Traumatic..

<DIV>Can anyone tell me if there is any timing involved with Traumatic Swipe? Like when to use it when not to? Thanks</DIV>

You have to use it before an ability (like an aoe goes off) and then the ability will take 50% longer to come up next time. for example. Lets say you are fighting venekor in CT and our sample ability is Venemous cloud which has a predictable recast timer. Lets say its 30 seconds. Note: this information is not real, this is just an example. 00:00 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud. 00:30 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud. 01:00 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud. 01:10 into fight: You cast torporous strike. 01:30 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud while torporous strike is on. 01:50 into fight: You cast torporous strike, but torporous strike misses. 02:15 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud. 02:45 into fight: Venekor casts venemous cloud. Anyways i hope this makes sense. If you are having someone call the aoe with a parse program, I do not suggest using torporous strike because its unpredictable (because it can miss) and really messes stuff up. For everything else though (majority of content), having 50% less of mob-specific-abilities is very nice. Like eyeball AOE's in deathtoll, tarinax, et al. <div></div>

Some of the new versions of ACT actually take TS into account and add the 50% to the timers when you set it ip.<div></div>

Another thing to remember is that TS does not only effect AE's, it effects ALL CA's and spell that the mob uses, therefore you create a significant reduction in damage to the tank and the rest of the raid.<div></div>
