I normally use restrain-malicious-double up. Amazing damage output with those :smileyhappy:

<DIV>malicious and restrain for maximum damage / minimum agro combination</DIV>

<DIV>that may or may not get you a tiny bit more personal dps, but double up dispatch gets your whole raid another second of that</DIV>

<DIV>Max raid dps is dispatch / malicious assault (or dispatch, restrain, malicious assault if you have sailwind).  If your raid is running 15k DPS that 2 seconds is comparable to 5-7k damage extra damage. (for a total of 19.5 of dispatch) </DIV><p>Message Edited by Nitanyspirit on <span class=date_text>02-06-2007</span> <span class=time_text>09:58 AM</span>

<p>This combination is about to change again on some encounters since this is in LU32:</p><p> Brigand: Double Up - Now works with Sinister Strike. </p>

double up in itself isn't going to account for a huge increase in dps. if you really want to get your numbers up, grab a powerful weapon (or two) and get yourself in a group with a dirge, illusionist, berserker, and inquisitor.

I think the thread topic is mainly in the spirit of min/max to do anything you can to be sure you're getting maximum damage. Sure it might not be a large part of the big picture, but it does matter, even if only a small amount.</p>

Devitalize dispatch ruinous rake double up and subterfuge, it makes very high damage

[Tholar]

and then you're dead anyway in a raid... -> less dps -.-

Your combo is the most possible hate you could grab in a double up due to damage + debuff, but not necessarily max damage. </p><p>No point in doubling up on Devitilize and Rake other then damage, since the effect lasts longer then the recast. So the only reason to double up the skill would be damage...and Rake is not a better option then Malicious Assault, but it does draw more aggro, because of the debuff on Rake. Personal damage you'll get more out of Dispatch - Devit - Malicious Assault - Double Up then you will out of your combo. Devit does more damage then Dispatch, especially when cast after Dispatch. Increasing length if Dispatch is the only drawback if you miss the 3 shot combo. On a single epic mob that you'll kill in under 30 seconds though...I'm not worried about lengthening the effect so much, just unloading all of my damage CAs in that 17.5 seconds that Dispatch is up. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
