S/R's suggested rotation with the new GCD

With the new GCD put in place, what Is your optimum DPS rotation? What are the suggested skills to max?

I don't see how it's any different now than it was before. Only thing that should really change is now you can spam Shot at the beginning to ensure you get the Exploiting Shot bonus.

Thanks for the reply. Now that I re read my OP, I realize I asked the wrong question.

I just dropped Warrior and picked up rogue. What is the optimum rotation for a S/R?

Mainly just get off Autoshot Shot so you have Exploiting Shot, then try for Weak Spot, and Piercing Arrow to get your Crit buffs, Then I usually do ComboShot, and Vampire Arrows, and DPB. Then whatever else isnt on cooldown. With the new GCD, it's gonna be slower to get through the cycle you make, so you wont be spamming much unless you disclude a couple skills.

Does Autoshot trigger Exploiting Shot??? If it does the i was totally unaware of that.........

Auto-shot does not trigger Exploiting Shot (unless they changed it with a recent patch). Only shot triggers it.

As to the OP's question this is what I am currently testing out. It's still subject to changes.

1) Autoshot + Reflected Shot (because it doesn't seem to trigger GCD)
2) Piercing Arrow + Weak Spot (to increase crit rate)
3) Shot (optional, Exploiting Shot is pretty useful in party situations)
3) Combo Shot (hope you crit)
4) VA + DBP (usually can get it off with the crit buffs still active)
5) repeat from step 2 & you may throw in reflected shot if your other major skills are on cooldown
