Don't forget to taunt, it's a DPS boost, epecially if your target isn't focused on you, and can be used at range when you're closing in. Just play it smart, cause it's also your only interrupt.

SS after EB w/ tactic helps the dot tick (which can crit) syncing with ED ticks to create burst

I havent been using ensorcelled agony for a while now. The crit EA ticks don't proc blurring shock and I'm using bubble a lot too. I've actually settled on the elemental resist tactic, definitely an unpopular one, but couple with 3 piece domi and 3 piece merc and some corp weighted jewellery (+winds impervious) I have soft cap resists in both spirit/ele/corp even before am/kobs buff. The damage mitigation of ranged classes (who btw love hitting 2h SM due to we lack a detaunt, usually dont have a guard, and are always in range) is noticeable.

Its less damage than EA + damage jewellery but my ST assist numbers are still very strong.

Has anyone played around with the hp regen tactics since they moved them? Been thinking about doing a 2h regen SM

I used Bolstering Enchantments for a while because I had a flexible tactic slot in my build.

Even high in Hoeth I didn't find it useful for anything outside PvE farming w/o a healer. The heals aren't strong enough to make much of a difference or supplement any competent healer. 1v1 it saved me in a very bad fight once, but a heal pot would have been as effective. I'm not in 1v1 situations often though.

Maybe running both would be passable supplement heals, but I wouldn't give up two tactics slots for it.
Edit: Doesn't even exist anymore lol

Honestly not worth it, and if you're deadset on hp regen then use bolstering with Ishas Protection as opposed to the other heal regen tactic.

Optimal DPS? Shield - Wrath - Blurring - eb - shift - ether dance

obviously if you need a snare then you'll use that

The taunt, should that be in the rotation before ED?

Save as taunt for necessary interrupts

Im guessing Crashin Wave (hardest single hit) should be used as taunt here above, using it as interrupt.

Advice me if I'm wrong regarding this.

interrup is timing.
perfect stance, immune check and melee range < insta taunt.
if you can use both as double interrupts, that's great.
