Evening, i have been goofing around with my SM SnB for a few weeks now. I was wondering, when is the best time to pop WW for RVR WB.

It really depends on the player affected - for me as a long time shaman main in org wbs I liked my chop fasta about 1-2 seconds after the frontlines clashed (keep in mind, that CF lasted 20 seconds back then).

This was usually the point were I was done prehotting and had 5 heal-stacks up. Other healers complained though, that it was too early for them, while dps were a whole other story.

So best u just ask your team and adjust according to your composition. When you have the best dps in the wb in your party and he relies heavily on your CD-reducer for full efficiency, his opinion is rather more valuable than that of a bad AM for example.

Thank you for the reply. So far i have only been running with semi org wbs. They either do not know what WW is or do not care, which leads me to think they might not be semi org at all. just a wb lead with lead help addon and AB.

Also good to create a macro that tells your party that you popped ww and hope that they can take advantage of it :)

Yes you can use Think Out Loud addon to configure a sentence telling your party you got WW up.

Depends on who you are affecting:
Tanks: no cd on Shatter/Sever. Good for small-scale.
White Lion: Spin and Echoing Roar 5s downtime.
AM: Spam EoV and Cleanse
WP: 5s downtime on Martyr's
BW: no CD on Annihilate.
SW: No CD on Barrage and Lileath's
Slayer: No CD on ID (They likely already have no CD if playing a good build)

Of this list, BW, SW and AM would be the best to synergize with on average.

That said, Vaul's Tempering will probably carry harder if you are watching the battle closely. ;)

Usually I see it for Barrage spam with Vengeance up on a SW for morale drain spam.
