[Choppa] how often do you buff?

Bring Da Pain, Get Stuck In, Come and Get It! - I usually wait until Furious for GSI and then every CD, BDP for when I'm in a good spot (guard+heal) and going in for burst, and CaGI when I feel them focusing me. Along with managing rage, I try to juggle these. How do you do it?

question : do you feel the difference with toughness buff ?
since the combat formula patch.

Since patch, I haven't been in a place to use it. Worked well when guarded, or at least I survived often enough to keep using it - before patch of course. As a note, I also will drop DWLF sometimes, so the toughness bonus is felt more.

So after another week of play, I'd say the extra toughness has helped me out of some places, though its hard to measure this IMO. I usually don't run anything in Wrecka tree so the buff is minimal.

Tonight I was trying out dual wield, and using CaGI makes a noticeable difference. When 2h, I debate using GSI as the global could be used for other things and I don't feel the ~.2 speed shaved off is worth it. Perhaps if I'm jumping into a fight and have the global to spare.

Anyone else?

in general i see all the buffs useable atleast to cover your aa buff. i dont know why you put out 0.2 less cd on aas, maybe gear? (in general i find the stacking of aas modifiers a bit clonky, but normaly i suck at math) i get like 0,5 sec less aas cd, which puts me near gdc which i like in dw.
no practical expirence with 2h since 2 years :D
(papaer vaule is still 0,9sec less aas cd)

So you use BDP & CAGI to protect GSI? I guess I can see that, but that's just 2 CDs waisted IMO. Still, thanks for sharing that part.

On auto attack speed, GSI seems to underperform for me, but I also compare choppa 2h speed to other 2h classes that seem to have more efficient tools for this.


Edit: the 0.2 aas was off memory, testing it now it's 0.4 increase. Nice but still not shiny.
