What spec do you prefer? I've been running this lately but have been thinking of changing it up some
I prefer this; against single targets I just DC and fire, which seems to work well enough. Against larger groups I'll throw a dark sphere, then a DC immediately after, fire at whatever I DC'd until i'm almost out of ammo, then fire off all four of my swarms at stuff that was primed by my DS arriving by now. If I do it right I end up with four combos at almost the same time. Then I detonate the sphere.
If I do it right.
I don't do it right.
More often, I throw the sphere, and either it refuses to launch or detonates instantly, giving me a massive cooldown, except that doesn't show up on my screen, just the hosts. Then I spend a few seconds trying to DC but can't because reasons, at which point the DS appears to arrive so I start firing, except I do crap-all damage because they're not primed. Then I almost run out of ammo and stop firing, except my gun decides to keep firing for an extra 20 ammo forcing me to wait 5 seconds to start regening ammo, so then i try to fire my swarms except lag only lets me throw one every 5 seconds and they don't detonate because the sphere's not really there during which time a phantom sneaks up behind me and gives me a chest-vasectomy.
