The opening rotation is not right for the prepatch right now. it mentions using Nemesis and using Eye beam to trigger Metamorphosis. However with current talents you can only have one of this. Either Demonic or Nemesis.

Will update now, didn't catch the doubled up talent on the second opener section

The talent choice for the TLDR version does not match that of the in depth explanation.  Most notably, the TLDR version indicates that Insatiable Hunger should be used in the level 100 tier while the in-depth version says not to take this talent at all.

In the Easy page which is, I assume the page you're referring to it does say that the options selected are as lightweight as possible. The performance hit of Insatiable Hunter vs. the others isn't drastic but is noticeable, causing it to not be recommended in the talents page; but it is the least invasive talent on the tree for new players who are looking for a quick build to jump into and learn with.

The Fury management section using demon blades seems incorrect. It mentions using Immolation Aura which is a talent from the same tier, unless I'm just missing something obvious here

Thanks for catching that! I've removed and updated, was an accidental inclusion.

Does the effect of Chaos TheoryChaos Theory still work, even though Chaos BladesChaos Blades got removed from the game? I heard that other legendaries that trigger certain skill effects which got removed don't work anymore. Which would make Chaos TheoryChaos Theory a bad choice, I guess.

Not only does it proc CB but now that auto attacks are more impactful, it's better than it was.

Tested it on a dummy yesterday. It does indeed proc but it's very rng based with its 10% chance.

In a 4 minute fight it procced only once while I was using Blade Dance around 24 times. So in bad rng situations it's very unreliant.

I'm not a rng fan myself. Maybe Sephuz is a decend choice now. Will test around with it.

Thanks guys.

Im with you, mate. I also didn't get enough CB procs in a 5 mins fight. Since I got a 260 ring, maybe I will keep using Raddon's Cascading Eyes instead of Sephuz. Or, maybe Kil'Jaeden's Burning Wish, it got decent stats.

If you want to test it, you can always run a gear sim on RaidBots to see if it's worth using.

"Pairing this with Immolation Aura IconImmolation Aura or Demon Blades IconDemon Blades to allow for background generation instead of committal generation tools such as Demon's Bite IconDemon's Bite can be useful to make the most out of this period, but, in some cases, you will simply have to use active generation due to resource exhaustion caused by RNG. "

 

It is not possible to pair the two first skills with each other as of now since they are both in the same talent level

The guide said or, not and. It is saying you can pair it with either of them.

I don't really see how Nemesis is a better option than Demonic in any case. Demonic is 10s metamorphosis every 30s (since meta also benefit eye beam), which gives 25% Hate and +30% damage on Chaos strike and +70% on blade dance.

Nemesis is, at best, 20% damage half the time, or 10% damage on average. Compared to ~8.33% multiplicative haste, 10% chaos strike and 23,33% blade dance, I can't see how it's not at least equivalent.

 

Why does Demonic has a ???

Why does Demonic has a ??? 

Nemesis is simply numerically better and performs better in sims by a good margin. That's because it syncs up with your baseline Meta every time. In a 1:1 clinical situation they are relatively similar, but when observing that cooldown stacking, it's generally more beneficial than more frequent, but interspersed cooldowns. Even with the support of T21 right now, Demonic struggles to keep up with both alternatives, and in the case of a shorter more frequent option, Momentum provides a whole lot in a more flexible package and can also be synced with Meta just like Nemesis.

These differences aren't drastic, but right now it's a ? simply because in single target it is worse to a reasonable (roughly 4%-8%~ generally speaking in high end gear depending on talent pairings) degree that it wouldn't make sense to recommend it. It's also partially due to Demonic leaning on talents that, right now in Legion are numerically inferior in Single Target but have a much better place in a more versatile kit (i.e. Blind Fury/Immolation Aura) that Nemesis doesn't, and can go all in on a very heavy ST build without needing to sacrifice Felblade + Demon Blades.

 

With all that said though, obviously Antorus has some places that can discourage Nemesis (with extended downtime/no long period of pure Single Target uptime) that could let you take Demonic, which is why it isn't labeled with a X.

Specially considering the fact that most people overgear the fights in Antorus right now, making phases last much shorter.
