Question about opener

Recommended Posts

During an opener with PI, if you get a barbed shot proc before popping aotw, is it better to delay kill command to get the cd on barbed shot rolling and putting you at 3 frenzy stacks faster, or is it better to kill command and barbed shot after for the 3rd frenzy stack?

You will have 2 charges of Barbed Shot until the shot right before AotW, so it is highly unlikely to get a charge between your first Barbed Shot and AotW. However, if by some miracle you cast Barbed Shot and are still at 2 charges when you finish the GCD, I think it  would be better to Barbed Shot again before AotW. Not only will this get you more time at 3 stacks of Frenzy while AotW is up but if you use AotW while you already have 2 charges of Barbed Shot, you are robbing yourself of the additional Barbed Shot charge that Primal Instincts gives.

I concern myself more with making sure I use BS at the last second to make my 3 stack last as long as possible and that seems to work better for me than trying to get to 3 stacks as fast as possible, only to not have another BS to extend.
