So 5.5 just hit us and the changes for the Jedi Knight/Sith Juggernaut went live.
I read the changes beforehand and saw a lot of controversity about the "Persistent Chil" skillpoint.
Up until 5.5 i used the rotation from Skyesora on Dulfy. After i saw the changes i changed the rotation a bit and put in "Slash" for "Freezing Force" in the single target rotation, to trigger "Force Lash" more often due to it's now increased damage. To make up for the additional 1 focus which is consumed, i swapped "Sundering Strike" and "Concentrated Slice" so that it's executed like in the opener.
Pre 5.5 i did around 9200* DPS with the "old" rotation.
However, now after 5.5 i reach 8800* DPS with the changed rotation (a 400 DPS loss)
with the "old" rotation i only get 8200-8300* DPS!
*(with 246 Gear on a 2.5 million HP dummy with shattered armor)
I did not get the feeling that there was any intention to nerf the Focus Guardian or am i wrong?
Is there anyway to change the old rotation to make up for the loss of the damage from the "Persistent Chill" utility, or am i doing a mistake in first place?
