This sums up:

  • 3x Furious Gaze for massive haste after each Eye Beam
  • Chaotic Transformation, which changes how you use meta, you pre-cast immolation aura, and ensure you have enough fury by using a demon’s bite. Then you Eye Beam, Blade Dance, Meta, Blade Dance, Eye Beam. Enjoy your nearly 2x as long haste buff! Then you spam chaos strike for more fury + CD reduction on Eye Beam etc.
  • Undulating Tides is what sims higher than Seething power for me, even with only 50% uptime or so. It’s a 435 part, yet seems to be BiS atm for me :thinking:
  • Eyes of Rage, enables the 0.7 cd reduction on souls you gather. Also does a bit more eye beam damage, but that’s not why you take it.

Talent wise:

  • Demonic Appetite over felblade and blind fury, as the recovery is far higher. Felblade is nice, but not in this build. Less Eye Beam time is less damage, but also more versatile for a quick burst. Possible DPS loss is countered by Eyes of Rage.
  • Immolation Aura, because it’s a nice pre-castable, on-demand regeneration, and the damage output isn’t too bad in AoE scenarios. Demon Blades is a no-go on this build as you need Demon’s Bite for on-demand regeneration.
  • Fel Barrage sims lower than Trail of Ruin for me, even on the dungeon sim, so Trail of Ruin is the to-go here.
  • I really like the leech here, though it’s somewhat obsolete due to Demonic Appetite, so it enables things like Netherwalk to be an easier pick without giving up too much health regen.
  • Unleashed Power because of the massive soul generation in M+, and generally speaking better utility in (bigger) AoE pulls. I’d take fel eruption in case of Demon Blade’s build for example.

Additional bonus in this build, if you first cast Eye Beam, the 3x stacking furious gaze will make your Iris essence cast extremely fast, so this is a perfect burst combination. What I usually do is Eye Beam -> Blade Dance -> AoE Stun -> Iris.
