2.15 Savage BiS

28 GCD loop, 2 filler GCDs.

2.07 Savage BiS

29 GCD loop, 3 filler GCDs.

Small hit in DPS in exchange for a slightly extended rotation, offering more flexibility with mechanic downtime.

2.00 Savage BiS

Classic “Fast SAM”. Trades a ~1% DPS loss for a faster playstyle with even more filler to maneuver mechanic downtime. May have difficulty Iai/double weaving even on the best of connections.
