Feb 15, 2016  However you cant really compare it to Destro since 4 has a CD that gets reset by F but still its not up 100% of the time compared to destro. Current Patch aswell as 50 Patch if we talk about single target dmg sin is by far the strongest class. That also is the reason why perma stealth even exist. For soul badge and mysic badge, I used holy fire and the dmg increase on rb mystic badge, so the rotation after first 10 seconds is 4 RB F, which obviously will make dps go down by a lot, but since bb would have short cd, it would go back up soon after.
