A little tactic I use

While I consider this little tactic to be clever, the chances are many people may have already tried this, although in my PVP fights I have not yet seen this happen so maybe it's not too well known. I'll use myself as an example: my three DPS skills are pummel, double attack and giant swing. The recast time goes from quickest to slowest in the order aforementioned. My tactic is simple yet effective. I start out attacking with an auto attack, followed by pummel, followed by an auto attack, followed by double swing, followed by an auto attack, followed by giant swing, followed by auto attack, and then pummel which will be ready in this time. This way, I am constantly streaming skill moves without needing to wait to recast, and am constantly attacking the opponent rather than auto attack, wait, auto attack etc.

This has worked for me in PVP and levelling :) hopefully this doesn't sound like the dumbest, most obvious post ever, I'm just trying to share the tactic which has brought me moderate success :D

Reaper before shatter
Shatter hit : 10 secs

Pummel - Swing - Double( - Melee(or skewer) - Pummel .... - Shatter most likely done, maybe a melee or skewer after pummel.

If my match isnt so high on health (and armour, mostly rogues rangers and mages), just my shatter + double with reaper can pretty much do the job, i found myself doing 4.5k double on lvl 195 rogue while on dummies i do 3k's more often.
