LETS GO I've been waiting since 7.0 dropped Do want to correct one thing - it isn't the tactical that refreshes Affliction, it's a passive on your tree that makes crushing darkness and halted offensive refresh it. And, Affliction gives a guaranteed crit on Thundering Blast, which in my experience makes it better to use Force Speed on (Not to mention recklessness turns it into a supercrit, easy 90k+ when all your offensives line up)
One little thing id like to add is that if u are timing it correctly u can use affliction right as u are hard casting halted offensive or thundering blast which takes away a whole global cooldown. Basically use affliction at the same time as u are finishing your hardcast of halted offensive.
I‘ve seen people talk about this a lot. If you use affliction after a cast, you’ll still have to wait 1.5 secs for your gcd before you can use your next ability. And for the cast before affliction, the gcd will start at the beginning of the cast, and will already be over once the cast has finished. 2 abilities, 2 gcd, no gcds are skipped. This cast -> instant pattern makes abilities hit at the same time, which can be useful, but it does not skip gcds
Critical Ravi was actually the one who corrected me on this topic. It was a simple mistake on my part not noticing that the GCD starts as soon as you channel an ability. Making it seem like the next cast is happening very quickly without waiting on a GCD. But yes what Ravi said is correct.
@@MasterZhao Neither does, Halted Offensive/Chain Lighting and Mind Crush refresh it. You still don’t really have to pay attention to it, but it might fall off sometimes if you have to target swap a bit in operation
A little tip: if there is a sorc heal on your team let them shield u with the bubble. It will have additional buffs for thier heals and they can't bubble u up if there is the 20s debuff.
They have changed some abilities, what do you pick for PVE on 51? 3% dmg reductiono? Cause no longer you can cast some spells during movement unlees you are a healer
I have always this trouble of light armoury. When I get to Alderan, for example. I cannot really fight towrd stronger or elite enemies. Once I am going for clash I am ending up death like in 10 seconds. Might you help me please?
Thank you for the guide, I was waiting for it. Also I wanted to ask about is that new rotation works much better than priority sistem? Cuz with that 2.3 hardcasting time for halted offensive, I thought you loosing a lot of dps, especially when its a long fight boss.
I‘ve been using the rotation since I‘ve learned about ist, and it‘s doing quite a bit more than the priority system. Halted Offensive is just really good
Hey now .... That jab at FF is uncalled for ... There are PLENTY of spells that take 1.5 seconds to cast while weaving in a ton of damage... If you're talking Black Mage ... They're Made to be a turret that charges up a giant explosion, and detonates it over the target's head, over and over... Both are great games, don't bash on something you likely didn't get to Endgame in to know that "2.3 seconds feels like forever" ... because it goes by in a blink.
The perfect number is about 7.14% alacrity, but frankly go for like 7.2% to compensate for lag. If you have enough gear you can go for the higher 10.4% threshold for the 1.3 second GCD.
@@Biggsgaming Curious is the 10.4% threshold for the 1.3 GCD actually worth it if you can get the gear? Like how much of a dps increase would this actually present over just sticking to a 2.2% alacrity with more crit?
Issue is that with doing these I essentially stay in combat for minutes at a time with a lot of talking in between, so it would just be a clutter of useless information.
"and bam, you've taken away 100k of someone's property" genuine lol
I came for the good up to date rotation info I stayed for the puppies 🥺 give them lots of pets from me ❤️

So love your vids! You explain rotating so good, i understand every single thing in details! ❤️

Also, I thought only lightning bolt refreshes affliction, not thundering blast

Thanks, this is helpful to a 6.0 Lightning main.
Thnx for the guide dude.. been struggling with the lightning sorc as i was unaware of these rotations
"uh, thats a long time, it feels like you're playing Final Fantasy"
gave me a good laugh xD 'cries in Blackmage Main'

Thanks man, I'm coming back to the game and this is going to be helpfull.
how do you get that cool looking "stance"? Like even in character screen. Mine's all stand like creeps:D
I have always this trouble of light armoury. When I get to Alderan, for example. I cannot really fight towrd stronger or elite enemies. Once I am going for clash I am ending up death like in 10 seconds. Might you help me please?
May I ask what armor outfit that is? Love how it's just simple..
Thanks for a good and informative video, what relic would you recommend using?

Any chance that there might be a tier list coming up soon?
Returning player here I would love a pvp tier list
Ya I would love to see one from big man Biggs himself
Finally! can't wait to see it.
Thanks for the videos, they have helped allot.
This video is pretty darn nice :3
question I'm new to the game where would i get those tacticals.
This video was PRetty Darn Nice!
What transmog and color combo is this? Do you mind telling me?
Great video and info.
It’s pretty darn nice.
I love to see it!
Is sage TK the same as this? Due to being the mirror of sorc?
Do you not recommend your old build for lightning sorc, mastered it and helped me get though the entire story?
The fundamentals haven't changed much and the priority tree is still the same, so if you're rocking it, rock it.
big daddy biggs the dips
For some reason you can't pick (Force Mobility)
What outfit is that you have on?
Awesome! Thank you :D
my man really went sorc sage lmao
What situation is Lightning in compared to Madness for PvE?
(Just for Flashpoints, not raids or PvP)
As lightning got nuked in 7.1 or 7.2 , lightning does only a little more dps than madness, but madness has far more survivability. Go with madness
You're the reason im even a little good at this game lol
Does this apply to pvp or only pve

Thanks again. Nice vid
Duke and I are in concurrence
Bipity bopity there goes 100k of someones property LOL I love it
Is there a update??
Ahh yes one of my best time in this game was with L. Sorcerrer
Thoughts about Eyrin's Haste tactical?
It’s good for PvP
About time Master Biggs
why sage teleknesis parses are better than lightning? isnt mirroed classes?
Light stronger than Dark I suppose? Lol
There was a bug making pubside version of halted offensive hit harder. It was already fixed, so now they're literally the same.
what armor is this?
How much alacrity recommended ? don't see info about the stats
The perfect number is about 7.14% alacrity, but frankly go for like 7.2% to compensate for lag. If you have enough gear you can go for the higher 10.4% threshold for the 1.3 second GCD.

Lightning go Brrrrt
Yes thank you
0:40 Do you mean 7.2 alacrity, and not 2.2 ?
surprisingly no, Ling gets a buff that gives you so much free alacrity that you only need 2.2 to get the 1.4 second gcd
@@Biggsgaming ! Ling ?
Thanks for help
I miss Mark in swtor
This still good for 7.4?
Kinda. They nerfed hard casting (casting now takes 3 secs) and it's not as worth it as it was in the past
can a jedi knight sage
become a sorcerer?
If you get enough dark side points, you can swap sage to sorc for free from your character sheet.
lvl 51 power no longer exsists
How bout putting up star parse while you use these videos
Issue is that with doing these I essentially stay in combat for minutes at a time with a lot of talking in between, so it would just be a clutter of useless information.
Its a shame this spec has been underperforming so hard for the last 3 Xpacs now.
i like all the high level awesome sorcs have green llightsabers,... i was 2nd best healer on my server at 60 and i have mint green lightsaber lololol
Lightning sorc sucks nowadays. barely parses over 10k. Madness instantly putting out a minimum of 17k dps
am i taking advices from a light sided sith? you are a disgrace, peace is a lie.
Joke aside, thanks for the tutorial
Beginners? Lol
