Potion->Racial->Warbreaker ->Execute ->Mortal Strike->Whirldwind->Azerite Essence->Warbreaker If you dont have the cd again save it for +2 targets ->Deadly Calm->Azerite Essence->Prioritize using Overpower whenever you aren't at 2 stacks of the Overpower buff. This is so that you don't miss out on possible cooldown resets. When you can Execute, you can use this at will because you will only be using Execute and not Mortal Strike.->Execute-> Mortal Strike-> Skullsplitter-> Save Bladestorm for 3+ targets AoE if it won't cool down again in time. Otherwise it is also good against a single target so use it when available. ->Whirldwind

If Deadly Calm is not up
Azerite Essence->Save Warbreaker for 2+ targets if it won't cool down again in time. ->Deadly Calm->Azerite Essence->Prioritize using Overpower whenever you aren't at 2 stacks of the Overpower buff.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How is this Guide useful?

The goal of our guides is to show you the overall "optimal" options for building your character. If you do not wish to dig through walls of text then you may like our visual "cut to the chase" approach.

Where do you get this data from?

I use algorithms to parse big data chunks from Top 1% Raiders using various public World of Warcraft sources such as the official Blizzard API and WarcraftLogs. I believe that statistics is a very reliable method for determining solid choices for end-game optimization.
