Proper use of festering & scourge strike

Gotta question for you unholy nerds. I’ve been playing my DK a lot more lately. Trying to gear him up before the next tier opens up. On 2 boss cleave fights, like Huntsman, do I apply festering wounds to both? Outside of death and decay would scourge striking one affect the damage im doing to the other? Or should I just go all in on Hunt and soul reaper the dog when it’s time? This is with the typical ST talent build most websites recommend. (All will serve not the scourge strike talent)
Ty in advance.

FS cleave and DnD is the recommended play. You can use naked SS in your DnD cleave if your wounds run out.

Festercleave or not to Festercleave, that is the question. :thinking:

I think it’s a situational thing. You do not want to spend the time and runes to do festercleaving and then find yourself missing out on the DnD window. Depends on situation. For huntsman, I do festercleave on the first add but not necessarily in further DnD windows.

Which is why I most likely use Festering Strike a lot more often ahead of time. If the doggoes stack on the Huntsman, then drop the beat. I value IC since it just applies a wound without spending a rune.

AWS, while sims higher in ST, feels kinda… bland to use.

Bland maybe but generally superiour. Do remember that it also cleaves, so it’s not completely one-dimensional.

The Skulker cleaves?

Am I missing something?

EDIT: I just checked, it does MS. Interesting! I actually did not know this.

It’s 50% of primary target DMG in 8 yards :slight_smile:

Alright cool, at that point it’s just being good and making the rotation smooth in assuming
