Swipe vs rake in aeo for rdruid

has anyone else noticed how a single cast of rake does more damage than casting swipe until you get to like 6 targets. i noticed that the tooltip says one number but is physical damage so it actual does less on mobs due to armor. if you play the adaptive swarm build then it would technically be more that 6 since all the mobs would have swarm on them so rake would end up doing more damage

it seems like swipe needs a buff. i feel like when it gets to 4 targets swipe should be what we press. it doesnt really bother me but just want to know what other rdruids think.

Mmmm. Yes! Spread those bleeds!

Unless those mobs die fast.

Don’t swipe, it’s expensive and doesnt hit very hard. Use brutal slash. It hits harder and allows for more rake usage. You get the best of both. Dot spread and hard hitting aoe.

i dont think resto druid has brutal slash.

Lol

Ah… missed that part.
That’s what I get for playin on my phone at work.

That changes a lot.

Swipe away!

Rake has to run its full course to do all that damage read off in the tooltip. If mobs die before that, you’re better off just hitting swipe.

thats a good point i didnt even think of that thanks for the info
