Thanks @MCASotym for this incredible rotation. Very satisfying to play! It required a combination of RNG and speed to reach the magical 50.
My best kill was 0.3 faster: https://dps.report/ubhu-20250702-201849_golem
Looping rota that is 2k less dps: youtu.be/VPRi-zEV2iEPower Bladesworn - Lush Forest Split rotation - Looping- vs Sotym rotaRick2025-06-29 | Just a concept i made for a completely looping rotation based off @MCASotym Lush Forest rota. More information in looping rota concept video below.

Goofed the end a bit but theres not much more dmg to gain. Had quite a few 46.7k's but seems to be the limit. Best kills were on ~0.3s better phase but couldnt get the rng and perfect execution at the same time. Skill issue i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Got my recording setup back and some peepos have been asking me for a Kite Chrono PoV. Its not perfect by any means (first time im recording this and seeing what i could improve) but it does the job.
Chrono is an amazing kiter for HT. Perma vigor, giga stability and giga aegis. If you dont trust ur quickness for stability, Chrono is ur pick :FrogNice:

The 46.5k+ is very achieveable with some better rng. Good axe5 numbers here tho.
Took Derms rotation and changed a few details around. Most dps just gained from speedGW2 Power Virtuoso - 46.8k - Golem meme, not for real fightsRick2024-11-21 | Log: https://dps.report/LEDl-20241121-200644_golem
The original idea is from @MCASotym months ago i just changed the rotation a tiny bit. All creds to him. His video is unlisted so idk if i should link it.
Started off kinda weak but with a strong end. 47k might be within reach if perfect RNG and execution.
This is NOT viable in a real fight. Having Sword 5 on autocast makes it cast instantly when you weapon swap to d/sw and also makes it easily interruptable so cancelling the aftercast is alot easier than weapon stowing.GW2 HTCM WR 6:56 - Power Virtuoso PoVRick2024-11-16 | died feelsbadman

Whats different from a normal power berserker bench is that this one had below average RNG, its just well executed. The exact same rotation could get you 44k with better rng and would also allow you to do signet of fury before the last a2+3 and still kill golem on time before it runs out with just a few axe 5 hits.
So if u ever felt like u wanted to beat a benchmark, now is the time

Got stuck with bad timings on primo (my bad for not using signet since we were slow), zhaitan and soo1. Also got giga scammed with mantra on soo1: first press wasnt in line of sight so it got a bit delayed in the rota, second press UI showed 2 stacks but it still depleted.
A few mistakes to be ironed out but i havent had much time to optimize pvirt here and soo-won phases are still a bit scuffed and im making mistakes due to foodswapping since i havent been playing pvirt for long (learned 2 weeks ago). Alltime htcm (1k higher) is defo within reach on the perfect setup. Dont think ill be grinding for it tho. Theres potential for a higher log with pvirt-defender stack. Might explore that when the chance comes.
P.S remove foodswaps from the game, thanks

I normally never foodswap but since it was last try i figured i might aswell. Other than my own mistakes (like forgetting to contorl zerk uptime before kralk) we unfortunately had bugged Primordus from the previous attempt and also some issues on Soo Won 2 which took the 37k away.

We also had enough dps to skip taking the last portal in the enrage so we just spread out near the boss and killed it instead. Unfortunately i failed the wall jump at the end of P2 which cost me some extra dps.
This fight has some wonky mechanics where your axes are deleted if you hit invisible embodiments which is quite annoying to play around. In P1 its just a guessing game. If you watch the buffbar you will see me getting 2 axes every now and then instead of 3.
Im by no means a thief player. I learned deadeye for the first time less than 2 weeks ago and after getting my first kill with it (thanks toxxa for sharing strat) my goal was set to get the first 40 bomb. After alot of failed attempts due to wiping at sub 10% or by my own mistakes i finally got this one. Now i can retire cDE with the nerf peacefully.
Enjoy!

You should have F2 to CC crabs (and do a few auto attacks on mace on them)
You should also not use F2 to CC timecaster/saltspray to make sure you have it for orb CC. IDK why i decided to do it in this run.
also big sad on knockdown at the end of soo2 during m5 cast time :(

Inspired by some 44.6k from a chinese site posted by laoshi in sc helpdesk but since they did ranged precast (which helps this particular rota insanely much due to energy management and allowing a different rotation) its not an realistic number
