TALENT IMPORTS AND OPENER:

DISCLAIMER: There is no "Best" or "correct" build. Thanks to the awesome talent trees in WoW, we have tons of options depending on the situation we're in. I'm offering builds that are viable but I'm not claiming, that they are the absolute best builds.


Raid Single Target Build (Rider of the Apocalypse):
CwPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwMjZMDDz2MzMTzmZmZMjBAAAAAAAgZGmZAw2MmZ2mZGjZAbmFDDZgZjhGLAYGAGzMjZAmZmxYA


Mythic+ / Dungeon Build (Rider of the Apocalypse):
CwPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYmhZMDDz2MzMTzmxMzMjBAAAAAAAgZGzYAgZMzsNzMGzA2MbGGyAzGDNWwAmBgxMzYGgZmZMG


Single Target Opener (Rider of the Apocalypse):

1) Outbreak
2) Festering Strike into Festering Scythe
3) Army of the Dead with Dark Transformation
4) Soul Reaper
5) Necrotic Coil
6) Necrotic Coil
7) Putrefy
Into your normal single target rotation. The AoE opener is the same -- just swap Death Coil for Epidemic.


-------------------------------

San'layn alternative builds (not recommended, but here if you want them):

San'layn Single Target:
CwPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwMjZMDDz2MzMTzmZmZMjBAAAAAAAgZGmZAw2MmZ2mZGjZMwAzYRjlFAbTsBgZAYMzMmBzMYGjB

San'layn Mythic+ / AoE:
CwPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwMjZMDDz2MzMTzmZmZMjBAAAAAAAgZGzYAgZMzsNzMGzYgBmxmGLLAWmYDDYGAGzMjZwMDmxYA
