Take a look at this video, where I am fighting Bravatar (a WW Dragon).

Now, could I try to power through the fight with Bane to save a few minutes? Yes, but it is riskier.

You are such a bad player. Torpor isn't being maintained, not even close to having full uptime. It needs to be kept up perma, as that is the entire engine to allow maximum Canni usage. You aren't even keeping the Disease and Epic DoT's maintained properly.

It's definitely better to be using Bane of Knife along with the Disease DoT in this fight, as killing the target faster creates more efficiency. Look at how you even waste mana on recasting Malo because of how slow you are to kill. Not to mention, killing faster is simply better anyway, more time to move onto the next thing.

Telling people to avoid getting Bane of Knife until last resort is awful advice. That spell helps a ton when trying to level/farm or for general grouping to generate DPS, where most of the time a Disease DoT is not going to be lasting anywhere close to full duration on a pull.
