Hi, I'm picking up sub on DF after a long time playing outlaw. I noticed that my Rupture is really low, probably because of my positioning. Also I really struggle on my opener which is a big loss. Still tho, it's difficult for me to get over ~55k dps. What can I do to improve myself in keys ?

oh wow thats a ambiciouse opener ^^

it might makes sense to start with rupture to get the most out of it

not sure if evi is evi probably not neeed

tea likely better to be used before secret

one thing you can do, and probably should is to rupture targets that survive longer

halls has quite some groups with targets that don't die immidiatly

you also don't want to rupture during dance

when in not super high target aoe

you still want to use strike

so dance-strike-bp-storm-secret

secret earlier to get higher dm satcks

you should probably always use vanish for vanish-strike

i assume this is a single target part

basically

you likely want strike-gb(or storm)-rupture and dance after that

tea during dance or on low energy

never rupture during dance

the tea use is def. the one thing that needs work

tea in aoe is fairly easy, to use it with dance

but on the single target parts you won't unless you have it on high stacks

snd before dance here

you also overcapped massively on cp

strike with premed gives you high cp values

you lost a lot of dance time here

so basically

from the look i had:

• try to play tea more efficiently
• rupture multiple targets if they survive long enough, but also not during dance
• keep using shadow strike in multi target up to like 7 targets for premeditaiton and dm stacks
• try to use secret earlier in dance to get a larger amount of DM empowered finishers
• Use Vanish for dps if needed (during shadow dance after secret)

some general tips for the dungeon:

• you can use evasion to your advantage in multiple points of the dungeon (e.g. on the dog boss if it focuses you, just evasion tank or on the pack that randomly targets players with physical attacks... using it pre-emptively can be vital to not get oneshot)
• you can use vanish or shadowstep to your avantage to not get the bleed on the dog boss
• you can use cloak/feint on multiple occasions for dps or to help your healer

First of all, thanks a lot for taking a look at my logs !

Tea is definitively something i'm not familiar with yet and your advice will help me not picking up bad habits :p
I thought the goal of Dance was to build as many stacks as possible and finish with Secret Technique to get the most of it but it makes sense to using it earlier (as well as Shadowstrike for stacks).

Rupture is also something I struggle with because in larger packs I feel like Dance is coming off CD so often that I "don't have the time" spreading it.

DM is kind of a double edged sword

it makes you think that you always want to play around it

but it is more a balance act

basically

"what ability is worth the loss of efficiency to generate a stack of DM"

and it is not always worth it to trade it off

[west sedge]

You're totally right, and you spotted a big mistake right here

[stable niche]

i would not lable one mistake as big

[west sedge]

Premed would have refreshed the SnD anyways

[stable niche]

thats true too

potentially would have allowed you to wait for a refresh till after dance

[west sedge]

and I don't remember the vanish here and what I wanted to do.

Again, thanks a lot for your time !
