Anybody can give me some pointers on how to improve? Verbro in the sbg key:)

@meager crest Random ping but I heard you are excellent at log reviews and I wanted to ask if you could have a look at this log to help me out?

[meager crest]

sure

you are talented into gouge but you didnt use it for the entire key, i think not using evasion + atrophic is trolling specially this week cause you can evade spiteful hits

your rotation looks sound enough i doubt there is a glaring error that is destroying your damage rotation wise

you do have a habit of hitting sinister strike while fan the hammer is already active

this build should never do that

This build consumes fan the hammer immediately as long as you are below 6cp and audacity is not already active

you have have a slightly tendency to use finishers at 5cp which is always wrong

Your blade rush casts do feel on the low side but that's not a big deal

[tough tree]

My brain feelsbad when pressing pistol shot with fan the hammer when I'm at 5cp x)

Could you tell me how you checked this in the log?

[meager crest]

I go this page and zoom in at random points

such as this

this chart is showing combo point consumption over time

Some of them are 4cp even

Okay cool, I need to be more consistent with that

Blade rush is worth casting as long as it doesn't energy cap me?

[meager crest]

sometime using BtE is causing you to fire a single pistol shot

because bte causes pistol shot to glow for greenskins

this may trick you into thinking fan the hammer is active when it's not

[meager crest]

It depends on target count

on single target you use it at ~50% energy

but as target count increases, the energy threshold is less important

so at like 5 targets... you could use it in the 75% energy range

at around 9 targets you can slam it regardless of energy

The energy rule is an approximation, its not something strict bc our energy regen is unpredictable

But the reason blade rush gains so much value in high target counts is because it is uncapped and can proc main gauche on any target hit

So especially on those big spider pulls, blade rush can have a ridiculous DPE if you are lucky enough

you did do it once

and then those gauches all blade flurried

[tough tree]

I didn't know of that interaction that's pretty cool

I do feel like I should generally be able to do considerably more dps, but I figure it's many of these small things that add up overall

[meager crest]

The rotation is not the only important thing

Things like blade flurry positioning, staying on the target marked by between the eyes, minimizing downtime with proper use of movement abilities is basically impossible to detect from logs

[tough tree]

Staying on between the eyes target is something I've never given much thought! I think I usually have pretty good melee uptime and blade flurry positioning.

This was very helpful, thank you for your time!
