so macro decision wise, this seems off for a h terros reclear

[silver arrow]

Hmm so maybe it is about the talens?

Hmm I should play the first dance than

[lunar raft]

for H Terros i dont think you ever see a second target, let alone a third one I'm still looking, but its probably not the main source of any energy issues you're having

[silver arrow]

Yeah there is only Terros target for Heroic

I don't know why am I having so much energy issues honestly

[lunar raft]

Yeah so TFD will be a) a lot more ST damage and b) actually result in some energy gain cause of the free CP

Honestly your energy management isnt terrible

oh i always forget they stack vertically when posted sorry

but this is EVERY use of Tea after the opener

and every single time you use it right before or right after a finisher

because of how relentless strikes works, you can generally afford not to tea for energy if your next global is a finisher

especially outside of dance

[silver arrow]

ahh ok

So I should use the tea only when I'm building and not before a Finisher

[lunar raft]

but even considering that you're only wasting ~ 1/6th of the energy from the CD which obviously should be 0 but itsnt terrible to consider

[silver arrow]

that also might be impactifull indeed

Yeah I know it is not terrible, with that gameplay and proper talents I should get like 90+ logs, but I want to improve to go to 97+

haha

But what you told me makes total sense about relentless strikes

Thanks a lot! It is hard to find ppl like you that are open to help the newbs

[lunar raft]

yeah on the whole this is a pretty clean log

[silver arrow]

thanks a lot friend!

[silver arrow]

What is CD?

[lunar raft]

most obvious issue i saw was your opener is a bit scuffed;

first global in it is is delayed a whole second losing a cast in the dance, and you're vanishing before you consume the premed buff from Dancing

[lunar raft]

"the cooldown" - just talking about Tea

[silver arrow]

ahh ok

[lunar raft]

Nevermind the vanish statement

you're not running TFD and its throwing me through a loop lol

[silver arrow]

hahahha

Yeah, but I got it what you mean

[lunar raft]

you enter that dance at 0 cp -> GB

-> VANISH SS

so you waste 2 premeds

which is very bad

[silver arrow]

I got it

I have to wait the Dance to ends before using vanish?

or just after pressing SS?

Just after pressing SS right

[lunar raft]

A good first dance sequence with TFD would look like:

[have rupture and FW up] -> TFD + GB ->evis->Strike (consumes dance premed) -> Sec Tec ->Vanish Strike -> evis -> vanish strike -> evis

if you dont have FW up from setting up you rupture you can replace tfd+GB w/ tfd+ storm

[silver arrow]

Hm ok, I honestly don't check FW if it is up or no

Just Rupture and SD

SnD

[lunar raft]

for 90% of the fight, FW will take care of itself

[silver arrow]

ah k

but tfd+storm is pretty strange in ST huh?

[lunar raft]

its toxic and i hate it yeah, but silent storm garuntees your first Storm in dance will crit -> garuntees you will get fw up

[silver arrow]

yep

[lunar raft]

not having FW up robs you of your Evis' Shadowed finishers

which is basically another 40% multipler on ~half your dance

[silver arrow]

yeah is a lot less dmg without FW

I'll keep an eye on that FW from now on

if I don't have FW so I should always Dance -> Storm

than the normal rotation

[lunar raft]

Yeahp. I do believe it stays relevent throughout the rest of the fight - ie: if your FW wont lsat your dance u should storm > GB to get CP after tfd

[silver arrow]

k k

great tips!!

Thanks a lot

[lunar raft]

rupture could use some love as well:

ideally; you have a Finality boosted rupture (which i marked with f's for you in that high quality graphic) up during your dance windows

you lost your rupture on the 2nd dance which kinda ruined it for the rest of the pull because you actually managed the buff pretty well from there

its worth refreshing rupture Pre-pandemic if you're going into your dance window + have a finality buff ready to be consumed

[silver arrow]

hI SORRY i HAD TO LEAVE

But what is this finality boosted rupture? that's new for me

As far as I know I should never use ruptude during dance right?

Is that it? Finality rupture:
Optimizing around finality is mainly about consuming the buff in time, the optimal way to do so is to prepare Rupture for Shadow Dance. This means to use Rupture if the remaining cooldown of Shadow Dance is lower than 10 seconds and you have the Finality: Rupture buff.
This optimization can lead to 2 Rupture casts between Shadow Dance, this is not a mistake. This optimization is only relevant on pure single target.

But 2 casts of Rupture inside Shadow Dance? In single target? Wth? Why would I use 2 times rupture inside Shadow Dance while I can evis?

[lunar raft]

Neither me nor your c/p is saying to use it inside of dance, the optimization is to consume the buff prior to dancing ao that you have a finality rupture ticking and benefiting from the damage Amp of being in dance
