Run from SMBG today, trying to do the rotation better. The damage profile seems right, but I feel I'm being sloppy with AOE dance rotations
two biggest issues - you're not rupturing packs and for whatever reason you're really against using shadow dance on bosses
I'm finding my cd for dance pretty low on bosses
as for rupturing packs, does that mean I go in, spread rupture and then do dance aoe rotation?
for example, this is the first pull of the dungeon.
the TLDR here is: you have opprotunity at the start of the pack to rupture to get it ticking throughout the fight. SMBG has relatively small packs (when considering life span) , 1-2 ruptures is generally enough.
I also highlighted some other concerns with the aoe dance.
-
strike->storm likely wastes a lot of CP, you could rupture here for basically free to get it rolling on most of the pack
-
this BP shoulda been your first global in dance to minimize CDR waste - this is a bit nit picky because im adovcating wasting CDR on rupture, and frankly this wont come up very often in a key - but this is worth pointing out because a) we BP in dance normally and b) without TFD dance is sent regardless of current CP. Its fine to Dance-> finish , and you actively avoid that throughout most of the dungeon
-
this storm (or the one before it) shoulda been a strike - consuming premed w/ strike in aoe remains relevent up to 7 targets for SND uptime/ building DM stacks / general cp efficiency
-
this tea is a bit late, it shoulda been with your dance, but its happening before your sec tec so its not a huge deal
oooh lots of good learning points for me
right I have a tendency to strike -> storm to teleport into a pack with tricks. Maybe I could strike rupture?
strike for an opener is good from true stealth, it consumes a premed, gives cp etc
but the storm followup just wates cp
strike rupture would be a good adaptation
- I see your point, I think its a good optimization I need to keep in mind. But I feel my basic rotation is a little off. Will keep in mind to add in tho
- Yeah I definitely don't respect no. of targets and finishers very well atm. Gonna keep this in mind, esp since it shows in my SnD uptime being so low
- Right I see your point, esp if its tornado -> dance + tea -> finisher -> finisher -> finisher. thats essentially 2 finishers I miss tea out on with what I'm doing
Which is another point, I'm not using tornado often enough or correctly enough
I tend to storm in dance for aoe when I should be using tornado
yeah its a little rough to give specific advice with regards to M+ because using tea w/ dance in aoe is very good, but then you might not have tea for ST fights, so you really need to have an idea of whats coming next and whether is worth committing the charge for a bit of extra damage
nado usage is rough tbh
mine or as in in general?
lol both
with tea usagei'm trying to keep in mind upcoming encounters as well as not hold tea
hmm, might be worth relooking my keybinds then
11 casts in 23 minutes may as well not be talented tbh
For nado I'd suggest just trying to hammer it on CD, regardless of dance/etc
got it
you can work on optimizing it in dance later
gonna keep that in mind
these are probably the bigs thing you wanted to mention?
Ok I guess I've got lots of basics to work on
the big things for you:
rupture - please do it; it owns, especially at the start of the fight, things will likley die too quickly in 16s to really justify a refresh/application later into the pull
cd usage in general - as mentioned nado usage isnt the best, and you're missing dance casts, even in st fights
non-tfd Dance rotation - it could just be lucky but you very often Finish->dance and thats telling me you're trying to force your dance at low cp.
1-2t
0-3 CP: Dance+strike->evis->strike->sectec->[]
4-5 CP: dance+gb->evis->strike->sectec->[]
6-7 CP : dance+evis->strike->sectec->strike->[]
aoe:
0CP: dance+strike(storm)->powder->storm (strike)->sectec->[]
high CP: Dance+powder->strike (storm)->sectec->storm (strike)
--alternatively: dance+powder->strike->powder->storm->sectec->[]
(due to cp gen in aoe you really shouldnt be in a situation where you're at mid-levels of cp)
Hey @limber sable ima reply in the AM, gotta head to bed. Don't mean to be rude and leave you hanging
no worries have a goodnight - good luck on prog
thanks man
OK read through this. Makes sense
The part about non-tfd dance, I try to finish at 6/7CP as much as possible. But the starting cp and different dance I didn't know well. Gonna keep that in mind.
Thanks so much for reviewing the logs, giving detailed feedback.
Do you mind if I ping you down the road in a week or two for follow-up feedback @limber sable ?
np lgl
Lgl?
