#Palmer - Log Review
hidden bay
raw sapphire
Not my best pull of the night, definitely - but sub 2% wipe so it's the most complete fight. Would love some feedback, as I'm not hitting my ST potential of 80k and I want to make sure that I can step up in all damage profiles

your dance->Striking a lot despite being talented into GB - this is causing a lot of CP waste.
You basically didnt have premed for this fight because of it.
there will always be some waste from seal fate/the builders due to the rng of WM procs etc but premed and dance should always be 0 waste, especially with TFD, the dance sequence is scripted and if you are hitting them right you will never overcap on those abilities. Strike also looks a tad high to me and im seeing a lot of finish-strike-strike-finish in your dances so a gentle reminder we finish at 5+ in dance, 6+ out of it.
Gear wise, check your ST sims if you have a better trinket than Whetstone - its not bad but it generally falls behind trinkets that have mainstat on them in ST, even if its a higher ilvl.

For trinkets, I don't unfortunately - I've had really shit luck with trinkets

its a little hard to see cause wowlogs wnt let me choose colors but you also end up desyncing your CB from your sec tec

What should I do if not dance into shadowstrike? I dance into GB?

Yup; the dance window with TFD is:

I think this is because I am casting feint - It's not that it's desynced it's that it's macroed, and I'll get to 5+ CP, hit the macro during a GCD, then feint, then sec tec again

enter dance at 0CP+GB->evis->strike->sectec->[strike to build 5+->evis to finish at5+]

we'll come back to this
finality rupture usage looks off too - you want to have it so that you're dances all have a finality boosted rupture ticking for their duration (minus the first one cause we need to send cooldowns asap).
gimme a sec here this one always takes me forever to draw

I don't think I've ever actually payed attention to this
small valley
so in this graphic, the green bars are your rupture casts, the blue are your dance casts; I've highlighted two scenarios near the start because i think they'll explain the idea behind the optimization the best.
-
This covers scenario covers two dances: the first dance in it is done fine, you refresh your rupture into a finality one w/ ~9s left on the original duration giving you basically a full pandemic on your Finality. this is aces. the problem here is the 2nd dance. Your rupture has ~40s of duration left, and it was cast at ~20s in, so when you hit your next dance at 50s, you actually have a full dance window (probably about 9-10s) of your empowered rupture already running still. You can choose to refresh rupture after that second dance, instead of doing it before as you do there.
-
here you just let finality drop, and never got the buff back. you do this a couple of times, i tried to mark where your ruptures are empowered with fs.
It can be a bit awkward to say "you should do this or that" because of how mistakes snowball. I would suggest starting with just trying to make sure you always consume the finality buff, and you can work on optimizing it after.
raw sapphire
hmm, okay - I'll need to dig into this a bit - finality isn't something I have ever tracked

It looks to me like you're coldblooding evis instead of sectec
raw sapphire
fuck, I'll have to check my macro then
raw sapphire
Long time ago I made a CB/Evis macro
I bet it's still on my ST bar
Since I haven't ran ST in a month+
small valley
make sure you check your stealth bar too
raw sapphire
yeah, I will
I thought I deleted the macro but I bet I just removed it from my bars
I had originally made it for Outlaw with CB/Dispatch, but when I swapped to Sub I changed Dispatch to Evis, then found out it was dumb and made a new one
small valley
but yeah quick recap in order of importance:
- Clean the dance window GB->evis->strike->Sectec
- CB your sectec :^(
- rupture optimizations are relatively easy and are fairly impactful
raw sapphire
Okay, easy - thanks for going through this! Last night was my first night as ST in Sub so I knew I'd have a lot to work on.
And I'll be ST for the next two fights so it's important to fix mistakes early
small valley
oh uhh
- fix your opener
its wrong; drill the one in #subtlety-faq until you can do it without thinking
