Wanting to find out how I can improve on single target.

[white bluff]

i'm not the best log reviewer, but a couple things i noticed:
no opening tea: you use your first tea at 48 seconds in, thats nearly the full cooldown
slow opening dance: you don't do your first dance until 11 seconds in
sec tec: should be using this as your second finisher, you're using it as your first most of the time
rupture: good uptime, but check the finality rupture optimization tip
dance: check the rotation with the first dance talent, you're losing cp from doing this wrong
vanish: try to use the vanish strike inside dance, your first one was outside of dance during high lingering stacks

[zealous temple]

Thanks for the pointers :)

I noticed during the fight that I forgot the gb->evis in the dance, need to go practice that more on the dummy.

[gusty anvil]

haha, i don't think log reviewing is a profession, you did great

i would say the rupture uptime could be a bit higher even

slice and dice uptime is also low-ish

shadow dance uptime is low, likely as a consequence of mistakes

[zealous temple]

Thanks to both of you. :)

[gusty anvil]

but yes, opener should be this

[zealous temple]

Yeah, most times I realize I forget I should use tea and vanish in the opener

Need to go practice that more on the target dummies

[gusty anvil]

vanish in dance is not a super big optimization

so it is a smaller mistake

doing the dance rotation corretc is a bigger one

^ e.g. this is how it should look like

[zealous temple]

Yeah because of danse macabre stacs

[gusty anvil]

exactly

also one thing if you want to min/max

torch is usable of gcd

so you can use it during the cooldown of a spell

so e.g. just press it fast after using evi, and you don't lose 2 gcds

but only 1

[zealous temple]

Oh, that's interesting. I didn't know it was off gcd.

What's the optimal place to use torch in the start?

After dance or before?

[gusty anvil]

just on cooldown asap

so you can e.g. strike+torch-storm or gb- rupture

also one thing for shadow dance, be careful

the spec is a bit overwhelming when you start out

but you should try to not introduce too many delays when using shadow dance

because in this case, you only used 7 abilities in dance

instead of 8

(tho the dance rotation was good else)

you can also move step to improved storm if you want, it isn't rly much of a damage gain

but it allows you to start the fight with strike-storm-rupture

and guarantees find weakness for the first shadow dance

[zealous temple]

Oh and get a guaranteed find weakness

Yeah, that seems like a good idea

[gusty anvil]

for gems, i think you would want a main stat gem

[zealous temple]

Yeah. I didn't get one at first since my rogue was an alt but it's quickly transitioning to be my main again :D

[gusty anvil]

does not need to be on neck, but neck is a easy slot to put it

[zealous temple]

Thanks again for all this. Need to go do some practice now :)
