Not the best showing, but felt like I was palying well.

Theres a couple of places I feel like needs to be tightened including:

• rupture positioning
• sectec usage
• tracking FW

Would love to get feedback

[wicked rapids]

@stone belfry if you have time and can review?

[forest haven]

Repost your log and I'll have a look

Ahh, I remember looking at this

Give me a few minutes

So, your talents are built for AOE. On Eranog, I always just go full single target. In our rekills, the adds never live long enough to make the pad worth it. If you want a "good log" then you'll need a group that doesn't blow up the adds the moment they're up

Rupture uptime looks fine, especially since you didn't step to boss for boss damage pad when he jumps

You can cast symbols way more

You should be sending it on CD, not holding for anything

If you have dance coming up you can wait maybe 2~ seconds or so

but else, full send it

Trinket usage is fine

Dance usage looks okay

You let slicendice fall off for 14% of the fight, that's free dps

try to keep it up at all times

Looks like you panicked a bit during this dance window, blowing your CB on a strike instead of your sectec

also missing a GCD near the end of it

I think you'd benefit from full committing to single target on first boss, even if this means your overall log isn't quite as high

[wicked rapids]

hmm i'll keep this in mind and experiment next round. I'm a little surprised with the CB sectec as I've macroed it to sectech specifically. I'm not sure why it was logged this way.

If you have time to review the Primal Council log too?

What might have been the case is that CB was up, SecTec wasn't and so, you pressed it, realised that sectec wasn't up but had used strike by that point already

Sure, give me a few mins and I'll check it out

[wicked rapids]

Hmm that might happen. Rah I should track that usage a little closer it seems esp since Afenar's WA shows it

[wicked rapids]

Hey about to head to bed, will reply when I wake up

[forest haven]

Alright, having a look now captain

first of all, it looks like you didn't start from stealth! You want to strike onto your first target, interrupt it and build as the 4 bosses are gathering. from there, Rupture TWICE to ensure you get into your burst faster.

So, here:

You ruptured 3 times, which is a position management issue. What you ought to be doing, is rupturing once, seeing who it spreads to then, positioning yourself correctly so that your empowered rupture won't overwrite one of the existing ruptures and instead just be applied to the boss without the debuff

Rupturing 3 times like this means:

Risking overwriting one of your Empowered Ruptures
Getting into burst window later

in dance, I play this fight the exact same as m+. Just strike > BP > SS > SecTec > SS BP Spam

outside of dance, you should be maintaining your rupture debuff on all bosses, empowered when possible and firing out SS BP spam

You can be very liberal with your teas but, be careful of running out of charges completely

Here are your dance casts, you could easily squeeze in another one at the 2 minute mark. Although the cast may seem like it's not worth it, typically more casts > "better" casts

The uptime during dance seems to be an issue. Marks can get hectic so, wouldn't worry about this too much but, it's also a DPS gain if you're able to keep in melee and get the full value out of your dance. This also ties into the last thing I said where, more casts are typically better - play it by ear and see what you can do. Your judgement will get better about this over time

I think cuddle did go over eranog, so i will quick look at council

you did talent into gloomblade what you don't need on the fight

so you can use that point for e.g. stiletto

you took way to long before your first dance

ideally you just storm-rupture-storm-rupture-dance

position should be so that you cover all 4 targets

tornado into dance would be best

but if you feel more comfortable you can

tornado after

best would be to strike-bp-storm-secret or storm-bb-strike-secret

you want to use storm and BP after secret

vanish use can be like you want, it does not matter on 4 targets so you don't need to force it in dance

tea should be used earlier in dance to cover more dance empowered spells

rupture refresh should always be 2 rupture casts, 3 means you need to improve positioning

you rly don't need the gloombalde there you should be almost always on 6+ cp

can also already use tea again for 2nd dance

don't think i need to comment on this dance window, a lot of lost gcds

tea again very late

you had quite long downtime, shouldn't happen with most tactics

again tea, you rly want to use it before dance

*before secret

lost a gcd here

i think you force 7 cp with gb

every dance

its not good

you can finish with 6 just fine

again lost globals

bad positioning

tea not in dance

issues more or less repeat

so tl;dr:

• try to position yourself better to reduce rupture casts
• use tea earlier to get more benefits from the mastery buff
• if you want to use tornado off gcd in the opener, on cd after (on low cp)
• avoid downtime or lost gcds in dance
• don't GB in dance

[wicked rapids]

read your comments, i'll work on the positioning. the pug fight was a little more hectic than I like but will try to keep uptime.

[wicked rapids]

hey thanks for reviewing! Makes lots of sense overall.

For your last point, don't GB in dance as in - don't force 7CP in dance and just send at 6?

[empty dew]

yes

[wicked rapids]

I'll make it a point to tea better, and use tornado to open for dance

[empty dew]

you only use GB on 4 or 5 cp, if you strike with premed you land on 5+ always, so you shouldn't gb every single time

[wicked rapids]

I kinda wanna see visually the fight how it was. There was a lot of marks spreading going on which I suspect was why I had downtime (pug raid), but no excuses still

[empty dew]

i also hope i didn't repeat something cuddle did mention, a lot of good input from her too

[wicked rapids]

you did, but that just means I need to work on it more.

but overall lots to work on to get better. thanks @empty dew and @forest haven

[empty dew]

just try to give yourself time

mistakes are normal, and fixing one at the time is usually better than trying to do "everything at the same time"

[wicked rapids]

I hear you, I recognise I've come a long way since the days of not knowing the dance rotation. And knowing how long that took to just get comfortable with it it'll take time

Super grateful for how supportive you and the community have been during that
