aight reviewing now
strike gb storm? would strike, gb, rupture.
also why bp?
tea earlier so rupture benefits from tea.
also azure 1st pack is <7 targets. still worth striking for premed (snd)
- late tea
- shadowstrike missing
- consider the vanish optimisation if you minamxing
also spreading rupture to pack? only 1 rupture cast prior to this dance. there are 4 mobs in hallway and if you did ring skip, 5 mobs in main room. missing rupture casts
- rupture in dance w/o tornado?
- late sectech, 3rd finisher risks the clones not being DM buffed.
- late tea
- I see the vanish optimisation
- late tea
- 2nd rupture cast at 1.38 should be BP. don't rupture in dance unless part of tornado opener
- missing sectech cast.
- did you macro symbols to dance? don't hold symbols for dance or vice versa. separate binds
missing sectech again.
I cannot emphasis how much damage you lose each time not casting sectech
your previous tornado opener had no issue. what changed here?
- unless there was a need to stun in dance, don't
- nitpicking the rupture spreading here again
- late sectech again
- vanish optimisation done AFTER sectech not before
rupturing at the end of a pack? see rupture rules
if dance was on CD, you should be spreading rupture here.
dance is 8s, this looks like sectech was cast outside dance. this should never happen. sectech gets no DM stacks and you lose damage.
also late tea
are you trying to prio down 1 add specifically? why evisc here.
- late tea
- late sectech
cp overcap
- late sectech (debatable)
- late tea
- no strike for premed
this baffles me, why evisc?
late sectech
im starting to repeat myself and see the same things over and over. gonna stop the review here
Major issues:
- No sectech during dance or sectech outside of dance. This should *never *happen
- Late sectech during dance. Sectech is your 2nd finisher in dance, unless running tornado opener.
- Separate BP macro from dance. Do not hold one for the other
- Evisc instead of BP, unless there is an absolutely prio target, BP.
- Rupture spread looks really low, its overall damage can be much higher.
Not so major issues:
- Late tea, you want the tea bonus for most things in dance
- Crimson vial and defensive usage seem hella low. Rogue has utility and DR, use it.
okay that was unexpecedly much, let me read first lol
also thank you so much for it already
oh so rupture with tea is more worth then last BP with tea you say?
3rd finisher risks the clones not being "DM" buffed
you mean Danse Macabre?
Why would it risk not being buffed? and from what? from SD and Tea? it sould be 100% buffed, or what am I missing there?
6minutes? this was probably the boss, we pull some smallies into him
Or it was the treants before?
I often evis prio targets for our group
okay so my conclusion:
besides some obvious things which can be caused because I call alot in my team and we have to CC shit and stuff like that
I never use SecTec as the 2nd but as the 3rd finisher, because I didnt know that
--> Is SecTec 2nd finisher ALWAYS the thing, in ST as well as AoE? and could you explain to me why?
Tea too late ---> Would you ALWAYS use tea for the first rupture on the Nado AoE opener?
and also would you use Tea ALWAYS for the first finisher outside SD? (Being it Evis, or BP)
This opener I do sometimes if there is no need to rupture 2 more targets on my understanding
Like a bigger pull, but with some smallies like the blops right before first boss
I dont rupture the small ones, better just BP the 2 or 3 Treants right?
hmm thinking about it, maybe not since tea is only 6s. ok then it works if you're rupturing 1st
so sectech isn't an instant damage only spell.
initial hit
initial hit + 1s
initial hit + 1.3s
is its damage profile
by casting it late, with imperfect play you risk the last strike not being DM buffed.
and in the scenario of 3rd finisher, you risk strike 2 not being buffed either.
Okay I see, so its Just The more Safe Option
yes and no
yes because you want all of sectech to be buffed
And its more damage for 1 of the BP
no because there are other optimisations you need to think of
for example
vanish strike optimisation
in aoe, you can afford one tick more maybe
but in ST opener
you have this sequence
assuming 0 cp into dance:
dance, strike, evis, strike, (gb), sectech
this is the 'ideal' sequence
Maybe my problem is that I always Build 3-4 cps
Then I Dance, gloomblade, finish, build, sectec
What do you think?
this is perfectly fine
without taking tfd, going into dance with 3-4cp you should exactly the sequence you laid out
Yeah, that seems what Ive Been doing
The thing I realize myself Most is Not Pressing shadowstrike on AOE
now if you were to do this as 3rd finisher with not enough cp (remember, cp rules apply)
dance, strike, evis, strike, rupture, strike, (gb), sectech - you not only lose the DM buff possibly. But you're assuming each strike is perfect and gives you 6cp
so you're likely losing dmg because the CP is not enough
hence why 2nd finisher
remember that with dance, your first strike gives premed (snd + cp)
subsequent strikes rely on a crit
Yeah sure, Just Changing SecTec as 2nd finisher shouldnt be that Hard and Just helps, yes
see tea rules I linked you too in #subtlety
muscle memory to change takes time
yeah so tornado opener is very scripted for a reason. by doing double BP, you lose 1 DM stack.
And you vanish Strike Right After SecTec always? With nado and without
well yes and no
its a 0.2% optimisation, which I highly recommend.
BUT
vanish is a utility
save it if you know the encoutner has snares or other things you can keep vanish for
Because I always find myself Pressing nado and Ending up on 3 cp By Pressing that
What do I do then? Just BP and Storm BP again (Because Last BP then still is in Dance?)
theres 2 things here? nado and ending on 3CP?
somethings off if thats the case
Okay then Im missing something
because its nado, dance, rupture/evis, bp, sectech, bp, strike, bp
But cant you End up on 3 cp if you Vanish Strike on aoe?
ok so take vanish strike out of aoe
why would you end up with 3 CP if thats your first strike in AOE?
No First Strike
remember, premed gives 2 CP
But vanish shadowstrike
Hmm wtf then
Wait
I used Sectec as 3rd finisher again lol
but right after that you see I press vanish and shadowstrike
and land on 4 cps
I mean the fifth comes from autoattack after, but thats not always the case
im not following here. is this an aoe rotation, st rotation?
AoE
so run the sequence through with me of what you pressed
Stealth, SStrike, Storm, Rupture, Shadowblades, Nado, Dance, Symbols, Rupture, Tea, BP, BP, SecTec, Vanish/SStrike
lol thats why
SnD isn;t up
read premed talent requirements
Oh lol
But then
Wont it Never be up Then? Let me go try again
ooooooooooh
now I get it
if I rupture 1x its fucked
so I strictly have to rupture just 1 time and then INSTANT go for the Aoe opener
1 more time than needed*
sorta
its more like
snd not up? no cp for you boyo
I see
I just wanted to try, came back to my pc
shadowstriked the dummy and didnt get snd, wtf
yeah, i mean the reasoning here is you dont wanna hold your dance/sectech if its already ready
you rupture while grouping
and dance when mostly grouped
so you dont hold big cds
okay jesus christ wtf you only get SND if you dont teleport with shadowstrike?
is there some sort of known bug?
no reason you dont get it
I just got it with the teleport
it should be pretty fixed man
watch the clip 😄 wtf
okay I mean
atleast I know it now
but ye you helped a fuckton on that
realizing I only get cp if my snd is already up with premed
that explains a lot
I just rupture once after I get out of stealth and not twice and it should always work then
i mean, thats not your biggest problem rn
your biggest problem is the missing sectech casts and the late sectech casts
yeah, the sectec as 2nd finisher was noticed
sidebet if you raidbot dslice and compare the damageprofile to your reviewed profile
its off
okay I just wanted to try rupturing once
not twice
after I wrote you that
and I again didnt get SND after teleport
wtf is that
okay ppl saying it is bugged in outdoor content
so nvm then
I will highly emphasize on using sectec as 2nd finisher
the tea optimization we talked about:
you think its fine with what I'm doing or would you still use Tea at the very first finisher you use, with nado or without doesnt matter
