Yeah it works
- Always be sure to spend your Secret Technique's as your second spender in your Dance window. I'm seeing a bunch of them being sent outside of your dance window which is a massive dps loss.
- Vanishing to SS is good for dps if it's during a dance window to guarantee an extra evisc before the dance window ends but not as much outside of dance windows. So make sure your first vanish+SS is during your opening dance, and your second vanish+SS is in your second dance window.
- Send 1 Thistle Tea during your opener. It's a damage loss to ever be sitting on 3 stacks of TT so you always send 1 in the opener, and it doesn't affect you negatively in any way afterwards.
- On any fight that takes you out of melee range for some portions, I wouldn't really recommend using Shuriken Toss more than once or twice. It might generate you a few cp but it'll just drain your energy by the time you get back into melee if you send 3 or 4 of them before coming back into melee.
- Don't forget to send Pot in your opener as well, missing it hurts especially on fights where you can get 2 uses of it that you might miss by not using pot on opener.
- Use the Crit Phial btw (Iced Phial of Corrupting Rage). It's around 3k dps loss using the vers phial over it and it really doesn't do that much damage, it won't kill you on these fights. Especially good if you put points into Alchemy to make it do even less damage to yourself but regardless it should be a massive damage gain to use it.
Hello and thank you very much for your feedback. So if I understood correctly, then:
-
I hold secret technique and cold blood (if available) for dance only, outside of dance i am only eviscerating and rupturing yes? I feel that in aoe i diminish secret technique CD enough with black powder but in ST not so much
-
Vanish to SS only in dance, thats okay for me
-
Thistle tea popped 1 sec before pull with potion and shadow blades is ok for me
-
Shuriken toss only once to avoid capping otherwise im pooling yes?
-
I try to send pot 1 sec before action, i will be more alert on this one
-
I will change my flask, no problem
- Yep, only Secret Technique in Dance windows, regardless of whether it's ST or AoE.
- Don't pop the Thistle tea before pull since it only lasts for 5s. Pop it as you enter your Dance window so that it affects your first Evisc/Sectec.
- Shuriken toss useless unless capped on energy yep.
- Send pot a little later, like right before the first rupture.
Sorry for my slow reply, mid-raid.
No worries, I jus returned from work
thank you again for all the help. I will incorporate these to my notes and start trainingto execute htem more flawlessly
Can I just double check - All charges of thistle tea should be lined up with Shadow Dance? Or just the first and then I can pop it as I deplete my energy?
Also, I checked adn simmed - and iwth talent for 2sec longer dance I have higher DPS than with Planned execution so I would switch that is it ok?
Also, it is useful to spread Ruptures during shadow dance in AoE or should I purely focus on pumping out Evis/sectech?
Just the first Thistle Tea, the rest should be used to help with energy starvation throughout the rotation.
Switch until the sims tell you that Planned Execution does more dps I guess.
Regardless of talents, you should be spreading Rupture to every target that you think will live for longer than 12s in AoE. Dps loss to do it during the Dance window, so do it when Dance is down.
could I please ask for advice with vanish in my rotation? I understand vanish > SS, but I am not sure how can it make me fit more Evis when I am SSing in dance windows nevertheless
Because of Premeditation talent. Your SS coming from stealth (the vanish) will generate max cp guaranteed.
Since if your SS doesn't get you over 5cp then you can't evisc as the last gcd of your dance window. The vanish SS will guarantee max cp for the evisc.
ooooh I see, sorry Ididnt realize that
That's why the vanish during Dance is important! 
and man, thank you so so much, I already went up on ym overalls and getting better each hour
