I'm ready for my roasting.

[marsh horizon]

Lost 1 1/2 GCDs in Opener. When you use Beacon after first GCD you want it to be instant, otherwise use Bomb Dispenser first und Beacon after your first Dance with Symbols still active.

your first tea is to late. you can use your first charge with dance to buff sectec and eviscerate even more. after that use tea when you starve energy in st, but when you cap 3 charges use it with dance again. Also make sure you have no charges left at the end of a fight

you need to optimize uptime, here you lost 1 buffed eviscerate in dance(you run away and stand there for 2,5 second). also the last finisher before your second dance should be rupture here. otherwise you lose your finality buff

one of your biggest problems is uptime, also here you overcapped cps

you didnt finish with 5 cps at the end of your dance, so you overcapped and lost 1 big buffed evis

here again:

here delay your trinket after dance to profit from symbols crit again, furthermore you lost 3 cps because your last cast in dance was a shadwostrike and 1 buffed evis in dance

you never used sprint to optimize your uptime(run away later and get to the boss faster) also your delayed opener is hurting you at the end of the fight because you missed spells

furthermore you sometimes dont finish at 6 cp instead you use gloomblade again

Do you think macroing those together would be the worst thing? I don't think they will ever line up in an unfortunate situation later on in the fight. Sometimes I get a bit the lacking in the dexterity during the opener and it kind of slows me down.

[gusty heron]

I think I need to find a better bind for it for the same reason I'm talking about the trinket. I'm doing a bit of a finger dance and I forget stuff. Or its delayed

[gusty heron]

I'm not sure what happened here, I can't check right now, is it possible I was dropping a puddle?

I'm not arguing with you by the way, it's just that on outlaw I had pretty good parses, so I'm pretty familiar with uptime. Trying to figure out what I was doing.

Overlapping CPs happens sometimes I feel like with that talented that to generates energy and a combo point occasionally when you auto attack. Should I be playing around that talent? And just waiting for that CP to generate if it's about to proc?

[gusty heron]

That's a good point, I keep forgetting that I can finish at 5 at the end and not get a full cp finisher.

I think that's one of the biggest things I'm doing wrong. Trying to get the optimal combo points and dance and wasting a buffed eviscerate and energy.

You can have a seperate macro just for the opener with a strange keybind but i would not recommend to bind any trinkets to spells even bomb dispenser, its good for the beginning when you learn the spec but there are so many scenarios where a combined macro is just bad and you learn a bad habit. the only trinket i would recommend to bind to spells is anvil

[marsh horizon]

yes you dropped a puddle but you could optimize it. press sprint to run later to your position or not behind the ranges, dont know why so many guild dont put puddles for melees and ranges

you lost so many gcd in this fight and it hurts your dmg the most

[marsh horizon]

i posted only where you had 6 cps after your gloomblade and pressed gloomblade again, its just hectic while fighting to watch cps all the time. to your question you can play around the talent but its just a minor gain while you have other ways to improve your dps significant

[marsh horizon]

with dark brew and 6s dance you can even finish below 5 cps as your last finisher

[gusty heron]

I know on paper that is true, but I can't think of any situation where aside from the pull, macroing bomb dispenser to eviscerate and maybe delaying one beacon by 10 seconds once throughout a fight would be worse than missing casts because it was forgotten about. A lot of people I have spoken to have said that with that specific trinket, when they cast it manually sometimes they just flat out miss multiple uses. These were good players too.

I know for sure if I was playing perfectly it would be ideal.

[marsh horizon]

Magmorax has a average Killtime of 5,10-5,20 and with just one delay you lose a whole beacon cast which will hurt you more than to lose 1 bomb, thats my point, but like i said for the beginning its okay but with the trend to double on use, it would be optimally to learnt it now to use 2 trinkets with seperate keybinds

[gusty heron]

I do have a separate backup bins for odd situations

Bind*

But that's a good point.
