__ echoing ER and snd SnD Bug Info__

  • So there is a bug where consuming an echoing Animacharged CP with BtE/Dispatch causes future snd Slice and Dice casts to be treated as 7 CP even if you actually cast it at 1-2 CP.
  • This means once the bug is active you can /cancelaura Slice and Dice /cast Slice and Dice spam to quickly rack up a lot of Restless Blades CDR at the cost of a dead global.
  • The bug cancels itself after using BtE/Dispatch again so it is hard to abuse in actual combat, it is mostly used precombat or as a way to fill forced downtime if you can time it correctly.
  • Lately people are activating this bug on trash or on dummies before a key, and abusing it to start the pull with 5+ buffs. You have to roll for rtb_tb True Bearing, then kir KIR it, then spam SnD to reset KIR cooldown so you can keep rolling and KIR-ing until you have 5+ buffs.
  • So yes that means a handful of KIR parses in the raid are inflated by people pre-stacking RTB buffs before the pull begins.
  • If you wish to use the bug precombat then you need to consume all 3 Animacps first or the bug cancels itself when ER comes back off cooldown. You also cannot consume the last Animacp with a Crackshot, or the automatic Dispatch will immediately cancel the bug.
  • We're not sure if it is a dps gain to actually spam SnD in the middle of combat. Warcraftlogs will also detect if you SnD spam during combat and invalidate your parse so you should probably avoid doing that.

The bug is not as big of a deal as it sounds because:

  • In keys, you can have 3-4 buffs before the first pull anyway, without using the bug.
  • Basically only in Rise/Fall is there enough forced downtime where it is potentially useful to activate during the key.
  • Having extra CDR during downtime only helps Adrenaline Rush uptime which is already high.
  • It takes a long time to roll your way to 6 buffs (3+ minutes?) and you would need to activate it on trash, so in the raid you would only see people do it on farm content, it's basically impossible for prog.
