[stable spear]

Thanks!

[viscid cypress]

[stable spear]

I think part of it is me trying to play very safe with mechanics, so if I got dashed, I kept the hell out of the raid

Until the orbs were gone

[viscid cypress]

may have to be patient, but someone will prolly take a look if they get the time

[stable spear]

That's fine! Thanks

[viscid cypress]

npnp

[stable spear]

I'm not really a mythic raider and I'm mostly being used as a fill in but I also don't want to sandbag the team

[modest drift]

Ahh hey

How’s it going

[stable spear]

Not bad! Yourself?

[modest drift]

Wel gonna take a look here real quick

[stable spear]

Thank you!

I thought I was playing it mostly alright but then I look at the parse and its just... oh, shit.

I know on that pull I didn't vanish -> improved garrote on last deathmark, the panic set in.

So thats one thing

[modest drift]

So it’s a few things

Your vanishing really early every time

Vanish should happen like

After your second shiv

[stable spear]

Oh, okay! I was under the assumption its vanish when garrote is in the pandemic window

[modest drift]

You’re also wasting a bit of energy so it’s just a “get to boss as quick as possible”

[modest drift]

We vanish for the MA bonus

Also for your racial

It’s 2m isn’t it

[stable spear]

Yeah, I did play that fight very safe. Like I said, if I got dashed I kept the hell out of raid until the orbs shot out

3m

[modest drift]

Oh also if you get dash on you, cloak immunes + you don’t get orbs after

But yeah honestly

It’s not that bad

[stable spear]

I wasn't sure if I should have popped it during 3rd kingsbane at 3 minutes or save it until the deathmark kingsbane thing

[modest drift]

Bad timing (almost new cd window + playing safe)

[modest drift]

1-3-6 then

[stable spear]

So, always do vanish garrote after second shiv regardless of pandemic timers?

[modest drift]

Mb

So if you need garrote before send garrote it’s fine

But your vanish is for master assassin kb ticks

[dark lodge]

Missing battle shout raid buff-wise, out of curiosity are you up to date on the severed strands buff? Can't tell from the log

[stable spear]

Yeah I was kind of terrified about fucking up the pull by a bad dash wipe or balls not going out in exactly the right spot

[modest drift]

Also yeah that was my next hit outside of play

Is the buff + missing warrior is a decent chunk

[stable spear]

I'm 1 buff behind, and yeah we figured out the battle shout thing

So I think I'm on... 14% and not 16%

...I also realised I had a talent wrong somehow but I've swapped that now. So that may help.

Didn't have forced induction and... yeah I have no clue how that happened but its fixed now!

[modest drift]

Good

The vanish is the major thing

Also your 3m kb you shiv’d late

[stable spear]

Normally when its just kingsbane and no deathmark I shiv -> kingsbane -> shiv when shiv expires, which I think is right?

Sorry if these are basic questions, as I said, I got drafted into a mythic raid team due to roster issues and I am very much out of my comfort zone.

[modest drift]

Yes that is how it works

And no you’re fine

Don’t apologize

Our job is to help

[stable spear]

Its appreciated!

[modest drift]

Your play is mostly fine

Cleaning up the vanishes is the major thing

[stable spear]

So if it looks like vanish is going to drop and its before second shiv, is it worth dropping an early garrote to keep it going?

[modest drift]

But also it helps when you’re not so panicked

[stable spear]

*looks like garrote is going to drop off

[modest drift]

Depends on time out

Like if you’re 2s left on garrote but 1s off from vanish

Obviously not

But closer to 6s until vanish? Yeah send it

[dark lodge]

also could've got in a 2nd potion but some of that is realizing when you're not going to get another kb in before the fight is over

[stable spear]

In my defence, on that fight that was the best pull we had and I was bricking myself thinking about not fucking it up!

But yeah, could have done a second potion

So something to keep in mind

[dark lodge]

makes sense, any time you have a new person in on kyveza and they don't kill everyone it's a win

[stable spear]

that was my focus, I may try to see if I can cloak when I get dashed next time for more uptime

Though I mostly used cloak on the last bit of intermission for safety purposes.

But I could save a feint for that bit and be fine I think?

Swapping cheat death for elusiveness would also help with the intermission but... I like my cheat death safety net sometimes

[dark lodge]

that fight's tricky because sometimes cheat just means you get executed by the boss anyway

[stable spear]

yeah, the execution was a pain. Sometimes I could get a cheat death proc and a healthstone to survive though

But yeah, thank you for the help! We're doing a princess reclear tomorrow so i'll try and play a little bit greedier damage wise and work on the vanish timings

[modest drift]

Oh @stable spear you got lucky and that sick but she executes on the fight within a second; so run elusiveness!

[stable spear]

I'll swap that out then, cheers!

[modest drift]

Good luck homie

[stable spear]

Thanks!

[modest drift]

You’re only going to improve from here

Very minor things!

[stable spear]

Thats a bit of a confidence boost, thanks!

[stable spear]

@modest drift @dark lodge thanks for the advice, got blue parse for my ilvl and thats with someone murdering me with orbs in the last 30 seconds!
