your 2nd dance is really really delayed for some reason

[coral cipher]

hes playing tfd

[compact raptor]

oh

nvm

[coral cipher]

honestly log looks pretty good imo

[compact raptor]

i forgot that tech exists

[coral cipher]

tfd opener is solid, cold blood dance between flags is solid

not having predisorienting is pretty unfortunate, it makes a pretty significant difference when playing tfd and especially on shorter fights

[compact raptor]

this is a bit weird

then your last go is really scuffed

[coral cipher]

yeah if you're pushing for the symbols there you want to get most of the value before the knockback

[coral cipher]

the main reason to play this flag timing instead of the 3:20 one after the boss has moved is because kill time will grief you otherwise

you have to play a bit like a psycho to not drop globals during the walk over

[compact raptor]

oh thats why its scuffed

[coral cipher]

If your kill time is consistently around 4:20, you should hold that flag for 3:20 instead

or even 4:10

[worn umbra]

What is predisorienting?

[coral cipher]

you get 2 guaranteed unseen blade procs on your next 2 backstabs/ss after casting secret technique. they persist through death and last infinite time (only way to lose them is changing instances i believe, or logging out)

so if you cast sectec on some critters before a raid boss, you will have guaranteed 2 stacks of escalating blade before your first secret technique, so you will always proc coup around 8s into the fight

or if you know you're going to wipe, use cloak/evasion/everything to live to get a sectec off, then dont cast any builders

[molten root]

If your fight timer is below 04:30, trying to flag at 03:10 is a bit int, yes

[coral cipher]

well i flag there because we kill at 3:50ish

[worn umbra]

Oooohhh ok. I didnt even know that was a thing. I'm normally sorting the groups for a boss or doing MRT notes and markers and just get summoned

[coral cipher]

you risk losing some of the tail end of your flag

[molten root]

Yeah of course then it's a problem

[coral cipher]

if you're getting summoned, you can walk into the raid and sectec the bugs under the stairs

there are some through the other door towards rik as well

but yeah the log looks mostly fine other than the dropped globals during your 3min flag (very bad) and maybe the 1:58 symbols but i dont think that part is a huge issue

4:21 kill time is also real bad

[worn umbra]

We have a mix of alts and mains in our raids atm so kill times are gonna be a bit scuffed

Thank you for the feed back.
Glad i am on the right track

[coral cipher]

Kill the boss 30 seconds faster, have predisorienting, maybe proc more than 2 tier set stacks before your cb sectec in the opener and this is a strong log

but if 4:20 is your consistent kill time then def hold the 3min flag for after the move

[worn umbra]

i'm guessing sub is very sensitive with kill times to parse well with how bursty it is?
Also is 2 stacks procs in the opener, is this RNG or do you mean i dropped them by mistake?

[coral cipher]

yeah kill times are rather important due to how much damage is in your flag/blades windows. just truncating your log to the 3:51 mark like the r1 log causes you to gain 200k dps

and the tier set stacks are just rng yes

gamba tier set

[worn umbra]

That makes a lot of sense. Feels like im pumping some fights then i see its a blue parse.
I'm a DK main so you kinda just 2 button rotation most of the fight and parse high.

Thanks again for your help!
