just two things i notice real quick. you should flag then rup and storm inbetween coups with blades

you sectec without dance here

Use this finisher in flag

I doubt this naked sectec is optimal

probably not optimal sectec in dance

[limpid garden]

So the right most circle in between a coup proc should be a storm cast?

This would be for a stack of DM?

[loud mulch]

correct with blades up you should always storm between coups to not waste unseen blade procs

!coup

command doesnt work here but in chat it will to explain

nexus king is a weird fight so i can see why you maybe have random symbols and sectecs but i would focus on playing a little more disciplined and you should be fine

Coup de Grace Optimizations:
Number 1: You can stop using finishers ~10 seconds before your Flagellation comes up. This is to build up Shadow Techniques for your cooldowns.
Number 2: ONLY with the 4 set of the new tier! -- During Shadow Blades, if you get the 4 set buff, you can use Shuriken Storm to not proc Unseen Blade before using your 2nd Coup.
Explanation: The Tier Set buff does not allow new applications of the Unseen Blades stacks, so any Unseen Blades procs between the 2 Coup casts would be wasted, this small adjustment prevents that from happening.

There were a few times where during the damage Amp where I'd have like ~5 seconds left on a SoD. If Shadow dance is down, would I use a cd of SoD despite the pandemic timer?

To my understanding with a proc of coup if I get the tier proc. I'd want to build only with Storm to NOT proc an unseen blade?

[loud mulch]

I would probably look at top logs to determine what they are doing with similar kill time. The fight is pretty dynamic so its hard to say

[loud mulch]

correct. to not waste the unseen blade. so it could go coup storm coup if you do not get the combo pooint reset. if you get combo point reset then just coup coup

[limpid garden]

And I 100% agree with playing in a more disciplined style. There's so many moving parts to this class that I knew I was missing something crucial.

[loud mulch]

sub is just very "rule" based follow the rules and do the dam but i'd say it looks like you've got it down just a few optimizations

[limpid garden]

Is there any buffs that I should keep in mind. Or any sort of knowledge to keep in mind when it comes to playing that fight?

Or would following the wowhead be good enough?

And I also wanted to ask if there's anything else that's glaring in my log that you noticed that I should adjust.

[loud mulch]

My advice would be to look at the top logs and play how they are playing it. I think the difference is going to be timings of cooldowns and the usage of dances/sod between cooldowns. you have the sequencing pretty much correct.

[loud mulch]

just all the small things i pointed out but again i think mainly on the fight to parse its going to be timings of cd usage. ie waiting for dmg amps etc. looking at top logs should give you a better idea

There werent any huge mistakes it looked like
