just set-up wise, you still have some rank 4 blood gems

#

that's gonna suck

#

missing a couple hundred dps from that

honest bear
#

I see. I'm working on that but thank you, didn't realize that was a big one.

ionic rock
#

this is quite an opener

#

dance after the slice, then build in the dance to 5, flag -> rup -> symbols+blades then

#

I think one of the bigger issues though is cooldown usage

#

here's a vertical stack dance/flag/symbols

unknown.png
#

these 3 are especially bad

unknown.png
#

the first one is just flag between symbols

#

losing out on all that

#

it's also at 1:14

#

so while the symbols casts are pretty much on cooldown

#

you seem to be just holding flag or not syncing it with symbols or something

#

usually with obedience you can sync flag to every other symbols (holding symbols a couple seconds for that is fine)

#

so you get a flag every minute

#

and here it's like a flag every 1:20 maybe

#

that 4th flag to 5th flag is 3:49 to 5:17

#

basically the full 1:30

#

and then the next is 6:47

#

which is actually 1:30

#

so in order to fix those flag timings

#

lets look at what's happening when you cast it, and try and fix that

#

and the cooldown reduction should fall in line

#

so here for example, you finished before casting flag

unknown.png
#

which then left you generating

#

should always follow the rule of flag->finish

#

and symbols should be somewhere there, either before or after the finisher usually

#

then I think you held dance for the symbols

#

so you did some kind of pooling for 4 seconds

#

in the middle of flag

#

which is why you got no cdr

#

usually you want to have 2 dances ready for flag, or at least have the charges rolling through

#

it kind of lines up like that naturally

#

but I'll go over that later

#

I think there's some dance rules you're not following

#

this I think is like when the wheels fully are coming off

unknown.png
#

I'm not sure what went wrong here, but you cast dance, only used 3 out of your gcds of dance, the symbols came in halfway through into a rupture, then nothing for 6 seconds, and then the flag

#

just a lot of either not on the boss or panicking or something

#

I think the way that should have lined up

#

was probably slice, then backstabs for a bit, rupture

#

or flag -> rupture if it lined up

#

and then dance and symbols during the flag

#

but the same thing happened here where you flagged on low cp instead of flagging on high cp into a finisher directly

#

the fact that you didn't have dance for any part of the flag really hurts

unknown.png
#

this is like nightmare fuel

#

shouldn't ever see this many backstabs in a flag

#

this dance is good though

unknown.png
#

you missed a gcd because you clipped the dance right at the end of a gcd

#

but overall, that's actually good

#

one thing to note though, ideally you would want to do the rupture beforehand, then go into the dance

#

but I wouldn't worry about that too much right now

#

not too big of an issue

#

here for example it would've been great to slice before the dance instead of the evisc, and then evisc

unknown.png
#

but that's a great dance

#

....until the symbols comes in again in the middle of nowhere

unknown.png
#

I think you get the picture

#

so lets go over some rules

#

symbols:

  1. generally on cooldown, but hold it for flag if they're within a couple seconds
#

dance:

  1. if you're going to overcap on charges, dance
  2. if you're going into a symbols window, dance
    2.1. If it's a symbols + flag, don't be afraid to use a second dance, you'll have 1 charge back for the next symbols 30 seconds later
#

flag:

  1. flag on 5+ cp, into a finisher, every time
  2. only flag if you have symbols up
#

blades:

  1. blades with the next symbols
#

in theory that should get you into a rhythm of:
symbols + flag
symbols
symbols + flag
symbols
symbols + flag

#

every minute

#

I have to go eat dinner real quick, so I haven’t checked uptimes and overcapping on cp

#

So I’ll do that after

honest bear
#

Holy cow. Thank you so much for all of the invaluable analysis. I've learned more about how to properly play sub than in the last 6 months. Thank you again for you time!

Thank you so much once again! I really appreciate your time and knowledge.

@honest bear hey just walked to hook back on the cp and uptimes! You are overcapping a fair bit of cp on backstab, that shouldn't really happen ever, make sure you're finishing on 5. A shadow tech tracker might help as well, like this one https://wago.io/zKIJ0aQe1 so you don't backstab and get a proc at the same time

Shadow Techniques tracker - No every frame update

Simple WeakAura that tracks the number of swings you've done before the next Shadow Techniques proc. The WeakAura

#

your rupture and slice uptimes are also a little low, looking at about 85% uptimes on both, try and get those both to 95+

unknown.png
#

slice and rupture are both more important than eviscerate

#

you can refresh slice/rupture before going into a dance, like we discussed above

#

but if they're going to drop off, make sure you get them back up

#

pandemic timers really help with this

#

uh

@uncut storm

whatever

#

there ya go
