thats a big ouch
you need to start using a macro to not use backstab in dance
easiest way is to just
/cast dance
/cast strike
mortal summit
I have a macro that does backstab if not stealth and shadowstrike if stealth, I press dance and then immediately that macro. Am i accidentally doing backstab instead of shadowstrike even though the macro is showing shadowstrike?
boreal cradle
the problem is bar swapping
*stance swapping
it is slow so it assumes you are still otuside of dance
and sends backstab, even if not using a macro but bs/strike on the same key bind
the only solution is to use a macro, its a old issue that hasn't been fixed
you probably should have used dance later with symbols here, both after refreshing snd
the mentioned thing above is rly dominant
you basically have bs always as first gcd in dance, so rly recommend doing a macro
you did play flag incorrectly
you want to play it like:
flag-finish-cooldowns
using flag during dance is inefficient as you lose out on strike casts
what means you generate less combo points too
don't refresh rupture in dance, just let it drop off and apply it again after dance
as mentioned in the above, you did use dance to agressively
ideally you rotate it to have 2 charges around flag
you in this case only had one and even burned it before using flag
what makes is a lot harder for you to generate stacks
if you stard tance you will want to use strike, so rupture there is rly bad
also the same habbit of not lining up dance to symbols
in addition, you basically lost a lot of casts after the 4th one from probably the tank moving the boss
use step to prevent that
don't hessitate to use dance after symbols, you did wait here for no reason
and if your last flag was not good, this one was terrible
no cooldowns, no finisher around it
flag is your main cooldown, and you rly need to play around it to get vlaue from the covenant
same again
so basically lets talk about some basics, to round this up
you can basically see dance as a option that allows you to cast strike, so you want to always use it on low cp

Sorry, I was away from the computer
I just read them
Would I ever want to use anything other than shadowstrike after dance?
mortal summit
So I need one macro for dance + shadowstrike and another dance on my bar
boreal cradle
yes
or
you can do
/cast [stance:0]shadow dance; shadow strike
and then press the key 2 times
first one would send dance
2nd press strike
mortal summit
This one doesnt get affected by the stance changing bug?
mortal summit
Okay, thanks. Is there a way for me to prevent this chat thread of expiring or some how exporting this so that i can read this few more times?
boreal cradle
you can always read it, it just gets archived if it becomes inactive
mortal summit
I see. Thanks. You mentioned lets go over the basics?
boreal cradle
oh, sry to many chats open^^
you basically always want to dance with low combo points.
So that you can optimize the amount of strike casts in it.
So basically symbols on cd, align dance to it. Dance charges outside of that you can decide when to use.
easy rule of thumbs is to use dance when you are close to capping on charges.
Only time you delay symbols is basically for flag, when it comes up soon (within next 10 secs).
for flag, it is always flag-finish-cooldowns. So it is quite easy to play once you got that
rupture, you basically only refresh outside of dance and in preparation, if symbols of death comes up soon
most of the mistakes above should be fixed if you play that correctly
