(Got 4/4 yesterday, probably lots of mistakes managing everything during vendetta)

So it looks quite good overall and nothing super major. You need to look into managing garrote a bit better during the Vendetta windows, you never want to let it drop during Vendetta, but you want to reapply the bleed before Vendetta ends.

That's done by using garrote at 6-8s before Vend ends, so you'll have it ready for 1-2s before Vendetta ends.

You want to sync your Shiv with your Vend/Flag combo everytime. I attached a picture of how the cd usage should look like (the stacked pillar with all cds at the same time) vs what you died on the last 2 full Vendettas (Shiv too early or too late)

#

#

As you can see from this image, you used cds very well on the second Vendetta where you stacked everything together. For the third one you held Shiv after your second Vendetta for some reason, which ended up you using it just before Vendetta came off cooldown so you didn't get full value out of it during the Vendetta. On the third one you just didn't press Shiv at all for whatever reason and held it for after the vend.

#

So you press Shiv with Flag/Vend, then you press Shiv right after Vend again.

#

After this you hold Shiv until Vend/Flag comes back up, then you press them all together again

#

Then when Shiv comes off cd, you press it instantly again

#

and then hold

#

It's a cycle of "Hold - Send - Hold - Send"

#

I would recommend that you vanish right after Shiv instead of holding it. I also don't understand why you held your potion for 4 minutes and then used it without cooldowns when spamming FoK on adds. Just use your potion with your cooldowns during lust

#

With the 4p it's so so important to stack every single cooldown/potion/lust together as possible. I would also recommend looking into getting a Sigil of the First Ones or IQD to further push the burst.

I believe the 1 time my vendetta window I didn't cadt shiv at all was bcs I had a bomb, had to get out, clean and wait for the debuff to pass, scuffed 10 seconds and since I was getting overwhelmed for some reason, I might have just forgotten dead

#

So having sigil for BL is amazing for stacking buffs, garrote 7 secs before vendetta falls off to re, hold shiv a bit more so it can line with cds...

Yeah that's why Rygelon is a bit of a hard boss to analyze because there's quite a few things going on.

One question that might have been asked 1000 times: during vendetta, do I prioritize having snd up or ct? (If rupture and Garr are fine)

Yep that's pretty much it. Use potion on opener with cds (or with lust if you lust later on in the fight on some fights)

Always SND

#

CT is the only buff/bleed that can drop

#

You maintain garrote/rupture/snd at all times

#

Okay good to know bcs I was focusing ct a bit much yesterday

#

Aight I'll be more aware now in future kills mister cev, thanks for your time once again
