@white fjord hey, would there be a way to repost this or anything by chance?
white fjord
@tardy sierra @hasty sundial any chance either of you can look at it? My apologies this week 
hasty sundial

@vagrant atlas big thing for LoD is timing for vendetta. If you hold vendetta for swarm you'll have it for every single swarm after that, and dusk kinda scuffs that a bit
you're better off playing zoldyk's for lod
Looking at Rygelon, your rotation seems fine. No glaring issues, you got the basics down but looking at your first vendetta you're not taking advantage of the snapshotting of bleeds at the end of vendetta
you do waste some CP, but that shit happens sometimes just try to be mindful of it moving forward
don't prioritize refreshing CT in the vendetta window
make sure you maximize your pandemic in the vendetta window
besides that there isn't anything that jumps out as particularly wrong
another thing I'd recommend, is torrent before the garrote in your opener
it speeds up the opener significantly

I have the WA that tracks the pandemics. Sometimes I seem to need torrent and others don't. Trying to think what I'm missing to go from the 80ish parses to the 90s+

don't prioritize refreshing CT in the vendetta window
I don't think I was. did I let something drop? should I be envenom?
tardy sierra
it's kind of a feel thing
and a preference thing, if my snd is getting close to 20s for example I just envenom unless rupture needs to be refreshed
idk if you're using WAs that track the speed up from the 4pc but I would and just play around on the dummy getting an optimizer down that you're comfortable with
there's also a lot of things that can go into how well you maximize those windows, tank movement is a big thing
I tilted off of assassination for a while because my tank movement was stupid as fuck
vagrant atlas
hmmmmmm
I feel comfortable with sin compared to sub. I know my sub definitely had glaring issues.
I believe the one I has tracks the 4pc
tardy sierra
which one are you using?
tardy sierra
afenars?

Bumping up from high 70s/80s to 90s is just getting to know the mechanics timings and kill timers better and figuring out what you can do to maximize things on your end
and it's also taking things into perspective, your gear & your group & your group's strat vs people who go in strictly for parsing
if you're high blue parsing on harder fights, you're doing just fine tbh

@tardy sierra thanks for your time and review btw. I don't think I did yesterday. I greatly appreciate it.

@vagrant atlas On your heroic Ryg kill in particular:
- Dont hit the unstable cores (called cosmic cores in WCL for some reason) - they take no dmg. The mechanic is that you need to just stay in their range then get out right before they explode. Send globals into the boss here.
- Refreshing your garrote/rupture right before Vendetta ends and letting it tick down: I'm seeing sometimes you apply rupture right after your vendetta ends. Instead, you should be aggressively reapplying it right BEFORE vendetta ends so you have more time with a buffed rupture ticking down. See the FAQ with the cool image for a good explanation.
- During your cooldowns every minute~, make sure to cast Flag -> finisher -> MFD + finisher -> Vendetta. This way your first bleeds that you apply get buffed by the flag haste. ie, for your 3rd set of cooldowns at 2:46~, you just cast Flag -> Vend.
- Bleed uptimes: your garrote uptime on Rygelon is 90%, which is fine but you should aim closer to 95%~. Additionally your CT uptime is low at 57%. While its true CT is our lowest priority bleed, if we already have the other bleeds up and slice is running with a bunch of time left, make sure to reapply CT.

<@141619768607113216> On your heroic Ryg kill in particular:
1. Dont hit the uns...
- is it bad to toss garrote/rupture up after 1 hit/1 fok for the energy proc?
- I'll try to pay attention to that, I'm just using cev/apherna whatever's WA
- makes sense
- Copy that. tyty
humble ravine
1. is it bad to toss garrote/rupture up after 1 hit/1 fok for the energy proc?
...
- Yeah, don't worry about hitting those at all - the energy gain wont be worth the dmg you lose by not hitting the boss
- Yup, this WA is really good and will help the reapplication right before vendetta ends. But also, be careful not to override the empowered bleeds after vendetta is over. Eg. lets say your WA glowed and you re-applied rupture 1 sec before vendetta ended. Thats good, you will have 11~ additional seconds of empowered rupture on the target. However, now that vendetta is over, the WA goes back to normal pandemic rules and will start glowing when that buffed rupture is at 7~ seconds left. IGNORE THAT. Let the buffed rupture tick down to 0 sec then reapply. Hopefully that makes sense!
vagrant atlas
Can you elaborate on the letting it hit 0? That's definitely soemthing I'm probably messing up on
I never exactly understand the need to let the empowered drop vs a refresh
humble ravine
Sure - so if you press rupture when vendetta is up, its stronger than a normal rupture. This rupture stays strong even AFTER vendetta is over. So going back to the case above, lets say you reapplied rupture right before vendetta ends. If you go to refresh this, you will be overwriting this strong rupture with a weaker rupture (since vendetta is no longer up). Instead, you want to let this strong rupture run its course and do all its damage before putting a normal rupture back on.
In all other cases you can & should just listen to the weakaura
If it still doesn't make sense, maybe someone else can explain it better. otherwise just think about it a bit and hopefully it clicks 🙂
vagrant atlas
oh I get it. it's the optimal like.. final tick
like even if you refresh at 1, you're still missing that 1 second of a stronger rupture. ya?
humble ravine
Right, but the issue with the weakaura is that it will glow at 7 seconds when vendetta is over, even when the strong rupture is on, so if you blindly do what the WA says you will lose 7 seconds of that stronger rupture
