I got it

#

kk

#

The first thing here is that you're using flag wrong

#

you always want to flag->finish->symbols

#

but you used a finisher right before flag, which is less stacks

#

it also seems like you're having a lot of issues with perforated veins

#

you should aim to backstab after every dance

#

before going into the next one

#

but here you just went straight into the dance

#

and then you didn't use the stacks

#

in general there's a lot of dance->backstabs happening, which is not good

#

The main issue in my opinion though is your dance usage

#

your dance usage needs a lot of work

#

ripping 4 dances in a row right off the pull shows me that you're not holding a charge for symbols

#

which then gets you into massive trouble later

#

this for example is a big problem, where you cast symbols and then just backstab, but not only that, you refresh all of your maintenance buffs during it too

#

so lets go over the rules for each cooldown

#

to see how it's supposed to fit

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Okay so reloading more oftenly my dances between each one

#

And use it to refresh all buffs

#

Before rengaging into a dance

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

Symbols is on cooldown, every 30 seconds, very simple, it's the back-bone of the spec
Dance charges are used in two situations:

You are overcapping on charges soon (about 1.6-1.7 stacks)
You are casting symbols
If neither one of those are true, you do not dance

Flag needs to be cast at 5+ combo points.

#

because of unity, flag will line up with every other symbols

#

so you should get
opener
symbols (0:30)
flag+symbols (1:00)
symbols (1:30)
flag+symbols (2:00)

#

etc etc

#

so something like this for example

#

is SUPER bad

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

okay so always line up cd's together to be more efficient

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

that's the basics yeah

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

indigo birch so you should get opener symbols (0:30) flag+symbols (1:00) symbols (1:30) flag+...

Flag isnt 1.30 mins cd?

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

indigo birch 1. Symbols is on cooldown, every 30 seconds, very simple, it's the back-bone of ...

as long as you follow these ^ rules, you'll be okay. There's some other things to keep in mind ideally which are more min-max, for example you don't want to ever use rupture or slice and dice during a dance, so you refresh them beforehand

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

swift flame Flag isnt 1.30 mins cd?

unity reduces the cooldown

#

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:26 PM

#

Okay

#

Thanks a lot for those explanation. i'll work on that

#

just when should I use all my dances? Or should I always keep one

#

Should I always backstab between each?

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

you should try to always keep one, but you can use both dances during a flag

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

Okay

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

swift flame Should I always backstab between each?

yes, because you'll always have perforated stacks

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:31 PM

#

Okay

#

Thanks a lot for your advices

#

It will help me a lot I assume

indigo birch Jul 3, 2022, 10:32 PM

#

#

#

#

swift flame Jul 3, 2022, 10:36 PM
