As per patch 6.3, curing waltz and shield samba can be used during standard step and technical step. Keep in mind this will clip your gcd so its mostly useful during down time when youre preparing your dance.

Can I also just say how absolutely lovely it is to have the refreshing classical music in the background and with an appropriate volume? I struggle so much with certain videos because the bg music is often so distracting, busy, loud, or harsh.

Man, the way you broke this down made the Dancer way more approachable. Thank you!

this has mad sense of so many things! thank you so much!

Seriously the best guide I've seen on how to play a job. Straight forward and clear. The classical music is a fantastic addition to have in the background.

Gotta say I played dancer before hand which made understanding most of this quite matching to my own deductions, but i still learned from it, good job!

Nice music, nice voice and nice guide!

Thanks looks easy and fun

first of all, I really love your guides, they are super chill and appropriately indepth while being approachable :3. Icy veins text guides have your guides linked, I was curious if you also wrote/were involved in making those too? Thats how i found u

If I'm < 20 seconds out from my 2 minute burst window and cap on my Esprit/Feathers, is it best to hold off on Saber Dance and Fan Dance for the burst window or continue to use them at cap as usual?

@Juliacare

Жыл бұрын

Continue to use just before cap as usual

I got a question, I know it’s been a year so I don’t know if anyone will respond, but with flourish can I technically use that twice because it’s a 60 sec cooldown and tech step is 120 sec cooldown, so could I weave flourish in once I’ve finished the second standard step while tech step is halfway through cooldown?

@Juliacare

3 ай бұрын

Yes, you use it on cooldown. So with technical finish and once inbetween each usage.

For the reopener you mentioned holding standard to properly align technical step. Would it be a dps gain to always use standard after technical?

@Juliacare

Usually for a reopener you prep SS and then go into tech. Using standard after teach is only a gain if you do not have any procs or saberdances to spend

i have a question. lets say im about to reach the 2 minute burst window and my technical step is about to be up to use (8 secs before its up) i do the burst window and then after that i use standard step? Another question.... if i have for example fountainfall, reverse cascade and saber dance available to use and i need to use technical step for the 2 minute burst window... should i delay the usage for them to use technical step? Ive been struggling a lot to increase my parse and im trying to get better. Thanks for this guide i appreciate it =)

Yea as long as technical doesnt drift you still send SS Yes so long you dont overcap or overwrite them Good luck! You can do it

I'm not really getting why wouldn't you use Flourish after the first standard finish and then go to technical step cause I don't think it clips anything if you do? Am I wrong here?

@Juliacare

Жыл бұрын

It has to do with ping. You can only flourish when in combat so you would need to weave it after SS hits in your prepull. A lot of people clip Tech because of this which is pretty bad as it misaligns your buffs. If you can pull it off without clipping or losing proc’s then by all means you are free to do it, it could net you one extra usage if you have a kill time around x:07.

why not use saber dance at 50 gauge, why hold it to 80 gauge???

@Juliacare

4 ай бұрын

This is due to your buffs. You want high potency actions such as saber dance to be used as much as possible within devilment and technical finish. 80 esprit is the point until we can hold without risking overcap which is why we prefer holding until 80 to have a higher chance of having esprit going into buffs. If you spend at 50 you might not get a lot for esprit back before the buffs and thus have a less powerful burst. Spending at 80 guarentees you have atleast 30 left still.

Was curious about the hotbar buttons you use in the video. Is there any reason/advantage to arrange the ability/weaponskills in this way (e.g. is it more intuitive to press)?
