Hey guys. I'm setting up some weak auras for myself and i want to know the priority of the RtB buffs.
So far i know the cd reduction one is pretty much what we are fishing for, but what about the rest?
Hey guys. I'm setting up some weak auras for myself and i want to know the priority of the RtB buffs.
So far i know the cd reduction one is pretty much what we are fishing for, but what about the rest?
This is my general idea of it right now:
1. CD reduction with Adrenaline Rush off cooldown
2. Crit
3. Higher chance of free pistol shot
4. Energy regen
5. Extra combo points
6. CD reduction when Adrenaline Rush on cooldown
7. Attack Speed
Am i missing something or did you list some weird buffs?
1. Cd Reduction
2. Crit
3. Saber Slash
4. Attack speed
5. Combo Points
6. Energy Regen
Also if these where the right buffs:
CD reduction when adrenaline rush is in cd would certainly be the best one? It makes 0 sense having a cd reduction when adrenaline rush is ready to use.

You want to have Adrenaline Rush to activate when you roll a True Bearing because you spend twice as many combo points during Adrenaline Rush, making True bearing reduce twice as much. It puts the cooldown of Adrenaline Rush at about 0.5-1.5 minutes depending on if you got any other buffs on the roll. Outside of AR you will get only about a minute off of AR and if it comes up with <15 seconds remaining on TB then you won't get the full effect if you use it.
To explain the rest of the list
Crit- obvious, increases damage of everything
Pistol shot- with quick draw talented this is a pretty significant damage increase
Energy regen- self explanatory
More combo points- again, self explanatory
Cd reduction without AR on cd- reduces mark for death as well
Attack speed - leech does nothing in raid, and attack speed != haste
Do you fish for True bearing before you activate AR then?
Icy veins lists swords master over Quick draw atm.(i dont know where else to get any info). Is this wrong then?
Also if you have the crit buff, do u use Between the eyes instead of Run through(on the tooltips it would seem it does a lot more damage when it chrits then run through does)

I don't bother fishing for anything at this point outside of the pull. I'll pop marked for death and if I don't like the first roll, I'll build and re-roll. I pop ar on pull too.
I had sword master at first, and didn't really notice any difference. The buff for free proc a coupled with the damage boost seems much better.
I do use BtE with the crit buff, but only because I don't have class trinket
It not so much that you should fish for something in particular, just try to get a roll that's "good enough". Any 3 buff is good enough, and most 2 buffs as long as they aren't both low on the priority list. Keeping a 1 buff it needs to be true bearing if AR is off cooldown or coming off cooldown, or it needs to be the crit. I believe you are supposed to re-roll any of the other single buffs, I would be tempted to keep jolly roger though since it feels so strong to me.
I should also add that the artifact ability combos with true bearing in a way similar to AR, and in some cases it will get TB up in enough time to use Adrenaline rush for the second half of the TB buff.
Swordmaster and Quick Draw are very similar in terms of damage.

Looking at the rotation used for that simulation, it actually doesn't factor in the timing of adrenaline rush at all, it just uses it on cooldown and doesn't switch priority of TB based on it, so I'm not convinced its accurate. Its a spec thats pretty difficult to sim.
You don't delay AR for TB. You don't delay it at all, as is said above.
You use AR as a filler when you don't have a buff that speeds up resource gen(CP or energy). Now that doesn't mean you should delay it, it means if you happen to come up with a GM/TB/SiW combo and AR is there, use it to coast until you can get one of the other three buffs to prop up your resource gen.
You want a fast fast fast pace...+SiW.
As an example, my favorite combo is SiW+Broadsides+Buried Treasure, put in TB/GM for BT and it's just as potent. (6 proc is of course, the best)
Edit: it should also be noted that with SiW, i'm sitting at 86% crit...Let that sink in, there's never been a point in the game's history where a player could maintain 80%+ crit on all damage for minutes on end.

That's actually encouraging to hear, because it tells me that I can continue to play with this variation based on how it feels rather than doing something unpleasant for the sake of min-maxing.
When I first started fishing for SIW/3+/Etc I felt like it was way too much fishing, so I started running with Alacrity and MFD to try and smooth that out. I liked it a lot and it felt more natural to me.
