This is great gameplay. Im pretty seasoned(been playing for like 10 years lol). I have full condi infusions, and I understand the rotation. I’m only able to hit around 25k maintained in this fight. How important is the trap for dps? I think that is the only thing I might not be utilizing correctly. Further more, is it a big dps loss to be in spectre mode for longer than necessary?
I also don’t know if something changed. I’ve watched multiple videos of condi alac specters on dark AI hitting NUTS numbers, and mine doesn’t hit like that. Has it been nerfed ? Granted my groups aren’t as optimal as these ones, I’m a pretty good player so I’m not sure
I think specter got some dps nerfs (like -3k from the benchmark iirc) since I uploaded the video, but it is still the best condi alac dps for fractals imo. The Trap is like the only source of bleeding to trigger fractal relic or you change traits in trickery to deadly ambush and apply bleed through stealing. For 99cm, I would still run devourer venom instead of trap. And I'm not sure how big of a dps loss it is to stay longer in shroud than necessary, but it happens to me very often, that i stay longer in shroud, espescially on 100cm to garentee good alac uptime for the number/split phase
Any skill in shroud gives alacrity, even shroud1. You can see at the beginning that I spam shroud1 to give some alacrity before the boss is targetable.
