Thanks for all the benchmark videos! I am a new player and have a question about auto attack mashing: When exactly do you do it, and when do you let auto attack do its thing? I've noticed that you mash it after a skill, which I presume makes the auto attack begin faster than if you didn't press anything after the skill and waited for the game to automatically start the attack instead? But then you sonetimes keep mashing it during an auto attack chain, and other times you let auto attack do its thing. This is the part I dont understand. Also, does it matter if I mash the second skill in a queue instead of pressing it only once to queue it? Does it activate faster or no?
Hi! in general, as you pointed out, it can be worthwhile to give your character an AA input after skills to avoid aftercast shenanigans, on virt this matters mostly for dagger2. Regarding mashing AAs, in general you should let your character do its thing on weapons that have AA chains, on something like dagger it doesnt matter what you do, so in my case it was just the ADHD kicking in lol. And you can just press the skill you wanna queue once IF its offcd already - if its sth like spear5 into spear2 where its gonna be on cd up until spear5 finishes casting, you can also press and then hold the keybind for 2, just dont give your character any other skill input in the meantime
@@Mastro1363 That's actually quite relieving to hear because it means that there is no need to mash the auto attack button for efficiency reasons, correct? I do mash buttons to hit them as soon as the cooldown ends, but as long as I make the input once there is no benefit and thus no need to keep mashing it? Thanks for the last sentence by the way, I had no idea that spells in this game trigger if you make the input while they're recharging and then hold it. One question about a different topic: Which three classes are currently the most useful overall in endgame PvE content (strikes, raids, fractals)?
@@Ciferz "Which three classes are currently the most useful overall in endgame PvE content (strikes, raids, fractals)?" All are useful, pick your favorites.
What is the point of the Distortion cast? I haven't been able to figure it out. As far as I know it's zero damage contribution and you're casting it just after using the stacks on bladesong harmony. However you do it twice in almost the exact same spot in the rotation so it has to be something right?
It activates relic of fireworks, though you need to be point blank on the enemy for it to trigger. Bladesong harmony doesn't trigger fireworks because of its low cooldown.
I am playing main hand dagger with sword/focus is my prefrence since damage is good enaugh and its easy to use since I know to not use skill 4 on both, focus 4 pulls and sword 4 blocks one hit and trow cc, tried with spear but misclicks 3 on spear and 4 on sword becuze of spear does not matching with dagger/sword. I am playing more like condi vertuoso style but power.
on golem it will mess with your dps quite a bit simply because you wont be ending bench after a burst, but maths-wise it should be roughly 800 dps loss
dagger 2 and 3 are cracked skills, so is sword5 phantasm, and dagger AAs are infinitely better than gs, so yeah (plus not using gs allows you to swap to the trait in domination that buffs the damage of your illusions)
@@Wintah_ GS while it is good in terms of burst dmg and ranged attacks , it's sustained dmg is by far one of the worst. Ngl I prefer sword/focus + dagger/sword more than GS + dagger/sword since it also offers more utility (focus 4 and sword 2's blur plu I can keep 100% ferocity buff easily)
because on pvirt, every phantasm turns into a "phantasmal blade" after finishing its attack, which is a huge source of your damage, therefore its better to signet the skill that creates 2 phantasms rather than sword which only spawns one
awesome as always thank you

well well well

Do not suppose any new benches lately? Recall someone pulling 48k with power virt now.
not grinding benches rn, maybe in the future
If we dont move like you do, do we lose a lot of dps from spear 2? assuming the outer part of it hits hard i think?
on golem it will mess with your dps quite a bit simply because you wont be ending bench after a burst, but maths-wise it should be roughly 800 dps loss
Do you know what would change if i had to use this for htcm?
I will have to drop accuracy sigils for night?
@Mastro1363
🐐
can we request an action gameplay of this rotation senpai specially in fractals?
i rarely play fracs and when i do i play slb (plus i never record my gameplay in general tbh)
@@Mastro1363 I look forward to the day you would , thank you for guiding us newbies in our rotation journey 😍
Power mirage next!!
No.
@@Mastro1363 yes
I am surprised to see spear replace GS. I would have thought its gonna be GS/Spear because of the double phantasms 🤔
Mirror blade is horrid in groups prob why, dps loss when bounces to allies, plus offhand sword stacks ferocity with trait.
dagger 2 and 3 are cracked skills, so is sword5 phantasm, and dagger AAs are infinitely better than gs, so yeah (plus not using gs allows you to swap to the trait in domination that buffs the damage of your illusions)
@@Mastro1363 makes sense. Ty :)

why signet spear 4 if sword 5 does more damage? (after opener)

what's this video BGM? anyone can tell me? plz

@@bubby7250 tanks very much!
This is impressive and all, but what is your bench with a drawing tablet? 😂
next time someone seriously accuses me of macroing im gonna get a dance pad
@@Mastro1363 stop the macro abuse, start shipping
so is power better than condi?
Depends of the context. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Nice macro buddy
You can macro in this game?
Yes you can
why does your mantra not need recharging?
If you use it without 2 stacks, it will go on cooldown. Wait for 2 stacks and then use it.
since you play with macros, can you bench with a wii mote?
i guess you delay the second f1 to wait for fencer stacks?
That + the 2 AAs buy you time to guarantee that you will have 5 blades for that F1
Does Fencer's Finesse work with land spear?
Spear doesn't apply the buff but benefits from it
@@GweniswasntTaken how does it benefit from it? :O
Oh nvm I see what you mean now. It gets the benefit from sword.
You use the swordsman to apply it then spear benefits from the buff
Currently spear 4 is giving 2 FF stacks per use. The trait tooltip says underwater spears, so imo it's bugged.
Toodank
game name?
1) how the fuck did you get algorithm'd here
2) guild wars 2
