Instead of replies like this, can we get more along the lines of Ooshima's, please? We don't need to pitchfork any and every sub optimal opener. What exactly do you do? I'm curious :)

i would like to see the parse detailed and a video of that happening. very much interested on what hes doing diferent, although the trash talk is unnecessary, im always willing to learn new tricks.

Come to Phoenix, KrietoR. Rather than a video, I believe seeing it for yourself would be better. You can also tune in on streams on the Tranquility website. We usually raid on Tuesdays roughly around 10:00 pm ST.

im not saying that i dont believe you, i would really like to have an ACT parse and a video of him playing. You can make an highlight of the stream and post it here. just to see if he knows something that we dont.

Can I ask why repelling shot should be part of the "optimal" rotation and not something used during emergencies?

You don't see the upside to free damage? What emergencies? If you want to save it for an emergency, save it. Not many fights where that applies.

I can confirm it doesn't matter if you pop pot or hawk's eye first. I tested a few weeks back and ended up with 754 dex in both scenarios(starting at 572 dex). It should be noted though that the +15% dex bonus from hawk's eye actually includes the +84 from the xpot. That is why it is crucial having your Hawk's eye cover the full duration of your pot. From OP's rotation as what user Ooshima stated earlier on, he is losing the full benefit of hawk's eye and xpot put together. It might not sound like a lot(roughly 12-13 dex if you take 15% of 84), but if we are talking optimal openers this should explain why it is not a good idea using hawk's eye pre-pull and using xpot towards the end of your rotation.
