It has nothing at all to do with the potions. If anything, that video is also a demonstration that potions timed properly shouldn't clip your GCD (or delay autoattacks for that matter).

Timed properly? How do you time it correctly? You should be mashing the potion while the animation for the current GCD is still going on.. There is no timed properly, it's more "Am I lagging or not?". Potions can and will clip you unless you have good latency.

Someone said they can't do the rotation 100% of the time at 388 SS, My rotation has the same issue, but I don't lose GL ever because I only use an X-potion, no poison potion. So I don't lose that fraction of a second. I put my ToD right after the PB. It's the Poison Potion that makes it risky at low SS.

Don't get me wrong, any significant amount lower than that and you /wont/ be hitting it at all on that refresh, 388 is pretty much the limit.

Yup, any less than that and it's not really possible, you'll need to get rid of the Touch of Death. I'm sitting at 385 SS and I don't lose GL3. Thats why I am saying its the poison pot, our rotations are pretty much the same GCD wise, except replacing Snaps and Demos, so we need roughly the same SS to make them work.

Depending on one's latency, potions can definitely clip into GCDs.

Guys, I hope you understand the meaning of the word "shouldn't"? It has a very different meaning from "won't" or "can't", two words I did not use in the post you are quoting. I am not at all making the ludicrous statement that would justify what you two are saying in response to my post.

The potions have nothing at all to do with why GL3 drops in Odowla's video, which itself shows zero clipping whatsoever due to potions. That's how it's supposed to happen, just like mudras are not supposed to lag out and make you do the wrong ninjutsu, and Jump is not supposed to clip your GCD with its (once upon a time) really, really long lock.

The reason that GL3 drops is because the third snap punch is activated 4.793s after the initial Demolish, has a short animation time that grants 12 seconds of GL3 at 5.626s, so the expiration time is at 17.626s, but Demolish is activated at 17.450s, which means the GL3 is saved, but Demolish also has a long animation time that grants 12 seconds of GL3 at 19.117s, meaning that GL3 is down for 1.667 seconds.

Sorry Sunny I am referring to the person who posted who said they were unable to do Odo's rotation and keep GL3.

The only thing that can make that not possible is the clipping of GCDs through the use of multiple potions. If Odo isn't clipping GCDs and getting the GL3, then its reasonable to look at the one thing that can slow the rotation down (the clipping of GCDs) as the cause.
