    Yep. And True Strike being from behind is much more important than before.

    Optimally you would of done this anyway before 2.1 so its not really a change that effects anything you did if you played optimally before

    If you have GL3 up and want to use PB you can just use True Strike through out it as well, assuming Twin Strikes buff and Dragon Kick debuff are up. But, yeah, it is essentially the same rotation as before.

    Yeah, if you were using True Strike before anyway then nothing much has changed. Demolish to rear...also Bootshine is a more reliable combo opener for being same potency as Dragon Kick from any angle. Saves you trying to shuffle around to flank before starting.

    I think the fact that you apply a dot (maybe 2) and do True Strike is a significant change.
    This means you don't fall back to Flank rotation every time you apply your dots.

    So....

    So just Get Dragon Kick and Twin Snakes defbuffs maintained , and Spam Bootsine -> True Streke -> Snap Punch from behind or dancing? while also maintaining Demolish/Touch Of Death/Fracture

    I start with touch of death, then dragon kick, twin snakes, demolish, fracture, bootshine, true strike, then snap punch, repeat minus the ToD

    As I gain GL stacks I throw my ToD refreshers, howling fist, or impulse drives before the demolish/fracture so I don't clip the dots.

    This seems to line up perfectly as all the buff timers end as I reapply. Not sure if this is the norm rotation but it seems to be the most fluid.
