As it seems we are almost certainly going to play with Infernal Cascade as our main potency conduit, we are going to have to adjust our combustion rotation so that we start the fight with x2 charges of ICascade as fast as possible.
To do this, we have to use combustion offgcd while casting our first fireball and then quickly fireblast two times :
Fireball <off-gcd combustion / fireblast /fireblast> pyroblast / pyroblast then we’re going back to base rotation
This adress a major issue in trinket use as we can’t use most of them off gcd on current build of retail Shadowlands and thus can’t use the usual macro for Combustion + On-use trinket.
I don’t remember how it was in previous extensions and if it is intentional, but it’s kinda hurting our gameplay to either have one more bind for a pyroblast/trinket macro or use the trinket as a prepotion which is a dps loss.
I was wondering how my fellow mages are adressing this / if it could be changed so that on-use trinkets can be casts off the global cooldown ?
Edit : not off gcd but while casting a spell (i.e like combustion or fireblast)
Yh but fire always wants a strong on use thinket to go with it. Be interesting when we get to Sire Dennis, he has a very strong trinket thats on use but not a buff for combustion.
(that is the simplified version, but all you need)
And i press it while casting the fireball and then right after fireball ends to get the trinket and that works fine.
If you wanna be completely optimal then binding your trinket seperately so you can use it right before the firball that leads to combust is a must, but i reckon it’s a really small difference.
