Double up - how to delay it ?

[Gorrok]

Hi all

I have noticed that my Bigand casts "Double up" on occasion when he is outside the range of the mob.
This happens alot on the pull especially if the mob is being pet pulled or have to run some distance.

Is there a way that i can Change "Double up" to only cast if the mob is withing a 5 meter range?

on another note, is there anyway for ogre bot to tell that a mob is facing away?
That way i can build a chain where i can use all my backstab CA's and keep them out of the general pool of CA's i use.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Add it as a Pre-cast to something short range.

Don't go building chains though, as they aren't in V17. If you are messing with profiles, you may wish to consider to upgrade to V17 beforehand.

I have not played with v17 but if chains disappear how do you get the move out of things like Double-up / timewarp / VC and some buffs that require the BIG guns CA's to be available?

Short answer is you don't. Although, you can do some stuff with pre / post cast to try and hack it together.

Overall, the added flexibility you get by being able to put all abilities in one tab in the exact priority you want them outweighs the bit of DPS you lose from chains. Just betray your assassin to ranger all the cool kids are doing it.

When you say hacking together with Pre and Post cast, does that mean i can take the 6 or 7 items that i was going to cast after Double UP and make each one the post cast of the other ?

Would you be able to do something like
DOM pre-cast to Double Up / Cornered post cast to Double up/Dispatch post cast to Cornered and so on with the rest /Debilitate/Rake/Blinding Dust/Sin Strike/Back Stab/Shank/Bum Rush

Plenty of ways round it.

HP Debuff -> Post Cast DoM
Precast Double Up <---- Cornerned ----> Post cast double up
Precast Debilitate <--- Blinding Dust ----> Post cast Rake

Plenty of ways round it, but then all the brigand 'chain' have the exact same reuse basically I thought, so hardly an issue anyway, just order them in list and have 100% reuse.
