sap, cheap without breaking sap, wait for max energy, cheap, autos until cheap about to break, 5 point kidney, Hemo/Autos until kidney about to break but save energy (45 energy) for gouge, move in front and gouge, wait for energy ticks, blind, drop combat, sap, cheap, hemo hemo, 5 point kidney, hemo/autos until kidney about to break (save some energy here), vanish, cheap, prep, blind right before cheap ends, drop combat, sap, wait full energy, restart chain but vanish instead of blind after gouge.

Also you only sometimes get the 3 combo points from cheap and your kidneys will require an extra Hemo here and there to be 5 points. This can suck and ruin energy management but pvp in this game does have a lot of RNG

Macro for CS without breaking Sap:

/cast Cheap Shot

/cleartarget

/stopattack

this chain might not be 100%, i would have to log on and play around a bit but i remember this framework being a really long stunlock. I mainly did all my dueling in full T3 so some of this might be way easier with the energy gains from Hemo crits from the 4 set T3 bonus. Keep in mind that u have to buy time for the second kidney to be off CD so you must wait the whole gouge.

I never thought about sapping... that's sick. So, How do you know when to, not to hemo? I realize hemo is the main CP generator.

you gotta have energy left for the next stun after the current one expires. For example you need to save for that gouge. You also will at some point in this chain have enough damage down to pop 5 point cold blood evisc for the kill. This combo is about feel more than anything in my opinion, I dueled a ton before this felt natural to me. Also this is super idealized there are heartbeat stun breaks and mismanagement of energy you will experience 100%.

basic stunlock rotation is cheap shot, hemo, hemo, kidney, hemo if you can then blind. Then you sap them for around 5 seconds to reset stun diminishing returns then you do it all over again.

Or you can cheap shot, hemo, gouge then wait then kidney, hemo, hemo, blind. etc
