Optimised Shadow P2/3 Start - 1 Hammer

Works for both sides- but please read full description to understand the process.
With a non-thrall setup (veng/surge), having no thrall means that there is a chance that the head will turn middle on your long range shadow hit from the melee side safespot. This will occur if the head check after the long range hit occurs on an auto in olm's cycle- null or special will make it turn mage side. This phase start optimises the pattern.
East side 8:1 is cyclical in nature (40t- null or special proc will always happen after the long range hit)
West side 12:0 is not (60t- you will have to tank a hit every other cycle, or lose 1t and do a same tick attack instead of 1t before from melee line)

Hey, just wanted to clarify about the description - does doing this start prevent the head turning middle for non thrall setups?

[@coleboothman1158]

did notice when I'm running head with shadow this has happened a few times and was wondering why it occurs

[@TiptopSundae]

@@coleboothman1158 Yes, assuming shadow hits, it should prevent it. There’s a small explanation in the description for why it happens; basically if when you’re on mage side after the long range hit, if olm’s cycle is null/special it will check the past 8t to see if hand was hit, if it’s an auto, it’ll check the past 4t. Because the long range hit is 1t before olm turns, we need it to be a null/special when the head attempts the turn

@@TiptopSundae gotcha, thanks for the reply!

You start the mage hand with inq top and fer gloves on, is this an error from your side? Like a skill issue? Missclick? or is this what you meant to do ? You also tank some hits, are those on purpose?
Amazing video. Thank you for uploading this, i'm going to try this with my staff also

Tanking the first hit is on purpose, the rest is skill issue
