### 🎇 Last update : 07/05/2020 .0

* Fix a bug where you couldn't use Trip Wire (KD) in Overcharge

---

:::info
:bulb: Message me on discord if you have any question, parses (with and without my addon) to give me, etc : `Yberion#8721`.
:::

:::danger
:mega: Seems not to work using BnS Buddy, you better use bnspatch until I fix it (which is idk when).

You shouldn't use this addon on autocombat.
:::

## 🗲 General

There is 2 versions :

* The **normal** one
* The one that **autocast Charge** (0 - 4 stacks)

:::info
:bulb: You want to remove/move all your existing Force Master Lightning addons/xml before using this one.
:::

:::warning
:warning: You have to use ``bnspatch`` from pilao **if you want to use addons** now (`.patch`), check this discord (`Mod Police`) : https://discord.gg/JK7QyWG

Go to the channel ``basic-info`` and click :ok: under "Accept" to be able to see others channels. You can also react to the message below to get updates about ``bnspatch``.

Then check the channel ``bnspatch``, everything is explained and you can also check the channel ``guides``.

:::danger
:mega: Read carefully please.

🎇 ~~**If YOU ARE USING `remove-skill-ui-effects.xml`** (check your ``Documents\BnS\patches`` folder) you want to use :~~

* ~~FM_SimpleMode_Lightning_**WITHOUT_ui_effect_WITHOUT_Autocast_Charge**.patch~~
* ~~**OR**~~
* ~~FM_SimpleMode_Lightning_**WITHOUT_ui_effect_WITH_Autocast_Charge**.patch~~

Addons (`.patch`) are applied before patches (`.xml`) so this one isn't relevent anymore.

---

🎇 **(Probably this version) If YOU ARE -->NOT<-- USING `remove-skill-ui-effects.xml`** (be sure to **not** have it in ``Documents\BnS\patches``) then you want to use :

* FM_SimpleMode_Lightning_**WITH_ui_effect_WITHOUT_Autocast_Charge**.patch
* **OR**
* FM_SimpleMode_Lightning_**WITH_ui_effect_WITH_Autocast_Charge**.patch

### If you want to know more about the `autocast version`, check [this video](https://hackmd.io/O0YUxikESaaPOgXr0XuDWA?both#%F0%9F%8E%87-Autocast-Charge-0---4-stacks-overview).

I also made the [basic rotation](https://hackmd.io/O0YUxikESaaPOgXr0XuDWA?both#%F0%9F%8E%87-Basic-rotation) video as well as the [opener video](https://hackmd.io/O0YUxikESaaPOgXr0XuDWA?both#%F0%9F%8E%87-Opener) with the autocast version.

They are addons, so you have to put one of them in ``Documents\BnS\addons``.

## 🗲 Decision making regarding rebinds and autocasts (Without Autocast Charge (0 - 4 stacks) changes)

:::info
:bulb: You don't really have to read all of this, just test it if you want to check all changes and check videos + screens above.
:::

I put **Charge** (0 - 4) on (LMB) so we can reset the timer of the 4 charges.
You can go in **Overchage** and **Stormborn** with (F).

I moved all long cooldown skills on (B).

why (B) ?

Because I want to prevent accident of macro pressing (4) when dead, also, I prefer to have long cooldown skills such as **Electrocute** and **Magnetize** on a separated key than **Palm** and **Zap** (RMB) so they can properly cast in parallele. It's also better to have least key in the macro.

I removed skills that were in the simple mode from the skill bar, this way I can rebind easier with free slots.

I put **Storm Shroud** (Block) on (Z) and (2).

On (Z) there is **Divine Veil**, so you only have one key to press two time to cast it and same for (2), there is **Lightning Sheath**.

**Trip Wire** (KD) is now on (4) because it was a free slot and it doesn't hide **Lightning Storm** in case you want to use it (weapon reset or whatever). It hide **Volt Salvo** in **Overcharge** but this is the correct behavior, the autocast cancel **Storm Shroud** and we don't want that.

**Volt Salvo** is autocasted from (4) and when you use **Storm Shroud** the autocast stops during the 1,5 seconds of **Storm Shroud**.

**Lightning Strike**, **Lightning Storm** and **Magnetize** are autocasted in **Stormborn**.

**Lightning Strike** and **Magnetize** are autocasted first followed by **Lightning Storm** after the GCD.

**Lightning Storm** is on (C) and **Ultrashock** on (V) in **Stormborn**.

The only down side of this autocast is if you have a weapon reset during **Stormborn**, you won't benefit of **Thundercloud**'s buff.

**Storm Warp** is now on (E) and is only the forward version (I can put back the original behavior on (E) as well if needed). It got moved in case you want to macro **Charge** (0 - 4 stacks) from (LMB).

**Storm Wrath** is now on (B) in **Stormborn** so we keep the same macro keys.

I added **Zap** and **Awakened Zap** in **Stormborn** on (B) before **Storm Wrath** to have proper ratio of **Zap**/s (so there's **Zap** on (RMB) (simple mode key) AND (B)).

**Equalize** (KD) is now on (4).

## 🗲 Talents

Only tested : 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1

## 🗲 Disable

You have to disable those skills :

* Glacier (B)
* Pulse Break (Z)
* High Voltage (C)
* Spark Up (C)

## 🗲 Macros

:::warning
:warning: You better use a macro along with the simple mode modification to have proper ratios.
:::

:::info
:bulb: Those letters are Keys.
T = RMB, the simple mode key.
:::

* TB

If you don't want to Charge manually and you're not using the autocast of Charge (0 - 4 stacks) version you want to have 2 macros :

* TB
* TB LMB

The second one is used to Charge (0 - 4 stacks) during the rotation.

:::info
:bulb: You can also put a second key that trigger LMB, for example R or Y and then macro TBY.
:::

You can also macro until you're in Stormborn, this way you want to macro :

* TBF

If you're using the autocast of Charge (0 - 4) version :

* TB

## 🗲 Rotation

Basically my rotation is :

Normal -> Overcharge -> **Stormborn** -> Normal -> Overcharge -> Normal *(wait so the cooldown of Stormborn is 4 seconds)* -> Overcharge -> **Stormborn** -> ...

### 🎇 Normal

Nothing except if you're going to have a weapon reset before going in Overcharge, then you want to use everything before that weapon reset so you can recast in Overcharge.

### 🎇 Overcharge

You always want to keep a (C) before going in Stormborn.

C -> V -> Stormborn

Or if you have the second (C) after using (C) -> (X) and didn't have a weapon reset :

C -> Stormborn

### 🎇 Stormborn

Ultrashock (V) at the end of Stormborn.

:::info
:bulb: Hold the key (V) until the skill is casted if you're using the Autocast Charge (0 - 4 stacks) version.
:::

:::info
:bulb: Changes based on the version above.

* Autocast Charge (0 - 4 stacks) from (V)
