You are correct in the sense of it is mostly a problem with Assassination, that’s where I have most of my frustrations with auto tea.
Sub I do feel still has a bit of a problem with auto tea as in I can’t line up my tea and dances at the same time anymore and it throws off my Secret Technique rotation and it feels a little prevalent in PvP such as lining up as much burst as you can in a “full go cycle” because dance and technique get lower cooldowns by spending combo points it’d be nice to be able to trickle my tea for this use, It’s not the most important thing and pretty niche but I feel like it still helps enough to get used to doing.
You are also correct on Outlaw but I don’t think a lot of outlaw builds really even spec tea, and if they did I think auto tea is really really nice to have due to nothing really lines up with it properly and it’s just an extra 300 energy.
