Question about improving my rotation (nightblade)

Kind of new to this and am reading over someone elses rotation and they list (Bow Proc) throughout it. What exactly does this mean?

I'm wearing Selene, Relequin, and Advaning with axe and dagger... currently using the Alcast rotation hitting between 43k and 45k on the 3mil but can't see to go any higher. So I'm trying to better understand how everything works in order to get higher resultes.

    Go dual daggers
    Try switching to veledreth

    Are you sure you're light attacking between every skill and bar swap?

    What mundas you using and what is your CP total and set up in the blue tree?

    Are you using pots? What food?

    Also since you seem to have a good handle on your rotation at this point, you should now be parsing on thr 6M dummy to see how your sustaining stam and AY and rele stacks

    I am on my phone atm so can't check your CP setup.

    But the first glaring thing is you should be using weapon power pots. You're a stamblade. Spell power pots are for mag characters.

    The bow proc is probably from relentless focus

    Relentless focus is a nightblade skill.
    You hit the skill then after you do 5 light attacks through your rotation, the proc (the skill is charged) is ready. You'll see the icon on the skill bar change appearance. You hit the skill then to send the proc (bow proc) off. Then you need to activate the skill again, do 5 light attacks, etc etc repeat

    Here is the rotation I'm using on the 3mil...

    Prebuff with Relentless Focus and Piercing Mark.

    Arrow Barrage > LA >Barbed Trap > LA > Poison Injection > LA > Weapon Swap

    Rapid Strikes > LA > Rending Slashes > LA > Soul Splitting Trap > LA > 4x Rapid Strikes (With Light Attacks) > Weapon Swap

    Restart

    When use use the Spectral Bow Proc, only do 3x Rapid Strikes instead of 4x.
    When you use the Ultimate on the back bar, only do 3x Rapid Strikes instead of 4x.
    Start using Killer’s Blade execute ability at 25%, do not reapply Rending, Dark Shades and Bow Proc anymore in execute, that way you can spam more Killer’s Blade.

    Any advice on how to improve on this.

    Wearing...

    Velidrith, Relequin, and Advaning with axe and dagger.. hitting between 43k and 45k on the 3mil but can't see to go any higher. So I'm trying to better understand how everything works in order to get higher resultes.

    Rapid Strikes works better when you are using VMA daggers / VMA dagger and axe
