I think Hak is playing a different game than the rest of us lol

Seriously, tho, I can't figure out how to get that many lasers off. May have a bit to do with how our tanks position them, I do too much running around I think. They use tempered/holmgang for second wash away, hold them in the middle (which is enough time to IDC one of them) then drag apart for closed fist, so I follow the MT, once parting casts they converge back in the middle about the time Digi/Equal cast, so I only have time to start hitting the higher one. I asked to see if they can separate them a bit more because GK will hit both if I use it there, but they weren't able to move them enough for it not to clip the other one. From the second wash away to Equal is done I get 1 GK (during parting), with an opportunity for one or 2 more at most during Equal if I disregarded the incidental damage.

Whiskey, Make the tanks pull them away first, force a hand clap then keep them stacked until the next change which will be fist. Always consistent, most uptime for melees and the most optimal way to get them stacked for long periods. I get 3 laser before hand form, 1 laser during that next b4b, then 4-5 on double hands, the 5th one really depends on how my rotation goes after the Equal and if I dont screw up my elusive jump, sometimes I don't get the 5th one.

@Hak that's pretty impressive how you're pulling off 5 lasers during double hand phase. I'm not sure I understand correctly, but by 5 you mean 5 all throughout the double hand phase right? So you only get 2/3 during the burn phase? Because I reckon that would be totally impossible to pull of 5 during burn phase lol

Thanks, Hak. We got a new tank this week and that was his suggested strat but the other tank was used to this way so that's what we did. It makes more sense to force the clap instead of the fist, and if this tank sticks around next week he'll be on DRK instead and we'll have to do it that way regardless I think (they don't have a knockback cd?).

Orlandeu- It didn't seem like you could get that many at first glance, but it's ~120 second phase? Theoretical max should be 5 or 6. Really amazing stuff there xD

@whiskey at first I thought that 5 laser thing was only during burn phase.

Its from the time the first hand clap is forced, throughout the rest of that phase.

lolol 5 geirskoguls a minute at high skill speeds by dropping PH mostly

i wonder if this even has any use beyond novelty

Is that in response to me? Because I don't drop PH.

nah, not really related, just experimented with the idea jack fross brought up a page ago and made a video. was going to edit in a link after it uploaded
