There's also a chart in the OP, I assume it's still valid:

In this chart, we can see all of the optimal places to use Blood for Blood. In order of highest PPS, you should use BFB before this skill:

1) Vorpal Thrust
2) Impulse Drive
3) Disembowel
4) Full Thrust
5) Chaos Thrust

---

Popping it before CT would be better, at least for me it usually comes off cd between CT-4th, so I hold it and pop between 4th-Phleb, which according to Dervy's math is the optimal place at that point in time

Skill Speed at 595, Recast is 2.41s.

Man, I'd hate it if it's really latency issue.

It's hard for me to do it, still not sure whether it's latency or whatnot, or maybe it's me >_>

Ichi's 30 Seconds into Adv. Dragoon Opener.

Things to note:
1. Did not use any kind of potions, in the real deal, I will, though.
2. Disembowel is clipped for a bit.
3. GK usage isn't as smooth as the one in Dervy's.
4. Battle Litany isn't in effect, despite the animation is already in motion.

I hope you guys can help me find the cause!

Hopefully this helps you.

Well, I'm already using wtfast, even in that recording, I guess it's a lost cause :(

Thanks for helping!

Check out the other link I sent. Leatrix Latency Fix. I swear by it. Whenever I do a fresh OS installation, its the first thing I do, haha.

Will do, Dervy! Thank you very much.

has anyone ever had problem of doing botd-> 3rd combo but then didnt get the 4th combo?

Yeah, tends to happen if I'm lagging. Generally it doesn't happen unless my internet is having a laugh.

Remove the ffxiv before http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/ and that's probably why :p

A1 numbers vary quite a bit due to groups killing the boss before vs after the third jump, which makes about a 150 dps difference. A2 I personally pull 300-400 depending on how quickly I get out of the walker near the end, and I'm pretty sure putting the DRG in there is fairly common, so I expect similar results from others.
