SCH dps in A1 Savage and how to improve.
Hey guys, so its that wonderful time again with any progression raid team when everyone buckles up and improves their dps. But this time its with SCH, the joys.
So my raid group is downing A1S consistently now, but the enrage check is tight, like really tight. So we have been told that we all need to increase our dps, and here is me on SCH been given the figure of 300-350+ (iirc) to get and maintain in A1S Opressor. So i need help from you guys :).
General strat to give an idea of what we do, phase 1 i dps and solo deal with prays as SCH. Not difficult to do, obviously dealing with pray makes DPS drop. On split, we split into 2 groups, i have to heal one group with WAR as tank, WHM heals other, and we do tend to split fairly far apart. WAR is in deliverance a lot of the time, switching to defiance as prays go out. I deal with a pray, keep WAR alive (usually drops like a rock here) but also often find having to use all my lustrates in this phase due to haiving to lustrate other pray terget sometimes, and occasionally the PLD. Also going into prays most of the party is at 50% hp after the aoes have gone out from bosses, so on occasion indom has to be used by me to stabilise my group, that or some form of aoe healing from me (usually rely on whispering dawn ticks on first and third). So far in this strat i have found that i can often throw up my dots before the jumps and there are few other times that present themselves for me to be able to throw out dots whilst WAR is in deliverance.
And then its just rinse and repeat.
So my questions are how are other SCH managing to DPS amongst the mess that is the Opressor fight?
Can things be changed in the strat to facilitate more SCH dps?
It would also be interesting to know if SCH dps in your guys groups is that high as well?
Also raid composition is WAR/PLD/WHM/SCH/MNK/BRD/SMN/BLM.
Thanks in advance for the responses :).
