A7S war cooldowns

So in A7S my group runs only 1 melee, so I have to do the melee jails in phase 1 (and 6, only got to phase 6 once)

I save berserk for the melee jails.
The issue is the melee jail could be the first or second set. So if its the first set, I sit on berserk for a minute and 15s, if its the second set I have to sit on berserk for almost two and a half minutes.

I've sorted out what to do if the melee jail is first, but if its the second set I basically play super inefficiently, both in that phase and in cooldowns afterwards.
Just wondering if there is any war PoV for 1 melee groups, because all the PoVs I watched have 2 melee and the guy that didn't get the bomb goes into jail so they can do normal stuff.

Not 1 melee comp, but the warrior in the video does melee jails whenever he doesn't have to do white jails. Basically saving IR+Berserk, 3x fell cleaves queued up.

Here is what i figured out to be best if you have to do first\second and fifth\sixth cage sets as a WAR.

For first set, i use my berserk around 1 sec before the pull, that way i can get 2 FC, 2 combos and fracture in, not perfect, but what can you do. If you ll have to do second cage berserk will be of CD when you go in, for first it ll be on CD, but you ll have around 10 second of berserk, enough to setup 5 stacks and get 2 FC in zerk.

You ll never do 3th\4th purple cage as WAR since it happens at the same time as white cage, so feel free to setup berserks as you wish on those ones.

For 5th\6th cage i play absolutely safe, and start saving my berserk from around second cat phase. This far into the fight i dont really care about my DPS, since my group knows if we execute all mech's properly we wont get an enrage.

I think I'll give the pre berserk strat a go. I did that on A6 Blaster since I'm on mine duty but didn't think about that for A7 lol
