titan earrings are an alternative to allagan if you have accuracy, garuda ring is worse than both coil rings, and ifrit bracelet is better than allagan

Allagan Bracelets of Maiming BiS still.

Yeah I forgot those at first , but if you are starved for accuracy ifrit bracelets are a good substitute.

I don't know what magic tanks you have but doing that would get me into a lot of trouble with pretty much ever tank I have ever run into.

Our tanks are on auto pilot mode for threat even with this opening, they are slacking or under geared compared to you if this is pulling threat.

Bootshine auto crits in perfect balance now on every attack during the buff like how the other stance only moves work. A crit bootshine does more than a normal non crit true strike. Does this make using PB to burst with now better with true or bootshine? I think bootshine would win out in damage consistency imo.

[Butcherb0y]

At above. That is actually a good question. From behind with all the buffs up in crit, true vs boot, which is the highest dmg?

[Aeliott]

I'd guess True Strike if you have Internal Release up, otherwise Bootshine.

Before 2.1 on an opener I'd always do ST TOD IR BFB PB DK SPx3 DM which gives me my GL3. Does doing TRUE while in PB buff actually gives GL refresh or no? IF not then how about at start I do DK SNAKE DM PB DK TRUEx3 SP to get GL 3?

Greased Lightning stacks work the same in Perfect Balance as they do outside of it. You only get stacks from Snap Punch, Demolish, and Rockbreaker. So when doing combos with the buff up you have to be mindful of this or you can lose it.
