Wow....Did any of you read original post?
Yeah, casting a cd just after friction is easy. Yeah, with an optimal composition, the fight isn't hard. That's not my question.
The problem is about pug groups. They apply the strat that isn't hard for a good group, but is the most risky according to the fact that you don't know with who you are.
In pugs, it's often that :
- your offtank messes the pull on his add, and so is long to place the add, or : the WW happens before the jump.
- your dps are low : the WW happens before the jump
- your group is perfect : the WW happens after the jump.


So you can't just tell "double WW is shortly after friction" if you are in pug. It's either "shortly after friction if your dps is bad (or OT made dps bad), or shortly after jump if your group is fine". It's not a real risk in a static group, but in pug, you can easily wipe cause of this. So if you can minimize this risk in pug : what don't I do right? So if I understood well, rampart+foresight just after friction makes both buffs up even if garuda+suparna jump, and cd come back for every phase?

from my experience, you can predict wether suparna will WW without friction, when she derps with Slipstream, she will usually use WW before friction.

Usually, what I see is :
1) garuda uses Slipstream right away, immediatly followed by suparna. get ready for friction and pop a CD right after it. I also move to next tornado angle asap to avoid pre-wrap WW.

2) Suparna somehow doesn't use Slipstream before tornadoes come. You'll get WWed before friction comes. Pop a CD after 3-4 secs and pray for your healer to be on top level, it will hurt. running away after garuda's friction helps also.

3) if they wrap, you can avoid all damage more or less by going in an other angle, coming back, then CD and re go to an other corner. You'll get only Garuda's WW at max
