SCH dps in A1 Savage and how to improve.

[FoxyAreku]

Most scholars (myself included) purely dps on the first phase. Preys and general healing can and should be handled by the white mage. You don't heal at all in the first phase except for with your faerie.

After the split you can multidot if you find the time but you probably won't have the time.

I'm kinda surprised you're doing preys in the first phase, like, why? It takes a bit of practice but your white mage should be able to cover that pretty well.

Yeah i know, we tried me on pure dps in first phase but went back to me soloing preys. Cant quite remember why, but thats the decision that was made.

Also with multi dotting i find before the jumps is the only time i can do this O.o.

Well at least i dont seem to be doing anything wrong on the healing side of things .

From WHM PoV:

Phase 1 SCH DPS all the way except 2 GCDs (1 adlo per prey victim), the Adlo on the prey victim is not really required but it acts as a safety net in case I miscalculated a GCD.

Phase 2:
SCH can DPS all the way until Resin Bomb cast, but I recommend Indom/Succor once to assist in topping people up from the Gunnery Cannon damage that happened right after the casting of 3 Ton Missile.
Keep in mind there's a Royal Fount (the laser mini tank buster) directly after the Resin Bomb cast bar, so depending on the condition on your designated tank, you may have to exit Cleric 1~2 GCDs earlier.

Heal until Hyper Compression tank buster.

Resume DPS until after the Gunnery Cannon, and heal your designated tank up for the incoming Royal Fount.

Yeah forgot about the dots i throw out whilst waiting for resin bombs to go off .

And will try going into dps after gunenry cannon as well thanks .

Also i assume that the WHM covers most of the aoe healing in phase 2 then?

Try to get your WHM to handle the preys in P1, it will increase your dps quite a bit. I usually hit the split at about 650-700 DPS. After that I throw some DoTs on my oppressor, heal until just after the tank buster, then the WHM solo heals while I DPS until the jumps. Once the Oppressors land, I DoT up and rinse and repeat.
My dps is usually 350-400 in A1S, and we usually beat enrage by 10 or so seconds.

Though, if I'm honest, if you are that tight to enrage, I would suggest that your DPS and tanks are having more of an issue than you.

Cool thanks. Seems there are a few windows i can take advantage of to dps more .
