Hi everyone! I'm hoping the smarties in this thread can help with an A1S issue. I've been getting kicked from many groups for low dps on Oppressor. Here's what I know:

- My BLM has an eso weapon, body and ring. All other gear is 190.
- I use the rotation from Aikaal's BLM guide, especially for openers. I'm very comfortable with it.
- I use HQ x-int potions on my opener for fire IVx6.
- I currently use flint caviar for food buff.
- On Faust, I can parse 1200+ dps. On the first phase of Oppressor, my parse never reaches above 900. I'm using the exact same opening rotation.
- Most groups ask me to take an add during first phase if there is no SMN in the party.

Despite feeling like I am performing optimal rotations and having prioritized my gear, I'm confused as to why my dps is always so low on Oppressor in the first phase, where I'm the same turret as I am during Faust. (As a side note, I have been in parties where we've gotten Oppressor to 3% before enrage. Take that for what you will.)

Can anyone offer any advice? I feel like I'm out of ideas.
