Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[Myon88]

How do you guys handle cooldown usage on A8S during the transition to the final justice/gavel phase?

The dilemma of course is that you have everything up for an opener level wildfire, but if you pop everything and then get chosen for regulators ~5 seconds later when he finishes casting final justice, you're pretty boned since you have nothing left and a useless wildfire ticking on the boss. I suppose you might be able to do it with just vanilla 1-2-3 weaponskills and your damage buffs still ticking, but it seems close - I haven't seen the phase enough to try it for myself.

On the other hand you can play it safe and wait I guess, but it's a DPS loss since you sit there twiddling your thumbs waiting for him to assign debuffs. If you get FP3 then you can do a proper opener, and if you get FP1 you just have to suck it up and use some cooldowns on the regulator.

Neither option feels particularly good to me though.
