To begin with whoever the BRD is gonna burst needs to have both Wind bite and Venom Bite applied on him otherwise the Sidewinder in the burst is completely wasted. If you wanna know a burst is coming by viewing just his buffs look for Hawk's Eye not Raging Strikes. Raging Strikes has a 2 min recast so some BRDs will only have it up every other burst unless they specifically wait the extra 30 seconds for it to come up. No BRD however will EVER attempt to burst without Hawk's Eye and Barrage up. Both are 90 sec cooldown. B4B is also a gigantic red flag that a burst is coming since that buff needs to be taken off immediately after the burst else the BRD will get wrecked because of the 25% dmg taken (therefore you will only ever see it used in a burst). Barrage up also ALWAYS means Empyreal Arrow is coming. Since the BRD is on WM stance when they burst it means Emperyeal Arrow will have to be cast giving you a small window to LoS or stun. The rest of the burst will be insta abilities however.
