Dragoons... how do you feel post 4.0?

For Lakshmi...
For Susano ...

That's what I do on Susanoo. He phases right when I'm about to enter the first LOTD, so I just get 2 Nastronds on the sword and build eyes there, using BOTD to refresh to 15 when it hits 1s as he comes back. That said it doesn't feel rewarding due to how low the sword DPS check is.

I only did Lakshimi with my static, so getting Nastronds there was a pain and again unrewarding due to how fast those adds were dying.

Then you did all you could do and pulled your weight accordingly. Just ask for the sensible thing, higher potencies and extra jump buffs under LotD xP
And yeah when you get a fast group in lakshmi the adds are moot. I had one and could only get away with 3 nastronds in add phase. 2 from the previous LotD and 1 from the LotD I activated in there.

That doesn't sound optimal to me. I get 6 nastronds pre adds phase (2 full LotD) and I get a LotD activation during adds phase by holding GSK (1-3 nastronds group depending)

With your tactic you will most certainly lose dps due to not being able to nastrond a target with consistent piercing debuff or you lose a lot of nastronds trying to get 5 in the adds phase since this is the part where dps can change the outcome.

You probably are right I just have really bad memory. I just know that I come in add phase after using a Nastrond and 2 nastronds from that same LotD in said add phase.
How many geirskoguls are you holding to pull the 6 nastronds in p1?

For susano, that all depends on how early your first GSK is. Since he always transitions at 1:32 you can get 2 nastronds before he jumps, the 2nd one being just before he goes invulnerable.
