War opener?

[Taihaku]

Edited my post above slightly to change when to use FC after the 2nd berserk window so that you FC at max gauge for a better chance at a crit. Otherwise I believe this is the best opener. I'm pulling numbers around 3kdps on lakshmi and susano with this opener and my strategies for maintaining berserks after it. Still makes me wonder why it's so doom and gloom around here saying War is dead.

Because people are waiting around for people like you to figure it out for them.

Well, if you have to stance dance at all in that crazy long rotation it completely breaks the timing of everything, and loss them deeps from lost or poorly utilized gauge.

I find I have gloom over how little opportunities I have to actually do a even somewhat optimized rotation/opener in 4 man content. It is not that it matters really or not in that content, it is that it let me practice this, in that content (and then blowing it up was always fun to see). But that is not really the case anymore. That and the weirdness in that are best burst does not come to at the earliest 135 seconds or so into a fight.

Think 3k is still at or somewhat behind pally, if you factor them receiving slashing de-buff.

The death of WAR is not coming 100% from a lack of place in a meta we have no idea about, it is coming from what many are considering a poor QoL play style now.
