Improving as s WAR

[Marxam]

A good rule of thumb is to FC when you have roughly 7 secs left on Infuriate before it comes of cd. If you are sitting on 100 gauge, Infuriate is at 30 sec before coming off cd, use a FC so you don't waste a 5 seconds. Infuriate is more on a 45 sec cd and with IR its closer to 30 sec cd. It's very fast so your entire rotation revolves around what time Infuriate is at and how much gauge you have.

Onslaught should only be used as a gap closer/IR and only if the gap makes you waste more than a gcd. Stepping out of aoes like midgars spin spin combo don't count. Pro tip for o10s. flip-spin combo if you are mt you can still hit the boss but be at max melee range.

Upheaval is only good for IR and those scenarios where you capped 100 gauge after doing maim and have SE already refreshed. Simply use upheaval and finish with SP to get back to 100. Unfortunately if you are mt Upheaval will very rarely bee at its full 300 potency since you won't be sitting at full hp.

Other than that party comp is definitely the biggest factor to WAR dps. I've been in parties where the AST threw me an enhanced Balance during my IR and NIN trick attack is up. I'm already seeing numbers past 25k in o9s and I only have the suzaku axe and food buffs. No pots for me cuz im broke.
