FF 5.X Alternative Raid Buff Alignment and Openers

[Silverquick]

Do you understand how Summoner works? Casters don't even have combos and yes, losing a cast is bad, but you also hilariously picked one of the best mobile casters as your example, the Summoner who has instant casts for almost every situation?
.

Obviously I do.
And where in the hell did you get the idea I was talking about "combos"? I do not recall ever bring up Casters doing "combos". I do believe it was about "rotation" and having to change your rotation... and directly stated so.

And I do believe we were talking about losing a GCD and it changing your pre-planned rotation... not "The Summoner isn't mobile".

Im not sure why youre calling this petty, youre making outlandish claims about boss design which are being shown not to be true. As for your smn example earlier, these are all things you can adjust your rotation around ie saving a ruin 4 or egi assault, minor adjustment and youre still doing a rotation. To go back even further to your hw dwt example, yes it was bad to cut your dwt short for deathflare, not just because of the 10% up from dwt, but the 10% up from contagion, and also raging strikes every 3 mins, and if you know when the boss is going away then you could very comfortably get in all the ruin 3s under all these buffs, far better than early deathflare just in case it randomly jumps (which bosses dont do)

What "outlandish" claims are you talking about?
I stated boss mobs will randomly use techniques, and gave an example and the response I got was "but but but that doesn't count and stuff"
Either way none of it has anything do with what I said.

I also did not say that... I said this...
"No they actually won't (be consistent/predictable), because damage is not constant, so the Boss mob getting to that transition phase is not constant, either with your timing nor your CDs. It COULD turn out that way... but it also might not."

... and this...
"See that's where we disagree,
Especially when you get to dungeons or raids with a lot of movement, adds, transition phases, and a lot of AoEs going off.
If you don't stay flexible, you will lose DPS... not gain it by sticking to a set in stone "rotation"."
