    I'd played this game for four years and I'm not 100% sure we are taking about the same buff. We're not talking about tinctures now are we? No I dint think so.

    As for 2/3... all the people I enjoyed playing with will be WAY more or of sync than just one or two GCDs after a single rotation. Most will be doing a 90% (only) proper rotation they worked out for themselves and that's just in a normal trial or Expert roul. I myself refuse to make the effort to make gap closer part of my rotation. I tried it for a bit and the job just got irritating and flat. It was just me and boss following our own independent scripts.
    If we wipe engage because I dropped some gap closers so save them up then game is taking piss.

    I'm still not clear on if Synced party Buffs, and people timing their bursts to those, are two separate discussions?
    I had assumed you time your raid buff to yourself and that's it. Maybe you stay in sync maybe you don't.
    (And this is why to me PF send extra challenging. How the heck do you get back in sync with no voice, a shit blowing up everywhere)

    Do you know what a cooldown is? Are you aware that most buff abilities have a cooldown of 2 minutes?
