You can argue that CAR design is a weak point to PCT, because it is sort of true since I don't see almost anyone holding buffs for the damage amp phase of the raid, but classes like BLM who naturally align a buff window thanks to 2nd leylines into the amp window skews the result. All this because as people mentioned, there is no need to try so hard, the fight is entirely a mechanic check.

I guarantee if you have an alliance raid that agreed to send the real opener 30 seconds into the fight, right when the damage amp window is applied to the boss you will see PCT creep its way back to near the top, in fact you slightly see this when you sort by max in the statistics. Someone else previously mentioned that the raid hides PCTs power better than savage and FRU does, and I'd have to agree. I don't want balance around the 24man though so I'd rather we ignore these results, and just let it be a chaotic mechanic check because this is far more fun.
How else are you meant to de-emphasise a massive burster than forcibly misalign the burst window

Like is BLM actually OP but FRU “hides” it because it emphasises the burst window?
