[dev1022] The Battle Regimen HATE thread and a ply for auto-attack

[Impulse]

This wasn't the point because this would be the same if it was done in a manner similar to skillchains, it would just be more DPS because you're not waiting for everyone to cue up.

It's part of the point s/he was attempting to make. They said BRs lower DPS which is entirely false. I don't see how you could have distorted that into something skillchainish since this is how it is now. The only way you would be losing DPS and sitting in queue via regimen would be if your party sucks and doesn't know how to pull off a BR properly and efficiently. You shouldn't be in queue for more than 2 seconds.

The BR executed before that screenshot was taken took Downy Dunstan down from near full to dead in less than 3 seconds, where whacking it without BR would've taken at least a minute or two.
How you get "more DPS" without BR is beyond me. Sure, it'll seem that way if your group is slow to stack and execute the regime but the fact of the matter is that it does *not* lower DPS and only increases it, both immediately and over time via the debuffs granted.
