Personally my team cast shadow flare and flaming arrow (I'm the bard) right before fast conflag indicator comes up. As a BRD check your DoTs on Twinny after fireball, if need be refresh them so that you have bloodletter proc chances throughout the conflag. Also if you happen to have Straight Shot proc before conflag is up, save it for conflag (which I notice usually I have it).

For offensive CDs I recommend Raging + IR and Hawk + BfB as another set. Raging is 20% already so pair it with IR for crit chance. Hawk is +15% so you can say +15% damage so pair it with BfB for another 10% to match up with Raging + IR set for balancing. Personally I never find barrage needed. Pre-cast your offensive CD paring before entering conflag.

And I keep my bloodletter, blunt arrow and repelling shot for the fast conflags. Not that I don't use them at all, but time your usage so that you have them ready for your 2nd conflag.

Once 2nd conflag comes up: Straight shot (proc), blood letter, heavy shot, blunt arrow, heavy shot, repelling shot => if your team's DPS is up there, you should have Misery's end ready now. If not, Heavy Shot followed by Misery's end should end the conflag.

If still fails, highly is your team's other DPS issue.

On a side note, sometimes I feel so sleepy (because my team do it on reset night which is 11PM on our local time), there are times I forgot to pop CDs so there are times I only pop Raging strikes/Hawk's eye and it was during conflag itself (so I am wasting one OGCD chance to pop an OGCD damaging skill like blunt/repelling/bloodletter) but we had no issues with fast conflag despite so.

So if you already have flaming arrow pre-cast, 2 offensive pre-cast, and once enter conflag you throw straight shot => blood (OGCD) => heavy => blunt (OGCD) => heavy => repelling (OGCD) => misery/heavy+misery (assuming base 2.5 sec recast time for weaponskills, this set will cost you 7.5-10s. Fast conflag is about 10s for 4 persons stacking) and conflag still fails, I can say may be other DPS being slow.


EDIT: For 4th conflag, I do the same. Blunt Arrow and Repelling Shot should be ready by then.

Does anyone know the Accu Cap for T2 and T4 please?

[BrandoH]

For the entirety of Coil, you wanna hit 472.

[scarebearz]

Thanks .

Outside coil, such as extreme primals where accuracy is useless, is allagan bow still better than elfin bow?

Yes.

Weapon Damage +1
Dexterity +3
Auto-Attack ~+6

The Weapon Damage Increase, and to a lesser extent the auto attack and Dex increase, make the Allagan Bow better.

[BrandoH]

Not to mention skill speed DOES still add dps, and it has quite a bit. But the weapon damage and auto-attack are gonna make a huge difference.

outside of coil I swap in Elfin Bow. i need advise of what i can improve on from my built. it breaks my heart that my group struggles to break fast conflags in T5 ;_;

Are the tanks DPS'ing the conflags ? If the MT runs in the conflag, we found the missing DPS.

My MT runs into the conflags and when we started T5 sometimes one DPS dies but still fast conflags wasn't an issue. Probably something wrong with the DPS's rotation and understandings.
