WAR > PLD

[whiskeybravo]

I've recently had some issues with BLM pulling hate off me right at the start, especially in CT. I feel like I've managed to compensate for it with:

FoF > Lob > Halone (unstacked) > Circle > Fast > Spirits > continue combo...

I'm not sure if that's "right or not", but I'm able to front load a bit more hate on the unstacked Halone at the cost of setting my first stacked Halone back one GCD. It seems to work well for me.

I never really noticed before, but our FC recently got a TS3 server, and now the BLM tells me when he's got a firestarter proc and is opening with Fire3 on a fresh mob lol.. Could be something like that happening to you

Uncombo'd Halone is OK in a bind, but I don't know about making it a habit to use like that. I'm a bit behind on coil progress compared to most folks, but I had some struggles keeping aggro on the mini-ADS adds at the start of turn 1, uncombo'd butchers block didn't last long enough to get a full rotation off. Should get used to burning offensive CDs and rotating in the off-GCD moves in between aggro combo
