Quick and Dirty - How to DPS in FFXIV

[Mordermi]

I am going to say due to the TP requirement and dps. It has the lowest TP requirement but the best dps of the 3 AOEs bard gets. That said, wide volley can proc rain of death free for 20 more tp.

Wide Volley and Quick Nock have the same potency, so the dps is the same. I understand that Wide Volley uses more TP, but it can also proc a free Rain Of Death, which can then proc a free Quick Nock. I always use Wide Volley until a Rain Of Death proc, and use Quick Nock only when Rain Of Death procs it. I'm not saying that I'm right, or my way is better. I am genuinely interested in an explanation, as I am always looking for ways to improve.
