MRD Tips?

[Almaxia]

MRD gameplay is really obvious (buffs -> burst)

Exemple of Burst :

Buffs : Straight shot > Internal release > (Sprint + Invigorate) > Blood for Blood > Raging Strikes > Berserk
Skills : "Full Swing > Brutal Swing > DPS skill > Holmgang > Mythril Tempest > DPS skill > Mercy stroke"

The difference between a good and a bad MRD will be your ability to succeed this burst.

So a good tip would then be to acquire those off-GCD damaging abilities to start that initial burst? I am also starting to think it might be better to go after their most stun-y DPS to keep the pressure off our healer.

I tend to shy away from buff-dumping on anything but Tomahawk spam due to the fact that I can easily miss combos or attacks via sprinting healers, etc. W/Dual Hakken I am expecting to be popping 400-600 dmg non-crit tomahawks against running healers.

And Eden - I kind of do want to play a different DPS class, I am gearing a SMN (and then learning how to play it, lol) right now, but the only other DPS I have on my main character is a MNK, and its really not the play-style I am looking for. I want the kills shots, and right now even with my flaws I'm getting 2-3 kills per round, and I have about a 75% success rate of downing the healer inside 1 minute.
