...Our current strat has the Scholar doing all the running and it's even better. At least it lets me stay on Phoenix the whole time :P (Our Bard does the running for the passing mechanic)

We have whichever healer who feels like doing it do the passing mechanic! He didn't want to do the passing mechanic because he's used to the SCH from his other group doing it.

Seems like T12 is like T8 where you get together in PF and discover that there are a lot of different ways people did things.

There is a lot of ways to do it, but optimally I think SCH does the blue/red fire and WHM/Caster DPS (cos mDEF) or BRD move to WHM to pass the brand is the most optimal.

Asking any of the DPS to do the blue/red fire is an actual DPS loss. SCH's DPS is never going to match your BRD, and since SCH is primarily DoT based it is still okay. The loss is not as significant as the loss on any of your DPS doing it.

I don't want to start anything, but I'm curious how this is true given that BRD can move around and still attack and not actually lose any dps. The mechanic doesn't stun nor does it require anything more than a quick glance and adjustment on the part of any who do it.

How is it a dps loss when a BRD can do everything without stopping their attacks? It's like saying BRD was losing dps when they did missiles and Brainjack in T8.

You didn't know that having the Bluefire debuff actually cuts over 90% of your offensive powers that your arrows only deals 10+ damage?

The more ya know! I actually didn't. It's hilarious... I've cleared this and still didn't know. But yeah, I'm main healer (as SCH) and do the passing mechanic so I never noticed.
