When should I work in radiant shield? It looks like it's a huge dps increase for the tank at least

Before every tank buster.

However, most physical damage is still just normal boss autoattacks, so really use it whenever its not casting a raidwide aoe.

This is actually not a particularly strong spot to use Radiant by default because bosses don't AA during tank busters. Then again, bosses don't auto during mechanics so there can be a lot of bad spots to do it.

I use Radiant on pull no matter what because it'd scale off FoF/Berserk and put it on CD. Otherwise used when it's off CD and it will live out most of its duration, otherwise better to keep it for the next phase/pull/whatever.

why is it x8?

why is it x8?

At the moment the current strategy is to share the cleave with the group, rather then split with the tanks so all 8 people will take the cleave. Which would make it a nice 400 potency nuke

radiant shield only affects physical classes as far as i know, magical classes can't deal physical damage unless they are smacking with their weapons. For example a blm won't move every time out of their comfort zone just for the cleave and stack in for a weapon smack, lol please correct me if i'm wrong. I already tested this on magical classes, it doesn't work.

Very good fact to know, I'll make sure to go for that.
