The one thing that you can map out, is how your off globals and buffs line up in the next 2-3 minutes. How many times does ToD get IR buff or B4B when they are up. Demo usually gets B4B buff but not always IR buff. How many Off globals get IR/B4B and can you better align your opener to make the next 3 minutes better.

Opener is always important, the highest burst should be what we want to aim for provided that it doesnt put our buffs in an awkward position down the line.

The only reason why you think it doesnt matter because dmg looks the same in the long run is because crit RNG.

yup that's it entirely, crit is RNG and makes your DPS either go high or sub par. There is nothing else to it. Don't get me wrong I do agree lining the buffs is essential, but that's why you have to hold off sometimes to align it with your skills so you get the best outcome. But I assume people are trying to find a opener where as you can immediately pop buffs as soon as they are available and get the best outcome with it, but that is wishful thinking. Fights are designed to have different mechanics which won't make the possible 100% of the time, so I would just hold off on cds and pop them appropriately.

@butherboy

I think there was still a case for the meditation stack being changed... but i think they also applied it though. It's 1.5sec gcd now. Unless they changed it so we can get faster stacks during down time or not engage in battle. Other than that I don't think there's any more changes happening that they mentioned.

I stand corrected sir

Edit: updated guide. I previously mentioned using lilyth's opener but that was a typo. I am currently using ossom's opener.

notation

Form Shift Coeurl - (Shoulder Tackle) - Demolish - (Perfect Balance) - Snap Punch (BFB) - Snap Punch (Internal Release) - Dragon Kick (STR pot) - Twin Snakes (Delayed Elixir Field) - Bootshine/True Strike (Steel Peak) - Touch of Death (Howling Fist) - Bootshine (The Forbidden Chakra) - True Strike - Demolish - Dragon Kick - Fracture - Twin Snakes - Snap Punch

bootshine/true instead of the last snap punch in regular opener, fracture before 2nd twin snakes since it'll be the last GCD with str pot and bfb up. with high enough sksp you won't drop twin snakes anyway
