My opener is SE(B4B)-GS(IR)-DE(pot)-SE-TA-SF-Kass-Mul-Raiton-SE(DWAD+Mug)-GL(Duality)-AE-Jug then go into regular rotation

Huton is always up i never let it fall and no I am not the one that lbs but throughout the fight I never am able to get a AE up.

I'm not the best with trying to explain things fully but have you read https://leggerlessxiv.wordpress.com/? or the Ninja thread on this forum it gives some good info. You should be able to use AE in more then just your opener iirc its about 1 every min or so.

The next thing I'm curious to know is do you have bad mudra lag or are you able to cast them with no issues?

TBH that opener is pretty much what I do (assuming you precast suiton, hope you aren't doing it the same GCD as trick attack). I have similar gear to you and my overall fight dps for a1s is usually mid to high 900s. Seems like your in fight rotation is what's letting you down, as your opener is fine, A1S requires a bit of weaving to nail those positionals. Don't be lazy and just stay where you are as the boss turns. Move with the boss's turns if required. Do trick attack as soon as it's up. Reapply huton during jumps so you're not forced to do more armor crushes than necessary.

You are being out-dps'd by a tank, something isn't right there. You say you're never able to do AE, so maybe maintaining huton is an issue and doing huton during jumps might help a bit.

To be fair, it looks like their BLM is being beaten by the tank too. And that's certainly no good. But kudos to your tank for being a solid contributor!

Yeah I was almost going to comment on the BLM too... For a blm to be the lowest dps on a single target is pretty bad too. If your team is all ganging up on you and not mentioning the blm... that isn't right.

Just try and be constructive with each other. Savage is breaking statics left right and centre.

Yeah and its not my entire group its just a select few but I guess I should also stop thinking like the raider mentality I normally have Mechanics>DPS and do the vice versa to get some of them to cool off and back away.

Anyways thanks for the feedback I now know I am low but not as low as they may think I am, and thanks for all the advice I keep checking this in case more comes.
