How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[MiniTyra]

I absolutely disagree.

There's a reason why a group have cleared A4S in i190. There's a reason why stacking raid buffs together is effective to push through mechanics and clear fights. There's a reason why every single successful progression group understands the important of stacking buffs/debuffs together. Every single speed clear group synchronises buffs together. It's an extremely effective.

Your group maybe timing your buffs incorrectly and using them in a manner that is completely ineffective, hence why you can't see the benefit of it.

That's a 10min 03s A3S. Notice where the Dragoon is using Litany, blood for blood and his potion. Definitely not during the add phase.

Well I see Jack used my a3 as example for using buffs during adds, and I can tell you right now it's not a raid dps gain. I try different things and popping buffs during adds was one of them. I always change what I do , I also haven't raided in a long time but I would advise not popping b4b during adds. Save it for your potion and other buffs after adds.

There is literally no disadvantage in popping BFB during adds phase in a3s if you pop it at the beginning of adds phase. If you pop BFB as soon as it's up in the previous phases, it'll be up for the beginning of adds phase and will be back up at the start of final phase. So unless you need to hold BFB to get through hand of pain, then why not?
