So I've been practicing lock on with R3 and that does make it a bit easier, so thanks guys for the tip. We're still wiping to mechanics on Ratfinx, but when everyone does manage to get their preferred opener in without slip ups, we are skipping prey. We've at least made it to pig adds now (though LB got goofed and we wiped there), but fingers crossed for a clear next week.

I do have another problem though.. I am horribly embarrassed by my performance on Hummelfaust. It feels like everyone else is improving each time they go in, but I'm failing to "get it." If this works, data here: http://www.fflogs.com/rankings/chara.../10/#boss=5006

The 1633 parse was because I screwed up and accidentally went into normal rotation for the Fausts instead of holding Battle Litany for Hummelfaust. Using lock-on did give me a lot of trouble at first, but I feel like by last night, it wasn't impeding me as much.. so I'm still just awful at figuring out how best to manage rotation for there. I did try comparing parses to a few, but it seems I'm kind of terrible at figuring things out like that as well. Here's our clear from last night (and 3 close wipes in the same night.. I died for one, but not the others. It was a bad night..): http://www.fflogs.com/reports/Jmw9Lc...e-done&fight=5

We generally see the cast bar for the final Panzercheck each clear, and I'm worried that I'm the one at fault here. So, if anyone has time to take a look and point out what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.
