Malin-HunnysMonsta,

I knwo this was answered already, but my DPS on A5S skyrockted when our whole group used their full openers and pushed the first "Prey" phase & first bird phase. Even though he is big and you're doing slightly less dmg, you get to wail on him that much longer. Although, I dont get to buff my dps by aoe-ing the pigs because I have to kill the bomb tossing goblin on the other side of the map

Also you shouldn't be switching between crossbars too often. I would highly recommend setting up your cross hotbars (L2+R2) for your Fang, Claw, Geirg, and BoTD. I keep my TTT, IDC, HT, PH, all jumps (except elusive), and all buffs (except littany) on my first page. Defensive CDs, 3min CDs, Mercy Stroke, Invg, etc are all on 2nd hotbar.
