    Why the furthest target? Does doomspike stop when it reaches the intended target or something?

    What about changing the order of my rotation? Is it a dps loss to use oGCDs like [Internal Realese] asap instead of waiting for them in the rotations order?
    aiming at the furthest allows you to make sure you get everything in between you and the mob. Doom spike requires positioning to make the most of it, if you happen to target the mob right beside you, your character will just aim at it and chances are that youre going to miss a couple mobs. so when using doom spike, you want to target the furthest, and make sure theres as many mobs in between you and it.

    Using ogcd on cooldown is usually the best way to go, unless you know they aren't going to apply on your dots, like, if you use IR a GCD too soon that it doesnt buff chaos thrust or some stuff, but if you play it well, usually it shouldnt happen. Also, reality being what it is, its up to you to know when to use certain oGCD depending on the fight. if you're using BFB and the boss jumps right after, its a huge waste and dps loss. But on a dummy fight with no downtime, using stuff on CD is the way to go.

    It can also happen that multiple stuff becomes available at the same time, what I do is I use the biggest cooldown in priority, unless it can buff the damage of the next ogcd (IR, BL, BFB). I'm talking more about jumps and legsweep. Not too sure if thats the way to handle it, that's just how I do it tho so dont quote me on this pl0x.

    This is fine! Most things that are priority are that way simply because their cooldown is shorter. There are exceptions, but it's usually fight-specific knowledge, using your dives for something besides single-target melee damage (which... is usually fight-specific knowledge), or the boss being almost dead so maybe you don't get to use everything.

    In most cases, the cooldown conflict is largely avoided because the first uses were staggered, but life ain't perfect.
