    A3S going into cascade phase, when to pop cds?

    They all line up very nicely with the start of the phase so I've been popping them there, immediately at the transition after adds. But ferrofluid will come out midway through Wildfire so I'll lose a couple of GCDs being stunned, not sure if that's worth it, better to wait till after?

    I wait till afterwards. It comes very shortly after he goes back to his normal shape. I am still able to sustain DPS fine waiting for tethers to happen then use my WF rotation.

    what ive been doin is start popping cds once the boss starts its "goinginsidethecontainer-ballthingymajig" and go with that. That usually makes me miss 1 global at worst and leaves me mobile on the next part of the phase.

    i do it immediately. as soon as you see the core from the tornado reach its apex, i do my full opener. he bfb rs hc>hot shot>dex pot>leadshot and so on. with good timing, i only miss a split shot in wildfire, not a big deal.
