    BRD A4S dps help

    Hey,

    I need some help with A4S on BRD. My static is having me come in as a BRD since the one they have isnt pulling weight. I walked in tonight at i193 with thordan bow.

    If anyone could help me with the following questions i would appreciate it.
    (They are having me sac all 3 time fyi)

    1. For the first 2 legs I am popping my CD's on CD is that what I am supposed to do?
    2. From the 3rd leg on I am picking up the Jagd in the back of the room. I am trying to save CD's for it, but sometimes have trouble establishing threat what to you guys do to burn those really quick?

    On the first two legs just pop your CDs on CD. There are a few basic push timings you want for each leg:
    DPS are coming out of quarantine as first leg dies
    2 quarantines on leg 2, with the targets coming out around the time the leg dies once again.
    1 Set of dolls on leg 3
    2 sets of dolls on leg 4

    As long as you're meeting all of these, you shouldn't need to save CDs for anything specific except for the jagd dolls. Rain of death on the manipulator when he's targetable, your healers have nothing else to do there besides DPS.

    If you're doing the sac method, you're probably ignoring every Straf doll except for the last one of the 4th leg. So, technically, you don't need to burn your doll down quick, you can even dot it up and tickle it low before you feed, or burst it down quite quickly and give your healers time to top everyone before the other two are fed. As far as aggro goes, I'm honestly not sure, as I've always picked mine up with VB+WB and it hasn't been a problem. You should have BFB+HE or RS up for each set of dolls, so unless your healer is doing something crazy, picking them up should be a breeze. I tend to use sidewinder with RS or Barrage on the doll with BFB+HE (depending on timing I even pick mine up with barrage'd EA)

    thanks for the help. It looks like thats what I've been doing. I think the threat issues are just a factor of im 193 and my WHM is 208.
