    It's also largely pointless to use CDs on the Fausts unless you need to, better to align them with TA + BL + Foes/whatever as well as your pot.

    Examined all the logs from the highest DPS WARs, 2 Berserks are better for sure. You rather miss that guaranteed +50% damage for 30secs that can be used TWICE in a fight? Those high DPS results in less total time in general. Lining up Berserks with whatever other buffs is quite pointless IMO. Unless if someone breaks it down how 1 Berserk can trounce 2, I won't easily believe opinions/possibilities that aren't backed up by hard maths.

    Note: 900 DPS vs 1.2-1.3k DPS. I wonder which one is better...

    The point is if you use Berserk in your opener on double Fausts, you will not be able to use it on Hummel until after the TA / BL / stacked buff window. So, you will have less overall DPS on Hummel.

    For some groups, that's a make or break difference. Even if your group has no issues with Hummel, all you are doing is padding your DPS by double Berserking. It's like using Decimate instead of FC on A1S Faust. You're just being a jack ass to look better on fflogs.

    So poor and low DPS gets the pass? This is why most people can't pass Hummelfaust. Perhaps going back to check how to do their rotation is too hard? Sick of people defending poor DPS in any way possible. There is 100% no problem with the design, and there are a lot of flaws when DPS aspiring to raid does less than 1.3k DPS in Hummelfaust (yeah, standing still and dps is so hard bro). Period. Defend those players all you want, but you bring DPS classes because you need their DPS, right?

    I think you're either misunderstanding, or genuinely trolling. On the off chance it's the former:

    2x Faust = ezpz DPS check, very low HP on both, very forgiving enrage timer
    Hummel = Not the hardest DPS check in the world, but significantly tighter than the Fausts

    Both are on seperate enrage timers, if you beat 2x Faust at the last second before their enrage you'll still have the exact same amount of time on Hummel you would have if you beat 2x Fausts in say 10 seconds. So burning the Fausts asap is pointless, it doesn't actually do anything except make your numbers go up. If your group can comfortably meet the DPS check while you pad your numbers, then go for it, but you're literally contributing less by doing that. Your numbers go up, that's all. Literally, as Brian said, you are being the guy who Decimates on A1S Faust.
