Unchained. Seriously, why are we not abusing this skill?

Well I find PLD boring so that also gets in the way.

Have you tried using cover on the healer and running around making people play limbo with the tether?

They always run away because fighting Living Liquid and the tether mechanics in Ramuh and Vault does that to you.

Cover should just be a passive ability like Darkside. Or work like Synastry. I mean if your member is a dumb and breaks the tether then it's a waste of a cover.

Seriously, pulling in Defiance since nerf will get you hate for rest of the fight with a few combos, why blow 5 stacks on a unchained CD? get hate, build stacks with with storm's eye and then internal release > Berserk > deliverance > fell cleave > infuriate > fell cleave. if both fell cleaves critical (using crit food) your looking at like 6.5-9k burst dmg. Making unchained an exercise in noobness.

That is all

And it blocks all the damage of those attacks? Sounds pretty hype. Makes my DRK jealous.

It doesn't block all damage from any attack - just causes a block to happen. I'm confused by this statement.

Because using unchained will allow you to do more dps when you pull in defiance, and you'll still have 5 stacks to fell cleave when unchained runs out.

Granted I could have named the thread better, I didn't expect people to completely skip the opening post and it's main intent. Some good off topic discussion though I guess, maybe.

Because 1 extra FC isn't worth ~6 GCDs of 25% less damage, surprisingly. You'll also build significantly less aggro, and since the intention is for your co-tank (PLD/DRK) to tank after you're pacified and then never use their threat combo again, it's a good idea to actually build a huge threat lead for them to ride on. You'd also be opening with Eye, with no Unchained, and no Berserk, or you'd be opening with Block which is even worse. If you're going to do this, you may as well just OT completely and have the PLD/DRK pull.

Also, hopefully this was just a mistake in your post, but don't do 3 oGCDs between 2 GCDs. You'll clip really hard.

A specific tankbuster from Sephy in Phase 1 can be 100% blocked with Sheltron. That's what I'm getting at.

Wait, really? Is there some certain condition for that? That sounds pretty awesome. Never heard of it before. xD

Are you sure you don't mean Sheltron + other stuff? B/c Sheltron is at most 30% on it's own... so it can't negate 100% damage.
