FF 5.X Alternative Raid Buff Alignment and Openers

[Oxdarock]

PLD:
-FoF opener: Fits in 2 Atones, 2 Intervenes, a Goring combo, CoS, Requiescat, and 1 HS.
-Req opener: Fits Confeti, a gore combo, an extra FB and RB, 2 intervenes, and CoS.


This makes me want to cry. FoF opener is all messed up. FoF has no effect of HS whatsoever. you shouldn't have FoF up when Req is up EVER. CoS shouldn't be used before FoF as you're just leaving potency on the table. also you can get all 3 atonements into you first FoF + 2 goring combos, a RA combo, and the last tick of FoF should be the activation of req. You first req window can contain all 4 HS with the confi finisher. After that it changes slightly to accommodate a 60s rotation. It all just hurts. This is not an alternate opener and will only cause confusion.

I like how you have a problem with the PLD openers, even though they're pretty much the exact same as what people currently use, lol.

"Pretty much the same" doesnt count though...Its not optimal and since PLD doent have any huge burst windows (but consistent damage) it relies so much more on timing its buffs with party buffs to get the most out of their abilities.

Look, I cant talk for other jobs because I dont raid with them or know them well enough to nit pick the openers, but I do know PLD. With your opener it seems like youre confusing "could" with "should". Sure your COULD do the opener you mentioned, but that doesnt mean you SHOULD. I can only tell you that if I saw a PLD using that rotation when trying to do savage, I would assume they dont know how to play the job and nope TF out of that party.
