FF 5.X Alternative Raid Buff Alignment and Openers

No they actually won't, because damage is not constant, so the Boss mob getting to that transition phase is not constant either with your timing nor your CDs. It COULD turn out that way... but it also might not.

Um. Bosses now are always scripted, so what are you talking about?

Tankbusters are always at X time stamp.
Heals are always needed at Y time stamp.
AOEs are always at Z time stamp.

This has been the case since HW where people could no longer push/phase bosses early (e.g., Cruise Chaser in A11S, Zurvan EX).

There may be niche instances where you make rotational changes (e.g., DNCs in Phase 1 of TEA AOE Living Liquid and Living Hand because it’s more damage over single-target), but these are highly niche and highly fight specific. Things like your base rotation rarely deviate in most content. And openers—which is what this thread is about—do not deviate on a fight-by-fight basis. They are always the same.
