FF14 5.X Alternative Raid Buff Alignment and Openers

[DRKoftheAzure]

Thats not how that works, no mercy on the 5th gcd is going to be the latest that you do no mercy unless theres some hellish scenario where the boss goes invuln almost immediatly. Practicing using a bad opener 8th or 9th GCD opener will only lead to relearning timings for the entire fight when you want to be optimal, use the standard opener then use the faster optimal ones later, or hell just use the optimal ones from the start, the tier has been here long enough.

Care to show me what the "standard opener" is? Because their are probably multiple standard openers and most of them revolve around other people's raid buffs, and each one is very specific about a specific fight.
