Still, your point in how it can use its buffs immediately is similar to the GNB example I use. Both can use their buffs and burst really early, but opt to line up with the party and other raid buffs.

I wholeheartedly believe in the concept I've been running with and the math that backs it up. I just had too much faith that people would be willing to put in time to try it out themselves. So, thanks to the recent analogy somehow clicking in my head, I'll be making a doc and sheets that put all my logic and reasoning to bare one-by-one over the coming months. If it somehow still gets proven suboptimal, then I'll have no choice but to give up the ghost (mind you, if it is proven, it'll have to make it's way to me somehow since the only counter-arguments that have reached me were via these OF threads and all of them have fallen short of the mark).

As for the BRD opener missing Sidewinder... Whoops, lol! Thank you for pointing that out. It's a silly mistake and I'm surprised no one has pointed it out for so long. I'll be sure to update it in the future, but as a quick fix, it should be used before the 2nd Bloodletter. Sorry about that. ^^;
