Is it reasonably possible to clear savage without Synced Burst windows?

While it CAN be depending on performance, at that point hitting your raid buff every 120s should really not pose any issue. Drifting is fine so long as you try to pinpoint where its happening and do what you can to mitigate it, but you should never willfully not hit your raid buff CD in time with the party if it can be helped. They even added loud and unique sound effect to them as a "hey dude, the party is buffing, join in!" last expac.

Again interesting. So it is sufficient that everyone hits their buffs/cooldowns at the same time, but it doesn't really matter much if they are syncing their bursts/gauges etc with those buff windows?
