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

I mean with how job rotations are structured, there really isn't an excuse to not have at least something to cram into the buff window. The most complex it ever really gets is with jobs like DRK/SGE/SAM where you want to hold onto a charge for certain actions to slot two of them into the buff window for much more potency. Regardles of party structure, you're bound to have at least one or two raid buffs and it's never a bad thing to capitalize on them and even if the whole party are "selfish" jobs, it's possible to clear content if they all hit their buttons on time.

The biggest DPS loss will always be dying. Damage downs suck, especially in fights where they're just the flat 50% non-stacking variant. But they're nowhere near as punishing as a bunch of missed GCDs.
