thank you!

okay, so i'm not just going crazy. for the longest time i thought i was wasting DPS efficiency by not spreading dots around.

would spreading dots be a viable way to take down t4, as well?

Where applicable, yeah. Personally I don't find myself multi-dotting often or at all in T4 as I typically roll in there with 2 BLMs. It's only effectively an increase if the DoT ticks down most of the way on the targets, but 2 BLMs using an optimal Flare rotation pretty much tosses that out the window for any pack of bugs lol.

If I multi-dot in T4, it's on the first wave of knights/soldiers. Ultimately it depends on the group strategy. If things don't die too fast, and it's not particularly important for things to die one by one to reduce the load on the tank, then by all means Demolish everything.

And then there's groups that wipe at 1% from Twin's enrage.

Necessary DPS is necessary.

What I mean to suggest is if the positioning of the Scourges aren't positioned nicely and clumped up, then it's questionable whether there is actually a dps increase. Couple with bad Liquid Hell RNG, it can often times be more DPS to just stick to one at a time.

If it can make you feel any better, never saw allagan gloves of healing drop AT ALL.

Sad scholar is sad

Well after months of doing Coils I finally got my first armor drop, Allagan Gloves of Striking, also got the ring of maiming, already had the ring of striking and the earrings of maiming, have not seen those pants to save my life, and I'm hoping I get my visor this week. Unfortunately I don't have a static to try turn 5 so no weapon for me yet.

FC has cleared T5 about 13 times and have seen the Monk Chest 0 times and the Monk Fists once (which was one out of about two clears I missed) WTB less DRG spears and more fists!

So an update on my rotation as a the first one was bad.

Start

1st Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch
2nd Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Demolish
3rd Perfect Balance > Snap Punch > True Strike > True Strike > Demolish (I can only do 4 attacks). If I don't have PB this time I go Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch
4th Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Snap Punch > ToD
5th Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch (I Know you lose your Demolish around this time)
6th Bootshine True Strike > Snap Punch (I wanted to pour the max DPS i can at this time)
7th Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Demolish > ToD
then Repeat


Please tell me if I have to change something and rate it if you will
Oh! Btw the reason i don't begin with PB is that i want the debuff of DK and buff of Twin Snakes to be there although im throwing away the Demolish DOT at the 2nd

[T1M0N]

I'm always opening with perfect balance in my case.
PF >demolish>blood for blood>snap punch>internal release>snap punch>howling fist>twin snakes>steelpeak>dragon kick (PF end)>touch of death>bootshine>true strike>demolish.
Then reset your dots ,buff and debuffs when needed ofc.Allow me to hit hard directly at the start of the fight and use this long CD of perfect balance to allow him to be available if needed later.
