I completely agree with Noctis on the use of PB. Sure it might net you a small DPS increase, but if you drop GL3 during the fight and don't have PB available to recover you stand to lose far more.

Also on the note of BfB on Bootshine, I definitely track a damage increase when it's up on on that move. For example on a dummy I had Bootshine doing ~525 damage average without BfB up and around ~585 average with it up (600 highs).

Thank you Noc and Ricdeau on your inputs. I would probably keep the PB stacks for when GL3 drops due to mechanics but what if the phase allows you to use PB stacks to deal extra damage considering all your dots are up or its still a no no ?

T1 and T2 it should be highly unlikely that you would drop GL. So those two fights are generally safe. I don't have an issue on T4 typically, but there's always the odd occurrence on that one where something unexpected happens. Honestly speaking out of all my testing the DPS increase from PB isn't much if you are maintaining yourself as close as to maximum efficiency as you can. Which is why I generally don't feel the need to use it mid combat, and sometimes I get in such a groove that if I pop it I'll mess up, haha.

Hahaha, yes i can relate to that. Midway through fight, weaving all your combos and looking cool and all that when suddenly you pop something and your combos became retarded. But then no one gonna notice. Even when you screwed up, the monk still looks flashy ^^
