it sounds to me like you are not using the buffs at the right time, and are saving them for certain sitatuions. while their are times when you need burst, you should be using them as soon as they are up, but INBETWEEN every GCD skill. so heavy thrust, internal release, impulse drive, blood for blood etc.. if used just like shown, blood for blood will still be active for the life surge on full thrust. from then on, you use them as soon as they come back, in between skills again. no reason to save them unless you know a huge dps check is coming up in certain fights, and even then, the more you run a fight you will know if they can be up by the time you do need them

Oh I got the order wrong... I'm using bfb whenever I can of course, but I sometimes save it for the true thrust combo to make sure I have it up when I use life surge on Full Thrust.
Thanks for the help btw

Drg is not weak. Not knowing the fight mechanic makes is weak. I'm always top dps n my Fc but did t6 a few weeks ago and I was bad. I mean horrible. I think my dps barely pass 200. That was my first attempt on t6. So not knowing what to do in a fight will hurt ur dps. Need to study more in t5 before u call drg us weak

I'm almost certain I've done Titan EX with you, when your DRG was wearing a spring dress.

Anyways, you just need to learn how to adapt the rotation to T5s mechanics, really. Little things like, having dots ticking on twintania, whilst a conflag is up. Before the conflag, being ready to land disembowel straight on it, to go straight into burst mode (fast conflags).

Once you do that, you'll find your DPS won't be low enough to be compared to a PLD. But enjoy your venture on WHM.

Oh yes, I thought I read your name before, that must have been it But it was certainly a while ago, I didn't wear a Spring dress for weeks ^^

Oh to be honest... I mentioned that I never let my dots down but I didn't pay any attention to dots on twin while burning down conflags. That's something I will start to do now for sure!
And thanks a lot, healing is just my thing ^.^

I feel like a worse monk half the time.

so! 2.3 related thoughts, ilvl100 weapon, gonna be alternate for weathered/Animus?
will the ilvl100 gear gonna change the pre-t9 BiS? I'm really curious about chest and belt for sure (tired of my ilvl90 chest and belt!)

[HulveinBlitz]

Only time will tell sir.

As for weapon, it depends on its stats I suppose.

I think the new items will be more convenient and better suited for those willing to put in the time for EX runs versus those willing to farm FATES/raids/dungeons for the higher tier of Relic weapons. People like me basically because I rather obtain an item via battle than have to build it over time. And yeah, that means I hated getting my Relic Weapon (though Zenith wasn't bad because Myth is now abundant).

I still don't understand the appeal to the Weathered Liberator. By the time you've accumulated enough Soldiery and obtained the items necessary to refurbish it, you could have gotten a High Allagan Spear or even Animus. That doesn't even mention Tidal Wave Harpoon and Novus being right there with it. It just seems to me like questionable allocation of time for something that's going to be replaced anyways. Holy Lance has this same issue, but at least it's an iconic weapon.

which part of HA SPEAR's RNG u dun understand? Animus? lemme see....Atma RNG? check! , Animus brayflox SR for a week 24/7 and get urself burned out and quit playing? check! Tidal Wave Spear Mirror drop rate? check! Novus? huge time sink and massive gil sink? check!

versus

weathered liberator which only cost 1300 SOL aka 3 weeks no RNG with UAT being GET UR FREE LOOT FROM T7 TRAINING DUMMY and u can negotiate with ur static on ur sands...
