Out of curiosity why not HT - Ph?

This is touched on in a couple places, but Fr and Ph can be in either position. I just tend to use Fr first to ensure Ph gets buffed by both IR and BFB. Once the initial buffs are used you can switch to using Ph first.

This reminds me I need to change my macros around and put IR on Fr and not CT

Does anyone else want to pull their hair out because Elusive Jump is on a 180 second cooldown? Don't get me wrong I can move like anyone else but 180??? Feels very long for the class. 90-120 anyone else feeling the same about this ability?

Hi,

What would be the most optimum rotation with buffs and off gcd skills for a very short duration fight? Specifically the turn5 phase where you've to burst down the conflagration before it explodes

Generally you'll only get 4-5 GCDs on a conflag. Best dps is Disembowel->True -> Vorpal -> Full. Just prep the Disembowel with an ID on Twintania as the conflag goes out, and make sure HT has been recently refreshed prior to the conflag cast. oGCD abilities will depend on whether it's a burn conflag or not. You don't need any, other than leg sweep and a jump if you want, on regular conflags, and blow half your cooldowns on the burn conflags. Feel free to Phlebotomize a regular conflag after Disembowel if two dps end up inside.

So much text...
Any plans for a video tutorial that explains this all?
Like the different scenarios, normal grinding, bossing etc etc.

On another note which cross-class skills should I have at 50?

4+ Hours of Turn 5 until we downed it. Ran the entire time with 476 ACC with food. Merged all the pulls during that time.

Thanks for the parse, I think we've confirmed at least a 472 ceiling, hopefully we can get some people parsing with accuracy in the 460's to see how low it goes

In my opinion and from what I've seen running my script a bunch of times at different accuracy values. The 7-9 or so accuracy points you get from hq Deviled eggs outweighs the dps boost you get from Buttons in a Blanket.

We confirmed this a couple pages ago

Why would you use the Allagan Earrings of Striking (16 crit and 11 skill speed) over the Tremor Earrings of Striking (11 crit and 11 det) in the Pre T5 BIS list?

It's fine if you want to overvalue det. Just swap out items, such as the earrings, that favor skill speed over determination

heh, sounds good man, i skipped over the last 10 or so pages because i've been away from here during the entire holiday break. on a side note the more and more I look at these BiS lists the more I think the diff is negligible as long as you don't go too far above accuracy cap with i90 gear and have your i95 spear.

I actually liked what you said about aiming for slightly below acc cap on gear stats and using the eggs to get to the cap for T5 while using buttons for everything else, been doing that myself for a bit now.

Winning personality right there...matter of fact I'm trying to grasp it all though some of the abbreviations I'm not familiar with (such as GCD).
Only started about a week ago, so forgive me if I wasn't born with a spear in my arm unlike some

Anyway a video tutorial would help new players, though the class doesn't seem to favor them.
Other than that I appreciate your effort...
