I absolutely agree our DPS needs to increase across the board if we hope to win this, but that doesn't mean we should slow down dps early in the fight imo.
You're not understanding what I'm trying to say. P4, we won't be covering earthshakers. So, we have to maximize DPS in that phase without the crutch. Therefore, we need to learn sooner rather than later how to maximize DPS across the board without it (including P1).
No I do get that. What I'm saying though, is there is no learning to maximize dps through earth shaker. The mechanic causes him to run away and stop DPSing. Its just losing DPS when it goes off, and thats something that sucks, but we have to just deal with it in p4. It would be like saying Rob needs to learn how to maximize dps during divebombs, theres just nothing he can do there. In p1 however, we can bypass that mechanic and pump out extra dps, which not only helps to push p1, but it also helps to beat the enrage.
Putting this here for reference on the timing of voke for the WAR swap:
[–]GrimdarkRose 7 points 6 hours ago At the very end of Earth Shakers he does a Flare Breath, which the WAR doesn't want to get hit by if they're intercepting a Tempest Wing tether since it will kill them if they get hit by both whilst not at full HP (basically causing a lot of unnecessary healing stress). As soon as you see him start the animation for that Flare Breath they can provoke, Akh Morn doesn't register its target for a few seconds after that, during which time you as MT can move off to the side so you don't get hit (simply having the tether doesn't mean you take Akh Morn damage, you have to be close to the target). permalink
Hallowed on 4 is correct. The cooldown rotation our group (and many others) use is: 1: vengeance+thrill+convalescence+inner beast / rampart+convalescence+sentinel 2: holmgang / cover 3: same as 1 / rampart+convalescence+apocastasis from your blm (if no blm, just mind the paladin's health here) 4: hallowed ground 5: same as 1 / same as 1 Sacred soil will help with 3 and 5 too, just make sure your scholar keeps it in range of the tanks, and doesn't cast it too early before the gigaflares.
