The next six GCDs and the oGCD window that follows will be fully buffed.ĭuring this time, you will want your six GCDs to be: Then after your third GCD in WM, use Battle Voice and then Radiant Finale. If you drifted EA, late-weaving it here will put it at a good timing. Even if your ping causes a small GCD delay on your Muse double-weaves, in most cases it should be fine.Īfter the next GCD, if you were on the 4x Bloodletter side of the 50-50, you will have a Bloodletter to use, otherwise it is a free space. Like with the five GCD Muse, you have some leeway here. And thanks to Army’s Muse, even though you use Raging first here, you will still be able to get nine GCDs buffed by it. If you have kept on top of it, EA should come off of cooldown right on time. Going into the two-minute mark, you will late-weave Wanderer’s Minuet.Īfter your first GCD, double-weave Raging Strikes and then Empyreal Arrow (EA). It also means you can be a touch early on the WM and it is fine. Double-weaving during Army’s Muse can delay the GCD slightly if you have some ping, so this leeway helps. ![]() When done right, your first GCD will be ~0.7s into WM, giving you about a half second of leeway. One good way to time it is to wait for the cooldown spinner to pass the bottom left corner of the icons. Use it at the end of the off-Global Cooldown (oGCD) window, but not so late that it delays the next GCD. ![]() You will use a GCD at 1.4s, 3.6s, 5.8s, 8s, and then the buff will run out before your 10.2s GCD. To make this happen, you cannot press WM immediately after a GCD. You want to use five GCDs under that Army’s Muse buff. The level 78 trait Enhanced Army’s Paeon gives us ten seconds of faster Global Cooldowns (GCDs) at the start of Wanderer’s Minuet (WM). For this second case, do not use that charge you can use it as a fourth BL under Raging Strikes later. In the other, the next charge will be just about to fill. In one case, it will be about halfway to a charge around the 30s mark on the AP timer. This is to make sure you can use three BLs under your burst.ĭepending on how many procs you got during Mage’s Ballad, your BL cooldown can be in one of two places. Bloodletter poolingĭuring Army’s Paeon, you want to start saving up Bloodletters (BL) with about 30s remaining. ![]() Doing so is well worth the small inefficiency of using an Iron Jaws a bit early each cycle. You have already seen this in the opener. This is often referred to as “snapshotting.”īecause of this, you want to press Iron Jaws at some point while the full stack of buffs is running. If you use Iron Jaws under Raging Strikes, the full 45s of DoT ticks will have +15% damage, even after RS wears off. You want to pile as much damage into this window as you can! Preparation & Things to Know DoT Snapshottingĭamage over time skills “lock in” any buffs and debuffs that are active at the time the DoT is applied. Your party should be using any buffs they have at the same time, making the total boost even larger. Like many jobs, Bard’s kit revolves around a big damage burst every two minutes, alongside a powerful duo of party-wide buffs, Battle Voice and Radiant Finale.Īdding Raging Strikes to this, Bard buffs their own damage by ~28% for 15 seconds. It is a little all over the place, but such is the nature of a kit like Bard’s. Topics are ordered based on some mix of importance and flow.
