Forgive me if there is a topic on this already. I’m wondering if anyone has a good write up for an optimized burn for dps classes. I use all CWTN plugins and I was wondering which clickies do you recommend and which ones may sound good but actually hurt dps. Also does anyone setup a hotkey to broadcast intensity of resolute? Do you guys run alliance in raids? I’m specifically trying to maximize my mages,beastlords and berserker to do my part in helping take down a boss. I’m all ears for setting tweaks you recommend too. I’m generally high on parses but I’d always be willing to push it even further.

They have optimized burns built into them, however, depending on the encounter, and what all classes are there besides yours, you might need to stagger (or direct class/specific char) burns. And yes, all can be done via LEM, events, or even a hotkey. Its not a "do this and you are golden", it takes knowing the event and the classes.. and any friends you are raiding with (I ALWAYS MGB AUSPICE TO START)... and then you just build your rote around that guy (gal).
By and large were incorporating the "should use these" clickies into the plugins directly, many folks try and add all sorts of shit that actually hurt you.
Modern game zerker? Casting when you could be swinging = loss, so fk your bunnies.
To Durango's point - knowing your encounter will allow you better usage of burnnow and/or burn count. Not knowing is robbing yourself.
The scripted behavior doesn't think ahead multiple encounters like a raid lead might, saving XYZ cause a bigger boss is coming up - that's up to you.
Some things are understanding the timeline of when burns come back for each class.
Having banked AA and knowing how to buy glyphs during an encounter will help you.
Being able to determine if you want to hit your special aa to max your mana. Or 7th.
Many folks chase smol increments when they might be missing more important things, like mob uptime or mana (mana reduction potions?)

max aas
max'd type 5s
max'd type 7s
best weapons you can get
best proc augs for the weapons
best familiar, illusion (veil), mount you can get
best stat food (minor but since you're asking)
horn/feather
cop4 clickies
pimp out your type 3s - for spells directly or for things like +atk, or +offense/skill
you can also do things like "well i know the cwtn plugins don't use Convalesce and the other timer 13 abilities that give negative to swinging, but I know of situational usage where i would want to do that, so not only have that hotkeyed, but also potentially have the type 3 to match"
ensuring you're synergizing your group is important too
@montywand here's my list...losts of universal stuff there...most needed for tanks/casters/dps/healers/cc classes

Yeah my guys are almost at the point where just trade skill aa’s are left. I have almost full set of ls type 5’s couple of NoS for rest. My type 7’s could be little better but I’m on the right track there. I currently only have 1 guy with cop4 and I have one with cop1. I know I should try to farm more of these. My type 3’s are all optimized. Also only my tank has janns veil i have about half the progression to get done for rest of the team. One of my mages is in full Nos raid gear with all the nice augs. Unfortunately he is my lowest aa’d character at around 41k . The rest of my team is in combination of memoryforged/blood-soaked with t2/t3 ls armor.
Thanks my sk which is my main I drive has pretty much all that or better . Still appreciate the advice.
