Question - Whats going on with CWTN named burns vs burnalways?

[erictheprince]

I have burnalways set on my bst and monk and sk but for some reason on actual named they do almost 3x their regular dmg its like it still recognizes a named and doesnt do as much dmg on other mobs, they are almost at 1.5m dps on named but 300-500k on regular mobs even when burnalways is set on

Do you have other people in your group hitting aDPS abilities when there are nameds?

It could be due to the fact that normals mobs die super quick, and every mob it starts burn routine again? Plus you may have discs aa etc on cool-down has well.

What's going on not being able to post in the correct location? You have been asked you repeatedly. You also ghost after questions are answered.

If you burn always you waste all your stuff full time because you're burning always. You get less value for burns. Which is why the entire burning methodology exists.

But always treats everything as if it is a named.

Burning always you're likely being very inefficient and wasting long cooldowns and glyphs and other stuff.

Dps ramps up over time. Named mobs live longer than trash mobs. Nuff said.

Based on this conversation I wanted to say if anyone doesn't understand the reason for burnalways I can explain really easily.

Not using BurnAlways will allow you to save your burns for a named mob. But if you're farming XP/AAXP then it's reasonable that you may know that you will never run into a named mob. So BurnAlways could be used to gain a slight advantage to the rate at which you kill the mobs, slightly increasing the speed at which you cut through the fragile mobs. If the hunt goes on for a long duration and the cooldowns start expiring and the abilities become ready again it's entirely likely that the burns won't line up anymore which causes you to use them as they are available, resulting in a slight DPS boost for the duration of any specific burn ability but the appearance of an overall DPS drop. However over a long period of time your sustained DPS will have increased, meaning you did more in less time.

If you want to be able to hit your biggest numbers then burnalways is not for you. You instead want to reserve your burns for named.
