MAMA https://dps.report/nmt7-20240120-161225_mama (33s) Hammer - (Force/Impact) + Axe/Axe (Frenzy/Impact) Pet - Pig In slower runs you will have time to cast more skills, so if they are available press them. You should still aim to be on the same weapons at the start of each phase. You can optionally break K1 with Brutal Charge, however at this pace you will not have it back for K3. In slower runs Srowd is also an option if you end up needing to do AA chains, however in faster groups, Sword 2+3 take too long to cast.

Regarding Brawler Relic precast, I chose to not show them on Skorvald and Arkk due to in dT runs having different countdown timings with different players, risking being stuck in combat and causing a GG. However in organised runs with the same group there is no reason to not do them.

Should have precasted BoB and Blast a bit later as they hit into invuln, and maybe used Minefield P4. Other than that pretty clean I think. On NPNG days I would save mine for K1 and use P3 and 4 to boonstrip. If your Renegade does not play Lasting LEgacy take Blast Gyro instead of Shredder for Might.Artsariiv | Power Soulbeastjetrell2023-01-28 | Clean example of a mid rotation.

High 56s should be doable with this strat. Me using Sic Em in P2 instead of precasting on island 4 worked out better overall, even with the delayed use P3, along with the sending both slb to island two, since with outflanked a Bladesworn easily solos Island 4. Got some ideas to speed this up a bit more, so maybe more to come :)

Some Skorvald abuse trying a power comp. Hyps eggs carried this kill and make up most of the difference between catalysts. In other news SLB is still SLB and no doubt we can look forward to it being destroyed in 1 week.

Decent kill to finish the patch off with Staxe Mirage and Alac Specter comp. Hopefully anet don't completely kill fracs on the 28th as skipping the split mechanic in P1 is fairly consistent with good RNG and slow CC. Also helps to not give the boss the the tether back in P3.
We tested quite a few variations before ending up with this comp and there are definitely some strong classes that can be alternatively played, especially Harbinger. But with all comps we found it is worth to have one specter (even if its the only one) take the alac trait, heal well and the condi well and share Alacrity generation with another player.

Every day I try to play my Powerful Reaper in Fractals of the Mists and I get kicked because Discretize say it isn't meta. I get told to play a good class like Swolebeast. I join pugs and get asked to swap to Condition Scourge or Condition Virtunoso and kicked if I refuse. WELL METASLAVES look at my off meta class go, middle DPS, out bursting those stupid light green classes on later phases and SOLOING an island, not even both the Soulbeasts can do that! SO just think next time you see a class you don't think is good everything is viable and remember, it won't matter after June anyway when Anet remove all your buggy exploitative class abilities.
