<p>Do the hardcore raiders amongst you have any tips how to max out the dps on raids concerning combat arts and autoattacks?</p><p>Beside, of course, using ACT with autoattack-sound-plugin to waste not a single autoattack, I would say </p><p>* first to lower the enemy's defense and mitigation: Eye Point, Kidney Blow, Triple Blade</p><p>* use Insight with a high haste to have as many autoattacks as possible exploit the extra dps, such as along with Perfect Finesse (with Perfect Finesse casted at first followed immediately by Insight to waste none of the precious short 13 seconds of Insight)</p><p>* Insight only on multiple encounters because of the long casting time that wastes autoattacks</p><p>* Using all temporary buffs (Insight, En garde, Perfect Finesse, the lvl 35 DPS buff) at once wouldn't be a good idea because of diminishing curves, would it? Also you wouldn't have anything for the very next fight.</p><p>Any further tips or professional full casting orders and timings incl. usage of temporary buffs?</p>

avoidance > mitigation > offensive debuffs for killing trash mobs. other than that you pretty much hit the nail on the head. insight is actually not a very big damage boost for us in RoK, considering the changes in mechanics, weapon delays, and the fact that the extra damage is very small considering any respectable swashy is parsing 5k without a mythical. I find casting it mid fight, especially on trash, pretty much kills your dps.
