FFXIV M12SP2 BLM POV - [Kindred] World 3rd Kill

Log: https://www.fflogs.com/reports/RL1XxZ...

Overall fairly comfy fight for BLM minus a couple of buff windows that make LL uptime difficult. You can definitely have a better 6 minute LL than I did (especially if you are not assigned the defamation) but I was playing extra safe since I wasn't sure what the best placement would be. I also likely should've rushed my Manafont and potentially get another full Fire phase by the end of the fight but wanted to play into buffs as much as possible. Would not recommend doing my pot timings since I don't believe 15 extra seconds of pot is a gain over being able to put it in the 6 minute window (although with how hectic the fight is during the 6 minute, a 2 and 8 minute pot timing may be comfier).

The fight was very cool visually but I hoped for a bit more substance for a final savage fight of the expansion. Overall I felt Dawntrail savage fights were a cut below Endwalker in difficulty and complexity (minus Endwalkers gigantic boss hitboxes), and I hope that in the next expansion the designers can be more adventurous with the fight design.

This tier was Kindred's best placing in a savage tier. I'm overall happy with how this race went (minus all the DDOS issues that plagued the start of our prog) and looking forward to the final ultimate of the expansion in a few months.
