A12S / Holy Bleed / SCH / Advice?

Here's how I do it.

For the first Repentance rotation: * Rouse + whispering dawn before the second puddle - even one tick in between heat and bleed can make all the difference. * Have soil up for the incinerating heat and and holy bleed. * Indom after stacking, and a cure 3 from my WHM cohealer makes topping the party trivial. * Deploy the holy bleed.

For the second Repentance rotation: * Eye for an eye on the main tank right after the puddles spawn. * Rouse + whispering dawn should be coming off of cooldown about now. * Fey covenant and fey illumination before the stack. * Fey illumination buffed succor before and after the heat. * Soil for incinerating heat and holy bleed again. * Indom + cure 3 for topping off after holy bleed. * Virus for the mega holy

Some stuff to think about: * If you have a WHM, yell at everyone to stack immediately after the incinerating heat for a cure 3. This completely trivialises topping the party off. * Yell at everyone to stack anyway, because they'll want to be in range for deploy and inside the bubble. * If you're seeing the third set, consider spacing your buffs out a little more. Technically you CAN pop illumination + covenant on the first and third sets, but the timing is very tight and you have to pop them early on the first one. * With no weaknesses in the party and no blood for bloods up, soil + succor is enough to keep people alive. I would recommend more than just that, but technically it's sufficient. * If you have a WHM, BLM or SMN you can work eye for an eye in on the first/third rotations as well. It won't work for holy bleed but it can make the other stuff more manageable. * If you have a SMN and are seeing the third Repentance then you can work virus in on the first and third rotations instead of the second. Again, won't work on holy bleed but can make mega holy or tank busters easier to handle. * Party-wide regens can handle the party while you concentrate on the tanks for the tank busters and while they're eating the puddles, which gives you free dps time.

A lot of groups cheese the second one with tank LB but you have more mitigation than you can shake a stick at, and in my opinion it's better to have a melee use the LB.
