    Re: When do you use Meditate

    I like to use meditate at 80%, when I'm about halfway to another swing.
    I also have two meditate macros, one switches to my TP gear, the other switches to my WS gear(Head and hands). If I'm going to WS immediately after, then I use the WS one and hit my WS macro at the same time, so that the WS goes off at 100% TP, then I swing for 52% final, with an extra 4-5 ticks left.

    Feels nice and efficient for me, but that's just my view.

    WS > Meditate > Jump > WS: SC :D

    Re: When do you use Meditate

    I pretty much just spam it in exp and spam ws. Depends on several factors. Will one more hit get me to 80 or above? If so wait so I can med after the hit and ws immeadiatly. Is the mob about to die? Wait. etc...etc..

    Use immediately. The sooner I use it, the sooner I can use it again!

    I use it to self skillchain every time. Usually just before a swing when I have 60-80%ish (assuming you're not lazy, and have AF2 Hands and AF head). one tick + one hit will usually net you your first ws, attacks + meditate will close the chain easily unless your acc fails.

    On SAM, whenever it's up. On WAR/SAM, whenever I remember it exists.

    ^ Haha yeah, pretty much, unless I feel like trying to self-chain. Usually I use it as soon as it's back up, I merited it down to 2:30 so I could use it more often ya kno.

    If I'm fighting those damn birds, I like to keep it around in case I eat a feather tickle, just to get me back up again.

    Also, if like, we killed one mob with overkill (every so often you get that one mob where everyones TP coincides at 75% and it just gets obliterated, but the next mob is slower because of it) I'll pop Meditate to keep the killspeed up.

    Not as easy to self SC with it as War/Sam unless you're using Fortitude Axe.

    Which ends up being just about every half hour for me...unless I want to self-frag.

    Re: When do you use Meditate

    Soon as it's up.

    Ends up staying perfectly in sync with berserk as well if you start them both at the same time, maximizing the number of WSs you can pull off with Berserk up for a higher average.

    Re: When do you use Meditate

    My LS perma for SAM has another SAM in it. So whenever Meditate is up and I'm not using Soboro:

    Meditate -> Yuki -> Wait for other SAM to use Gekko: Fragmentation -> Gekko: Distortion

    If I sub THF, I will add TA at start and SA at the end. I haven't really been subbing THF though..

    Re: When do you use Meditate

    I use it as often as it's up, but prefer to wait to ~80% as I hate ending up at 95% and needing a whole tick of meditate to WS. What a waste of 15% TP. This is easier with Soboro though. Maybe when I switch to Hagun this will change.
