My main priorities in this (apart from keeping people alive) were to keep RO, Reconstructive Domain, Colorless Pool, Weakening, and Shields up as much as possible. I opted to swap out from Horn to Resonating Glyphic for the 2nd add pull, as we'd still have Force up from Sax.
I had the idea to include Fulminating Rune into my skillset to give the DDs an extra synergy, and because extra deeps is always nice when one can spare it on supports. I nyoomed into group to recast Domain all throughout the trial - learning when it was safe to do so in such mechanic heavy fights was honestly very fun.
I swapped to portals after second boss to speed things up a little, but also because they're fun, weeeee. ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝ Since I was in charge of taunting and pulling in the Infuser on the right side into group, they also helped me get to the last add pull fast enough to skill swap & begin the animations for the NPCs. I had to skill & CP swap at least once before and after every boss, so to lessen the time it took me to do so, I pre-selected which skills/CP I'd swap to (you can see this before the 2nd boss where I go to my skills and CP & keep the ones I'm going to swap to hovered over). I was a bit slower than usual on them for whatever reason this time, 'though.

In DB, add pulls tend to go by so quickly (especially with this group) that it was especially important for me to place skills on a hierarchy based on how important they'd be to that particular pull. In this regard, my general roto for adds was: pre-placing hots | pre-buffing with Combat Prayer | leaving an Altar within range in case a burst heal was needed while I was proccing RO | starting to wind up a Heavy before the enemies were pulled to get the maximum out of RO as soon as the fight started | [insert skill I didn't yet use] | 2nd RO proc | other debuffs/buffs to top off the end of the pull.

There was at least one add pull where I purposefully didn't cast RO because the add pull was especially short, and if I had casted it, the group would get to the next add pull (which had more enemies) with about 2 seconds of Major Slayer left + the cooldown, so I felt it was better to save it for the add pull with the most enemies (case in point, the add pulls before the 1st boss). I also tried to take the Sorc's Atro synergy all throughout the prog whenever it'd pop up for me to increase the timer for Major Berserk since I was in Jorvuld's.

Pillager's proc missed me in the add pull after Yandir, so you can see me swapping to ult pots when I saw it had landed on a Matriarch or something instead of me. (๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭ So I had my ult a tad late when it was called in the 2nd to last add pull before Vrol. I used ult pots last floor Falgravn as well as Shield Master to squeeze some extra shields in there if necessary. Chakram Shields are OP for Falgravn (Instability especially) so you see me casting them on the entire group before Instability goes off. There was a time on 1st floor where I chose to heavy Falgravn instead of Njordal because the fist mech was going off, so I backed up to give the DPS some space & procced RO with Falgravn instead as he was within range. Altar was a bit tricky to recast sometimes, especially 3rd floor or when skipping conga so I had to learn when it was safe to do so (I learned recasting it after popping my ult during conga skip was the best time). Last boss right at the end, I chose to prioritize the heals/other stuff instead as my skills were doing the classic not casting/casting twice thing, so the last thing I wanted was to use Altar twice in a row during the last 10 mill.

All in all, an ok-ish run on my part. An insanely amazing job from the rest of the team. ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-
A fantastic group of players all of whom I consider homies. Ggs.
