Openers

4th GCD Chain Standard Opener

Used in most encounters, this opener provides optimal Chain Stratagem alignment with your raid team.

3rd GCD Chain Opener

3rd GCD Chain Stratagem is situational; it’s fight and party composition dependent if you should use this over the 4th GCD opener.

No Dissipation Opener

For situations where you can’t dissipate in an encounter, when you aren’t comfortable doing so, and especially for progression, use this no dissipation opener.

We still need your help!

Thanks to your support, SaltedXIV raised nearly $2,000 for RAINN in support of sexual assault awareness.

But this fight isn’t over. As long communities keep actively silencing victims and assault discussions, this fight will keep going. This site and this community still need your help. Any contributions are helpful, no matter how small. 

I also want to encourage reading and discussion of these experiences. There are leaders and pillars of this community actively silencing or proliferating anyone speaking out. Please don’t stand for this. Please don’t support communities that silence victims, that not only rip off designs, but have mentors who sabotaged this site and faced no reproach.

We can be better than this.
