BrM Blackout Combo Questions

[Gyuro 0]

Hey ya'll, first time posting here so excuse time if somethings incorrect haha.

I decided to main my BrM after a lot of back and forth between it, my druid and my warrior. My question is mainly about the BOC talent. 

 

I read the BrM guide on here, so I understand that we need to pair the talent off with kegsmash, and if not kegsmash then our brews, and keep, say, using it with BoF as low a priority as possible.

My question is: Is it not viable to keep a decent uptime on the burn/damage reduce during single target encounters? With the Hot Blooded talents in our artefact being at the top of the list seal-wise, what are ya'lls thoughts on this? 

 

Thanks for reading,

Gyuro

It's perfectly fine to use Blackout Combo procs on Breath of Fire, IF you don't need a significant amount of mitigation during some of a single target encounter. This is primarily because, using your Blackout Combo procs on Keg Smash or Ironskin Brew leads to, overall, a higher amount of damage mitigation than the small amount of mitigation that the Breath of Fire artifact trait provides (pausing stagger for 3sec at moderate/high stagger is really nice).

Hope this helps!
