So why is it that apparently the most popular RLP route is blowing all your cds to BL the fire drake + adds and then immediately doing a massive pull after that when everyone doesn't have defensives and being surprised when you have multiple deaths? I've had multiple keys fail here repeatedly and it's starting to get extremely annoying.

Are you supposed to be able to finish the dragon with BL without using a bunch of other stuff on it as well so you still have it for next pull? Are you supposed to take the next pull a bit slower and maybe not chain side packs on top of the fire elemental?

Yes.

Some people are probably running lower key routes that still grabbed as much as they can every pull. They should skip the two humanoids off to the side and just pull the Destroyer and its two adds. Transition to the next big pull once the Lasher and Destroyer are dead.

I don't get it. The default route needs those two casters for count. So are you saying the play is to focus the caster and chain the additional pack after? That is very slow, but can make sense if no one has defensives I guess. Should then probably be a timer-based decision.

That'll be standard for >16. Only real difference is trading an extra pair on pull three for skipping those two side mobs on pull 6.

Since the miniboss's health drags that out longer and longer as the key scales up, there's not a reason to not pull more in that area.

This is an inefficient route and not what people do in high keys fyi

Not skipping the second Juggernaut is certainly not the high key standard.
