Notes

• This action changes to   Ending (which removes Dance Partner) after being used.
• Generally one Dance Partner should be assigned for the entire encounter without changing. Exceptions are if the Dance Partner dies (in which the player should switch immediately) or during downtime before certain phases in  ultimate raids wherein a specific DPS may be much stronger in the upcoming phase.
  • A quick way to select a Dance Partner in Duty Roulette content would be to pick the DPS with the highest HP (if there is a large difference), as this would indicate much stronger gear. After combat has initiated, the Enmity List will roughly indicate which DPS is doing the most damage, at which time a switch may be called for.
  • Switching Dance Partner on DPS death is due to the powerful effects of Weakness negating any benefit from   Closed Position.
  • Similarly, the player should never partner a Tank or Healer unless all DPS are dead, have Weakness, or Brink of Death
