do you not use the finisher

i've been looking around many battle mage videos and i've noticed that most dont use the finisher.
so do you guys not use them as well? is the finisher not important enough in the higher level?

[quote=Mysteltein]Not using something that would yield you more damage for next to zero efforts is a particularly weird preference.

Not using Tele Up combo because it hurts your finger on the long run would be considered a personal preference.[/quote]

Why even come to the BaM section asking for help if you're not gonna use your head for a second.[/quote]

Holy Avatar Change Batman!

Anyway.

This is kind of the reason I find posting in the BaM forums depressing these days. People ask the same 5 questions over and over and they don't seem to bother reading anything more than the few posts that agree with what they want to believe. I like helping people but it gets depressing when it seems like everyone is dead set in their opinions and refuses to change for any reason. Not that you don't get the same kind of people in other parts of this forum, or in other forums for that matter, but at least there are more than 5 questions to answer so it makes things seem more varied...

What I do is ADC => Dark Shock => Quintuple Blow => (get's knocked back by a mob, I don't have stance) => The Finisher while teleporting.

i do use it sometime, but i prefer just spamming FB most of the time.
i use dark shock more often than the finisher.

Generally unless your FB does more than 1mil total damage it is better DPM to use The Finisher but a lot of people (myself included sometimes) just spam FB since it is easier.
