Whats the best way to improve dojo time as a Bam?

Currently my dojo time is at around 6:04, however my fellow BaM in with 300k range lower than me and less boss damage finishes it around the same time as me. Whats the secret guys! ( we both have the same attack speed, i have 1.7-1.9 clean range)

Whats the secret guys? o.o o.o o.o
Is it time to transition to Fire Poison? :C

What you wanna do is get a murgoth soul, spawn it and let it kill the first 10 rounds for you, the right pillar is where murgoth hits even the spawn thats the furthest to the left.
Thats how i saved about 10-15 seconds..
/ My fastest time is 5:45 atm

Portal lag doesn't matter that much because your never ever going to get rank 1 with a bam

As a Sydneysider Bam i can attest to what Tehees says. I get 1 second of delay on a good day and at least 2 on a bad/rainy one. Plus teleport lag makes me overshoot the portal more often than not

@lKingAura: or maybe even more honestly -> Australia

@lKingAura: I admit I don't try hard but the portal lag is legit LOL. Portal lag, tele lag, you name it! Spamming up at each portal - approximately 1-2 seconds delay and then spamming at the door also 1-2 secs AVERAGE so you do the maths and all those levels REALLY add up.

yo don't worry! I cap all the bosses with both Finishing blow and sweeping staff and the fastest time I can get is like 6:10-15 I think. You just need extremely good spawn luck and be in a place other than Australia

@proxyied do you really think you're in a position to tell people what to do? he can play f/p if he wants, you don't dictate his life.
play f/p
more power to you.

i'm no dojo expert but from i've heard from other experts, maybe it's just the little things that made the difference. I don't know if you are already doing these, but here you go:
1) position where you stand depending on where the mob spawns - right on top of the portal / one or two teles away
2) know exactly how many hits you need for the lower level ones so once u have executed that many hits you move to portal straight away (instead of waiting for the animation to finish and the mob dies)
3) use dark genesis when you've got the time for it
4) for the lower level ones that you can 1hit-KO with BKB, initiate you FB+BKB combo right before the mob spawns (instead of after the mob spawns) so your BKB (but not FB) will hit and kill the mob.

Good luck with your dojo!
(Last one: you can always use those energizers, or even better, Subani's Cauldron to give you +200 m.att for 10 mins!)

Get more range then switch to fp. Or research blaze wizard and see if it is still good after the nerfs. bam doesn't dojo well at higher ranges from what I've seen.

You might want to wait for the third part of the current kms patch to see if they are doing any revamps before you switch classes.
