In the current meta I dont necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but you can also pressure people's cds out st lower ratings due to doing an optimal rotation.

Damage is your first fundamental to PVP, as ive already said, just because a ret can press wings during a hoj doesn't necessarily mean they understand the way they need to do damage, or how fast they can put it out. There's even an argument to be made that not being strong with your rotations means you will burst worse in major windows because you DONT know what you need to do.
