Notes:

⬥ Loading into Fort Forinthry is very intensive. The following reduces load times

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• Reducing draw distance, and turning off textures.

⬥ When you use dive towards Zemouregal, hover your mouse over the northwest part of the minimap, so you can quickly dive. It is a bit difficult to click on Zemouregal when quickly using dive though, so keep that in mind. (needs investigation)

⬥ Ballista timing assumes you perfectly dive → (tc) + gsunshine. If you are late in any way, the timings will be different, so exercise caution.

⬥ amhej actually does matter for a lot of damage. It's imperative to treat varanussmercy eofspec as a switch, not amhej as a switch.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎• varanussmercy eofspec and dragonclaw eofspec can be switched

⬥ When using dba spec, it's recommended to spec immediately if Vorkath is around 860k the moment you use smoketendrils. This allows you to build up more adrenaline immediately after DBA spec while ensuring a perfect P2.

⬥ Keep zemouregalsnexus on until you use divert, then swap to the nodonspikeharness.

⬥ If you end up using overpower when Zemouregal has around 70k LP left, move gmaul eofspec up and use it with overpower to instantly KO Zemouregal.

⬥ Replace powerburstofacceleration with powerburstofvitality for safer kills, and use it after gbarge.

⬥ Tectonic works almost just as well, but will be noticeably slower by a couple seconds.

⬥ Sometimes can lengmh spec + gmaul eofspec if 3+ stacks and ~70k health.

Example Kills
⬥ 45 kph
