What? You've never cycled rods before?

Your lack of raid experience is shining through yet again.

I have plenty of times lol. I didn't say you can't do it, or raids don't. Not sure how you read my post. It's simply harder than using twitch. This isn't rocket science. Pressing 1 button (Twitch) is easier than pressing 1 button (Summon Rod), dropping a rod, picking up a rod, hoping people don't sit on top of the rods, coordinating the raid to pick up all the rods, etc. The only lack of experience here seems to be yourself if you have never seen problems with rods.

As just one example, I have had people block my ability to pick up rods while I was in a CH chain for AoW. Stuff like this does happen, even in the top guilds. It's not always easy to control 100+ people just by guild and voice chat hehe.

You also can't use or pick up mod rods while casting spells, which is another reason why Twitch is better. You can get mana at any time. Complete Heal has a long cast time, so you have long periods where you can't use mod rods, and some CH chains are quite fast (like AoW).
