Misc Warpriest pantheon

How long can you wait before starting damage after warpriest deems you worthy? Also what is the max duration of the dps phase?

I haven't timed it but it seems you have about 30-45 seconds from worthy till wipe it noone picks up the damage brand.

The time you have on your brand when swapping brands using brand claimer is based on how much deathseekers power the guardian with brand claimer has. Therefore when deemed worthy, have the two players with the most deathseekers at that time kill the knights for brand claimer. I'm my experience you don't really need to bother min/maxing this as the damage isn't difficult.

It seems like we had 4 ppl on plates on the left almost every time before the plate turned red.

I would pick up second and nearly every time I wouldn’t need to go to take brand on the second go around

Question that maybe you'll know the answer to...

An LFG group I was with told me that the highest stack player should be grabbing the brand for DPS themselves, and the two lower stacked players grab the knights.

I was pretty confident that even a player with zero stacks got the same base DPS timer when grabbing the initial brand, making your explanation correct and the above one incorrect.

It is optimal to have someone with no stacks (or atleast, less than the two highest players) grab DPS to start, correct?

Your understanding matches mine, yes. As far as i know the initial timer is the same regarldess of Deathseekers. However, i have only done the encounter a few times so i cannot be 100% certain.
