Notes
This build only works if you kill MAMA in less than 55 seconds. If there is any doubt about the kill time, go with the PuG version. The following guide assumes you are following the proposed CC-Distribution.
In more organised groups it's recommended to run Tempest+
 precast to get extra phase 2 DPS and better Quickness/Fury uptime after the
changes (especially if you want to run with Dragonhunter instead of Firebrand).
