## 💡 Best Practices

<details>

<summary><strong>Optimizing Your Buff Setup</strong></summary>

1. **Order by Duration** — Place shorter-duration buffs first in your list
2. **Set Appropriate Delays** — Allow cast animations to complete (300-500ms recommended)
3. **Monitor SP** — Ensure you have sufficient SP for buff maintenance
4. **Use Presets** — Start with job presets and customize from there
