I've given serious thought to leading a static for the upcoming Ultimate. However, while I've been in statics before and know what practices I liked or didn't, and googled a lot around static best practices, I've never actually -led- a static in the moment-to-moment sense.
In particular, one thing that's kind of opaque to me is the optimal way to run an Ult prog session. I know practices like "learn from every pull" and deciding whether you or others are doing callouts, but not e.g. what tools you're looking at / what you're keeping an eye on throughout the session, or where you're devoting mental energy besides your rotation.
So for example:
Any other advice along these lines is also appreciated. Also, big thanks / shoutout to the ever-helpful raiders in the Balance Discord - I've learned a lot from them!
(Just some extra context, in case it helps: I've cleared two Savage tiers plus UWU and TEA, and got halfway through FRU before IRL stuff thwarted my plans. Besides this Ult, I'd love to do TOP someday. That said, my parses are only green / blue so-so far this Savage tier, though I've hit purple parses before in previous content.)

So for example:
- What third-party tools are you looking at throughout the session to help identify and solve trouble spots? E.g. sharing replays, or plugins? How often do you check these kinds of tools?
- What buffs / debuffs / etc. are you keeping an eye on during a pull, or do you largely leave that up to the above-mentioned tools?
- How do you cap off sessions? Do you share logs / replays? Do you give homework / post-session assignments to members or specific feedback about what to improve?
Any other advice along these lines is also appreciated. Also, big thanks / shoutout to the ever-helpful raiders in the Balance Discord - I've learned a lot from them!
