Nihilus' annihilate cadence

Can we please fix this? This is one of the most frustrating things in the sith raid. Nihilus will have a 1 turn cool down on his annihilate, so I'll use unbreakable will to keep my characters alive. Then on his next turn he'll use ceaseless carving and should then use annihilate, but then sometimes he just won't feel like it and he won't use it and he'll do ceaseless carving again. I get frustrated, and then next time he has a one turn cool down, I learn from my apparent former mistake and I won't use unbreakable will yet. However, this time he uses ceaseless carving, but the he DOES use annihilate! Both times I lose a character because Nihilus can't friggin count! Please fix this. "A war is impossible to win unless there is a plan." In this case, I try to make a plan but every attempt gets nullified.
  • @T4NM4N26 I‘m not shure how it looked like in game, but he only annihilates after doing ceaseless craving, if the character he attacked had a buff. That decreases his cooldowns. Isn‘t your character buffed, Nihilus cooldown will only go down at the end of the turn.
    I know the mechanics aren‘t easy especially in phase 1, but if you know your characters and their abilities it‘s pretty predictable, what Nihilus does next. (Not necessarily in Heroic with the 50% chance of a third turn)
  • I fight P1 with zzAsajj, zzMT, Acolyte, Daka/Talia + zVisas Marr. I can control DN pretty reliably. Downside is that damage is not impressive: ~2,5 Mio in T5/6. I could try to switch dozens of mods ... but this takes far too much time.
  • I have also used Unbreakable Will and had my unit's turn come around again before Nihilus because my unit is faster and lost the shield.
