If both GFs are casting ITF, the effect's timer is simply refreshed with each cast.
The only benefit to double GF ITF spamming I could see is to constantly refresh a DPS GF's Wrathful Warrior, and needing another GF to simply refresh 1 DPS's buff is kind of a waste. You and your team would get a lot more milage grabbing something like a HR who knows how to Longstrider, a SS Rene CW, or HB Fury SW with duckonaplate, or the DPS GF picking an extra damage encounter.
You only need ITF to be up 100% of the time when ITF matters, which is usually when the DC buffs go up. Just be patient and once your DCs put up EmpBtS/EmpFF, and use ITF.
If you really want perma/near perma ITF, get a Paladin with Aura of Wisdom and get an AC DC to spam Hastening Light.
I outlined some of my thoughts there, but you can basically sum them down to a few cues:
-The very best way to know what EmpBtS/EmpFF are are to simply play a DC. DCs are the game's most powerful class, and a pocket DO buffer offers a lot to a team with little investment. Even if you're only taking your DC on ELoL or KR runs, just learning to use the DC's tools will help you recognize more of the signals they use.
-Buff bar. Learn the symbols of BtS and FF which appear on your buff bar and you'll never miss their cast. The Buff bar is one of the greatest tools you can use on PC, but if you're on console, you're SoL.
-Sounds. EmpBtS being casted sounds like glass shattering and FF has a very "holy" sound.
-Animations. I can't really describe the EmpBtS animation particularly well, but it's distinct and you can recognize the BtS animation from sight alone. The FF one looks like the DC is raising their hands, and then water pours on your character from the sky.
-Voice coms. Not particularly flashy, but super practical.
As a GF, you should be observing your surroundings as much as you're observing your enemies, so just check and take mental note of what your teammates are doing.
As an example, say you notice your DC spamming DG 3 times in a row, then tossing out EmpBTS. Once you you hear DG being spammed, prepare to cast your ITF.
I dont really have the time to bring up a dc at the moment so probs check out a few youtube vids of them to see the visual cues and such.
Btw rjc i didnt mention that when i pop itf my cooldown is 7sec, i thought itf has a uptime of around 8se, correct me if wrong dude but baaed on that by the time itf expires i can recast does that class as 100% uptime sort of or not
However, there's just no benefit to two GFs spamming it, especially if one of the GFs practically has 100% uptime.
