Role Specific Tips
By Lyra Rose, The Balance.Role Specific Tips
Tank
Tank
Reprisal usage and party mitigation needs to be carefully planned out. One tank is able to do it on every Maleficium, while the other should get other sources of damage such as Diamond Dust, Earthen Fury, or Formless Judgment.
Party mitigation should be planned out too. 90s shields can cover the first Junction, Earthen Fury, Maleficium, Lions phase, and a final Maleficium or Junction.
If a PLD is present, they should Hallowed Ground the second Formless Judgment, and the other tank should invuln the first and third.
The MT during the Classical Sculpture phase MUST keep the boss facing north (or south) in order to point Rapturous Reach. This may make it difficult to see their tether and their number, so pay extra attention.
Healer
Healer
There is plenty of AoE damage going throughout the fight. Coordinate healing.
Have your tanks invuln as many tank busters as possible so that you are only healing one tank during Formless Judgment.
2m cooldowns such as Temperance will be up for the Junction Shiva phase if used on pull.
The Junction Titan phase has the heaviest healing of the encounter – players must be mitigated and healed to full before and after Earthen Fury, and then healed in between every Bomb Boulder wave.
You should top the party in between each wave of Lion breaths.
DPS
DPS
As this enrage is extremely tight in progression, coordinate DPS cooldowns.
2m can be used during Junction Shiva. 3m should be used during Junction Titan, as that phase has full uptime. 4m should be during Cast + Obliteration.
As 6m happens during Lions, players should consult timelines based on their job’s rotation to see if they should use their 2m on cooldown (the enrage is ~8:27) or save it for a burst after Lions phase.
Use Feint on Formless Judgment, and Addle on instances of heavy raidwide damage such as Diamond Dust, Earthen Fury, or Maleficium.
