edit - also saw xenosys vex guide that shows him standing in center till fist hit/flash then running out. is this a viable option?www

Yeah this is what I do because I play with about 200 ping. I wait for flash, stand still for fraction of a second then just run the longest path for leaving the circle while avoiding others.

Correct. As tank. I'll stand up close when flash , I run backwards to pillar. As PLD-Rampart +shelltron for lulz. As War-holmgang. If it's not your ping, your crossing swords,or healers not knowing that 1st hit hits MT for decent dmg, and should have you targeted for top offs.

Don't listen to whoever said to use hallowed ground.
Save that and tempered will to Yolo his big bad wolf, blow your house down move to keep dpsing, grab adds stand in pillar and flash for 1st wave, Sentinel 2nd. War vengeance 1st ToB Yolo mode 2nd

There's actually a pretty big delay between when the flash happens and when the pillar actually spawns, you have a lot of time to get out. If you're getting clipped by it, you're either reacting too late, lagging/ping issues, or someone else is where you're going and you're possibly running into their's. I've only DRK'd it, but I take the 1st tower + Da'at with Shadowskin, 2nd with Foresight + Convo for the tower and DADM for the Da'at, then Shadow Wall the color slam + adds + 3rd tower. The 2nd one it also helps to have tank stance on for, since your CDs are so light. I think you can also parry and block the towers, so maybe Sheltron is good for towers 1 and 2? Idk. You could also try the T5 twister method, run in a half circle right before the flash, though I'm not sure how effective that'd be.

Binahs do magic damage...

i was under the impression that was the part he was talking about where you move in the tower to dodge, So during this time each tank has 2 adds. I am a DRK so using Dark Mind to mitigate the add damage eases the stress on the healers and ups my survival.

If I'm with a group that doesn't use a LB on the adds, I'm usually attacking the Wind with the rest of the party. When the flash goes out, that's my cue to run to the tower. There's enough time to go from the wind to the tower without missing the mechanic. Though I've freaked out many parties that wasn't aware and had some DPS sacrifice themselves since they didn't know what was coming hah! If you do this, be sure to give your team a heads up.

Thanks for the help guys, finally got the hang of it and got it on farm properly ^^ big help was keeping equilibrium ready (not that i'm getting clipped now, just to help with the higher damage of that phase.)
