If you are burning flare whenever bulb pops you are wasting dps from not finishing your mp in astral 3 stack. If you happen to be low mp already it is much better.

I do wish people would read posts before replying xD

My reply is an easy way to solve a low dps on middle bulb/poor targeting issue, it's not about how to max dps on T6 ^^

If you have a SMN in the group who is keeping their dots refreshed tell them to save 1 aetherflow stack for when bulbs are about to come out. If you see another red dot in the center on the mini map pop bane. If no red dot use fester.

Yes tab or hit left or right direction arrow on gamepad, 99% of the time it will target middle bulb due to being the closest mob other than boss.

Position your camera so that the middle bulb and Rafflesia are the only targets on the screen. Then, press tab.

It isn't with recognizing that it's spawned, but rather targeting it QUICKLY so we can DPS it down. How? You can't see it when Rafflesia is standing in the middle. I can't target it with my mouse. Do I scroll through enmity list till I find the right one? That doesn't seem like the fastest way.

I feel as if there's something simple that I'm missing.

Adjust your camera so that no other bulbs show up, usually top down angle, then use tab. In this turn especially it is better to have the amount of area you visibly see limited to only what is important...which is Raffy and Middle bulb spawns until Glazed honey comes out. Even then I would keep a top down after the bee is closer in range just to limit viewable targets.

Cure for targetting middle bulb --> tab targetting

Cure for being slow to recognize and respond to middle bulb --> none available.
