I have no idea what I was parsing before Bennu phase.

Awesome, congrats!
I think pulling Phoenix to the puddle is quite simple and effective in keeping uptime on the boss from all members, and also to make the swap simpler if that tanks are handling brand. We do off tank for four stacks, and then I step out of puddle directly into main tank and then voke and continue on. Tons of uptime that way.

Our way to handle fountain : Whm 2, Sch 2, Brd 2, Blm 2.

Could sounds weird to not have tanks eatin dmg but got several advantages.

1) boss stays fix durin all phase, no kiting job to fountain.
2) melee free from any mechanic but dodge tethers, having the boss not moving for positionnals. Both tanks, melees keep dps boss 100% time
3) no unwished brand interaction possible, Ot allways on same side of boss, melees on the other, tank swap durin unforgivness.

I got a timed macro to call things on chat that makes me remind to call it on vocal, it works pretty fine, our caster is losin a bit dps due to moving to fountain, but then the fountain dissapear n he don t have to move again to get out of it since he' s the last to stack it.

Initially we did have the tactic involve moving to fountains, but we were having issues with deaths due to random things. Now with our comfort with last phase we'd probably be fine.

That method Lucelia looks really interesting. I should bring it up to the static. At this point however, our dps is not any issue for winning the fight, it's just simply fun to push numbers. I'll see how they feel.

When pulling the boss over to the puddle the only dangerous aspect is Revelation, which comes out right after the fountain. So Everyone needs to steer clear of the MT.

Also, if you plan on using Holmgang for that one (you really shouldn't need to but crazier things have happened) Holmgang DOES have a range, so make sure you are within it.

Last night during the Revelation 3 minutes in (Phoenix at 55%, just before phase push.. I don't know if it's third or fourth, normally fourth, but I think we skipped second Revelation in Phase 1 on the clear), my dps was 346. It's come a good way since I started this thread.
