KB tanking and tornado

Yesterday in CT i managed to tank KB for the first time but i encountered a problem regarding tornado. I tanked him between NW NE towers but the first tornado popped on my face. I managed to try to go to the edge of the platform but i was still taking damage so i had to move closer to either of the towers. Fortunately we didn't wipe :o

Then he used his cone if not directly then really close to the towers and i was worried he might destroy them. I am sure i don't have to move him through the field to avoid this tornado (the others spawn in different locations no problem with that).

So any advice? Thanks in advance :D

you shouldn't get hit by it if you are actually at the edge of the arena. maybe a little step to the side but behemoth shouldn't actually move at all cause the tornado fits into it's target ring

Yeah, as long as you're at the very edge of the arena you won't get touched by that tornado. It's actually best to tank him to the side where the 4th giant spawns (West? I think?) so that the OT doesn't have to grab the first giant from on top of you. Just make sure to avoid his trounce thing and hide for meteor and you're fine every time.

MT should Tank Behemoth DEAD North at the edge of the arena. (His knockback move actually puts you there anyway), dodge the narrow red ground-effect cone, and rotate your cooldowns.
Job Done.

OT should Tank the Giant to the EAST or WEST of the Arena (I usually go East... since the giant will pop North, then after the first roar East, then after the second roar South)
I've never seen a Comet drop on the MT, but I have on the OT.

In dire circumstances both Behemoth and the Giant can be tanked by the same tank (I've had to do it before, it's doable but you really need decent healers backing you up)

thanks i got the idea! if im not mistaken tho giant spawns at 12-9-6 o'clock so might it be better to tank him between NE-SE ( 3 o'clock) to avoid giant spawning on ur face at all?

as far as i seen, the tornado always spawn at the same distance from the center, and there is always some room between the edge and tornado
so, just move to the very edge and you should be ok

btw, why everyone thinks that tanking north is the best ? the west side should be the best one as there wont be any "giant under behemot" spawn, and all giants will be easy to pickup

It removes the risk that a dps will go full retard as you are moving him and allows you to get in to building hate much faster.

As the others have all ready said just stand on the edge and you will be out side its range and still have space to dodge left or right for trounce with out him turning much if at all and he is big enough that mnk/drg can still attack form all sides and be safe.

He's not dead center. He starts much closer to the north side. Run straight through him on the way in, and you're basically at the northern edge.
