2nd boss in The Aurum Vale (AV), Coincounter, something wrong with this boss?

His timing is extremely quick, his eye laser can't be avoided unless you basically keep moving and predict way ahead. I know it's not lag since the others have issues dodging it. I remember going through it originally on my 59 first time and wasn't this hard... lol

It's kind of funny because Halatali HM cyclops gives you a few more seconds to read his attack than this one in AV... the one in AV you have to move as soon as he turns... almost seem glitched

Coincounter is all about reading his telegraphs. Each of his attacks has a different charge up animation (or cast bar) and the key is reading them.

Grayve is correct. I've ran it as dps back in the day. .. and dodge this dodge that... then the other day I ran it as my new tank at 47... died 3 times from swings cause I was not watching animation expecting a aoe circle or some indication and nothing. Now as my tank i have run many times and knowing the animation make it extremely easy.

The easiest way to dodge anything this boss does is to be in melee range. The only move you will have to step away for is Swing. This also applies for the Halatali HM first boss as it is virtually the exact same fight.

The sweeping eye laser is dodged by being in melee range, or behind him.

What the others have said. This boss does not have the orange area markers for aoe's that most other bosses and enemies have for their attacks. Pretty much you have to watch for animation tells and the boss cast bars and react quickly to get out of the way.

If you have trouble avoiding glower: He will turn towards whoever he is going to shoot at a moment before the attack actually starts charging, so if you see him start to turn just start moving to the side. It's the same timing as the one in Halatali but the Halatali boss runs in a set pattern so you always know they are coming and can react more quickly.

The Halatali HM cyclops is so much easier than this boss, I think most of my team wipe from this boss than any other in AV. Actually we 1 shot the other ones lol

It is a very nice boss.
Part of the tutorial : "watch what i m doing and read my casting bar"

The other clones are easy due to aoe markers. Only the alexandrite cyclop can be trouble solo for some people, but only because of adds :)

As a tank that is the only attack that I will stun. Providing the stunning dps lets me. Always happens right after he does his Reconsider. Stun that, save your ranged, give yourself a few seconds to get back enmity as well because of the agro reset.

Edit: By the way I love this boss fight, as well as the final boss pair in SV HM. All tells, no aoe markers, sometimes not even a cast bar. Love that.

The boss teaches you how to react fast to castings, and that not all moves will have an AoE marker on them. It's a way to remind you to keep an eye on the enemies movements and be aware that not all AoEs will have their circles shown.
