Turn 12 - Bluefire & Redfire

We have cleared T12 but found that the Blue Fire to have a LOT of random stupidity behind it. For instance, our SMN picked it up and immediately it fell off. He was not near Phoenix, or near a live or dead bennu, and did not pick it up early.

We handle the mechanic by having a ranged DPS (SMN) grab the debuff once Redfire is being cast and proceeds to get hit by the Red Fire.

Here is what we know:
-The Bluefire AOE circle will evaporate if dropped too close to Phoenix (confirmed) or a bennu whether it is alive or dead (unconfirmed).
-Once picked up, the bluefire debuff will fall off the player faster if the player gets too close to Phoenix(confirmed) or a live bennu (unconfirmed)
-Running over a dead bennu's corpse with the blue fire debuff, causes the debuff to wear off (Disproved. Our SMN grabbed the debuff and stood over a corpse for a while and it did not fall off)

Thoughts?

P.S. if this hot fix is to fix something about the bluefire/redfire, our SMN will jump off a roof. I'll stream it. LOL

When the red fire spawns the boss does an 8-10yalm (The animation doesn't really look as big as it is) aoe that will cleanse the blue fire if the person gets hit by it. It's the same aoe that evaporates the pool. Our group thought the blue fire was super wonky too till we figured that out.

We had some issues with Bluefire, but it was our own issues, not a bug, as stated by Archulak, if Bluefire puddle is placed too close to Phoenix it will evaporate, or if a player picks up and then runs too close to Phoenix during the "evaporate" aoe it will be removed. Never had an issue with it since we started to handle it with those 2 rules.

1) Just be aware and don't drop it near Phoenix
2) If shit happens, get your BRD to immediately pick it up and go to a safe distance. The debuff is 1min, long enough to last until Redfire.

I think it is better having waymark and drop the bluefire on the waymark position and person who get the redfire will pick the blue fire. Less risky strategy in my opinion.

That's what we do, but then sometimes people still derped and you need to know how to respond to that though.

Dont be egoistic, let other SMN join the jumping! :)

Yes, I have faced this issue a few times. Picked up blue fire but no where near Pheonix, blue fire debuff gone. Not sure why, no bennu nearby either.

You guys.....


You see that cast bar, saying "Redfire"?
And ya know the fire blast that goes out from the Pheonix before the actual Redfire ball spawns, and you have to intercept it with Bluefire?

If you didn't know...
If you have the debuff "Bluefire" and you are in, or near the radius of the redfire initial explosion, the bluefire debuff will be cleansed before you can get to the ball.
