Just kill the conflag like normal and eat the fireball stacks?

The waxen flesh is always still on when fireball casts... it drops right before it impacts.

We have never, ever had issues with it since we have used our modified strategy. Only one person ever in conflag, no issues killing it, and no issues soaking fireball.

Every Fireball up until this one was on time. This one, however, came early and would have landed before the previous stacks fell off, so the person who has it runs into the Conflag.
This is exactly what we're seeing, but much more often.

It sounds like your FC is just getting the encounter on easy mode or something, if this isn't happening to you.

Heya, that's my stream! Didn't mean to have that stream public (deleted a few days ago but apparently Twitch can't delete instantly).
I can tell you though that you don't have to use Xilrasis's brute force strategy - it probably works for them because of their group composition + extra gear (they were one of the first FCs into coil). There is nothing wrong with feeding fireballs unless we later find out there is a hard enrage timer and you need to shave some time off phase 2.

If we don't beat you there.

If we don't beat you there.

Then you can whisper me your dirty little secrets instead

The point, though, is that most FCs are never having to put Fireballs into the Conflag.
They can soak all of them and never get overlapping Waxen Flesh.

We're getting this so often that we have to put most of them into a Conflag.

Don't really know what other FCs are doing. Have only seen one stream and they were still wiping to phase 2. Just do what works for your own raid. Your luck with loot drops matters. Example: Our second raid group has almost zero Allagan on their DPS, so they have to feed fireballs.
