Turn 5 Twister Strategies Compendium

[BlossomRose]

My current guess is quite simply that Twintania detonates twisters instantly if it's not slowed, and might have a cast time if slowed, making one of the Scourges necessary to reliably get past twisters, otherwise it's pretty much a total coinflip.

There isn't a point to the Scourges in this fight if they are meant to be killed within the first 30 seconds and serve absolutely no purpose besides... being killed. Adds in the middle of the fight serve a purpose, because they're there to make sure your offtank is still paying attention and your group and quickly refocus, but adds at the beginning are nothing but tank and spank, so there has to be a point to their slow mechanic.

Then why are people living half the time? Your theory does not align with observed evidence....

I have to agree with your logic, but at the same time we have to ask why isn't this mechanic consistent? This is just a "for funnies" theory, but what if the crappy server->client position issue is actually the reason why people live rather than why they die? As in, they should be dying, but because of the framework the server is placing the tornado in the wrong spot. This is purely bs speculation and I only really made the comment because of the irony of it.

In truth, until the mechanic is consistently beaten, all of these "sometimes" working strategies are all up for scrutiny.

As a raider of endgame stuff for over a decade now, I am highly suspicious of the Scourges playing an important role in this encounter. Adds that you can burn down in the first 30s of the fight in which the boss is really not "doing" anything terribly special just scream out to me. The fact that nobody has showed up to debunk the theory makes me even more sure that the "super e-peens" that think world firsts mean something aren't sharing.
