Post-Split, Caduceus keeps killing my pet :(

[Garnatian]

Your fairy isn't simply taking hate is she? We had to get a friend of mine to make sure his fairy was completely disabled when anticipating the split so she wouldn't pull immediate hate and the offtank could get a skill or two off.

That should never be the case unless you have an incompetent Tank. Tank should have readied a combo'd Butcher's Block/Halone ready to take aggro.

Jesus lol

It couldn't possibly be because my group has barely started coil and both people were getting used to the fight. No they have to be incompetent.

Urmm, if you know they split it should be your first instinct. "How should I guarantee that I will generate plenty of threat on the boss as soon as he spawns", use your highest threat move. Not rocket science my friend.

Hell first time I did it I had Halone ready to pull.

Caduceus' frontal cleave will do around 3500-3600 damage to the fairy, tail swipe will hit her for like 200.

1) Don't place your fairy vs. Caduceus - there's really no purpose to it.
2) Make sure your raid is properly positioning Caduceus pre-split. We find that it's far more difficult to simply engage and stand where Caduceus spawns. Take advantage of the area available to you.
3) Never stand behind Caduceus for any reason.
4) Don't spawn slimes (as a healer).

The only situation where you should not Place your fairy is if you are manually micromanaging Embrace. It's typically recommended to do this so that the tank receives each and every Embrace.

If you do not Place the fairy, it will not use Embrace back-to-back when it is on heeled to you.

If you Place the fairy, it may opt to heal other people besides the tank who are lower in health (in percentage).

I usually just put my fairy about a tile's length away from the tank. She doesn't seem to take much damage, if any, from acid and she does not trigger slime spawns.

I do think this is what was killing her over and over.

Now I also need to figure what spell to remove from my bars to hotkey embrace :L

I give F for Embrace, G for Sic~Easy to press and not occupied~

i manually heal with my fairy, but i still place her at the side of the boss (near the back) so that she doesn't try to heal someone who got hit by poison

it's safer to have her get hit by a tail swipe instead of a hoodswing since the tail swipe does pretty much nothing to her, but hoodswing will almost always one shot her

if your tank has to move (luckily) we are now able to command pets while casting so just move your fairy away from the boss if the tank has to turn it to jump on another platform (i have the pet bar keybound for situations like this)

But F is my Aetherflow and G is for mount. :OOOOOO

I personally switch between two bars with shift+1 or 2; first one has only damage spells, and the other one is only for healing spells. I also have three - four if you count the pet's - hotbars filled with skills that I like to use without switching around, like cooldowns, buffs, fairy cooldowns, Leeches, Swiftcast, etc. Every button is bound behind a key, of course.
