    We're currently working on it, we have at least one member who's cleared Twintania a few times. It's a learning process but we'll get there
    Statment: This one's static was having the exact same problem until a few changes were made. One, have the DPS bring both Higeas (small snakes) to 50% only then focus fire Asclepeus (Big Snake). During the second Dive Bomb Phase, have your BLM(s) use Manawall and just eat a divebomb if targeted and continue to damage the Asclepeus while the rest of the group is kiting the divebombs off, be careful though as while the BLM is immune to the damage from the divebomb, the rest of the group is not if the BLM is targeted so position carefully.

    Statement: When the last 2 Higeas spawn, group them all together and caster LB2/3. With 2 both the 50% Higeas should be dead and the others will have 2 stacks on them making them easily killed as well. The Asclepeus should be by itself now with 4 stacks on it at ~65%, have your scholar switch to cleric stance, as WHM can easily solo heal the tank, and blast it down with all CD and damage that can be mustered. If done right all the snakes should be dead 6-7 seconds before Aetheric Profusion goes off.

    Thanks for the advice. I adviced my DPS to use Mega Potion of STR HQ too, we need all the DPS we can output. Probably going to have practice on Sunday, since it's Chinese New Year period for my static, they're probably off celebrating and getting drunk!

    I feel like I'm at the point where I haven't got past the blue boom, but I can somewhat confidently handle Phases 4 and 5 as the off-tank.

    Opinion: Snakes is the hardest phase of the fight, Twister and Egg bomb phases are much easier, once you regularly get past snakes, you are only a hop skip and a jump from clearing it. Good Luck!

    Thanks for the protip! My static is stuck on this part as well and we will try these methods during tonights practice.
