CT's Bone Dragon and managing "Evil Eye"/"Chaos Breath"

[Traek]

I'm glad there is some discussion on this, thanks for bringing it up Maelwys. First of all I've seen both the AoE go off and the Chaos Breath. So no, silencing or stunning isn't the issue. When the icon is above the tanks head, they are getting hit by it unless the boss dies. I usually silence it on BRD, or save Brutal Swing on Warrior for it. I'll stun on other jobs as well if I get the chance. It might not effect the tank, but often times random people end up in the huge cone areas from previous phases and it should always be Stun/Silenced for their sake at least. It always happens at the same time, so its easy to predict and have Spirit's Within or simply stun for.

As far as mitigation, I feel the same as you Maelwys. I am positive CDs aren't helping for it, and I believe the attack is health % based. I have tested it out with Thrill of Battle before the hit, and it just increases the damage done, bringing me down to roughly the same % I was if I hadn't used it. I also noticed it hitting me for close to 8k with ToB use which is definitely more then without. Vengeance/IB don't seem to matter either, and I've stacked all three with the same end result. This seems to be something healers just need a PSA on if you MT, as they are usually trying not to pull hate on Eyes, and snoozing through most of it otherwise.

With the split damage like Triumpherate I'm not sure. Never tried to stand on another tank. I thought I've seen it with no effect, but would be good to deliberately test out for sure.

*Edit* Also not sure why you think it makes Warrior the better tank for it. Just popped Hallowed after it goes off and you'll be up before it wears off. Seems to effect both tanks equally, and IB/SP after the fact is pretty minimal difference. Lol

I'd be interested to see a tank swap at the time. Get a friend in a group with you and have them voke when the icon is above your head, then just run real far out. Wonder if he'll just chase you down and hit you with it, or if it will range you as well.
