Tank-specific tips for Extreme Primals

[Versiroth]

The safest bet is to rage of halone chirada, provoke and shield lob spiny at start followed by flash and circle of scorn. Depends on your DPS, MT will either provoke spiny off you first or you provoke Suparna off him first. There's really no need for melee to risk it with Wicked Wheel.

I'm still learning this fight, for sure, but I just find that too many things can go wrong here. For instance, I've had the DD pull Chirada off of me when I tabbed to provoke spiny. I RoH as soon as she appeared, CoS, RoH (Both uncomboed.. just trying to get some quick threat so I could grab spiny quickly), tabbed to spiny, provoked, lobbed, ran toward my corner and Chirada turned and raced towards the Bard before I could do anything else. I also once had a situation where I provoked both spiny and Chirada and Chirada died fast, the MT provoked the spiny and I had to wait for Suparna. Once Provoke was up, I grabbed Suparna. She died quickly and once the circle phase started again, the spiny went to the MT and I had to wait another 10 second or so before my provoke came off CD. The problem here was that the DD were stacked on Garuda to AOE the plumes. I had to scream and <se.2> that I couldn't provoke yet so they wouldn't go crazy and kill the spiny with AOEs.

I've just found that certain parameters can make swapping unreliable. It's a lot safer for melee and it takes a little pressure off the MT, but the timing can really get weird.
