Says enough that it basically requires extreme overgear or using a melee LB every single sister phase -- you can ALWAYS zerg Suparna if you're going so far as to use LB.
    Triangle does increase the coordination requirement, specifically for DPS, but I don't see how it requires more DPS. It's possible to position the garudas so that stacks remain at one at all times without anyone moving over tornados. If you can zerg a sister with LB1 before wheels happen I'd say you're overgearing the content already, in which case most of the strategy doesn't even matter so is it really worth discussing?

    The one thing I've noticed with the triangle method is that if all dps don't gather for downburst, it's a wipe. Likewise, if a dps with emnity faces her toward the healers and they aren't paying attention...they wipe to slipstream.
