I just cleared it today with my group with what we think was a proper strategy (handling the adds rather than lb/ignoring them) and to be honest, it felt so much better.

What is your take on this, people? The fight feels awfully wrong when you burn through that last phase, I can't believe that would have been intended by the devs...

Other concerns, you can ignore the vacuum mechanism by out-ranging it, which feels totally broken and unintented
I can see your point about the adds and making it cleaner, but I can also see the argument of it being no different than Turn 1 when you don't feed the snakes anymore. If you brute force it, you have to be able to push out some decent DPS to beat the "enrage" of this method, so I definitely don't see this being like the "enrage" method for Turn 2.
