Speed Run Help - Stand still or run back and forth/around?

[Synestr]

It has been my experience to avoid the AoE's and specials (cones, radials, etc) when speedrunning. Makes heals happy, happy heals = smooth run imo. For first pull in bray HM, I grab everything and run to the log just past the bridge, staying outside range of dirty bush and monkey. Going there eliminates the big bomb from the gobbie tank, then I'll position my camera overhead and zoomed out so i can see all those lovely special indicators, move as needed, but stay as tight as you can. The better the mobs are grouped the faster the DPS can burn them down. After that first pull, the rest of the trash pulls are just standing there, no moving.

If you don't stay out of AoE's and get an unfortunate chain of crits and fall, well we all know what happens next. WHAAAA! So the DPS can suck it up for one pull so you all can proceed.

Just how I do it and my thoughts on it.

I have gone up to the top of the ramp and the gobbiemachine still attacks, does it really not attack if you go to that log? Thats really good to know.

That is correct. Go past where your going just a bit, not far enough to aggro those two, just in the space past the gate and before the log. No gobbie boom boom.

Also you don't have to pull that last courel if you don't want. If you have everyone gather to the left of the boss door and tank every thing there the courel will not aggro anyone. Excuse the crude diagram:

The courel will come up to just outside the gate, so if your not near it set up like this he won't aggro. That's only if you don't wanna hill him ^^
