2) It greatly reduces the threat of double WW or even a 2nd double WW if dps is slow.

I use my Foresight + Thrill of Battle macro after Superna uses Friction - usually a good indication that Double Wicked Wheel is about to be used. Timing Inner Beast perfectly also helps.

If I'm OT, I pull Chirada with Overpower or Skull Sunder/Butcher's Block as you can have it built up for when Chirada + Superna arrive after Feather Rain; if I'm OT, I pull aggro from Superna using SS/BB. Theres no need to use Provoke on the Sisters once they first appear.

Spiney applying its debuff on a non-tank is acceptable, so long as MT pulls it after 2 stacks. I prefer it that the OT or non-MT members, pull Spiney at the start so that the MT can pull it later using Provoke while the OT uses his Provoke on Superna to prevent Double Wicked Wheel on right target again - especially helpful when you have melee dps.

Hope this helps OP.

It is food for though. As Monk, it's what I tended to do, knowing the tanks I rolled with would have to use Provoke at some point.


On another note: I finally tried tanking this a couple days ago. Apparently my PS3 can't handle Garuda. First time she jumped, she completely disappeared off my screen as a target, yet still remained on the enemies list. What was worse about this is the parties decided to make ME the MT. ¬_¬

Frankly, I'd feel a lot more comfortable OTing this instance because of said problem. I know that when sisters phase begins, Garuda returns on my screen. But if I were MTing, would it be easier to just aggro Suparna when she appears? I feel like I'd have full hate on Garuda and then I'd just have to focus on Suparna when she appears. My only problem is figuring out when either of them are readying Slipstream at the same time. Because I know when I pull Sup, she'll react on a whole different timer than Garuda since Garuda has a small invinc moment before coming after MT, putting both of their timings off from each other.

Thoughts?
