is this a common occurrence?

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but if you had a tank that was getting a lot of poison stacks and other debuffs, that last fight is a little harder on SCH than on WHM since I believe SCH doesn't have something like WHM's Esuna, yet. I've had scholars easily heal the fight, but usually that is with competent dps and a good tank who knows how to dodge and try to avoid damage. From what you wrote, I think it was mostly a tank issue, especially since you did it with the replacement tank ^_^v

You are correct. I do not have leeches yet to remove the poison stacks so i pretty much have to spam physik the whole fight. I've done it successfully about a dozen times since that awful experience however, so I'm feeling more confident again lol.

It's actually possible to have the poison effect expire but requires you to time an Adlo to block all the damage from the spit he uses to refresh the stack. This can be a bit tricky as it's instantly cast, so you'll need to use instinct and experience to determine "when" he's about to use it.. It might not be worth the trouble but just some food for thought for you.

That's actually really good to know. I will have to practice that the next time i do that dungeon.

With a bit of creativity you can get through it. Heal through a few stacks and if they start getting ridiculous like 6-7 stacks you can use an antidote potion to remove it. You can target somebody and use potions on them so it's good to remove it with that halfway through the fight and take the pressure off.
