    While placing anyone in a conflag making them invincible may seem like an exploit, the consequences of not defeating the conflagration in time will kill everyone in side of it thus creating a risk/reward mechanic. If the conflag bursts with your tank inside you're essentially going to wipe. I'm not SE and this is just my opinion. If you place your tank in the conflag and then sleep it I would consider that an exploit.

    That is so unbelievably cheesy until you get to the twister phase.

    But you pulled the last bit off pretty well, so good job.

    Except it's not risk/reward, there are no healing debuffs going out on the tank and no healing period to be done, healers can dps conflags. Boss is literally flying there doing nothing, if a boss isn't able to hit the highest person on threat, it should go find something else to beat on even if just the offtank. The fact that she does nothing clearly shows a bugged script since she really just stops working in that time and this is exploitable. This is just as bad as sleeping the conflags and having them never go off. This fight has way too many gimmicky mechanics that are either bugged/exploited or terribly designed. I'm leaning towards the latter.
