Sorry for hijacking your thread but anyone know how to deal with Aetheric Boom?

You have to share the damage with people.

The orbs are linked... walking into either end will pop them. You need a couple people to talk into them together so no one dies. If any linked orbs touch it is game over.

There is 2 links, then 3, then 4. For the 4 links we used tank LB (wtf? inorite...) and split the groups up into sections. I am sure it could be done without the tank LB but it made it way easier. There is very little time to deal with those 4 before they kill you.

It is possible that tanks could eat more of them but our method worked so we didn't test anything else.
