    Turn Six Help

    Hey all!

    Just wanted to get some advice on Turn Six. My raid group is consistent on getting to the third phase, but shortly after that we wipe.

    I'm playing OT as a PLD, and pick up the slugs. The problem occurs right after that, as I tend to get killed right after that due to large damage amounts. Literally like five or six seconds after getting aggro I get killed.

    Anyone know what might be causing this? It's not like I can blame it on the healers, as I will have full HP and then within a second or two I get knocked out.

    I also wanted to note that my ilvl is 94 and I have over 7k hp without food buffs, so I don't think my stats are an issue.

    Thanks in advance!

    Are you guys feeding or burn?

    There can be a lot of damage going out in that phase, use cooldowns, convalescence is especially nice at the start. Kite the slugs around a bit while spamming flash as healers adjust to all the aoe damage and get you topped. Make sure you are not hitting the slimes with flash, they will get pissed and hit you hard. If you are doing feed method then feel free to use big cooldowns like sentinel right away, hallowed is all you need for the giant slug.

    If you are doing burn I'd highly suggest just using mage LB and killing first set of slugs while doing some damage to boss. If you can't manage to kill with burn without melee LB3 then you're just going to have to rotate cooldowns the entire time and hope your healers can keep you up. There's not a real trick to it.

    We are feeding... wait, the slimes can attack you? That's probably what the issue is then, I tend to flash the slugs right after they spawn so I can get aggro on them. I had no clue the slimes actually did anything, other than sit there waiting to be eaten.

    If I don't aggro the slimes, will they auto aggro on someone else and attack them? Or will they only attack if you attack or flash them?

    Slimes I'll counter attack any action with about 3k worth of damage. As long as nobody touches them, they're golden. It's worth noting Foes Requiem does not trigger the counter attack. When slugs spawn you have a few seconds to spam flash on them and run back to the group for Acid Rain before slimes spawn

    Once the slimes spawn litterally hitting them with ANYTHING will make them counter and hit you for a huge ammount of dmg, this includes flash even tho it does no dmg. Otherwise they just sit there and do nothing just giving you poison stacks until one of the slugs gets low and trys to eat them. So just worry about getting aggro on the slugs, the slimes do nothing and pop HG when one of the slugs turns into a super slug.

    The slimes don't do anything except cast a stacking debuff if they're not eaten by the slugs. Ideally you should gather all the slugs, mark one to be damaged, and do whatever you can to hold them on you. Everyone except MT should be stacked on you for Acid Rain (which spawns the slimes) so they're close together when they spawn. Everyone runs out of this, focuses down the marked slug, then the weak slug should eat all 3 slimes. (make sure you don't kill the slug before it eats them) After the slug eats the slimes you have about 10 seconds to kill it or it'll blow up and wipe the raid. OT will need big heals through this (or you could use Hallowed Ground as mentioned above) and ideally you'll have your melee DPS LB it.

    After that, my group typically has the OT stack behind the boss and we'll have our casters AOE the boss and the other two slugs down, then focus on the boss. If you get a second set of slugs your OT needs to pick them up and hold them until the boss is dead.

    The slimes only spawn once, correct? So after the first super slug, we should be good if we kill the other two, then I kite the second set of slugs after they spawn?

    Second set of slimes will spawn with second set of slugs, it is a repeat of the start of the phase. (Slugs > Acid Raid) Make sure to stack properly for this again, you don't want slimes on top of boss and getting hit by a stray aoe.

    However unless you have a lot of deaths/dps is really low, you should kill her well before slime debuff gets high so you can still just kite slugs and kill her without worrying about doing a second round of feeds.

    That confuses me XD First you say to Spam flash on the slugs, then you say not to use Flash.
