Tank Swaps how to do it right?

[Seif]

Also the coil 1 split is confusing because for some reason I can't tell which one I should get. I'm usually ot in c1.

Also I'm war but I have cross class skills up to provoke.

That's easy.
1. Just keep attacking (debuffing) the boss until you approach the split.
2. Acitvate Defiance and start building hate combo up to Skull Sunder or Butcher's Block until Caduceus splits.
3. Press whatever button you use to switch through hostile targets. This will target the split.
4. Provoke, combo attack, start running, Tomahawk till you are in position, keep using hate combo or Storm's combo as needed.

Is "stun" you're talking about a skill or a side effect of one? I can't seem to find it.
Also I'm using voke in garuda ex after I've dealt with chirada and am picking up suprana. Sometimes she loses interest in me halfway on our way to SE spot and this usually results in a wipe

That's Brutal Swing.
Also, never use Provoke as single skill. It doesn't generate enmity itself, it just increases your enmity to the highest level of the party.
Hit the sister with Tomahawk till you get it to your position (2-3 should be enough usually) or run close to use a hate combo attack to really grab it.

…… you have to Provoke the second snake? Usually I just switch targets and 2 tomahawks is enough to get its attention for me.

In my experience, the easiest way to grab the new snake as OT is this: When you see the "water" splash off CAD's back he is going to split. After you see that stack on MT, and right when the split happens, flash+AoE move (I am pld so I usually do Flash+Circle of Scorn). Im not positive, but the new snake is usually the second one on the enemy list. SO stack on tank, when you see it pop, the mt should be moving already, pop flash and a AOE move, flash+Tomahawk then settle in. Remember voke only puts you even with highest threat+1. SO using it to grab the split after you have popped a few threat builders isn't beneficial as you have really gained nothing from it. If you were to use it, I see it being more effective after tossing a lot of threat moves at it and it's not budging or if heals get a crit on you and deserves CAD's attention ^.~

For the most part though use that strat, you should get much cleaner splits.

I tend to mark the initial snake with a '1'. Makes it easy at the split if I'm the 'first' tank. If I'm second tank? Circle of Scorn and Flash are enough to get the new snake's attention without getting the old snake's attention.
