Mountain Buster

This happens at 1 or 2 stacks.
I think that using cooldowns for MB is important. As a healer i try to use adloquium, but sometimes it is not enough, and virus/eye4eye cannot be used for every of them.

That looks more like a 3-stack+ MB; I normally swap at 2-stacks (or when stacks wear off on the other tank) with my OT, but we're never in danger (running 8k~8.4k EHP each) outside of 3 stacks with no CDs up. I'm not saying we don't use CDs or that they're not necessary, but shit happens and Titan's rotations are annoying as hell to track if phases last too long.

From my experience this happens a lot during the 2nd MB after heart (1st bomb pattern spawn -> landslide -> MB), when tank should have 1 stack.
I have few theories, one is about boss damage going up with echo (raw damage was 12589 on sc), other one is about boss skills being changed in 2.2
I will keep an eye if MT ever stands with 3 stacks past heart, because this damage is too high to take unmitigated.

Haha, what the hell, a 13k MB at one/two stacks? No way.

More like a 2 stack with gaolers alive.

Aha, I completely forgot about the buff they give to Titan, good catch.

I was unaware of this (never targeted titan), any details on the buff?
Yes gaolers are usually alive when this happens.

[Skull_Angel]

The Gaolers give Titan a determination buff (strength depending on proximity, iirc); I've never quite noticed the level of damage they added to MB due to our phase changes being in-consistent (partial static), but I wouldn't rule it out (hitting 2 stacks and having Gaolers spawn is just bad luck).

[SeraviEdalborez]

I'd ballpark it at a 50% damage increase. To the point that you should treat it like it's +2 stacks on yourself.

Or more to the point, that the DPS is bad. If both gaolers aren't dead.

To be specific, you see a yellow tether between Titan and the gaolers as he does Granite Gaol if they are not yet dead; this is your last chance to kill them before buff Buster.

Never got this much MB. Inner beast and its easy.
