    Many people do not realize that when a target appears on the screen, aoe abilities could have landed on them for a second or two beforehand, based on when their "enemy party list" HP is visible. If you know exactly where they will appear, you can do an early flash/circle, and even a (uncharged) Rage of Halone/Spirits within to boost initial hate on them the moment they appear.

    Doing so should reliably allow them to chase you to the corner of the arena, whether you use lob or not, meaning faster positioning, no dps yoyoing, and faster kills on the adds.

    Both MT and OT should know exactly where to stand and when to circle/flash to do this with 100% reliability each time the phase change occurs.

    This also applies to other adds, such as knight/soldier in t4, and even the egis.

    As for Titan Egi, I personally precharge my halone combo on titan, and land RoH on the west egi the moment it spawns. Next, Spirits Within/circle it, and run east, uncharged rage of halone on east, followed by flash spam on both. For this to reliably work, it is very helpful for a melee (mnk/drg) to intentionally tank the east egi for the first few seconds.
