Sastasha HM Help

If your party fails at that mechanic more than 2 times and they r aware of tht mechanic then u really need to call em out and say dps is piss or dumb.
Cuz i had a group where the tank told them to hit the boss due to the mechanics and they just went on failing wipe after wipe.
The captain shot me for
All my hp which is a whooping
6.6k hp ( no food) + stoneskin ( so another 1.2k hp or so) + a benediction at 500ish hp + a swiftcast stoneskin.
So thats around a total of 14k hp of dmg done.... To a healer.

vit spec healer.. I'm baffled at how scrub this is...

Is it possible to get out of the way of Madson's sword swipe after he dashes at you? Not that I've ever had a problem dying to the mechanic, but just wondering how to avoid it if it's possible.

Right, cause calling people names is the best way to get them to pay attention to what you're saying.

How about just explaining the mechanic more clearly? Are you certain they understood?

[Nyalia]

I thought for the first boss, it was just: tank interrupts Tail Screw. If Tank gets the Prey debuff, they pass it off to a DPS so they are not stunned when the Tail Screw happens.

Is there really any more to it than that? Are you saying that the stun itself can be esunaed if you leave the prey on the tank?

[Lovemonster]

You can't esuna stun.

You can pass off the prey to a DPS to stun tail screw but it's much more simpler to have the tank stunned and have the healer esuna/leeches the DoTs. This only works if the party is spread out. Tail screw only brings the target to a critically low amount of HP so that the DoT will kill them so if you remove the DoT tail screw doesn't need to be stunned and can be dealt with easily.

[LalaRu]

First boss: tail needs be stunned. 4th shot cannot be stunned and healer needs be aware of that. If there are dps with interrupts, no need to care the prey target, who haven't will interrupt.

Second boss: dps must do their job, and healer not required to heal more than usual. If asked for emergency heals, all dps fault.

Third boss: prepare popcorn and something to drink, will be a long battle.

[Cynfael]

Again, the tail screw is irrelevant if the healer does their job and players don't stack together. Stun is a convenience to save having to heal someone up, but the whole mechanic is just a healing jump scare.

[DarkerOrange]

As said above, just esuna/leeches the debuff off your party. You have plenty of time to do so before the move is used (as long as people don't stack up).

Thanks for the help I went in the day after I posted this and we cleared it no problem it would appear I got a bad group.
