Of Tanking and WoD

[Sadana]

In a perfect world maybe.

But dammit big roegadyn warrior in coerl gold swimsuit NEEDS to MT but poor hyur highlander paladin with barely iLV95 already announced MT!

Don't need a perfect world, though. :/ This is how we break down strategies in the JP data center I'm on.
You don't announce... each team gets certain mobs; team B gets the boss (unless B's MT is new and really wishes they RNG'd into team A or C and asks another team to take over.) If you wanted to tank the bosses and aren't in B, aww, better luck next time.

I don't like this strategy due to all the time DPS waste waiting to get small, waiting to get eaten, and waiting to zone in and out. People say it's faster, but it doesn't make any sense to be faster with so much DPS time lost.

It mostly faster because it causes Cerb to fall into his Awakening state which each time he falls he loses 30% of his HP. His Stomach walls have low HP and Defense so they're easy to burn down fast which would cause him to lose 30% of his HP easily.

If all DPS know can burn through Cerbs insides fast enough then he can lose that 30% HP within a easy 10 to 15 seconds.

Part of the speed is to remember Cerb's spit pattern being Phase 1 Cerb place the Orb on 1 person and then Spit the Purple stuff after and in Phase 2 he Spits the Purple Stuff 1st then place the Orb 2nd.
