    TLDR: Tips for A4

    Hello friends,

    A4 is relatively simple, however running it in DF can be like pulling teeth, so I have compiled a short list of hot tips to help us all with our endless grind for shafts.
    • You can and should stun Perpetual Ray. It significantly reduces the damage. The legs will get all steamy, and they will temporarily not be immune to stun.
    • Everyone should intercept orbs when they can. There are no princesses here, no one cares about your Greased Lightning. I do recommend one healer stay in the centre to focus heal people between orbs however.
    • Healers, top off your OT before they get quarantined. If they die in quarantine, they die IRL.
    • DPS, you MUST intercept adds in P2. Two adds on your healer is a no-no. You may think you're helping by converging on one add and burning it down, but what you're actually doing is letting your healer build up stacks so they can explode and take you all with them when you eventually decide to saunter over.
    • Do not go near a healer during P3 at all. Ever.
    • If you are tethered, do NOT move. People can only intercept them if they are directly in between you and the laser thing.
    • The tank buster in P3 increases in damage the more times it is used (hint: cooldowns) and always comes after a double set of AoE circles (hint: healers).

    Happy shafting!

    Thank you I am still learning these fights as a healer. Only did them once last week.

    Also, focus target the manipulator after the first leg dies. Then you can see it casting emergency quarantine.

    When in doubt, assume sarcasm
