Ive never thought about MCH LB2... Does it really hit the other Gawker and Piggies? That's rather interesting...

As for Swindler adds, I prefer holding the GK in the opener and stack up 30s. This way, I can do DFD + GK + x2/3 RoT, SSD back to Swindler on the opposite side and still not lose BOTD. Vortexer is the one fight where I lose a lot of DPS. Maybe I'll just get greedy on this weeks kill and not stack with Compressed Water... (We do 5-stack, just to play it safe)
My group is still on Swindler. D: I'll have to see Vortexer when I get there. We Mage LB the adds in Swindler, since it's safer and such, and we're all about the safety strats, so I just have time for 1 gsk + dfd before the LB hits. I can probably drop a Ring of Thorns there, but I'd rather just not risk it. On our good pulls (where we get to hop 1-2-3 with no waiting), I'm sitting at 1750+ according to ACT when we wipe to the snipers.

And yeah, we hold the boss in the Southeast, MCH sets up at the Southwest and just does dps on the boss until Oogle. Dodge that, MCH LB3 - everything dies. With LB2, I think the Gawkers live with a sliver of health that goes away the next gsk I hit. The far one gets picked off by the MCH in those cases. He targets the boss with the LB, and stands behind the far Gawker, afaik, WHM stacking in on the MT to drag all the pigs to the slaughter.

And the worst part about screwing up that B4B before second Boost is that it then comes back TOO SOON in the following tiny phase, so it doesn't catch the DFD+gsk on the pigs, and I have myself trained too well so I forget to hold it and just tap it and get sad.


Also, do you hold your DFD in the opener? I tend to not use it there and save it for the first snake. Next one comes up sometime later, and the one after that I hold for pigs. I never thought about the whole Spineshatter thing for first Prey, though... and I always have it ready. I feel really dumb lol. I'll hit CT>4th on the boss and then run after him and hit PS+Leg on the run, Jump+SSD (with gcd spins) once I'm behind him. S M R T.
