Rage over Sophia

[Crysten]

OP, there's already a thread for people to rage at how bad the PF/RF/DF is.

People consider Sophia to be easy just because of how damn forgiving it is. A guy can go into that fight blind, follow the crowd and dodge 90% of all mechanics successfully. People can fall off and get raised. Tank busters are a complete non-issue as the offtank should already be tanking it if you die anyway.

Any other extreme primal - a screwup usually results in a wipe.

After tanking her nigh 100 times, the only realistic ways a tank could die to tank busters is:

a) Non-use of cooldowns (a simple rotation of Rampart/Sheltron and Sentinel/Sheltron on PLD, Vengence and Raw Intution/Thrill of Battle on WAR is more than enough).
b) Your off tank isn't provoking it quickly enough, or you're not tank swapping correctly (as in you Rage of Haloned or something during the swap and kept hate after the voke)
c) Your healers didn't top you off after Cintamani. Virus, Stoneskin et. al is nice, but not required.
d) You kept screwing up mechanics and have vulnerability stacks. More than 2 can screw you up.
e) I see this a lot with DPS but you raise at a stupid moment (ie: just before tilts or a Cintamani) and die again nigh immediately, meaning you're dead during the next tank swap.

If Sophia is enough to make the OP cry out of frustration, they shouldn't be doing extremes.
