    So the strat for Zurvan Ex....

    A lot of video kills ive seen dps push him to 75% and tank lb the 2nd soar. A lot of party finders i see require you to have i260 gear. I understand why now..... after trying to learn in raid finder, soar just makes me want to shoot myself. I dont understand why that mechanic is my wall, it looks so easy... Guess ill just have to wait three weeks till i get my ilvl up.

    Soar is easy though >< spread out, you can overlap markers, but not people, avoid the dashes, there is more than enough room and unlike the spread mechanic in A10S which is similar, they give you aoe circles you can see ><

    JP Datacenter players do Soar normally.

    Basically there are 2 safe zone patterns, one is where first Soar spread evenly, second is where it stacked on one side. For first pattern everyone just go to their pre determined position. For the second one, you need slight position adjustment for 2 people.

    I think it's mostly the 2nd pattern that most people failed to do. Just think of it like that Scathach 2 quarter circles attack move, where there are 2 big safe zones for you to dodge in.

    Y Asterisk shape - 1 person in each gap, easy to deal with, when the lines come out just find the edge of the line closest to your spot and stand there.
    L Ribbon pattern - 3 people on each side

    Healers are floaters so they can stack on top of anyone.

    People skip because usually too lazy to call sides and the spacing can get pretty bad sometimes. Usually one of two things happen if sides are actually called and the ribbon mechanic fails to resolve properly.
    1) The two people that are supposed to be on the edges for the ribbon aren't close enough to the edge so people get blown up.
    2) The person in the middle is not in the middle so one of the people on the edges moves to prevent overlapping but they stand in the dash and die.

    Tank LB2 soar is just easier to LB since tethers come up right after and if people are dead you don't get enough debuffs so after that you either have to raise them all so they can sac and die or you just wipe because not enough bodies to soak pillars.

    Easy way to determine Soar positions is to split the group into four. One set of tank, healer and two DPS go one direction while the other goes opposite. You adjust from there.
