The clouds on the floor 30 boss need telegraphs.

As the topic says, I've done this boss a few times and I cannot for the life of me figure out the cloud mechanic.

If you're going to say "the first clouds summoned are the safe spot" then don't bother, because I've watched the clouds several times and every time there's been no indication of where the safe spot is. Every cloud he summons calls lightning and the safe spot doesn't appear visible until after the lightning has already gone out, making it impossible to get to the safe spot in time.

Any useful advice would be appreciated!

It works like the balloon mechanic in Xephatol. You have to stand directly under one, and when the proximity looking attack goes off it will flip your character and remove it.

Pretty much this. First comes Cloud Call, where the clouds all appear in the same spots. Then the Proximity Marker, at which point you should get underneath the West or East one (assuming the boss is at North), and you should be able to pop the cloud so you can take zero vuln stacks. It's easy, with or without the mention of the big aoe the boss likes to do right afterward (which you don't even need Sprint for if you went East or West like I said).

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Note, you need to be in the outside ring to avoid being hit completely, the inside ring will still hit you even if you remove one because they overlap.
