Try that again at minimum I-level with a PUG and tell me how easy it is.
If you were talking about me, then you have me wrong. My gear is a mix of ridoranna, augmented mendacity(including weapon)... one or two pieces from sigma normal that i never found upgrades for that i liked?... and 1 piece from the current tier(necklace from alphascape) - which puts my ilvl at 363 or 364. So far this patch i have run everything via DF with random people. And while some of my friends re-assure me that i play well enough to do savage runs, i lack the patience for it(and my schedule is too erratic for most statics anyway) and have 0 clears on anything from when it was current. If you werent talking about me, forgive my vanity and disregard everything here.

If its the marker that im thinking of, then im pretty sure(95%) that he's indicating that he's getting ready to turn in that players direction to fire off his breath line. Ideally you want to point that line at as little of the platform as possible(from him off the edge is ideal), as it leaves behind puddles. When ive been targetted, i quickly position myself to minimize those puddles, then as soon as the attack goes off i run out of the way in the direction of the healer(to make sure im in heals range). I take the initial hit, but im not in the puddle long enough to take further damage(not sure if ive been avoiding a DoT or the healers ive been with have been clearing them for me). Thats whats worked for me, but if someone has better info ill happily defer.
