Buff Mist Dragon plz

[Maeka]

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.

Yes, that's the gist of it. The player who has the marker should get away from their teammates and HOPEFULLY find a section of the arena that's closest between the dragon and the edge, because the dragon is going to leave puddles of ice on the ground in a straight line all the way to the edge of the arena, and anybody that steps on one is getting the DoT (which does about 7k a tick).

And pray you don't dump a puddle on the exact location a head is going to pop during his mist form.

I've had so many DPS dumping those stupid ice breaths on me as a healer, that it gets frustrating. I can't esuna+full heal 2 people within 4 seconds before he does his next Rime Wreath without blowing cooldowns. If I don't Esuna, the Rime Wreath is painfully close to killing somebody if I just use Medicas because 2 ticks is 14k damage which is like 40% of my health.

EDIT: The best way to deal with that, is for the tank to take the dragon to the edge of the platform, and tank him one way (his back facing the edge), and whoever gets the marker should get behind the dragon, so that only -1- puddle is formed at the very edge of the arena. That way, everybody else can stay in the middle of the Arena. If the tank gets hit with his frontal cone breath, he can drag the dragon around the outside edge of the arena as needed. If everybody is in the middle, they can drop those stupid stars there, and move up towards the dragon to get far enough away to dodge the spokes.
