Lev 71 BLM trouble with trust dungeon

[Rongway]

I find that the npcs stand on the worse side when the boss goes into "spin-it-to-win-it" mode. During the spin mechanic there is a dot effect if you stand too close to the mob, a huge 1/3 of the arena rear conal attack and a slow traveling series of aoes from the front of the mob. the npcs all like to stand to the mobs left (from the perspective of the boss) as he spins clockwise. I find it much easier to stand to his right.

The left is safer because you can see the rocks jut out of the ground and run into the animation. If you're on the right, the left rock juts out, then the right rock juts out, and if you're judging things by the left rock, the right rock will hit you.

If the NPCs are at his 8 o'clock, stand at his 9 o'clock. Advance a little more than the NPCs each time. It's safe to run into a rock that's already visible; once the animation appears, the damage is done. Since you're on the trailing side, a new rock won't pop up underneath you by the time you get there.

In this game it's always safer to be on the trailing edge of a spin because of how the timing between damage and animation works.

I don't judge by the rocks at all. I step just inside the huge rear conal everytime it disappears.
