Volenfell Autopsy

NBrookus

Ran the Silver Pledge last night as a tank. Everything went smooth until the Guardian Council. We didn't die & the baddies did -- but I felt like the weak link. The floor was a wash of red so it went something like this:

Taunt
Run away in circles trying to avoid too much red
Shielded Assault
Run/dodge back and try to find a clear spot for healing and regen
Taunt
Run away
(repeat)

It seemed like a lot of time I was standing there not doing anything. In retrospect, I should have been swapping weapons and using my bow during that time; my bow damage is weak since I'm just leveling it, but it would have been more productive than scratching my butt waiting for stam to regen.

But I'm not sure this last group of bosses should be tanked at all. Taunting them didn't seem to help. Should I have just gone into damage dealer mode instead?

That fight is chaotic.

We usually focus on the yellow first because he heals, and then switch to whichever of the other two is lowest health.

But yeah, I don't think they can actually be tanked.

I thought they healed each other and balanced points periodically? Or has that mechanic been changed?

So much stuff was flying around the screen I couldn't even see what my group was doing. Maybe I was helping by keeping the red one (mostly) occupied. Next time I think I'll show up with Bow/2H, though, and maybe slot Inner Fire in case my healer is getting chased.

When I did this one before non-vet, the centurions activated one at a time. I'm not sure if that was a glitch, but it made the fight much easier!

Yellow heals, blue shocks/CC's, red twirls in hot pursuit.
