Ok so we're having a few issues with the aoe circles. My pf groups most successful method is this. Purple stays on ass. Meele on the edge of that and range/healers to the wall. Now generally. I go straight back for easy heal location. Let's think of it kinda like shiva ex. Ill be straight back outter edge. Sol straight back inside edge by purple. Merc right outter edge. Cloude right inner edge. Shri left inner edge Hannah outer left edge. Kahlan then takes the open area beside me. Essentially a pyramid shape with purple being the top 1,3,4. That's the best method and easiest I've had groups run.
Also here's how the 180 cleave works. It's a 180 degree cleave. But it starts at his elbows essentially. So u can go directly right or left just as long as u are behind the elbows. It took a few times but I can stack literally on the edge of it now.
Now for the Aoe's. U can overlap them slightly: about 1/5 or 1/4 of ur circle is able to over lap. Also when on the edge of the purple. Ur Aoe's can overlap as long as your characters hitbox is not in the purple you won't get hit by both. So they're is room to maneuver just get used to the distances.. If u do get hit by 2, essentially your going to die. If I don't have swiftcast up. No way around it. It's either I let you die or the party heals suffer and others die. Just raid awareness. If u get to the wall and someone else starts stacking u don't move stay still and they are responsible to adjust from you. The pyramid is the easiest tho.
I get it. I'm just slightly frustrated that we have to assign spots. I understand it may be necessary, but damn… I was running in a PF group last night after you left Josh and not a single person ate an AOE. Like EVER. Purple on ass though is pretty much the running norm at this point though.
And to clarify what Josh is saying, the greens can overlap. You just can't have two greens overlapping your char. With this in mind, you'd be surprised how many green AOE's you can fit into a small area.
Yea I know merc ive had my share of groups that either totally get it or totally don't get it lol. I'm hoping ppl knowing they can overlap slightly will help a lot.
So let's move forward. We'll go ahead and assign spots. I would like to begin discussing strat for P3. Just a head's up, I'm pretty sure I have the whole fight's rotation committed to memory now… so I don't mind doing callouts. For Yesod's, I'll just say "twisters" since I assume everyone knows how to handle that.
Yeah p3 is generally pretty straight forward for the most part. But yeah do callouts. I'm pretty sure if we can manage to sort out the Aoe's and down adds I don't think ppl will have much of an issue in p3 as its just move on move out stack unstack.
