Reading up on the fight, i didn't realize that you can cast spells while in his crotch. I could have used a health pot and deathstrike to help with healing. I was so surprised that I was riding on his unit that I was frozen at my keyboard.

Your first time was probably a bit traumatic, seeing as he charged you and attacked you so suddenly.

Seriously though-
IGNIS STRATS
Let's post up our lessons learned here and stop dicking around. >.>;
My offerings:
* There is a timer for flame jets, so that casters can avoid getting silenced.
* We see where the constructs are lined up before being activated, so we know where the tanks will grab them from to turn them molten then quench and shatter them.
* OT's will not get put into Ignis' pot if they stay in melee with constructs; if you back off them (e.g. when quenched), you could experience what Mufhintop did.

- Whoever is assigned to heal the mush pot victim needs to stay in pretty close - I was out of range of the victim for just an instant, and then they died.
- Divine Guardian/Sacrifice is INCREDIBLE. I used it every 5 minutes and had no regrets.
- We need to treat flame jets like Malygos' vortex phase - we REALLY need to prioritize the tanks first, then get some spare heals in, since the raid damage almost exclusively comes from flame jets and people standing too close to molten constructs.
This sound about right?

...I couldn't handle it. I was then attacked by it, and I was killed.

A useful diagram for Ignis tanks:
Raid stays in the middle, the scorches get placed near the pools, molten guys taken to the outside and then a short hop to the pool, without anyone in the center being close enough to worry.
When someone gets stuck in his crotch, he runs to them, then runs back to the outside, so we don't have any problems on repositioning either.
