bombs come with a circular warning on the ground. If u dont watch them out it feels like bombs spawn too late before his fixate.
I guess who he fixates is random but if you stand close to those circles before bombs spawn (not on top of them obviously), it takes most of “randomness” out of the fight. You dont really need to run around so much this way. If boss chooses u and runs, he will most likely hit the bomb. Chose the circle with some distance away from the boss.
Holy paladin and mistweaver monk are melee attack healers with consideration as melee, despite their ability to heal at distance. It also allows for variety in tactics and placement.
What I always do, and I’m not sure if it helps, at pull not the be the furthest ranged. Usually it picks another person, but could just be random. Of course then I’m able to heal that character.
I just find this fight having a randomness to it. WE do have Ank, so I try to keep that in mind
