Soulblighter

Sorry if this isent the correct format for this:

Our guilds progressing on Felmyst at the moment, 9% our best attempt so far (enraged in the air) We are trying to maximize DPS and also trying to cope with a recurring issue. I know several people have posted on it but havent seen any concrete info on it so wanted to get your guys opinons/thoughts on it.

Im the Mage CL for my guild and we are having random issues with Invis breakage early when we are trying to dump threat during Air phase. Sometimes we manage a full Invis, other times only partial. I know several people have stated particular times and areas in which you can hit your invis effectivly but from what Iv seen its mainly after such and such time. I went thru our WWS logs of some of our attempts and came up with some interesting numbers which I can hope some of you might be able to shed some light upon.

(Sorry if this isent correct format for linking info, just dont want to link full WWS report pages which you have to scroll thru so I copy/pasted the Invis timers and Fume application info directly)

4 seconds after the Fumes clear and there is a reapplication.

Now compare this to our best attempt, 12 seconds between the last tick of the previous fumes there is a reapplication of the second. On the 13 try, there was 8 seconds between the Fume clearing and the reapplication. I can see the potential here for the Fumes to be apllied within certain ranges or position, from my understanding of the Fumes, its a debuff applied within 100 yards of Felmyst. Does this mean that the application is trigggered when she is 100 yards from a player to the whole raid or to all players within 100 yards of her position? Also does this mean that the debuff clears when she is out of range or is there a set amount of time the debuff lasts before it ticks off then is reapplied when she comes to within 100 yards of the raid? Basically if its an Aura effect and only applicable to anyone within 100 yards of her position, would simply waiting for the first dusting pass in which she flys to the opposite side of the raid zone, be the ideal time to get a little range (to be certain your out of the 100 yard range) and hit Invis allowing it to tick for full duration?

Again sorry if this is incorrect format, just want to better understand this mechanic so we dont keep wasting Invis's forcing a BOP or IB or potentially causing us to have to hold back on DPS until the MT regains control.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
