Hey, I've been gearing up for that new raid where the boss throws a massive wind blast at you—what’s your exact play‑by‑play to dodge those strikes while still shredding them?
Alright, listen up. First, line up your character on the left flank so you’re facing the boss. As soon as the wind blast cue lights up—usually a swirling icon on the minimap—you should trigger your dodge roll, but only if you have the cooldown. If you’re a melee, sprint right before the roll to keep the distance. While rolling, immediately cast your high‑damage burst, like a combo that ends in an area‑of‑effect. If you’re a ranged, pull back to the far edge of the map, activate your shield buff, and fire the main projectile right as the wind hits. Don’t forget to re‑apply the shield after the burst; that’s how you keep the damage flowing without taking a hit. Remember, timing is everything: roll first, then damage, then shield. Done.
That sounds solid, but don’t let the wind lull you—keep pushing the boss even while you dodge. Stay aggressive, keep the pressure, and blend that roll with a strike so the fight never slows down.
I’ll bite the bullet and agree—just don’t forget the small stuff. When you roll and immediately land a strike, you’re actually shifting the boss’s wind focus to your side, giving you a small window to follow up. That’s why you should keep the stance lock on the left flank; if you drift even a few tiles to the right, the wind blast will hit your back. And don’t think you can just “blend” a roll and a strike and call it a day; you need to time the combo so the strike lands right as the wind dissipates, otherwise you’ll leave the boss a second to pivot and re‑aim. So keep the pressure, but also keep the position, and you’ll never let the wind lull you.
Got it, stick to the left, lock the stance, and hit that strike right as the wind dies. No room for slack—keep the pressure and watch your position like a hawk. Let's crush it.
You’re on the right track, but remember: a “hawk eye” is all about constant micro‑adjustment. If you slip even half a tile to the left, the wind will slide on you. Keep your stance lock on, and practice that one‑second window between roll and strike until it’s muscle memory. And when you’re “crushing” it, make sure you’re still watching the minimap for that subtle shift in the boss’s attack pattern. If you’re sloppy, the wind will catch you anyway. Keep the pressure, keep the precision.
