2 things I want people to pay attention to:
1) for swopping of debuff
Orange marks are approximately where the first round of changes happens. What I would like to see is the incoming person (one who is taking over the kiting) waits in the path of the person kiting (see 1, 2 or 3). The person who is kiting runs up to them, transfers, and then breaks away in towards the center, obviously avoiding bad stuff (TM) where possible, and that leaves the new kiter a free run straight on, continuing the last kiters path. This way we can avoid accidental transfers and stray puddles out where the raid is.
The other thing to note in this diagram is the bottom left and top right corners. Those are the 2 corners where you want to "get ahead" of garalon, so if you are kiting around those areas, those are the 2 corners you want to cut.
2) kiting path planning
I got this idea watching the strat video for Garalon. A priest kites the debuff in this way, and I have found it to work for me. I have tried to explain it to a number of folks, but I think this will help.
The person who starts kiting needs to set up. What you need to do is get out in front of garalon as far and as fast as you can. But you cant always tell where he is as it involves stopping to look and there is no time for that. So what do you do?
You pull from the short side where we usually do it, and go straight along the short wall, dropping pools as you go. Remember he has all legs active so he is pretty fast at this point, but what you dont want to do is leave huge gaps between pools cos he will be that much faster. So go along that wall and cut the first corner as shown. You can continue straight for a bit on that first long side until he does the aoe conal thing and you can then tell how far he is from you. Once you are out in front, try to drop pools in a zigzag pattern as shown. Obviously the diagram is exaggerated, what you want is for the pools to overlap slightly, that way you arent standing in one when it goes active, but you are using the least possible space. Why do you want to kite in a zig zag? Because on the long sides, it keeps him in a predictable pattern as long as possible. Use the corners and short side runs to keep out ahead of him. And keep in mind point 1).
Cheers Elu.
