Hey everyone, it's your solo raid connoisseur and lately I've been quietly working on tutorial resources to help interested players understand ways to improve their pve performance in shortmanned situations. This is an advanced tier video for catch tanking which explores concepts such as:
– the tick/cycle system
– animation durations
– soft manipulating boss attack behavior
– energy
For those interested in more basic videos, I have made numerous introduction level videos for basic mechanics which can be found Here
Missed points from the video:
– I want to point out that at 5:01, bosses gain energy from a player casted charge move the moment the player casts the charge move, not when it lands. This is why it's important to pay attention to the text while casting sunsteel strike since it'll top off Kyurem with 100+ energy, during that 2.5s wait time. (since it does over 200 damage). Hence it would have the option of casting dragon breath or fusion flare much sooner than otherwise.
– I also say if the boss has 100 nrg, this is with reference to Fusion Flare in this video. In general it's if the boss has the required energy to cast its charge move at all.
I understand this is a niche concept which may not be interesting for various people however for in the name of game science & raid theory I think it is fun information to understand. Especially since fundamental understandings of the game help identify bugs that Niantic… really need to fix.
