Which way are doing it?

Easiest way is to swap red and green beams between the tanks. Don't worry too much about the healer buff shouldnt be required. Get people to bandage themselves after the aoe efforts and run out to the windows and back.
Extremely tank intensive fight, got very little to do with anyone else. Just make sure the tanks get in there early after he phases out, intercept/charge or whatever tanks moves you have to close the distance, dunno if pally's have something like that or not.

that's exactly how we're doing it

I think the last 3 times we wiped was due to odd things like

- dps starting before tank was in red beam or tank stepping out of red beam accidently

- beam swappage i.e. too many tanks got the debuff by accidently stepping into the beam and getting exhausted.

- random kills due to void zones...

Hey bash quick question - as a tank do u stay in the red beam the whole time? (per banish)

Heh, i said that was the easiest way ... not that it was easy ... i wiped a raid 7 times in a row singlehandedly getting that tanking wrong when i was learning that fight Rolling Eyes

The red beam (assuming ive got the right one in mind which raises your HPs) You stay in until you HPs get down to about 17k (maybe more if you are a drood) then get out. Move forwards or backwards as tank to avoid void circles not sideways as you'll drop the beam, but ALWAYS stay in the beam unless you are dropping the beam because the phase is coming to an end.
The dance is the same on the green. You gotta pick 'em up super fast, watch the portals colours and be there to pick it up as soon as it appears. Position yourselves in between the portal of the right colour and netherspite so to intercept the beam as it starts. Once the fight starts the red and green just alternate anyway.

The biggest thing if you get the beam management sorted is just ensuring you intercept/charge back in there fast enough to mitigate raid dmg after his phase ends.

For everyone else ... never cross a beam. Particularly the red one. Crossing the red will get you agro and cause mayhem. If you are tricky healers can pinch the green one for a few secs of buff but the risk is you place the debuff on the tank who's meant to be holding it by hanging on to the beam for too long.
