    5. I found these circulating in a few PFs on aether. These look like the same exact strats but consolidated. Might be worth giving a look and updating to

      1. these aren't the same strats, they have different bait locations for animals, alluring 2, echoing eight, silent eight, etc. make sure you know which one the party is using

    1. Is it possible to consolidate the raidplans into one per boss to make it more readable?

    1. Just do this for spurning, there's no flexing involved the tethers just resolve themselves at the corners no matter the pairs.

    1. https://raidplan.io/plan/zuz5sdhg49dsf8zs I made this just on the off chance people wanted help with Pari's 2nd mech... Not saying it has to be added to the pastebin but can be considered if you or others find it useful. Really only for the people that maybe struggle with it, ty for the pastebin regardless :)

    1. For the Ceaseless Current on boss 1 my group finds it easier to have fixed positons: RTMH from north to south True North. Ranged can preposition north and healer south before anything appears, then when exa appears we just go left/right to the correct spot in the lineup. No need to look for the new north this way and less movement for casters/healers.

    1. I think for a mech that happens a lot in the 2nd boss I'm surprised PF isn't solving Near/Far Heaven just like in the Advanced version of criterion, not only you have to do it in advanced to unlock criterion anyways but also that way only the prey has to do any thinking: https://raidplan.io/plan/5Ops-yhBEeX0RD8D
