question regarding Usasama hell mode position at rock?

Hello there. I finally able to go back to Usasama hell mode after my OHS tank cha get an aoe skill. YAY!!

However , I notice that a lot of pt now told me to go on top of "the rock?" and it create a new headache for me.
1) I cannot attack the phantom!! or I feel it that way. I use spinnig slash as my aoe skill to kill of phontom and now I notice that my sfrom doesnot kill the phantom below the rock. I got hit like crazy even when my strom still up. I feel like that rock is not good for aoe skill. Any opinion about it?
Mage skill: wall doesnot work well too.

2) My strom wont hit gestpent
It seems to hit like 1-2 but not 3 of them. Maybe they are too far way? My spinning slash strom still up and gest kill me.

3) why is other player doesnot not help kill skele. I got a bunch of skele hitting me like crazy. I thought dps suppose to kill of skele before 2nd phrase or did i misunderstand something. I have not been to usasama for a week now ,is this a new trend? In between casting sanc , guardian , spinning slash and decoy shot. A few stunt from the boss would left me open like a sitting duck ;^;

 

If you smell.... What The Rock is cookin'!

 

You have a bit of time to move around the rock to kill the phantoms. I hope they'renot gonna patch this after the maintenance lol

 

what do u mean moving around the rock? they told me to stay on top of the rock...usually I just have one mage spam wall & strom to kill phantom and 2 dps to kill boss

 

I won't be surprised if they remove the rocks off the map

 

standing on the rock is a way they thought of to cut off usasama mobility by 50%.

therefore he will mostly spawn the gespecter close to the rock,or all 3 on top of each other instead of running 15m away and spawn them.

this does make it easier to handle the gespecters,but it also made usasama attacks more prone to hit you with ailments,standing on the rock is a great way to tank,but it is for experience players that has perfect timing only.

 

i dont find Usasama aoe atk. doesnot hot me much. only thing i die was from phantom and gest ;^; that doesnt get hit by spinning slash
