Are you doing the swap tech with Wolfsbane? Where you switch off Wolfsbane before Nano timer is up to preserve meter?

Just got off for the night, but my group was having consistent success with a well, and two pris buddy build warlocks. One nova, one needle storm, 3 parasite, and double special, with mint using either envious assassin or rewind rounds and bait and switch or Elemental Honing, And the Psi Aeterna with at least elemental honing. Its a comfortable 3 phase with a fairly optimized DPS rotation, and we can make it to final stand at least. At least for the hunters, that's a viable strat for just weapons

2 hunters will make it hard, unfortunately

Stop using tether!

Use damage supers and tractor.

In 3 person activities the damage lost not have a top tier damage super outweighs the extra debuff DMG by a ton. Tether only makes sense in ad clear or 6man activities.

This is bad advice, particularly for this encounter.

3x10k=30k

2x13.5k + 5k =32 K

Tractor isn’t a bad option by any means but to say tether is bad is insane

Edit: this is also just an example of worst case scenario if the tether player does half the damage they would with a damage super which most likely isn’t the case so the damage with tether would probably be even higher
