Lurker Spout phase question...

Do you actually have to be under water or can you just jump in the water and not go under?|||You need to duck, using X....

Don't swim down.....Just jump in, and push X....And, you only need to be ducking as the spout goes over you.

Its easy to see, and many people tend to remain in the water much longer than needed.|||all i do is walk backwards a step or 2 until i fall off the edge.

i don't see my "breathing" bar or anything, my head is bobbing above the water. That is sufficient to avoid the spout.|||You need to be swimming. You don't need to submerge. For example if you're melee, you can step forward and keep dpsing... but there's a slight underwater ledge so if you take one step forward you will be in the water, but standing on something. This will not work. If your toon is standing, you're dead. If it's doing the swiming animation you're fine.|||What Clevins said... you dont need to dive, just need to be swimming/floating in the water.

The damage is easily outhealed with a HoT, you can easily stay safe in the water.

Note: if you're jumping in the water, you take damage each time you land... which can lead you to taking _more_ damage than if you just swim/move normally.|||Oh.. good point... do NOT jump up and down while in the water... just get in there, wait for Spout to pass, get out|||Quote:

Not even, being in the water is enough.|||Quote:

You don't need to duck, you just need to be in the water. Its if you jump when spout in going over you that kills you.

Also, all dps can continue as long as you are in the water. Ranged just need to back up a few feet in the water and continue on.|||What happened to me the first few times running this was I'd jump off ahead of the spout, and seemingly be in the water a split second before it - but due to server lag, the server didn't register me yet as being in the water.

Don't wait until the very last second - give yourself two seconds or so. Better a little less DPS than a whole lot more of dead.
