Tiamat: Do NOT stand beside the clerics

It amazes me how many players can't get this simple idea into their heads.
During the 3 clerics phase Tiamat targets her 5 breath weapons onto players. If a player is standing beside one of the 3 clerics then the cleric also gets the full effect of that breath weapon. It's extra damage on the cleric then and she'll take longer to fully charge.
stand at least 1.5 breath weapon templates away from the clerics, preferrably where the adds spawn and just aggro the adds there.

That is a perfect idea, but I am still wondering exactly how far "1.5 breath weapon templates" is . . .

I agree with you that we need to pull them off the clerics, but some classes have a much more difficult time at this than others.
if you look at the red circle before the Breath is used you can see which Breath Weapon is about to be used. On the left side you only get Black and Green breaths, on the right Blue and White. Middle Cleric (Linu) gets Green, Red and Blue. The gems will protect several people, including the clerics, use them.
it's about where the adds spawn , just in front of the big red area where Tiamat does her slow steady damage.
This is all great advice
Legion Devil you can only hit and get aggro.
get that thing in mind, you dont even need to kill them.only keep aggro.
Simply remember the spots the mobs spawn at and spam wicked strike around there. That's enough to keep the mob busy and away from the clerics unless someone pulls them away, but that's none of your business. Unless ur a high GS sentinel, don't bother running after aggroed mobs, you won't generate enough threat to steal the aggro anyway. Just spam wicked strike, any aoes you got and that's it.
This is why I hate random timed groups, best to get in with some people out of something. ITs a shame that 2:35 is now been taken by zone, as I had two choices before either the pm group or the legit one, I also snuck into a few guilds groups while I saw them zone =P ..
Anything is better then a random group!
And that's the consequences of choosing such a class. Nothing you can do.
Since you can't pull aggro, leave it to those who have more to offer as contribution in this matter. Others will push/pull mobs away, you do the butchering.
If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'
They really need to take knockbacks out of the game. They do more bad than good.
This should be a reminder that whenever you start thinking everyone is a bunch of idiots, you should get out more, take yourself less seriously, and be humble.
Provably false. The clerics do take the dmg from the AOE attacks. The dmg from the demons is minor compared to the damage from the aoes, particularly the black/green AOEs. Do the dreamer cleric (left side if facing tiamat), you can watch the clerics health regen come to a complete standstill standing in green AOE from some nub standing on the cleric, even with every single demon spawn instantly being aggro'd and never getting a chance to attack her.
Sorry, but I am almost positive that you are incorrect. I watched Linu (middle cleric) take red Dragon breath to the face with no adds anywhere near her, her progress bar went down a noticeable amount. And I have seen the Black side Cleric get hit with the breath which caused the next wave of adds to do significant damage to her quickly.
And, just to take a contrary position to my belief, why is it a big deal anyway? Have a couple of people protect the Clerics, it is not hurting anything to do it that way.
Go look again guys. I have tested this many times. The clerics do not take damage from the dragon.
I put my Gwf at add spawn point. Yes they ignore me and rush directly at Linu, while I am here waving my useless 2h sword, hitting nothing. Useless class is useless but at least I do not harm. I proc my gem, I revive people. Still, it's more killing time than killing foes.

People should beware that not all of the gems are shields though- white and black (for example) only dispel existing effects. You need to run out of the way, let them hit, run back in and pop the gem.
Tested how?
Did you try come and get it the moment they spawn? (I don't play my GWF anymore, so haven't tried it myself).
Only tried Tia once but I'll catch up in the weekend. Anyway as a GWF I dont think it's a problem keeping adds occupied. The one persistent issue I faced were some DC players who kept on sitting next to the castig cleric and just sunbursting adds. The aoe knocks did nothing but make my and other melee fighters rotations miss more often than not

The problem is the DC and CW who stand right next to the clerics pushing adds off. This makes them take aggro and pulls the adds right to their spots; next to the clerics.

Dusk level 60 Trickster Rogue
Dawn level 60 Devoted Cleric
Eclipse level 60 Hunter Ranger
Wrath level 60 Great Weapon Fighter
Jinx level 60 Scourge Warlock
When ever I see a cleric way below the other, I go to help and sure enough everyone is fighting on the cleric.
Why does this matter? It is possible to clear 2 Tiamats, and get 2 Linu's favor every hour...but groups who take too long on clerics cant do this.
So if it appears that the dragon breath is affecting the cleric, look at the cleric..is it on its knees? They only go to their knees if they are knocked down by a mob.
