Eden’s Verse White Mage Fight Tips

What do I do with my lilies for the first 2 minutes of the fight?

• Lul. Nothing. Just sit on them, really.

Note on second Assize and Assize on adds

The timing for adds spawning is such that you need to hold Assize for 15s somewhere in the first phase. You do want it on adds as soon as they spawn no matter what.

My suggestion:

If you hold your second Assize to the 60s mark rather than 45s mark (so, with second Dia). This does a couple of things that are comfy:

• I find it easier to remember to hold assize at the beginning of the fight, rather than trying to remember to later before adds, so I like holding it this early (this point is really just a personal preference thing)
• The 3rd one will come up at 1:45 which is when the betwixt world knock back happens. You WILL inevitably clip your GCD here for the knockback, but it IS possible to essentially “animation cancel” assize with the knockback. Meaning, when you cast assize, there’s an inherent animation lock so if you don’t weave it with an instant, you clip. However if you time the assize correctly, you can basically have this forced clip from assize happen at the same time as the forced clip from this first knockback. I have not done it consistently, but I have done it enough times. It feels very comfy when you do.
  Here’s a clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/JazzyBombasticBearWOOP (just don’t move after like I did, you can slide cast into your spot, I’m just bad.)
• Your next one is at 2:30 which aligns with the Dia there, this is the dia that should have Assize + Presence of Mind. The assize alignment here is nice because it’ll heal up any damage not yet healed after the empty wave stuff.

Color Dodges

• All color dodges can be done with slidecasts.
• MOST groups and people dodge on the edge. You CAN dodge in the middle two columns if you understand the pattern. This is helpful on the first set to stay in the middle area where you’ll need to be for the betwixt world mechanics.
  If you look at the squares of the arena like this:

        | ? | ? |
  ? | - | - | - | - | R
  ? | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | B
  ? | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | R
  ? | - | - | - | - | B
        | R | B |

  You will always dodge between 2 and 7. If red is safe first (paper went into the blue portal), start on 7. If blue is safe first (paper went into red), start on 2. You follow the same pattern of swapping between them as you would if you were dodging on either edge.
  Here’s a clip, in this clip blue was safe first so you want to be on the overlap of blue:

  (I think this is technically also doable for the later color dodge phase BUT I wouldn’t because 1) the orange baited puddles will potentially eat entirely into the square unless everyone is coordinated and 2) you have a lot more time after this one to move into the center, the first one you don’t have that leeway).

Away With Thee movement

If you’re still new to the fight PLEASE just respect this mechanic, don’t be cheeky.

• The first one comes up near a natural Dia refresh – feel free to let the dot fall off for a bit and use dia as your last GCD before you get snapped. The phase one timings will make you lose ticks of dia regardless.
• Controller Tips: I play with a controller as well! I find it easiest to turn my camera so that I only have to move my left stick straight up or straight back to turn in the correct direction (rather than keeping my camera fixed and trying to hit the right angle on the stick)
• Don’t be afraid to clip a swiftcast and hit glare before the snapshot if you mis-timed dia or similar, the clip isn’t relevant when you consider the comparison is losing the entire GCD anyways!
• Check the adds phase section for tips on that one

False Moonlight

Hopefully your group is bating in the center for the first orange puddles. As the whitemage you’ll have fewer movement tools than your co-healer, or your ranged DPS players. As such make sure you’re not stuck with the far back corner for your ice puddle drop, you should be one row above.

• You should have either a misery prepped or a rapture leading into this mechanic. PoM should come up before it starts, ending in the middle of your first set of dodges. This is OK just be mindful of how it changes slidecast timings.
• Rapture or Misery out of the orange aoe into your spot. Glare slidecast out of the ice puddle, the snapshot timing is quite forgiving on this
• Rapture/ Misery or Dia before you get snapped, if you’re unsure, swiftcast a glare, again clip is irrelevant.

Adds Phase

Do your best to keep dia up on all three targets, this not only is what you want to do for DPS, it creates a lot more weave and movement windows helping out significantly in this phase.

• Make use of your raptures for movement here. Stick to the middle when you can, moving out to your respective group when it’s time to stack.
• More coming soon, shhhh I’m busy and want to make a good clip of it.
• You shouldn’t need a ton of extra GCD heals for the damage, rapture will cover most, make good use of PI, a medica 2 for safety wouldn’t be remiss, and temperance one one set of aoes can help as well.

Tornado Phase movement

• Use a combination of slidecasts, lilies, dia, and swift weaved with either lilies or dia to cover all of the movement here. You do not need to spam dia.
• This clip covers the basic concept though you’ll notice I don’t execute it very well (a lot of casts are fully dropped rather than slid) should hopefully get you an idea!: https://clips.twitch.tv/SucculentProtectiveSalamanderTakeNRG
• Alternatively if you’re feeling gutsy, you can try to dodge through the spinning arm: https://clips.twitch.tv/DifferentSleepyTarsierKAPOW
