Well I think that I finally have movement sorted out. We did get into P3 twice last night. I think it's just one of those fights where it just takes practice, of which I've had the least in RGT.

Anyway, P3 looked very very odd to me. I couldn't see anything that looked like a cloud on my screen. Could be a graphical issue as I play in Linux on OpenGL and I've had to run ToC10 heroic without ever seeing the legion flames (just run around until DBM stops moaning - lol). Plently of lightning, both above and below though. What I tried to do was get myself level to someone and stay at their height, checking that neither of us had lightning rod. Is this something we can practise outside the raid?

Tbh if you cannot see the clouds at all then it might be a fight we need to sit you on as the clouds are raid wipers if done incorrectly.   Difficult to practise this outside the raid, it's just one of those things you need to be able to see - judging height against other targets might not be the easiest and most reliable way of doing this fight, it's far easier to see the clouds.  Any chance you can run it on Windows?  That's the easiest solution imo.

Playing on Windows in a raid is not really an option. It would be a constant 8fps and lower on my work laptop. I struggle running the occasional dungeon on it. I built my gaming PC - no valid windows license for it.

After reviewing the tankspot video, I think the reason why I didn't see a cloud as such could have been that I was already inside one - it was pretty grey all around apart from the boss in front of me.
So what I did was float right to the top in p3 where it wasn't grey and try to move down in time with the others. What i need to now learn is how far to move down. I guess I didn't move far enough. So next time it goes grey I'll just move down until it's not grey anymore. Maybe stand a bit futher away from him as well as I was kinda wiping his nose and he's got a massive hitbox.

I found staying in close works well for me, if you get knocked back your still able to do some dps and you don't risk getting put back inside a cloud.
