Phantom boss mobility

Do you phantoms ever feel hindered by the fact that you are "locked" to the spot when using arrow platter? On stationarty bosses it won't be a problem I guess, but on like Magnus and RA?

Also, are'nt you kinda smoked if you've set out one turret (or what you call the arrow platter things) and the boss use DR, or can they be cancelled?

It's not that big a deal tbh, all classes have to deal with DR. If you can't time it, you will die regardless of your class, for phantoms you simply have to spend a second ahead of your usual attacking time to turn around the turret and viola, DR won't get you. Then you go steal it and continue wrecking the boss' face.

Arrow platter works great for me at Magnus and CRA. You can increase the range of the turret when you set it down if you aim up and hit bosses that move around fairly easy. Plus resetting the turret is fast, so it isn't an issue for me. And most bosses that have DR (or the ones that actually matter) knowing when they are going to DR is easy to determine. Also for bosses with DR before it DR's setting the turret in a corner is easy since we have high mobility. AND besides we can steal DR, so we also get that bonus.

As long as the boss don't have DR, i don't find mobility to be an issue

Normally with mobile bosses Arrow platter is a bad idea anyways. Be better to use FC and Mille

@UltraLudde: Not really, I usually just time it, but against bosses that have weird DR time like PB Millie + FC is better.
It all depends on how often they DR and how well you can predict it.

@freezenlight Wow he really know what he is doing, thanks for sharing!

@zeck96 I see, would you say that mille + FC is better for bosses that cast DR?

I never have a problem with the first, but I always die due to the latter.
