Homing Beacon and Damage Reflect

I keep dying because homing beacon will take longer to hit than it takes bosses with DR to cast and apply it to themselves. Anyone else having this problem?

Left head casts DR that reflects Physical Attacks and right head reflects Magical Attacks.
Bosses like Hilla casts full DR which reflects both Physical and Magical Attacks. And if you look closely to the DR icon from Physical DR and Magical DR combined it looks the same as the Full DR.

@Zovea
I used to have this problem on my Phantom when it was released. To get around this problem you need to know when it's about to cast DR and stop way before the boss even use the DR animation. If I am not wrong they changed this thing for Phantom during one of the patches, dunno which one.

Only the left head of CHT DRs.

yup dealy issues, we cant do anything about but be very cautious with the DR times. usually bosses use DR when their HP is 90%

The bosses with known timers are PB after 15 seconds and Empress after 60 seconds.

[quote=FreeIcecream]Just keep the timer in mind and stop attacking 2-3 seconds before they'll be able to cast dr again [/quote]Is there a guide for this?
