Like Dage, this boss debuffs u and allies by autoattack, not by "behold our starfire" nuke. I suggest taunt NOT when "behold" msg appears, but taunt after "behold our starfire" nukes (same time as support should heal), cuz debuff not stacks at behold charge or red zones
To the guy who said I can't read: This guide was done before the wiki page was up, so we didn't know how the abilities worked right away (I agree that according to the wiki, we are not taunting the behold ability, but instead the autos and it may be more effective to taunt after the nukes to cover more autos). Instead of complaining of others spreading misinformation, I suggest teaching other people your strategy. 3 man has already been done (yes, they used taunt at behold). With just 3 healers in a 7 man comp, with any 2 people taunting the beholds (even if it may not be the most effective), nobody is at risk of dying due to the taunts. Would it be more optimal to do a different strat? Maybe, but it'll also take longer to explain, you can go for it if you want. Edit: Just did some testing and turns out this method is still essentially the best. When you say behold can't be taunted and we should taunt the autos instead, you're correct. However, the taunt behold strat still evenly distributes the autos between the 2 taunters. Since 1 behold is right after the zone, the autos will all be caught by t1 until it's t2's turn, which means no autos are uncaught. Basically meaning: taunting after behold and before behold achieves the same effect. So, I don't know why you're acting like your method is superior when it's harder to explain.
