Beastlord Darmac damage buff

[infinity46]

Ok so faultline has a stacking damage increase as he is up so everything starts hitting harder and harder. Does that reset after he dies and Beastlord gains his abilities?

Also, any ideas on positioning of ranged and melee on the boss so there is less ranged getting hit by breath/more time to move out of it? Finally, can the boss target a melee and breath on them?

Based on speech bubbles I've seen in our raids above people's heads, he can definitely target breath on melee.

Yes, it will reset. Beastlord should begin with his own Unstoppable buff, independent of how many stacks Faultline had when he died.

He either can target melee or just faces a plain random direction, either way it is not a guaranteed target on ranged. Best advice would just be to maintain a loose spread and be aware so that you can move quickly out of the breath ideally taking only 1 hit of it (2 is a lot of damage, 3 is basically guaranteed death).
