c) The way we handled it however simplifies it quite alot. When the Storm starts, everybody stack up right beneath the statue whats to your right (we always have our first big puddle on the left statue when you pull and move around counter-clockwise. So that means the right statue is your stacking point to begin and then move around counter-clockwise for each new puddle). You always hug the wall and stack up underneath the statue. Turn your camera to the ground so you can see the sparks easier.
You pre-stack Spirit Shell (if you have a disc) and drop some kind of dmg-reduce cd (Barrier, Spirit Link etc.). You can dodge the first 2-3 lightnings coming your way by simply sidestepping within the Barrier/Spirit-Link. After about 5 seconds (from the moment the storm casts) you need to start to move or the "homing missiles" will knock you out of your shoes. You just move as a group to the right (counter-clockwise). Move about 15y and then stack up again. Stay like this for about 3 seconds then move again. Use a healing cooldown while moving (healing tide, shamans on-the-move-healing, druid tranq with shaman symbiosis etc.)
It's alot like the Atramedes HC tactic where you stack up in front of the boss and move as a group. It pretty simplifies the phase. You won't even take any damage from sparks. And even if you do, it doesn't really matter since you can heal it up quite fast. You will only have to worry about sparks coming sideways towards you, because no spark from the middle of the room will lock onto you.
Also this way, you dont have to worry about people messing up their dance. You move as a group. Took us two tries with this tactic.
