draconis: draconis: I’m sure to have seen a guide to Legend Skiaclipse on forums, but I don’t remember where it was. Any idea?

Here is a very good (mostly) correct guide on the raid.

draconis: draconis: how you are supposed to deal with the divebombs if you don’t play a wizard (Teleport will always trigger a millisecond before the attack while moving/jumping will not)

He only ever dive bombs after he hits someone with lightning. He only throws lightning at people far away from him.

Because of this, you can know when he’s going to use lightning… he uses it the instant anyone walks too far away from him. This makes the lightning predictable, and dodgeable. Just based on your position, you know if he’s going to do it, and then, he has a unique sound, animation, and he turns to face the person before he does it, followed by a red telegraph on the ground. As long as you keep moving, it will miss. If it doesn’t hit anybody, he won’t dive bomb. Whoever he does hit will be the person he dive bombs, so you know where he’s going to dive bomb. If you’re very far away when he does hit with the lightning, the root effect will end before he can finish performing the dive bomb, so you can dodge it just by walking away. The lightning, like most skills he has, has a cooldown, so he won’t do it again for quite some time regardless of whether he hits or misses.

If you do manage to get caught in a reasonable range, and you know you’re going to get dive bombed, many classes have options whether it’s a defensive cooldown or mobility. Skills with iframes work (Teleport, as you said) or skills that just move you out of the area (Archer’s Leap). Defensive cooldowns like Engkrateia, Guardian, or Hallucination also work to survive it.

If all else fails, the healer in your party should have a number of options to save you. Many people can survive it simply having full HP (especially if your party has Magic Shield active, which you should) but the standard healer build for the fight (Kabbalist, Priest, Oracle) has a number of options, such as Foretell, Ein Sof, Revenged Sevenfold, Revive, and Arcane Energy. Any one of those skills should save you, and the healer can bring you up to full HP. Other support classes have their own options as well.

There are certainly more ways to get out of it or handle it, such as movement speed buffs, but those are some examples.

draconis: draconis: why the “residual burning” debuff doing x damage per second does automatically re-trigger with each time doing more damage (2x, 3x, 4x…) until you inevitably die (each time this happens I’m tempted to think it’s a bug not a feature – why put a 30s timer on a debuff if each time it reaches zero it restarts automatically at 30s?)

You get the burn debuff when you get hit by a meteor.

The debuff stacks from touching black puddles on the ground increase all damage you take until you lose the debuff. The burn debuff also simply gets stronger based on Skiaclipse’s missing HP, so the burn gets worse the further you are into the fight. If you want to minimize the damage, you have a few options:
