Thank you so much for checking out my guide. This one has been a bit of a special project and I hope that the end result speaks for itself. Here are some notes that were omitted for brevity, and of course I will do my best to respond to all questions in the comments (although I'll probably catch a nap first).
9:26 – My statics decided against the invulnerability strats for Storms of Asphodelos primarily because we felt the reward was not worth the risk. One out-of-position player can bait a second conal on the party stack and kill everyone besides the tanks, who will soon follow. On the other hand, with the healers separated it's highly probable that you will be able to recover with a healer LB3 if necessary. Given that this mechanic is so late in the fight, this is a high strategic value, especially during progression when trying to get to the later fights. We also thought relying on invulnerability cooldowns here would be less fun. Of course, your group should do what's right for your group; there is no best way.

10:17 – Most PF groups seem to be doing melee knockback one side and ranged knockback on the other side. Our objection to this is that by putting all four melee on one twister, it leads to problems if the mechanic following Burning Twister (donut AoEs) is a spread Ashplume. Either some will take downtime, or worse, they will clip each other trying to get uptime and die. This is fine, but inefficient considering that you can just send two melee to each twister, giving them ample space to spread in while attacking the boss. Once again, your group should do what's right for your group.
GG !
Thanks for the guide, too bad that in party Finder people struggle a lot with this fight 🙁
My static has started to prog this fight. We've seen a few other guides but I always like your guides as well, so I've linked them this guide as another reference for our fight.
Thank you for the quality guide as always 🙂
I wish your guides were the pf strat all the time 🙁 you make the best guides and helped me clear E8S-E11S and would’ve helped me with 12 if I didn’t take a break from the game. Keep up the good work and thank you for all your hard work and help with the raising community.
