Damage Analysis
Due to the incoming damage pattern on this encounter being fairly constant damage, you will likely be looking to utilize your primary ramps as often as possible when they will line up with Resentment. We recommend targeting the first Arthura's Crushing Gaze, which happens at approximately 42 seconds into the fight, with your first ramp and them ramping on cooldown after that. Later in the fight, you can slightly delay your ramps to force them to overlap with later Crushing Gazes.
Make sure you are watching the targets with Fragments of Destiny as they will be taking increased damage from the debuff.
