Uh... what puddles?? I bunch them all up and spam 3 and 4 button until he transitions back and then if I need to (most of the times I dont) I chain heal and continue dps. I downed him first try and havent wiped to him yet. LOL I find it funny I didnt even know he had a ground AE. I can't believe you killed Novos first try though, wtf =(
