A scheduled nuke is one that wasn't preceded with a glare. Stay in position. If you run away from the dragon he will kill you. TWF. Save this for the ubah caster adds at the end. Raid Leaders should have Macros. STACK, STAY IN POSITION, ADD INC, MESSENGER. Ments and Arm's dealers can use /macro Person /target Person for Crack/Arms/Hot's Glares. From when the dragon 'glares' you have 3 Seconds (cast time). This can vary but that's the base line. Blast [22:29:33] Cuuldurach the Glimmer King glares at Hotndots and unleashes a horrendous blast!
