Thaemine Solo - G2 Orb and Boss Counter

[CristiC.]

Did the mech, countered both, boss jumps in middle and wipe. Went to the usual spot as in the group scenario and still wiped. Tried staying mid, going to right side, tried hugging the wall at 6 o'clock and still wiped. Am I missing something? Any tips will be much appreciated. Thx in advance :)

This. I just went through the same thing. Sometimes the boss glows red before he glows blue. You need to wait until he is blue or you will wipe.

I looked at chat box and noticed that my counter on boss wasn't registering. Guess I was too slow. Played with gunlancer. On my other toons, it was ok. Need to learn the timing, since the bash is kinda slow. Experiencing fps drops in G2 and G3, maybe that's an issue as well. Tnx averyone. Your inputs are much appreciated :)

@op thanks for the info. I used to have delays on counters. adjusted below.
-- tweaked my available counters, counter skills using Q and A, so as not to hit when spamming the non-counter skills without looking at the keyboard.
-- exchanged from blue solo npc cooldown gems and setup for counter skills and if available counter's tripod that can further trim few secs.
-- adjusted settings like Audio and Video configure to minimum, skins off, minimized chat box
-- choosed buff usually "Run" to speed up the class
-- Lastly don't watch streaming during raids

For all my other classes everything is fine and dandy. It's the gunlancer's counter kit that's weird. If I'm too close to the boss, bash will hit(bleed and armor shred is applied) but no counter. Same with Echidna mirrors. Dash upper fire is the funniest: if I'm too close, even though I'm facing the boss and my mouse pointer is on the boss, the skill will shoot to right, diagonally. I facepalmed so hard I nearly gave myself a concussion. It took me a couple of tries, but I managed to find the range to counter with the red skill. For the blue skill, I have no clue when it comes to consistency. But I appreciate the input. Lag has decreased a bit a by turning steam overlay off(fk knows why this even mattered), minimized chat and turned dlss to performance - game looks like poop, but at least I can do the raid.
