One change to phase 4 as a dpser. The large hit can be generally ignored if there are meleers or mages on the team, as destroy and asphyxiate are stuns, which reduce the hit. If you are duoing with ranged and not using any stuns, this can deal very high damage. To prevent this, use tight bindings and/or binding shot on occasion, and you should be good to go.
My apologies for missing this, although I did bring range in some testing I did not range in any duos, where this is most likely to be an issue.
