If you are in an organised group and kill Vale Guardian in the middle then you do not need to worry about your positioning so much as it is fairly easy to cleave the 
Seekers. Cleaving the Seekers will keep up your stacks thereby giving you more Condition Damage.
If you kill Vale Guardian on a wall then try to cleave the boss and the Seekers at the same time. You can do this by standing at his side and by aiming your through him to hit the Seekers behind.
If the timing permits, you can use to block the teleport from .

Although keeping up 25 stacks of should not be a problem here, remember that you can always cleave the expanding orbs. Cleaving the orbs is typically your responsibility and is easily done with good positioning.
You can slightly delay at the start of the encounter, if you have trust issues, to avoid the first as it will grant you Stability.
During the third DPS phase, or "Eggs" will spawn around Gorseval. Try to avoid 
Dodging out of the "Eggs" in order to upkeep DPS, because you can simply walk backwards out of them as they spawn. will root you in place, so take care not to get trapped in an egg.
Your banner placement will depend slightly on the way your squad does the split phase. Organised groups will split their squad in half and most likely one group will go the North-Eastern 
Charged Soul and the second group to the South-Eastern Charged Soul.
This will result in both groups kill their second 
Charged Souls to the West of Gorseval. This is where you should place both your banners so both groups get the benefit from them at the end of their split phases.
If you are running around as a squad to kill all the Charged Souls then you can place your banners slightly behind Gorseval. This will ensure you will be in range of your banners for at least two Charged Souls.
You can pick up your banners just as the split phase ends and recast them. This will ensure a high uptime.
As you head back towards Gorseval, you can use as a gap closer. If you use through up you will gain a Fire Shield. The same applies when moving between Charged Souls during the split phase. Fire Shield will give mobs Burning when you are stuck and can potentially detonate due to .
If your group is struggling with the split phases, remember that you can always use to Immobilize the Charged Souls.

Keep an eye on Sabetha's health and try not to waste 
Cooldowns if she is about to phase. This becomes more important when 
Kernan, 
Knuckles and 
Karde spawn as they will spawn Invulnerable and therefore destroy any projectiles you use.
You can easily cleave adds to help provide stacks. This is actually important when Karde spawns as you will need to help cleave down his turrets.
Place your banners close to the center of the arena. You can pick them up and recast them before you have to do your cannon.
You lose barely anything by baiting the mechanic, as you can normally attack from range at some point in your rotation. To bait the mechanic you must be the closest person to Sabetha.
If you get a when you are on your Sword set you can use as you walk out of the stack and to get back in.

Might and Fury while your subgroup is spread out.

Snowstorm phase, Matthias will create Icy Patches that can be cleaved by you with , therefore aiding to keep up the 25 stacks of .
Take care with as this skill can reflect Matthias when he uses - his jump attack.
Conditions continue to apply when Matthias uses his , so always continue with your rotation when he uses this attack.
The aim of the Matthias encounter is to keep him as static as possible near the center of the room so this means your banners should also be near the center of the room. If you see Matthias run off to Narnia, try to pick up your banners and recast them.
If you do happen to get a mechanic, be it Well of the Profane () or , you can walk backwards from Matthias to continue attacking and using . When moving back to Matthias remember to use as a gap closer.
If you are targeted by and are forced to move away from Matthias, you can use if you are on your Sword set to avoid too much DPS downtime. Use to get back to Matthias once has ended but take care not to leap too early.

This will not only help to maintain stacks but it will also aid in cleaving down the adds. Take care when cleaving adds that are in a shard AoE field as their Burning will get converted into 
Aegis.
If in the second phase you stay in one place to kill Xera, then try to stand to the side of her so you can cleave shards as well. Again, this will help to maintain stacks and also to remove shard pressure.
Remember to use to help CC when Xera has her Breakbar up.
Use Longbow for the second island as most likely you will be placed on a button. Using in is ideal. You can use to help blast Might in your field to help boost your DPS classes while they are killing the central shard.
Find out from the 
Power Boon Chronomancer if you are keeping Xera in the middle during the first phase. If you are, then you can just place your banners there. If you are moving Xera try to place your banners between the middle and the location to which you will move her.
The same applies to the second phase, after 50%. Find out where you will be moving Xera and place your banners between the two tanking positions.
During the second phase, you can pick them up as you move between tanking spots and recast them.

Seeing as you aren't going to be in charge of boon strip, due to multiple 
Condition Renegades, it doesn't really matter which green you take.
Remember that is a condition cleanse, so use it to cleanse the 
Torment after the Soul Split ().
Use for extra movement during mechanics and going to greens. This will help you maximise your DPS uptime.
You can also use when moving out to the seals during the final 10%.
Ask the Power Boon Chronomancer where you will be tanking 
Dhuum. Try to place your banners between the two tanking spots for each phase between the .
If you are taking the first green you will need to place your banners before taking your second green as Dhuum will have already spawned. You can pick up your banners when you return and recast them again.
