Spoilers below obviously.

Our group seemed to falter during the damage phase when the Empowered buffs were shuffled around.

Why not just continue to use the system we used before during this phase? For instance, we are damaging the boss, and I get the empowered buff. I'm assigned to the right with Guardian, so I'd still say "empowered right". Then I go right. If I hear guardian also say empowered right, and an empowered left, then I know, since I'm the switcher, to go mid.

Why not stick to your sides /switchers throughout the fight? That would make it a lot easier to always have someone in position for the second and third slams.

Also, thanks to Munky and Argent for helping.

You could definitely define someone as a switcher. So that if two people are empowered on the same side to not have to figure out who is switching. We just called out who was empowered and the last person to call basically just ran where he needed to be. And it was only problematic for round two of DPS because the first round has the shortest DPS time and thus the shortest time to figure out where people need to be for round two of stunning.

But we beat it so... Now for hard mode :-D

Here's what I think is the easiest:

Split in to 3 groups of two. Each group goes either left, middle, or right. In each group, define one person is the switcher.

When the empowered buffs come out, each player who has the buff calls out "empowered SIDE", where side is where they are. If you hear Empowered for Right, middle, and left, nobody has to move. The empowered person stays on the side until the servitor on their side is killed, then they throw the charge and wait in position. The non empowered player grabs the canon, kills their servitor, then goes middle.

If two people on the same side are empowered, you listen to which side has nobody with the buff, then the switchers switch. For example, if two on the right and one on the left have the buff, then the switchers from middle and right will swap, and everything continues as above with you on a new side.

I think the same thing should happen during the damage phases.

You are damaging the boss, and if you have the buff call out as before with your side and move to it. Two people on the same side with the buff? Then go to whichever side was not called out. This will ensure someone is always in position.
