There were a couple things I really wanted to cover that didn't happen to me during this run, I'll list them here:
1.) When Olms is jumping at 75%, 50% and 25% and there's a Sphere on the opposite side, try standing in the middle of the arena and move back and forth out of Olm's jumps while hitting the Sphere. It's actually easier than it looks. You can check out some vAS World Records from DPS perspective and see. The main thing is to know how big the Jump AoE is and when he is landing back.

2.) IF you get the Llothis Cone and you're near the end of the cone AoE, you can out-range it by stepping farther out and away from the AoE. Only do this AFTER you let at least one of the Cone's pulses hit you. If you out-range too early (before any pulses hit you) the cone will redirect to someone else.

3.) Try not to get hit by the red wave things (usually called "bacon") that come out of Felm's Bomb AoE's as they will Maim you (reduce your damage output).

4.) Olm's Storm/Kite Mechanic happens about every 30 seconds. Luckily our Main Tank had a timer and called it out for us. But usually you'd have to have a mental timer for when it happens. How I think of it is "If it hasn't happened in a while, itll probably happen very soon". Not very helpful, I know. But If it's been a while AND Olm's does a Breath attack on the main tank, then he'll very likely do a Storm afterwards.

These tips alone won't make you super good in vAS all of a sudden, but I hope they at least help a little!

Gear:
2 Slimecraw*, 5 False God, 5 Medusa (Front bar Medusa Inferno)
Food: Max Health/Max Magicka**
Mundus: Shadow

Blue CP Slottables: Fighting Finesse, Backstabber, Biting Aura, Deadly Aim

*I used 2 Slimecraw here as I wanted to use Inner Light over Camo Hunter (which gives the same buff as Slimecraw). Using Camo Hunter instead, and putting on 2 Crit Monster set pieces is probably better if you plan on only killing Olms and leaving the 2 mini bosses alive. Otherwise, the difference is pretty small.

**Max HP/Max Mag food will probably be best for most people since the trial has more damage output now with the CP changes. If you're going for a 4 or 5 minute score run, then the Eye Bowl parse food is probably the better option.
