When you see the frost blast, darkness circle, or electric shock prepare to activate your only objective should be to get out of the blast radius. If you are a ranged fighter then this is your chance to attack, but if not, wait until the attack is over and then head in to deal some blows.

Avoiding the meteors is simple as they appear as circles on the ground before landing, just make sure you continue to move until they stop. When the fireball casting begins you’ve got two options. For ranged fighters, you should keep avoiding them on the outside, but melee attackers are better off dashing into range. This will allow you to avoid the attack, and also get free damage off.

Get as close as possible to The Husk of Elder Pannion when this attack begins and slowly move to his back as it continues and you will be completely safe to deal big damage.
