Subject Alpha... what am I missing?
You actually don’t need a Guardian at all, as long as you avoid glass cannons. Subject Alpha is indeed like Lupi, both fights are not about DPS but Survivability. You also don’t need to “zerg him down”, people will get downed but they won’t die if you rezz them cleverly.
Occam Pi (Ele), Acaena Elongata (Warrior), Finja Salversdotir (Ranger),
Bytestream (Engineer), Vim Whitespace (Thief)
Also, spread out so that the red circles spread out more too and are thus easier for each individual to avoid. There was a good guide for this fight let me see if I can find it…..

Simply either be ranged or melee. If melee stand together so your circles match, if ranged stay away from everyone to not overlap with anyone.
Everyone should just melee him and have condition removers if they’re doing path 1 or 2
Ice circles can be dodge rolled after 1½ second or so and you won’t have to be concerned about escaping into a different player’s circles.
The cone shaped spikes can be dodged with some practice (Alpha looks at the player he’s going to target for a while before actually using them. With some timing you can evade the attack as soon as he starts the animation)
It’s also much easier to break crystals/ressurect when everyone stacks on him in melee range for obvious reasons.
