Flag & Key Requirements

Brief Event Overview & Strategy

Old world style zone crawl with mixture of SI mobs.

Jopals at ZI landing point SI.  Beyond that can run invis to 2nd castle area, hug west wall.  From there, we fight in to reach first miniboss.

Guardian of Doomfire gatekeeper en route to General Reparm.

Currently if you die your corpse is sent to the zone GRAVEYARD inside the instance.  Please try and avoid clicking to bind when you die otherwise we have no way to call/rez unless we're at your corpse in the graveyard which is not likely during the event.

Guardian of Doomfire and General Reparm are IMMUNE TO FIRE SPELLS - Adjust your spell sets to be effective!  Make sure your pets do not have fire proc weapons.

Guardian of Doomfire:

React to emote when targeted by running away from raid to avoid AE'ing everyone when Doom fades.  There are TWO campfires used as run to locations.  When emoted, you don't want to be near the other person emoted so make sure you're both not at the same campfire.

Tanks drag imps to corner for Enchanters to MEZ.

Enchanters MEZ Imps.

Everyone BURN Guardian of Doomfire from engage.


General Reparm:

VIRAL emote Expanding Embers -- When targeted RUN NORTH to THRONE / Chair area.  Do not return until DoT faded (trigger reminds you). 

When emoted RUN NORTH TO THRONE.

Kill FROGS that spawn at timed intervals.  Enchanters MEZ extras.  MTO: Reparm SWAPS places with frogs periodically which also blurs.

At 80% Reparm - TWO Bone Burner adds spawn EAST and WEST and burnt bones spawn on a timer while burners up.

Watch timing for frog kill vs 81% point -- We do not want a frog spawning the moment bone burner adds spawn.

Everyone BURN short timer discs on EAST Bone Burner quickly!  Then DO WEST Bone Burner!  -- Once both down the burnt bone adds stop spawning.

Assigned KITERS - SNARE and KITE burnt bones COUNTER CLOCKWISE around room.

Enchanters - TASH burnt bone adds so snare lands more easily.

At 50% Reparm - TWO big SNAILS spawn - Assigned tanks - Face snails away from raid (frontal AE DoT 200k per tick + Snare).

DPS EAST Snail to 15% and STOP (DoTs off at 25%) -- Then DPS WEST Snail to 5% -- Then we kill both snails at the same time.

FULL BURN on Snails - The frogs stop spawning for only 5 minutes once snails spawn and then start spawning again.

Enchanters MEZ any frogs that spawn during snails.

At Reparm HP: 40%, 15% and 1% - TWO Bone Burner adds spawn and burnt bones as before.  Reparm HP locked while burnt bone skeleton adds alive.

MA Kill Order:

- Frogs
- At 80% Reparm kill Bone burner EAST, then WEST
- Burnt Bone adds
- At 50% Reparm - DPS Snail EAST to 15%, then WEST to 5% - Then kill both at same time
-- MEZ Frogs during snails
- At Reparm HP: 40%, 15% and 1% - TWO Bone Burner - kill Bone burner EAST, then WEST
- Burnt Bone adds


Casters & Healers:

Position just outside AE Rampage of Reparm at base of south ramp - middle of ramp there is an elevated half-wall.  You can stand there and reach Reparm and both Snails.

Clerics - During Snails if you're in a snail MT group make sure you're at middle half-wall so that your HP Aura of Divinity is landing on your tanks.

Reparm group healers, position base of south ramp at the bottom of the half-wall outside of AE rampage.  Your HP aura will hit MTO there.

Healers - During Snails it's possible emoted players in your group will be OUT OF RANGE of your heals when they run to throne.  Adjust your position accordingly to ensure they get the heals they need.


DPS & ADPS:

Short timer discs only for Bone Burners.

FULL BURN for SNAILS.


Tanks:

Be ready for General Reparm swapping places with frog pyronilings and quickly re-engage.  When Reparm swaps he blurs as well.

MTO - When General Reparm swaps; drag Reparm back to tank spot each time.

Trigger warns when General Reparm swaps with a frog.

MTO you need to TANK SWAP once your discs are down.  Make sure you're on the ball with this please.  It's more effective for your survival and helps healers a lot especially during Snails and burnt bones when healing is taxed more.


Inside Instance - Moving to 2nd Castle

Once the see invis Jopals are killed at zone-in, invis and move south along the west side as the blue line indicates to the 2nd castle area.  If you aggro along the way please FADE or DIE to avoid training the raid.  Thanks.

If we can step up the burn on Guardian of Doomfire, that part will be even cleaner .. was a good kill last night though!

So, for Reparm .. I'm guessing we need to tank the frogs on top of him to prevent him from poofing across the room when he swaps with them?

Re: Frogs

Yeah, I agree.  We need to keep the frogs close to General Reparm.

Also make a note .. no fire spells land on Guardian of Doomfire or General Reparm, even with full debuffs .. so people need to have alternate spell lineups loaded.

April 12, 2019 - Trigger Package Updated

Added a little more time to the Expanding Embers trigger to avoid players returning before VIRAL DoT has worn off.

As always, delete old trigger set before importing new and ensure the set is toggled on accordingly.

See everyone in game!
