Brief Event Overview & Strategy

This event has a 25 minute timer.

Do not cast Disease and Corruption based spells and debuffs on Anashti Sul.  Each Disease or Corruption based spell/debuff used against Anashti Sul will cause her to heal approximately 5% HP.  A flash across the screen emote indicates when this occurs and by whom, and trigger will fire.

The event begins with Anashti Sul on the top floor.  Periodically Bokon and oozes spawn which we vertically align together causing them to despawn.

Anashti Sul casts a Targeted AE (25' range) called: Gifts of Anashti Sul.  It has a 50% chance to trigger either a beneficial or detrimental effect:
- Gift of Living Death: 133k DD + 20k DoT for 1 minute (bad).
- Gift of Endless Life: Increase HP 116k and 3k HoT, for 1 minute (good).

Anashti Suls first port down occurs at 55% HP.  Traps come into play, avoid them.

Withering Decay debuffs come into play when Anashti Sul reaches 40% HP.

Withering Decay debuffs: Depending on class type (be it Tank, Healer, DPS Caster/Melee), specific Withering lines are favored to perform well.  Withering when cured casts a different withering on the target cured and a different withering on the person who cured the target.  The idea is to cycle the withering debuff to the one favored for your class type.  React to your triggers when it tells you to Cure Disease.

Potion Curing Withering Decay Debuffs:

For classes who don't have a spell they can cast to cycle the debuff or if you want to save a spell slot,  you can use a disease cure potion to flip the debuff to one preferred by your class.  This allows you to be self-sufficient.

The debuffs flip in this order: Faith > Physicality > Limbs.

There are 29 counters you must remove to change to the next debuf.  If you cure 58+ counters, it will skip one debuff and land on the next.

Healers:For Faith use Distillate of Immunization XV (cures twice). For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization XIII (cures once).
DPS:For Limbs use Distillate of Immunization XIII (cures once). For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization XV (cures twice).
Tanks:For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization VII+.

Cures one debuff
Shield of Immaculate Light=cures 35 counters
Immunization VII=cures 32 counters
Immunization VIII= cures 36 counters
Immunization IX=cures 40 counters
Immunization X=cures 44 counters
Immunization XI=cures 48 counters
mmunization XII=cures 52 counters
Immunization XIII=cures 56 counters
 
Cures two debuffs
Immunization XIV=cures 60 counters
Immunzation XV=cures 64 counters
 
More than one cast to cure
Cleansing Rod=cures 20 counters

If you need potions, ask in FLRaids if anyone has a few extras, or check out the /bazaar for some.  Raccoo carries a few extra potions to hand out to FL raiders as well (thanks Raccoo!).

Brief Event Overview & Strategy (Updated)

Revised based on our two attempts so far from late Friday.  Currently a work in progress (WIP).

This event has a 25 minute timer.

Avoid Disease and Corruption based spells and debuffs.  Each Disease or Corruption based spell/debuff used against Anashti Sul will cause her to heal approximately 5% HP.  A flash across the screen emote indicates when this occurs and by whom, and trigger will fire.
The event begins with Anashti Sul on the top floor.  Periodically Bokon and oozes spawn which we vertically align together causing them to despawn.

Anashti Sul casts a Targeted AE (25' range) called: Gifts of Anashti Sul1.  It has a 50% chance to trigger either a beneficial or detrimental effect:
- Gift of Living Death: 133k DD + 20k DoT for 1 minute (bad).
- Gift of Endless Life: Increase HP 116k and 3k HoT, for 1 minute (good).

Anashti Suls first port down occurs at 55% HP.  Traps come into play, avoid them.

Withering Decay debuffs come into play when Anashti Sul reaches 40% HP.

Withering Decay debuffs: Depending on class type (be it Tank, Healer, DPS Caster/Melee), specific Withering lines are favored to perform well.  Withering when cured casts a different withering on the target cured and a different withering on the person who cured the target.  The idea is to cycle the withering debuff to the one favored for your class type.  React to your triggers when it tells you to Cure Disease.

1Gifts of Anashti Sul footnotes: based on player feedback/observations
- No visuals reported as to area targeted, and/or emote warning if player targeted.
- Her cast appears to occur at 35s intervals, beginning with two casts at a time; increasing to three at some point later.
- Gifts cast may come into play at xx% HP of Anashti Sul.
- Lisard reported he was able to back away when Gifts was cast and avoid the effects.
- Dimerall and Nuttann however reported that from afar they were hit by Gifts.
- It does appear to be a targeted ae, and that adjusting position after the cast occurs can have favorable outcomes.
- If it's a player targeted ae, being clumped together will affect more players naturally.
- More testing/experimentation/observations required.

That's it for now, our next attempt will be more revealing and allow us to test/refine our strategy.

Temporary notes: Based on our group mission experiences (keeping here for now, as they are still applicable going forward)

When cast
You receive the Gift of Living Death.  You have taken 65000 points of damage.

Dot ticking
You have taken 48750 damage from Gift of Living Death by Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay.

This dot also blocks Roar of the Lion, probably because it is on the regen slot.


Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay moans, 'Ahhh, that feels much better. I am disease and corruption incarnate, Owmy. You should be more careful with the magic you wield!

Text from trap that spawns
You are lashed by tendrils of pestilence!  You have taken 32500 points of damage.

Trigger Addition - Disease and Corruption

Thanks Raccoo, I added a trigger for when this occurs that'll display the player name so we can at least track it easier.

Trigger Additions

Added the following triggers to the base package tbm-demiplane-of-decay-anashti-12-13-2015-954pm.gtp:

- Boss Warp, when she ports between levels.
- Event Timer, reminder based on Anashti messages x/xx minute(s) remaining.
- Gift of Living Death - Check Overlay First - Get Curse Cured if you don't have Endless Life DoT.
- Gift of Endless Life - Bad effect - DO NOT CURE (this is an overlay when you have Endless Life DoT).
- Broken Promises - Failure (cured wrong DoT).  Whether you cured or someone else did, this will let you know when it happens.


Gifts of Anashti Sul

Gifts of Anashti Sul (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=Gifts+of+Anashti+Sul) is a Targeted AE, Range: 10000', AE Range: 25'. 

When Anashti casts Gifts of Anashti Sul, it has a 50% chance to trigger either Gift of Endless Life (good effect) or Gift of Living Death (bad effect).  However, I believe the 50% chance factor is variable based on two range mod integer values in the spell data which affect the chance % to which either DoTs are cast.  The degree to which these range mods factor in is perhaps based on the distance the player is in relation to the source target, or maybe the distance the player is in relation to other player(s).  I suspect; but have yet to thoroughly test, that it is the latter, not the former, and that each time Anashti Sul casts Gifts of Anashti Sul AE, if no other player is within 25' range of you, that there is a very small chance or no chance that you will be hit with either DoT type.

Putting the technical aside for the moment, here are both the trigger DoT effects we're dealing with:

Gift of Endless Life (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=+Gift+of+Endless+Life):    Beneficial:
(Do not cure this!)Increase Current HP by 15000 per tick
Increase Current HP by 15000
Cast: Broken Promises (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=Broken+Promises) on Curer (Detrimental)
Increase Curse Counter by 1
60s duration
 
Broken Promises (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=Broken+Promises): Detrimental (on curer)
Stun for 6s
Decrease Current Mana by 306574/999999
Decrease Current Endurance by 324844/999999
Decrease Current HP by 20000/100000
Autocast: Broken Promises Trigger (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=Broken+Promises+Trigger): Caster AE, Range: 10000', AE Range: 10000'
Broken Promises: Cast on you message: You've drawn the ire of Anashti Sul.
 
 
Gift of Living Death (http://www.raidloot.com/Spells.aspx?name=+Gift+of+Living+Death):    Detrimental:
(CURE THIS!)Decrease Current HP by 75000 per tick
Decrease Current HP by 100000
Increase Curse Counter by 29
60s duration
Patterns:
Cast on you: You receive the Gift of Living Death.
Cast on other: Soandso receives the Gift of Living Death.
Wears off: You reject the Gift of Living Death.


What to do if you or someone has BOTH DoTs

You don't do anything.  Basically you/they have to be healed through the duration until Living Death fades naturally after 60s.

If you use Eradicate Curse for example, it's a two slot curse cure for 30 counters each.  That means in the two DoT situation; regardless of the DoT order, Eradicate Curse will remove BOTH DoTs.  So you don't want to do this on yourself or anyone else.

Also, as mentioned previously in the strategy post, you MUST AVOID USING ANY heals that cure more than one type of counter. For example, do not use a Group Heal with Cures.  Otherwise, you'll cure others in your group that may have the good dot, and later on when Withering debuffs are in play the other disease cures will wreak havoc curing the wrong debuffs on your teammates.


Notes:

I'm holding off on sharing another trigger which is based on Gifts of Anashti Sul cast, on a repeating 35s timer.  Where it notifies before it elapses to move away from other players.  I just want to test it first before putting it out there in case it ends up not working correctly.

It is ok to cure someone else if they have both Gift of Endless Life and Gift of Living Death. But if you cure yourself you get DT (maybe DI fires and you go oom.. :P). Maybe they will change this in a patch, but it's safe for now.

I noticed when the AE's land the MT loses a lot of healing, I assume because lots of us are curing. Maybe we can have 1 healer in MT group continue healing and the other work cures. Also, healers (clerics at least) can stand on the same floor and don't need to run up/down. Saves a lot of trouble.

Post by: Zenyan on January 17, 2016, 04:28:49 PM
Mildy and I did what she suggested in her post on last nights runs. She focused on curing and I focused on healing the MTO. Seemed to work pretty well for us.

The real hiccups came on port down when the tank gets pulled down and has a chance to be placed peculiarly. Ended up saving Third Spire and Divine Gaurdian til right before the 55% mark to help ensure a smooth transition to the lower level. Did it help? I'd like to think so but it could've been a RNG fluke.

Another point, the enfeeblement casts (spell slow / snare) start coming in fairly quick succession of each other at a certain point. Keeping it cured seemed a bit out of the question most of the time. It's probably best kept for making sure kiters aren't getting eaten and perhaps right before the port downs/ups to help dps travel quicker.

Watch your cures on MTO order when the Withering Debuffs come into play. One bad debuff change on the MT and the fight changes quickly.

We got pretty damn close last night. She's toast next week if we can turn up our DPS game to an 11!

[Thu Jan 21 20:03:00 2016] Gimamam performs an critical blast! (5368)

i moved with raid, up and down. I also noticed that if DOt was not cursed cured it spawned a tentacle mob in spot i was standing. This was confirmed all times we tried this event

[Thu Jan 21 19:50:28 2016] You tell your party, 'Cure plzzz..........'
[Thu Jan 21 19:50:28 2016] Nintap delivers a critical blast! (104603)
[Thu Jan 21 19:50:28 2016] Wind of Malosinete -> Anashti_Sul,_Damsel_of_Decay00
[Thu Jan 21 19:50:29 2016]   You have taken 32500 points of damage.

i once had both dots and called for Curse cure and used Distillate of immunization,
[Thu Jan 21 19:50:52 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay says 'You will not evade me Foaaniel!'
[Thu Jan 21 19:50:52 2016] You have been summoned!

i noticed once Tanks went down, DPS was stagnant, i then started tells with Return of the Exile mage

Thu Jan 21 20:01:32 2016] Sancus  /tells foaaniel, must have coordinated  max dps when she ports down and if she isn't dead by the time she ports down 2nd time there is too many roots and they wiped it out. You must do at least 3mil DPS at that time. u cannot let her go back up after this

Suggested FYI;

Raid Move's @ 54% down and to right of tunnel
Tanks move when she ports
tanks gain aggro
tanks call BURN
wizzie MAX BURN
Rog MAX DPS
zerker MAX DPS + Aura
BST Max Burn
Fl raiders do the most damage we can

We need to massive MAX BURN MOB down on first time we go down. I was talking to a mage in Return of Exile, and they coordinated wizards, mages, zerkers, Rog to unleash there biggest burns on mob to equal 3 Million on mob during  bottom potion of this  event.

 I WANT THIS BITCH DEAD >:(

Bolts and Spears cannot go through floors - you have to move downstairs to hit the boss. You can still cast on her, but the bolt will hit the floor and fizzle out. Bolts cannot go through zone geometry - if they hit the ground or a wall or anything like that, they never hit the mob and do 0 damage.

(http://i.imgur.com/Scq6LTz.gif)

I'm pretty sure your pet's names were Xonobab and Zarober; Gimamam is an actual player. Maybe I was OOR, but I have 0 damage from your fire pets in my parse.

I never knew you were a pet either.

Pet spell damage isn't echo'd in 3rd person.  The same is true for incoming spell damage against players, in 3rd person context.  You'll see the effect message, but not the damage amount.  But in 1st person, the damage is appended to the effect message.

Pet example:
[Thu Jan 21 22:05:56 2016] Pachydactylus begins to cast a spell. <Lion's Roar 5>
[Thu Jan 21 22:05:56 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay is rent by lion fangs.

Player example:
[Thu Jan 21 22:49:14 2016] Padraigg begins to cast a spell. <Lion's Roar 5>
[Thu Jan 21 22:49:14 2016] Padraigg hit Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay for 16717 points of non-melee damage.
[Thu Jan 21 22:49:14 2016] Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay is rent by lion fangs.

1st person damage taken example:
[Thu Jan 21 21:45:31 2016] You are lashed by tendrils of pestilence!  You have taken 32200 points of damage.

3rd person damage taken example:
[Thu Jan 21 22:12:02 2016] Padraigg is lashed by tendrils of pestilence!

I've noticed that sometimes I take the damage, from what I assume is the tendrils since it has the same amount of HP, but I don't see the first part saying it is the tendrils.

That's damage from Bokon Blast (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=42910&source=Live).  Not all spells have context effect messages, and therefore there is no message to prepend to the damage.

Just adding my experience to this .. I highly doubt standing in one spot has anything to do with tentacle spawns.  First attempt tonight, I never moved once and never got a tentacle. 

Also a suggestion.  In the past, I've noticed a lot of people are late on their calls for curse cures, plus typing takes their attention away from the fight.  So, I had my group set up hotkeys sending me a tell for cures, I then made one with this:
/pause 5, /stopcast
/pause 5, /rt
/cast 7 (or whatever spell slot you have your curse cure in)

Had a MUCH easier time keeping up with curing and keeping group alive .. as long as you, and they, are paying attention.  The dot is deadly, and it's easy enough to deal with if you have the triggers (and you should!).  Just something other curers may want to work out with their groups as well.  Alive raiders = a good thing :)

Not sure about non-melee groups, but shaman with 5 meleers get the curse dot on usually 2-4 people at a time.

I've tried staying up top, and running down. Either way, if someone is in the tunnel they go OOR for cures at some points.
Staying up top seems to be ok, I think my epic hits through the floor (I get hit with the bard epic through the floor anyway), my cures and heals go through the floor. Downside is if I have to call someone, I /corpse and they get rezzed up top so they'd have to run back down.

Shaman do get group corruption cure (identical to the druid's).

I noticed that often I die to the following sequence:
You have taken 32500 points of damage.
You have taken 32500 points of damage.
You receive the Gift of Living Death.
You have taken 65000 points of damage.
You receive the Gift of Living Death.
You have taken 65000 points of damage.
You have been slain by Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay.

I can be full health and BOOM, in a second or two, I am dead.  Happens more often than I like to think.

Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay defeated!  Nice work everyone.  To those players who were unable to attend Saturday, your efforts prior contributed to this victory as well!

I changed the trigger for healers preference. It tells you how many cures you need to get to the preferred debuff (Limbs). I use two different potions depending on how many cures I need. Distillate of Immunization XIII for 1 cure, and Distillate of Immunization XV for 2 cures. I probably used 1-2 potions per attempt, and it saves me time and a spell slot.

When Anashti casts Gifts of Anashti Sul, it has a 50% chance to trigger either Gift of Endless Life (good effect) or Gift of Living Death (bad effect).  However, I believe the 50% chance factor is variable based on two range mod integer values in the spell data which affect the chance % to which either DoTs are cast.  The degree to which these range mods factor in is perhaps based on the distance the player is in relation to the source target, or maybe the distance the player is in relation to other player(s).  I suspect; but have yet to thoroughly test, that it is the latter, not the former, and that each time Anashti Sul casts Gifts of Anashti Sul AE, if no other player is within 25' range of you, that there is a very small chance or no chance that you will be hit with either DoT type.

I'm pretty sure there is something like this mechanism at play... I always try to stand away from everyone (I stand on the fin things upstairs) and I've never been hit by a curse until downstairs (and sometimes even longer)

Just putting my 2 cents on this, and only my opinion, not the opinion of those in charge!

I am thinking we should try reverting back to the strategy where we do our main burn after her first port downstairs.  There are fewer tentacles, and from my experience, get hit with enfeeblement less often.  As the event progresses and we get more tentacles, melee are having a really hard time getting near the boss, and reduce our dps substantially.  Not to mention that as it goes on, more deaths which farther cuts into dps.  On many attempts with burn being on port back up, I have never really been able to get a main burn on the boss due to either a death or too many tentacles near the boss.

Maybe try melee burn on port down, ranged burn on port up?  Just feel like melee aren't getting utilized well by waiting to use our burns until later in the event.

Good point, Pad. After so long, it's inevitable to have her podium surrounded by tentacles. The longer we take, the more moving and adjusting people have to do get into position.

I would assume this is decided on before, but we have quite a few dps still up top when she ports down. The majority should already be waiting in the tunnel (hug the walls, to keep tentacles from spawning in the main throughway.) for when she pops. Maybe keep some ranged dps or the groups with Selo's up top to push her to her port %.

Just some suggestions.

This is the trigger I made that helps you to know if you are inside the tentacle aura.  The other one that Furro made lets you know if you are making the tentacles, but this one lets you know if you are inside ANY tentacle aura.

It has one command -- GET OUT OF THE AURA, FAST!

Seemed last night we had a lot of Bokon up during the latter stages which made it hard for dps to dps.  Found this video, not sure if can see anything from it.  Video shows both decay raids, but during the damsel raid, it seems to highlight the guy that is dealing with the Bokon.  Again, not sure if this is what we are doing, or if can get anything from the video, just figured out would post it due to it seeming to focus on that, and that it seems successful

Yes Padraigg, that is what the idea of what is happening downstairs is supposed to be.

even when we have 2 mobs stacked on top of each other downstairs where you can see them ghost in each others images, the ooze sometimes will still only hit one while directly above.

thank you for the video, it doesn't show much beyond that raid using 1 tank successfully to do bokon, where we are failing with 2-4.

Post by: Brenlaven on March 05, 2016, 07:38:50 PM
First, that video seems to be of multiple attempts unless that one toon can both tank and pull bokon at once. Second, the DPS they bring is probably different than what Freelance brings. Not necessarily in total DPS but in range versus melee. Who hasn't put Quickburn on ignore yet for whining how Machin Shin leaves 'x' type DPS up top and 'y' type DPS goes below.  So just take those videos as tools to pick up minor things Freelance can consider...

BTW, not suggesting Pad is doing the QuickBurn shuffle...just reminding folks that each raid force is different.

One thing is they slow the bokon. Not a big deal maybe. But the video showed slow hitting bokon.

Also, the order of the roots seem more consistent. There are two greenish root icons (Blusterbolt/Flusterbolt?) then one of them is overwritten by Vinelash (Ranger/Drood) or Spore Spiral (Drood) or some ranger single target normal root brown icon. In almost every case that seems to be the order.

Another is the tank lines up the bokon to be punt rooted to the fire.  This punt root is probably Blustherbolt/Flusterbolt but I don't know the recast timer.

Drood Paralytic Spore (single target punt root) lasts for 3+ mins but is overwritten by Vinelash (70 secs max?) which is not helpful. But the recast on Paralytic Spore is 1 minute while Vinelash is just the global cooldown timer.  So the CC team has to decide if they want to try to use longer term roots like Paralytic Spore / Spray (multi mob version) as just another positioning tool since they both punt the mobs like Blusterbolt/Flusterbolt and then reapply Vinelash over and over to hold them in place.

If the CC team can reapply Vinelash consistently (it has a refresh after all) and keep the bokon on the fire then maybe Freelance can reduce the use of a tank to keep them all on the fire once port down happens. But for now that tank strat seems to be helping quite a bit.

So if CC team want to work out a line them up and punt them to fire tactic that is great. Minisca is wanting to coordinate the use of oozes better as well to kill more in a single shot. Combining these tweaks should help with the bokon.

I don't focus on the the DPS of the boss when she ports down so this may be happening already but another observation from that video is that only the tank and back up tank are on the platform. All other melee DPS seem to be in the water around the platform. Again, DPS differences but this means the tentacles will spawn in the water so maybe the tank doesn't have to stand in a tentacle on a second port down. Her hitbox seems large enough to be in the water and still hit her...so if it isn't happening perhaps that can be tried on the next run.

Good stuff Pad. The video shows a few things to consider as Freelance refines the strategy.  8% and 5% are close and these minor adjustments might help get her dead.

I've been using a trigger to show me which members of my group need curse cured (have to update it manually each time group members change). I think I've made it so it will drop the overlay if you cure someone, but it is untested. Tested, and it works!

I just made another trigger that should say when anashti is casting the debuffs, every 35 seconds, but I haven't tested that one.

It is actually cast every 25 seconds. Updated the trigger.

Just to get this in the forums... there have been changes to the tendrils and they're a lot less awful now... in particular, they despawn within a few minutes (3 min maybe?) which limits how many are up at one time.

Post by: Brenlaven on May 02, 2016, 04:30:14 AM
Freelance should be able to get these achievements completed to get the reward Eye of Decay. It gives a type 3 aug that improves damage for all abilities by 1%. With further achievements in other raids it can reach up to 10%. Seems to scale from 1% to 3%, 5%, 7%, and then 10%.

Based on the wins in the DKP site and Brenlaven's achievements it looks like Gifts Unopened was first achieved on 30 Jan 2016 (first win).  Et tu, Kebaber was won on 11 Mar 2016 (if not earlier?).  The only one left it Seven at One Blow at least for Brenlaven.

While this event is still a challenge, Freelance has proven to be able to get it down on a consistent basis.  With the expansion beaten everyone should be eager to focus on getting the events down efficiently and trying some achievements when Furro calls for them.

Wins are most important but when Furro calls for going for achievements we all should work as best as we can to get them down for the benefits everyone gets from them.

There are people who are still unaware how the 40% debuffs work. Would suggest adding in that we can all use disease cure potions to flip the debuff to the preferred for our class so we can be self efficient.

I carry extra XV and XIII disease cure potions on me to hand out to FL raiders when they need. The Distillate of Immunization XV will cure two debuffs, and Distillate of Immunization XIII cures one debuff. They are instant cast, but have a refresh timer.

The debuffs flip in this order, Faith > Physicality > Limbs. There are 29 counters you must remove to change to the next debuff. If you cure 58+ counters, it will skip one debuff, and land on the next.

/tt Healer: For Faith use Distillate of Immunization XV (cures twice). For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization XIII (cures once). 
/tt DPS: For Limbs use Distillate of Immunization XIII (cures once). For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization XV (cures twice).
/tt Tank: For Physicality use Distillate of Immunization VII+.


===Cures one debuff===
Shield of Immaculate Light = cures 35 counters
Immunization VII = cures 32 counters
Immunization VIII = cures 36 counters
Immunization IX = cures 40 counters
Immunization X = cures 44 counters
Immunization XI = cures 48 counters
Immunization XII = cures 52 counters
Immunization XIII = cures 56 counters

===Cures two debuffs===
Immunization XIV = cures 60 counters
Immunzation XV = cures 64 counters

===More than one cast to cure===
Cleansing Rod = cures 20 counters

Thanks Raccoo.  I incorporated the above info into the strategy post.

I also updated other areas of the strat post.  Added my spell lineup as a Cleric.  It may be helpful to include Shaman, Druid and Paladin spell lineups as well, if anyone wants to provide theirs.  I think it'll help newcomers to the event, and perhaps even some regulars.
