Brief Event Overview

Shei Vinitras is boss.

Periodically, dator xi xavuelim spawn and path towards Shei. Add will heal Shei if reaches him.

Datiar xi tavuelim adds spawn.

Shade adds Datiar xi tekar and Datiar xi pharuaim spawn with harmful auras and roam around main floor event area.

Players emoted with curable Death Touch effects.

Shei Vinitras reacts differently depending on number of players near him.

Strategy

MA1 - Assist on Dator xi xavuelim adds (they heal boss if reaches him).

MA2 - Players that can Mez/Root - Use Mez and Root to kill Datiar xi tavuelim adds.

Only assigned groups up top at Shei Vinitras -- Need to limit number of players near Shei or we suffer damage.

Death Touch Emoted - GET CURED - Self cure or ask in group if you're not able to cure.

Avoid the roaming shade adds -- They have harmful DD/Mana Drain auras. Whichever direction shade faces, they path straight line to other side.

Tanks:
- Paladins Splash and help cure emoted players

Healers:
- Load cure Sanctified Blood
- Cure players emoted, self when emoted
- Cure takes two or three casts, because each cure is replaced by a different Touch of Vinitras

MA Kill Order: Dator xi xavuelim

That's it for now!

Brief Event Overview

Two stage event. First stage involves named golems. Second stage The Amalgam Arbiter boss.

First stage of event consists of three named golems: Asterated, Dendritic, and Starseed.

Upon event start, a random golem activates. When one dies, another activates.

Each golem has a unique mechanic with emote.

Each golem drops shards: Charged Golem Shard.

When ALL three golems are killed, they reform and come together as The Amalgam Arbiter.

The Amalgam Arbiter inherits all of the mechanics and abilities of the previous golems, with some enhancements of its own.

A Charged Golem Shard click item is used to remove the Crushing Energy Field DoT + debuff in order to prevent increased damage from Arbiter's Golem Stomp AE.

Asterated Golem:

Asterated casts Gathering Energy and Gathering Cold debuff on TWO players together.

Asterated then begins repeatedly casting Energetic Field and Crystal Coating debuff (increases damage from Energetic Explosion and Frost Explosion).

After 18 seconds, each emoted player's debuff fades and casts Energetic Explosion or Frost Explosion 180k AE DD + Mana Drain at their location.

Anyone hit by Energetic/Frost Explosion AE, with Energetic Field or Crystal Coating debuff, will be hit for increased damage by 250%~

Dendritic Golem:

Dendritic spawns adds that involve a Stone mechanic with emote. A visible ring appears around emoted players. Players run away to avoid hurting others.

Dendritic goes invulnerable while adds are active.

Starseed Golem:

Starseed warns everyone with an emote and 10s later casts Decapitating Shards AE many times.

Players duck for 10s avoids being hit by Decapitating Shards.

Strategy

No specific burn stage. Utilize your discs/burns early; during three golem stage, then reuse them as they refresh.

Energetic/Frost Explosion AE has a big range, both emoted players need to run far from the raid.

Golem is invulnerable during adds. Assist MA accordingly.

CC - Can temporarily charm lesser shards.

Charged Golem Shard - Click Team:

Charged Golem Shard click items drop from the three golem bosses: Asterated, Dendritic, and Starseed

Members of this team loot a Charged Golem Shard click item. The item is LORE and has one charge.

The shard clicks are used during the final boss stage of the event, when The Amalgam Arbiter is active.

A shard is clicked when the following emote occurs: The massive golem begins to give off an immense amount of energy.

The shard click effect removes Crushing Energy Field DoT and mana drain.

Note:
- Small team of clickers assigned, one to three players
- Coordinator determines when to start clicks, can call out players in Discord or in-game who is up next; whatever works best/up to player organizing
- Due to potentially limited number of available shards, the coordinator may decide to skip the first few rounds of emotes

Tanks:
- Tank adds out of golem AE Rampage range; at designated campfire/spot
-- Alternatively, MTO move golem accordingly

Healers: Splash, splash, splash!

MA Kill Order: Dendridic shards, then lesser shards.

That's it for now!

This is a preliminary write up, which will be amended accordingly based on our experiences and feedback provided by our raiders.

Brief Event Overview

Two stage event. First stage involves named dragons. Second stage Vulak`Aerr boss.

First stage of event consists of four named dragons, located in each corner area: Cargalia, Honvar, Melalafen, and Sivar.

Each named dragon is IMMUNE to one of the following elements: Cold, Poison/Disease, Fire, Magic

Upon event start, all four dragons activate.

All the dragons have one or more directional AEs.

Being hit by the Frontal AE from any dragon grants an Infused Velium Crystal click item. Each dragon grants a different crystal click item.

All of the corner area dragons must be killed within approximately three minutes of each other or they return to life.

Once all corner area dragons are killed, Vulak`Aerr activates in middle event area.

Vulak spawns tomb guardian drake adds periodically in each of the corner areas.

When Vulak`Aerr dies, the event is complete.

All drakes must be killed before Vulak can be killed.

Device in the Center of the Tomb:

When Vulak is active, in the middle area of the event is a device that emotes two players together.

Emoted players run to the proper corner accordingly.

Failure results in a penalty golem add of type based on the color of the power of the deep sky emote. Example, deep red sky emote failure results in a burning golem add.

Adds path to middle, linger and eventually explode.

Ball of Ice and Stone:

Separately, players are emoted and trapped in Ball of Ice and Stone. Destroying the Ball of Ice and Stone frees trapped players.

Rainbow Aura:

Once Vulak HP reach 35%~ a gem warning emote indicates one of the corner area crystals is activating. Seconds later a huge damaging rainbow colored aura appears; covering a huge part of the lower event area.

Strategy

1st Stage: Corner Dragons

Corner Dragons - Pace yourselves against Sivar named dragon and watch for kill all call.

Be mindful each dragon has one or more immunity, adjust your spells accordingly.

Groups at Sivar, priority is killing the adds. Temporarily mezzing confused types, until ancient wardens dead.

2nd Stage: Vulak

React to deep sky emote by running to the corner area the trigger tells you to.

During big Rainbow aura - Everyone move between SE and SW corners in lower event area (trigger tells you).

Golems - CC team snare them - Do not use knockback root (can cause them to warp to middle).

Melee DPS - Assist MA1 on Drake adds.

Range DPS - Assist MA2 on Ball of Ice and Stone (to free trapped players inside).

Tanks:
- MTO, try and turn Vulak accordingly for the directional AEs
- MTO, move Vulak to lower corner area when emote says

Healers:
- Slowers, be mindful of each dragon immunity and use proper resist check slow accordingly
-- Sivar requires a Disease slow

MA Kill Order: 1st Stage - Adds. All dragons simultaneously. 2nd Stage - Adds, trapped players, Vulak

Details of NPCs/Mechanics

Vulak'Aerr

Once all corner area dragons are killed, Vulak`Aerr activates in middle event area, with some rather interesting lore:

[Sat Jun 19 22:04:24 2021] The magical device releases a wave of healing meant for the guardian dragons. They are not there to recieve it and so it finds its way into the mortals.
[Sat Jun 19 22:04:29 2021] Vulak roars in anger and frustration, 'You must always interfere! It is your fault that I must do this, must disturb her on her great flight! Leave, pests, and I might offer a small word on your behalf!'

Vulak'Aerr attacks and immediately kills the weakest mortal, a Dark Elf. No loss there at least.

Until Vulak is active, an emote indicates it cannot be cast on: Your magic fails. It has grown too weak after traveling so far before reaching Vulak'Aerr.

Rainbow Aura:

Once Vulak HP reach 35%~ a gem warning emote indicates one of the corner area crystals is activating. Seconds later a huge damaging rainbow colored aura appears; covering a huge part of the lower event area.

Players caught in this aura will die quickly.

Brief Event Overview

Trash to clear to reach event area.

Aaryonar has front and tail directional AEs.

Grolik spawns when Aaryonar flies into the air at 60%~ HP.

Aaryonar returns to ground when Grolik 30%~ HP.

Aaryonar directional AEs no longer occur upon return to ground.

Echo auras provide protection against The Heart of the Temple AEs. Also provides buffs to enable damage to Grolik.

Elemental orbs spawn periodically and provide a bonus or penalty depending upon interaction with correct Echo auras.

Event complete when Aaryonar reaches 20%~ HP.

Echo Auras:

Echo auras spawn in fixed locations. However, the aura that appears in each fixed location is random.

Mechanics in play result in benefit or penalty when interacting with the Echo auras. When/who interacts matters based on emotes and Echo of X buff rank.

When a "distant roar" emote happens, the related Echo aura will provide an Echo of X protection against the incoming temple AE.

Penalties such as traps/AEs from each Echo Aura happen when the "resonate" emote occurs and players with the highest rank of Echo of X interact with the related aura.

Earth (brown) - Traps players including those nearby. Closer you are, more damage you take.

Shadow (purple) - Banishes players to west area.

Ice (blue) - Pulls player towards center.

Fire (red) - Drops three fire decals on affected player. Decals are fire ring auras.

Strategy

Aura Team members announced during prep. Add them to your ETW to heal and monitor. They must be kept alive.

1st aura cycle - NO ONE ENTER AURAS except Aura Team members. Aura Team gets Rank 1 Echo buff.

2nd aura cycle and onward - OK TO ENTER AURAs - We annnounce it in raidsay, several times.

Emote tells you to TOUCH a certain color aura then RETURN TO RAID. Make sure you do this for protection from AE damage. Return to raid is important to ensure you're in range of Splash/Rain/Group heals.

DO NOT STAY IN AURA. You only need to touch it to get Echo buff and then immediately return to raid.

Raidsay coordinator for calls - TOUCH <COLOR> AURA - Return to Raid:

A Raidsay coordinator to help raid by calling out which aura to TOUCH then immediately Return to Raid.

Bane Proc:

Fire bane melee proc is one shot use. To replenish it, one must enter a non-fire aura then return to Fire aura to get a new bane proc and use it on Grolik or guardian adds.

Grolik Proc Rotation:

Players are assigned to this role and called upon by name to use their bane damage proc on Grolik.

Written by Raiena. Normally coordinated by Centare.

Make sure you have Trigger package "Grolik Proc Rotation".

Players assigned will FIRST need to step into the Fire Aura to receive beneficial buff Fiery Touch.

THEN you will need to step into the Aura that was called out by the Raid Aura Coordinator. Obtaining the second aura will not remove your Fiery Touch beneficial buff.

You only have 20 seconds to do this.

Once you have Fiery Touch, your primary goal is to stay alive. DO NOT engage Guardians or anything else that may be up. You are saving your proc for Grolik.
*Note: The proc will only work on constructs.

When called by MTO (Centare has been coordinating this, but always subject to change), you will run over to Grolik and melee him until your Expenditure of Fire activates. Your trigger package will let you when it has fired.

Once you have done that you may return to raid and help clearing any remaining adds until next round of auras appear and repeat.

Casters & Pets:

Kill an earthen prison quickly to prevent Root Ball Exlosion - 425k Caster PB AE.

During Grolik, position as indicated on diagram and move out of LoS when Grolik's Silence emote fires.

Tanks:

- MTO, position Aaryonar as indicated on diagram, facing east, to prevent Front/Tail AE hitting raid (Aaryonar inactive at 60%~HP, active again when Grolik 30%~ HP)
- MTO, position Grolik at location indicated on diagram

- Add tanks to move Orbs into matching Echo auras
- Add tanks be ready for guardians, tank until killed by raid

Healers:

During Grolik, position as indicated on diagram and move out of LoS when Grolik's Silence emote fires.

Move into LoS of raid on Grolik to drop your Splash/Rains.

Clerics, prep with self-buff: Composite Blessing

MA Kill Order: Boss, Grolik with bane, casters/pets on prisons via MA2/ETW raid mark

Aura Team Members:

Each Aura Team member is assigned one of the following Auras; differentiated by color: Earth, Shadow, Ice or Fire.

Auras appear shortly after a "distant roar" emote. Auras spawn in fixed locations; however, the Aura type that appears is random.

The Aura Team must locate their assigned Aura and step in to receive Echo of X (rank. I - V) buff, then step out.

For each player, only one Echo rank increase per type per cycle is possible.

Entering a different aura replaces an existing Echo with that of the aura just entered.

Members of the Aura Team must never enter the wrong Aura!

Auras resonate periodically, directing associated effects at the player in the raid with the highest Echo of X rank. The targeted effects are distinct by aura type as follows:

Earth (brown)		Prison traps player; others nearby

Shadow (purple)		Banishes player to west room area

Ice (blue)		Pulls player towards center

Fire (red)		Drops three fire rings at player

Aura Team Members must ensure their Echo ranks are higher than everyone else to guarantee resonating effects hit them only.

At start of event, ONLY the Aura Team enters their assigned auras for a complete cycle. This ensures their Echo of X rank will be highest among the raid.

Once all of the Aura Team members obtain an Echo of X, everyone else in the raid can safely react to "distant roar" emotes and move to the correct aura as directed to obtain the Echo of X buff, which provides protection against the incoming Roar of X AE damage.

The moment an Aura Team member dies they lose their Echo of X buff. As a result, the ENTIRE RAID must STOP entering that particular aura until the assigned Aura Team member can regain their Echo of X buff to a level above the entire raid.

In order to damage Grolik, players must have an Echo of Flame buff; obtained by entering the Flame aura when the associated "distant roar" emote occurs.

Echo of Flame grants the player Fiery Touch; a golem bane damage buff that procs Expenditure of Fire.

Brief Event Overview

Event is triggered. No trash to clear.

Event area is limited to tiled floor section. Any player that goes out of bounds during event is automatically zoned out to The Western Wastes.

Sontalak has directional AEs; front, sides and combinations of left side plus tail and right side plus tail.

Drake adds spawn at 3% HP intervals of Sontalak starting at 85%.

A helper NPC named Beldion Icewind provides protection from Lava Breath cast by Sontalak.

A dragon statue emotes random players. The statue turns towards the player emoted and a green aura appears beneath the players feet. Anyone between the green aura and statue will be hit with narrow beam AE + DoT (Volcanic Jet - 400k Directional AE + 100k DoT).

Aura of Banishment:

An aura constantly moves around the event area counter-clockwise.

Anyone caught inside aura when it activates is automatically zoned out to The Western Wastes.

An emote warns when aura is about to activate. Additionally, the aura activates without warning at Sontalak HP~ percentages: 74%, 56%, 28% and 7%~.

Strategy

DPS Sontalak until 80%~ and STOP.

From 80% onward ONLY Necros are to DPS Sontalak (additional players may be assigned at the time).

We only want ONE to TWO burning aggressor adds up at any given time. As we are killing one add, the 2nd can be moved into position for DPS to efficiently transition to the next add.

Assist MA to kill each burning aggressor add. Kill burning aggressor adds in outer tiled area.

We are killing ALL adds, including combative types that are mezzable.

Reminders:

Avoid aura! 3rd person view helps. Positioning in Line-of-sight (LoS) of the aura is helpful to keep an eye on it.

Avoid front of Sontalak -- Big dispel and damage. Be mindful MTO cannot always position Sontalak favourably in this regard.

Healers can shift between two spots and effectively avoid the aura. I currently favour West and East, rinse/repeat.

Aura of Banishment Triggers:

Stay out of roaming Aura of Banishment.

Overlay triggers indicate when you are INSIDE or OUTSIDE the aura. Only one trigger will appear at any given time.

When aura glows emote occurs a trigger will text/voice as: "Aura Active Soon - Check Overlay". As a player, you look at your overlay and adjust position if needed.

Visual in-game configuration suggestions for easier focus on Aura:

To make it easier to see the Aura of Banishment it is helpful to reduce the visual clutter in-game by adjusting your settings to hide players, names and pets.

In-game Options (ALT-O), General tab

Hide Players: All
Hide Pets: All

In-game Options (ALT-O), Display tab

Uncheck box next to Show PC Names (or use command: /shownames off)
Uncheck box next to Show Pet Names

Aura settings near the bottom of this strategy post are settings for Particles in Options (ALT-O), Display tab.

Tanks:

- MTO, position Sontalak where it activates, adjust slightly as able to avoid aura and being banished
- MTO, helps if able to adjust Sontalak to prevent Frontal AE from hitting main raid, other AEs if possible (we understand it won't be 100%)

Burning Aggressor Tanks:

Tank burning aggressor adds outer tiled area.

Burning aggressors hit hard. If able, disc and tank a few then call switch for the next tank to step in and disc, rinse/repeat.

Healers:
- Be sure to include each add tank to ETW, not just MTO

MA Kill Order: burning aggressors, combative type adds

That's it for now!

This is a preliminary write up, which will be amended accordingly based on our experiences and feedback provided by our raiders.

* Friendly reminder: Freelance Raid Suggestion Policy regarding New Content - Don't kill the messenger -- pie management.

Brief Event Overview

Event is triggered by Dark Elf sacrifice.

There are four Crusader dragons located in different locations throughout the event area. The dragons are protecting Yelinak.

Yelinak is in the middle chamber area behind a locked door.

Each Crusader has a Frontal AE. When a dragon dies, the next dragon inherits a Caster PBAE version of one of the previously killed dragons: As the first crusader falls, a portion of its strength is given to the others.

When a dragon dies the next active dragon emotes, i.e., Grendish the Crusader shouts, 'No! Come face me! I will not allow you to defeat the Crusaders!'

Failure to engage the next Crusader quickly enough causes the event to reset.

Various adds spawn at timed intervals. Each add has a unique mechanic or ability.

Cleaning Cube:

Several large purple gelatinous cleaning cube path throughout the event area in a clockwise direction.

Any player that comes in contact with the cube will be banished to another area.

The cleaning cube is indifferent and cannot be damaged or cast on.

Statues - Colored Rings - Breath of Stones:

A pair of statues are positioned halfway from each corner location. Between the statues colored rings appear and disappear periodically.

When a ring appears the statues on each side cast a directional cone AE Breath of Stones - 353k DoT Frontal AE.

Any player that happens to be in the affected area will be hit by Breath of Stones and take DoT damage.

Yelinak's Dragon Lord's Potency:

Beginning when the 3rd Crusader is active, every 2 minutes 20 seconds a warning emote indicates for players to spread out to different areas (Power begins to gather ...).

Players have about 40 seconds after initial warning to strategically spread out to other areas.

Failure of players to properly spread out results in Yelinak's Dragon Lord's Potency - 275k Caster PBAE + Mana Drain (475' range).

Subsequent emotes indicate overall failure or success by area.

Strategy

Prep: Trash clear the banish areas.

Starting with one of the Crusaders. From there we go to the next dragon that emotes when active.

Avoid cleaning cubes. Cubes increase in numbers as event goes on.

When moving to areas and passing between the statues, hug the statue walls to avoid being hit by massive DoT.

1st Crusader straight forward kill.

2nd Crusader:

FULL BURN on Crusader
Everyone KILL Adds when they spawn, except Necros who stay on Crusader
When Adds spawn just as Crusader dies - DO NOT MOVE - KILL ADDS FIRST

Only MTO group move to 3rd Crusader when this happens

3rd Crusader - Power gather emotes - Assigned players move to designated areas (rinse/repeat).

4th Crusader - Continuation of above.

Adds Quick Reference:

Adds spawn at Zone-in and Yelinak's door area.

Assigned tanks to pull adds to raid. Tanks run to position in advance of adds spawning (we'll remind in raidsay).

ADD	SPAWN LOCATION	Ability
An atrium disciple	Yelinak door	Heals boss
A bodyguard	Yelinak door	Spawns pet at boss

a domicile defender	Zone-in	Silences (2 mins)
A foyer guardian	Zone-in	Target AE emotes

Tanks:

- MTO position Crusader facing away from main raid, into corner
- MTO keep Crusader out of path of cleaning cube

- Offtank Crusader pet (despawns when a bodyguard dies)

- Tanks assigned for each add type to pull add to raid

- Keep adds out of path of cleaning cube
- Adds summon

Healers:

- Splash/Group Heal when trigger fires

Enchanters:
- Charm a domicile defender - Domiciles cast invulnerable on players (Locked Mind, 2 min duration)
- Charm breaks immediately, but Locked Mind fades when charmed
-- Trigger indicates when to charm

Details of NPCs/Mechanics

The Crusaders

Crusader dragons AE Rampage.

Each Crusader has a Frontal AE. When a dragon dies, the next dragon inherits a Caster PBAE version of one of the previously killed dragons: As the first crusader falls, a portion of its strength is given to the others.

When a dragon dies the next active dragon emotes, i.e., Grendish the Crusader shouts, 'No! Come face me! I will not allow you to defeat the Crusaders!'

Failure to engage the next Crusader quickly enough causes the event to reset.

Charayan the Crusader		Will of the Crusader - 320k DoT Frontal AE + Melee Slow + Mana Drain (18s duration, 700' range)

		Will of the Crusader - 375k DoT Caster PBAE + Melee Slow + Mana Drain (18s duration, 600' range)

		Warning Emote: Charayan concentrates his will.

		Note: - Usually 10s between concentrates emote and effect -- Can vary depending on intermediary effect being cast Example: [Sat Feb 06 22:30:13 2021] Charayan concentrates his will. [Sat Feb 06 22:30:23 2021] Charayan the Crusader begins casting Will of the Crusader.

Grendish the Crusader		Curse of the Shrine - 300k DoT Frontal AE + 1200 DS + Interrupt Casting (18s duration, 700' range)

		Warning Emote: Grendish concentrates his hatred.

		Note: - Usually 10s between concentrates emote and effect -- Can vary depending on intermediary effect being cast Example: [Sat Feb 06 20:25:03 2021] Grendish concentrates his hatred. [Sat Feb 06 20:25:13 2021] Grendish the Crusader begins casting Curse of the Shrine.

Jortreva the Crusader		Rotting Flesh - 350k DD + 290k DoT Frontal AE + Decrease Endurance 9.5k (18s duration, 700' range)

		Rotting Flesh - 330k DD + 300k DoT Caster PBAE + Decrease Endurance 10.5k (18s duration, 600' range)

Susarrak the Crusader		Dismal Rage of the Shrine - 325k DoT Frontal AE + Decrease ATK, AC, Double and Triple ATK (18s duration, 700' range)

		Dismal Rage of the Shrine - 350k DoT Caster PBAE + Decrease ATK, AC, Double and Triple ATK (18s duration, 600' range)

		Warning Emote: Susarrak concentrates his rage.

		Note: - Usually 10s between concentrates emote and effect -- Can vary depending on intermediary effect being cast Example: [Sat Feb 06 22:57:18 2021] Susarrak concentrates his rage. [Sat Feb 06 22:57:28 2021] Susarrak the Crusader begins casting Dismal Rage of the Shrine. Example, errant say (prior to and post event start): [Thu Feb 11 22:45:17 2021] Susarrak the Crusader says, 'I follow no one.' [Thu Feb 11 22:45:53 2021] You tell your raid, 'all you Centare' [Thu Feb 11 22:46:00 2021] Centare says, 'Hail, Susarrak the Crusader' [Thu Feb 11 22:46:09 2021] Centare says, 'insist' [Thu Feb 11 22:49:35 2021] Susarrak the Crusader says, 'I follow no one.'

Additional Crusader Notes:

Tantor HP locks at 3%~ while any primal guardian adds are alive.

Tantor chases targeted players. Penalty if caught is Caster PB AE Maddened Mammoth, 325k DD + Stun + Knockback and boss powerup.

Tantorlings Tantor Tantrum aura DoT effect is only active when they throw a tantrum. At other times it is safe to be within the tantorling colored aura.

Tantorlings do not hit back, can be damaged and killed, but do not despawn unless the event completes or is reset.

Strategy

Strategy

DO NOT USE AE DAMAGE - It can go through floor and aggro trash, including icy witch.

DO NOT PICKUP BILE ON GROUND - A designated person picks them up to use at strategic times during event. Bile supply is limited.

DO NOT BREAK MEZ ON KOBOLDS - MEZ and HOLD until MA calls to kill.

WATCH RAIDSAY for CAMP MOVES - Shifting between two camps (East and West, outside castle)

Map section contains Tentacle spawn locations and map file.

Bledrek must be kept out of the big green aura or penalty fleshpile adds spawn.

Assigned player uses the bile clicky to keep fleshpile adds at bay temporarily at select times.

We position NORTH end of castle. Two other camps setup east and west outside castle (for moving Bledrek back and forth to avoid green aura).

Kill Tijoely NORTH just inside castle.

MEZ and HOLD Kobolds until MA calls to kill.

Kill Errkak Icepaw to stop Kobolds from spawning.

Kill Guardian Glacierbane NORTH inside castle.

Take Bledrek to 65%, then tentacles spawn. Tanks be in position at your tentacle area before this happens.

FULL BURN on Bledrek at 60%.

Bled Enraged spawns when Bledrek dies. React to Acidic Ice Pool emote and MA calls to kill undead guide adds.
