Brief Event Overview and Strat

This is a two stage event.

First stage consists of pathing dwarves that come from the hallways; which we must stop from reaching the crystal pools.

Dwarves reaching crystals cause them to explode for big AE damage.  If too many crystals explode, Unstable Creation activates early.

Addtionally, during this stage, every 45 seconds an Apexus add spawns and attacks.

After 8-10 minutes, Unstable Creation activates and attacks, and the second stage of the event begins.

All dwarves despawn, and the timed Apexus adds stop.

Unstable Creation has a slew of AEs, all short range big DD/drains, and mixture of directional types.

Along with Creation, we must deal with various timed adds, ranging from sets of 2-4 spawning, up to 20x swarm style low HP adds. 

Stage 1:

Assigned Vinelashers (ranger/druids), cover your North/South hallways please.

Rangers HS dwarves to eliminate them between snares to stop their pathing.

Dwarves are high resist -- We need Tash/Malo totem placement at each North/South hallways.

Everyone not assigned, please assist MA1 to kill the spawning Apexus adds.

Stage 2:

Rangers HS dwarves to eliminate them completely.

Enchanters - PBAE MEZ 'unstable fragments', while MA2 w/DPS kills them.

Assigned groups, assist MA2 to kill 'unstable fragment' adds when they spawn.

Everyone MAX RANGE, unless you're a melee DPS that cannot optimize without being in range (ie, BER/ROG/etc).

In range DPS - Avoid the Front/Sides please.

Paladins / Clerics - Splash at Unstable Creation, to cover those melee in range.

Creation is your burn.  But wait for for MA to call you in please.

Any questions, please reply to this thread, and/or ask in the FLRaids:raids channel.  Thanks.

* Adjusts:

Tanks assigned adds by mob type; pickup your add(s) and OT.  Adds come from certain directions.

Adds will try and kill our friendly NPCs (the ones we're trying to protect).  Tanks, this gives you some lead time, as the NPCs can briefly take a few hits, as you pick off the mob types you're assigned to OT.  Just don't let our friendly guys die!

Tanks use your ETW can help pickup the ones you're assigned quickly.

CC, please test/report methods and post here and mention in FLRaids channel at the time what is working so we know for tweaks.

Thanks

First attempt Saturday, February 11, 2012:

Three attempts made.

Adjustments:

• Going into the Visage stage, ensure Healers within range of their assigned MT's (effect from Visage reduces heal range 90%).

 

• Delay DPS engagement on Visages until blur takes place and establishes our GTT countdown timer.

 

• MA for each Visage to help coordinate back off calls et al.

I hope there's piggy room for me in the raid. /blush!

On a related note.  Following Creation win last night, a few of us tested the following from Allah:

NOTE: Anyone (not just the requester) wanting to zone into the instance via The Font Guardian must also have the Trials of Creation and Deconstruction complete. However, you can bypass this requirement by using a guild banner to zone in. (You'll still need an Amulet of Brell to use the banner.)

The above Quote is in fact true.  Both Elnoche and Derredman tested (they're missing Creation wins), and were unable to zone into Audience instance via Font guardian.  However Elnoche was able to FIRE in without issues.

For me, I don't have Amulet, but I can pig in and with Decon/Creation wins I can use the Font guardian entry without issue.

* Important: Even if you are missing Decon or Creation wins, SHOW UP ANYWAY!  We can get you in with banner/fires in the meantime so you can participate in the raid and help the team.


One more note, based on /randoms last night, there are 6 players missing Amulets.  IF numbers are strong on gather, ideally it'd be good if we can bust out Decon RQ and pickup 3x amulets before we hit Audience.  I'll poll pigs during gather as well, to see where we're at.

Text / Audio Triggers - Mandatory

[/size]

Stage 2 - Visages

We must sync up with the blur during this stage.  Otherwise, we'll lose our Tanks on each blur along with others.

So, the concept here is, just before the blur, we need everyone to BACK OFF / STOP CASTING SPELLS.  This way, the MAIN TANK will be the only one who gets agro right after the blur, and MA will call you back in (10 seconds or so after).

GTT is a 60 second countdown timer, with text action at completion.  It'll fire, and reset when Brell emotes: Time to mix things up

Note: Yes I know the interval is 65 seconds..  We want people off before the blur happens, and we're giving you 5 seconds to do this.  Don't be the clown not paying attention please.

Visages Memblur Timer: bt-brell-visages-memblur.gtt

Audio File: backoff-stop-casts.wav


Stage 3 - Brell Serilis

Random players emoted and targeted with an AE.  AE affects anyone nearby also.

When you're emoted, you have 16 seconds to GET AWAY / RUN AWAY.  We'll setup a designated room to run to (more on this when we get there).

Return to the raid after 20 seconds approximately.

My GTT trigger didn't fire when Morthira cast Seething Corruption on me.  I checked my log, and found that the text is "Your soul is corrupted.", not "Seething Corruption on YOU".

Whoever gets emoted must get over 25' range from anyone who is being hit by Seething Fury (20k DD), AND over 200 range if the person emoted wants to SURVIVE also (12 seconds to move away).

Your soul is corrupted = Seething Fury - 20k DD


Morthira targeting ME:
(private emote)
[Sat Mar 31 00:05:20 2012] Morthira says 'Seething Corruption on YOU!'
[Sat Mar 31 00:05:31 2012] Morthira begins to cast a spell. <Seething Fury>
[Sat Mar 31 00:05:32 2012] Dark energy wracks your body.  You have taken 33020 points of damage.

I didn't move far enough from Morthira.  The DMG is weird because the debuff is RNG chance from 1% to 1000%.


Morthira targeting OTHERS last night:
(public emote)

[Sat Mar 31 00:05:40 2012] Morthira says 'Seething Corruption BURNS within you, Zzhymn!'
[Sat Mar 31 00:06:40 2012] Morthira says 'Seething Corruption BURNS within you, Kotsukai!'

Brief Event Overview and Strat

During this event, we deal with THREE Bellikos sisters (Calyssta, Syrana, and Morthira), and a main boss called the Stone Warden!

The Sisters have AE/Emotes we must deal with:

Calyssta = React when emoted; get corruption cured.

Syrana = Viral AE: When targeted, run away from others to prevent spreading.

Morthira = 1000% spell debuff, targeted.  Follows with 20k AE.  Which means if you have debuff, it'll hit you for 200k.  You need to out range it.  Get far away from Morthira when trigger fires.

The Stone Warden inherits the AE of each slain sister; as well as hits harder and has a bit more HP.

Death penalty during Stone Warden: Each time a player dies, there's a chance either: A lost soul add spawns, or the Stone Warden heals.

We'll KILL each Sister, and THEN engage and burn the Stone Warden.  Please assist MA calls only.  Thanks.
