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.

* Stage 2 - Adjusts for add handling:

• CC: Enchanters STUN WEB and Lock them down
• Assigned tanks to agro adds to help prevent ENC deaths

Enchanters, you reported 'unstable fragment' adds as non-mezzable?

[Furro]

 
Adjusting this further, with some reversion:
 
Stage 1:

• Dwarves do not despawn automatically when Stage 2 begins.
• Ranger Snare/Rooters assigned to hallways headshot your dwarves as you keep pace rooting to thin them out.
• Dwarves stop spawning 1 minute before Stage 2 activates.  This is your window to finish them off and kill the remainders
• Once dwarves are dead, contribute your DPS to Unstable Creation (unless otherwise assigned)

Stage 2:

• Enchanters, PBAE MEZ the 'unstable fragment' adds.
• Back to our two group strategy via MA2 to keep pace killing these fragments so they do not overwhelm us.
• Rangers reporting Bow damage was not working on unstable fragments.

Although we got jammed up on this event last night, it was a learning experience.  With the above adjustments, we'll get it down smoother!

Thanks again everyone for their input/comments!

Tweaks to strat for this event played out well.  Solid win on this event last night.   We'll keep this strat going forward.

Nice work everyone.
