Flag & Key Requirements

Zone Flag: None
Event Key: None
Group Mission: None
Event Flags: None
 
* Minimum to be Piggy/85'/pushed into raid: No requirement


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.

Thursday, April 8, 2021 - Strategy Post & Trigger Packages Added

Good first look at this event last Saturday.  Our deaths were glorious and purposeful!  The attempts yielded helpful log data which we used to deconstruct various raid elements, including the Echo Auras mechanic. 

In addition, during the week, we ventured into the Group Mission version for theory and trigger tests.  I'd highly recommend anyone who wishes to understand or familiarize themselves with the Echo Auras mechanic to do the Group Mission achievement: Maximum Echo.

The strategy post contains a complete workup of our Strategy.

Be sure to read the Brief Event Overview and Strategy section of the post before attending the raid.

Download and import the Trigger packages accordingly.

DELETE OLD TRIGGER PACKAGE "The Temple of Veeshan - Aaryonar", BEFORE IMPORTING NEW!


See everyone in-game! :)

Wednesday, April 21, 2021 - Strategy, Diagrams and Trigger Package Updates

Strategy adjusted to reflect Saturday's attempts.  Please review the "Strategy" area of the post for details.

Event diagram updated indicating raid positions during Aaryonar and Grolik, as well as other markings.

Zone navigation diagram updated.


Important Reminders:

DO NOT STAY IN AURA.  You only need to touch the aura when trigger fires in order to get Echo buff and then immediately return to raid.

Staying together as a raid allows for Splash/Rain/Group heals to land.


Trigger Changes: Everyone

- Changed Text/Voice for all of the Roar of X triggers from MOVE to TOUCH.  Move implies "go and stay", whereas we need people to "go touch and return".

Examples:

TOUCH BROWN AURA - Return to Raid
TOUCH PURPLE AURA - Return to Raid
TOUCH BLUE AURA - Return to Raid
TOUCH RED AURA - Return to Raid

- Removed: Heart of the Temple AE - Blocked DoT - Roar of X - ALL - Success


DELETE OLD TRIGGER PACKAGE "The Temple of Veeshan - Aaryonar", BEFORE IMPORTING NEW!


See everyone in-game! :)

Friday, May 7, 2021 - Trigger Addition

Added a trigger indicating when Expenditure of Fire damage proc has fired.

EDIT: Fixing this trigger to use Centare's.  Turns out the emote version I made didn't work, wasn't sure it would.

Note:

This trigger addition is not based on the same pattern as Centare's trigger he shared in-game last night.  His is based on the actual damage being done; the hit message, whereas the trigger I added uses the emote: The power of flame stored in you by the echo explodes.

Therefore, if you have Centare's trigger and you import the updated "Everyone" package, you will have two triggers firing for the same Expenditure of Fire occurrence.  To resolve, delete one of the triggers accordingly.

I created this new trigger using the emote pattern due to less steps to match against.  The performance gain will not be noticeable though.  The confusion of two triggers firing for the same thing will be noticeable, however.

Centare's trigger was named: Expediture of fire triggered



Trigger Update:
  • Added: Expenditure of Fire - Damage Proc (1st Person)

Wednesday, May 19, 2021 - Updates

Good run last week.  Our best attempt was tail end of the night on Saturday.  We're getting there! :)

Trigger updates below. 

Reminder, ONLY import the "Everyone" package, unless you need other packages due to your class or assignment.


Trigger Updates:

Centare and Leeyo recommended/created a Grolik Proc Rotation package.  They felt having a rotation was helpful.
  • Added: Aaryonar - Grolik Proc Rotation
    • - Expenditure of Fire - Grolik Damage Proc Emote (1st Person)
    • - Expenditure of Fire - Grolik Damage Proc Emote (3rd Person)


Trigger Packages Reorganization:

Changes suggested by Raiena to reorganize the trigger packages to allow for easier sharing and maintenance.

Triggers placed in an additional Top Level Group to the corresponding raid event as it relates to an overall category (Everyone, Main Tanks, etc.,).

This is especially useful when we do trigger updates or additions and require players to delete old before importing new packages.  In a situation of deleting old, now you'll only have to delete the corresponding Top Level Group of the new package you're importing.

Fine grain control to toggle on/off each trigger remains unchanged, as they still belong to an innermost group as normal.

Example below for Aaryonar event, the packages have been organized as follows:

  • The Temple of Veeshan - Aaryonar
    • Aaryonar - Everyone
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...
    • Aaryonar - Auras Team
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...
    • Aaryonar - Main Tanks
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...
    • Aaryonar - Raid Aura Coordinator
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...
    • Aaryonar - Grolik Proc Rotation
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...

Saturday, May 22, 2021 - Updates

Grolik Proc Rotation instruction added to Strategy post.  Players are assigned to this role and called upon by name to use their bane damage proc on Grolik.

Trigger update for "Everyone" package only. 


Trigger Update:

Original trigger for when Grolik "flows up" from ground was based on Group mission pattern, which turns out has a typo (extra 'r') in the word errupts.  The raid version does not contain the typo.  Trigger has been corrected to reflect raid version.
  • Corrected: Aaryonar - Everyone
    • - Grolik - Spawn
