Brief Event Overview and Strat

Assist MA as we pull and kill each miniboss and various adds. 

Once the 5th miniboss is dead, The Deepsea Leviathan spawns.  Assist MA as we burn it down.

Straight forward event, with a couple AEs from Leviathan.

Once The Deepsea Leviathan dies; run up to Mersela and say "Leave", to be ported OUT of the instance in order to remove the Drown effect.  Then run back to base camp in the water again, or advance to the next event area if you're not opting in on loot.

For loot, we'll do out of range of Sharks.  When done, we'll kite sharks briefly to allow winners to loot their items.

Any questions, please ask in the FLRaids:raids channel.  Thanks.



Sharks, Bait and Hand-ins

We collect bait from boxes around the event area.  Each bait hand-in activates the related mermaid miniboss.


 

Hand-in to Shark Name:
GTT - Mob /con to related bait item: hot_ss3.gtt (http://www.eqfreelance.net/audio/hot_ss3.gtt)

Note: The triggers I made above are merely to aid whoever we task with bait hand-in duty.



The Deepsea Leviathan

When all five mermaids are dead, Leviathan spawns.

Defeated Saturday, August 11, 2012.

Everyone enjoyed fighting in the water was the feeling I got!  /em runs.

Overall, we'll do the final part different: Once the Deepsea Leviathan dies, run up to Mersela above and say "Leave", to be ported out of the instance to remove the effect and avoid drowning.  Then run back to base camp in water again, or advance to next event area if you're not interested in loot.

What wasted our time was the TL to bind someone did by mistake and lots of people took it unknowingly and had to run back.  Learning experience all, and no ones fault.  We'll make the necessary adjusts and improve our time on this event.

Loot worked fine with Shark kiting briefly as winners looted their items.  We only tested killing them tonight to see how many HP they had and their actual repop time as we waited on people to run back.  It appears to be 2 minutes for future reference.
