Sunday, June 6, 2021 - Update

Strategy post has been updated with a little tweak to handling of 2nd Crusader when adds spawn just as Crusader is killed.

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
       

See everyone in-game! :)

Sunday, June 6, 2021 - Trigger Update

Tantor doesn't immediately give chase when the emote indicates: Tantor roars, pointing its trunk at Soandso.

Due to the delay in giving chase, some players seem to be returning early and failing the emote.


Trigger Update:
  • Increased timer for: Tantor - Pointing its trunk - Run away (1st Person)

OKAY TO MERGE WITH EXISTING TRIGGER PACKAGE "The Western Wastes - Tantor"


See everyone in-game! :)

Brief Event Overview

Three dragons defend the tomb to Vulek'Aerr: Quoza, Uiliak and Nintal

Each dragon activates when a number of their kin; drake adds are killed.

When a dragon is idle (inactive), a chant AE DoT occurs with an emote: The idle dragons begin to chant.

When a dragon is active, a special ability for the particular dragon occurs with emotes.  The abilities are interrelated between dragons; whereby a player with a DoT effect from one will also take increased AE damage from certain other dragon AEs.

All three dragons have a Frontal AE; with warning emotes, that happens only when the particular dragon is active.

During the event drake adds related to each dragon fly down from the sky.



Strategy

Raid positioned SW.  Tight formation.

Pull and kill ALL adds.

AE Damage is allowed.

Mages & Necros - Sustained DPS on first active dragon.

Everyone else ASSIST MA to keep adds down to avoid being overwhelmed.

Necros primarily focus on active dragon, secondary DoTs on adds to optimize.

CC - Avoid charming protectors for the first 1-3 waves of adds.  Use charmed pets against other adds at main raid.


Tanks:

- Position each dragon at designed spot near main raid with dragon facing away from main raid due to Frontal AE


Healers: Splash, splash, splash!


MA Kill Order: Adds, active dragon



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.

The Sleepers Tomb - T3 - Amalgum Arbiter


Zone & Instance Info

Gather Zone: The Eastern Wastes
NPC Name: Essedera
NPC Location: Find path (CTRL-F)

Keyword to Enter:ready


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

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.

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


OKAY TO MERGE WITH EXISTING TRIGGER PACKAGE "The Temple of Veeshan - Aaryonar"


See everyone in-game! :)

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
      • - ...
      • -- ...
      • ...


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)
