Brief Event Overview & Strategy

* Mandatory Audio/Text GTT Trigger information is available in the GTT section further down in this post.

For this event, we take Danela Icewind down to set HP locked intervals.  During this process and while Danela is in Coldain form; geonid and spider adds spawn at timed intervals.  Spiders are mezzable.  Geonids are not.  Assist MA please.

Danela changes to Tentical Terror form at 90%, 60%, and 30% HP locks.  To unlock HP, we must position Danela so that a boulder above drops on her head.  It takes several boulders to unlock completely and advance.

The boulders shake visibly and emote when they are about to fall.  They can also be dislodged by other means (nukes and dynamite).  A team will be designated for this area.  Please do not do anything to boulders unless asked to do so by Ssark.

For each successful Boulder that hits Danela, we lower its HP by 5% and an FD hits us.  For any that MISS Danela, we suffer a big AE DD + FD.

Throughout the event, Danela randomly targets players with a BLIND + DOT.  Moving 40 feet in any direction will cure the blind.  Keep your MAP OPEN, zoomed in to the event area so that you can move while blind in a clear direction.

In addition, Orc Miners spawn in areas above us and throw bomb AEs at us!  Orcs do not attack back.  Know your group number please, as select casters will be delegated to keep these orcs in check.

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

Anyone read the post on eqplayers forums about the blind bugg and how its change was not intended and will be fixed soon?

We knew about the bugged state on Saturday, but went ahead with the attempts anyway.  The main goal was to size up the event and see how manageable it would be regardless of the bug.

I did inquire earlier today about the status of the raid and asked Ellyra (dev), for an update:

Can we get an update in this thread (http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/index.php?threads/danelas-stand-blind-changed.3158/page-2#post-42181) whether this bugged raid will be hotfixed or part of the February patch?

As you probably know, some teams are still actively progressing, and others wish to farm the event. We are of the former, and just took a shot at it in its current bugged state. Learning the event is exceptionally difficult when the AE is broken.

Any updates greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time,

Replied, though I know it's likely not the ideal answer!

It's been fixed and peer tested on our end, so it will definitely be fixed on Live before the next patch. I'll look into whether or not this can be hotfixed.

Looks like the fix is in process.  We'll see how it plays out before our next attempt.

GTT updated, same link as above.  NO triggers were added, so delete the old ones and download the file again and import the 3 triggers.

Changes:

• You are blinded by fear. - Left this in, even though raid is bugged atm with this effect.
• A boulder  on the ceiling starts to shake - found that there are TWO spaces between "boulder" and "on".    Also changed result to be a 24-second timer urging MA/MT to position Danela under the boulder.  When two or more are falling, there may be overlap, and this may be confusing, we'll see.
• throws a barrel of dynamite at YOURNAME - Changed result to a 4-second timer, which seems to be the time between the throw and the explosion.  I am not 100% certain if it follows you if you move, but if it does not, if you move quick enough from the spot in 4-seconds you should be safe.  If it does follow you, we might want the raider to move away to a location from others since it is a small AE around him or her

I did not add a "fallen to the ground" trigger as of yet.  It is unclear when the boulder strikes and misses Danela if this trigger will be useful or not at present.

Triggers updated mid-raid, then again this morning.  Changes:

MID-RAID last night:

1) Added trigger for "fallen to the ground."
2) Changed trigger for boulders falling to include correct verb (begins instead of starts)

THIS MORNING:

1) Changed trigger for boulders again to remove double-space (this must have been stealth hot fixed!)

Triggers updated above.

Danela's Stand (Raid) - The spell Instilled Fear now works as originally intended.

Everyone please note the fix to this effect.  It's related to the following mechanic:

Quote

Throughout the event, Danela randomly targets players with a BLIND + DOT.  Moving 40 feet in any direction will cure the blind.  Keep your MAP OPEN, zoomed in to the event area so that you can move while blind in a clear direction.

[33222] Instilled Fear
Target: Single
Range: 1000
Resist: Magic -950
Casting: 0s
Dispellable: No
1: Decrease Current HP by 45000
2: Decrease Current HP by 30000 per tick
3: Blind
4: Cancel if Moved 40
Text: You are blinded by fear.

---

This DoT will kill you if you do not move to remove it.  Do not be the person wasting your healers mana by standing around like a clown please.  Thank you.

Healer Note: The method I use for the above is to face a direction where I know I can run straight 40 feet without running into a wall.  This saves me having to navigate with the map.

We've been farming this event for a while now.  Of late, there's been a couple rough runs at it.  Just to reiterate, even as a farm event, we cannot let our guard down and slack in one or more areas.  Keep focused please.

Everyone:

• Rangers, Paladins, Beastlords, add the MTO to your ETW and patch heal MT during both Tentical Terror form and normal dwarf Danela.  Patch the MT hard especially during TT form (hits harder).
• During Tentical Terror form, everyone out of the event area, except for select MTs assigned to Danela.
• During Tentical Terror form, back your pets OFF and place on HOLD.
• During Tentical Terror form, LOOK FOR BOMBS NEAR YOU.  MOVE AWAY FROM THEM to avoid the DD Damage (overhead/3rd person view helps alot for seeing them on you or nearby.
• During normal Danela (Dwarf form), when adds spawn, get your pets off Danela and ASSIST MA TO KILL ADDS

Orc Team Reminders:

Assigned players to this area (Groups 8 and 9 always), are to make sure they promptly join the FLOrcs:orcs channel for instruction and adjustments if any.

By joining the channel, it lets the Lead in that area (Dimbly) know you're aware of your assignment and in the loop for instructions/adjustments pertaining to the area.
