Text / Audio Triggers - Mandatory

Mandatory Setup


Paladins, Clerics, Druids, Shaman

DoT notifications.  These DoTs have a massive impact on our DPS and casting effectiveness.  Fortunately they are low disease counters (30).  Use the appropriate tools available to you to cure the DoT each time the trigger fires.

DoT Trigger: grelleth-add-dots.gtt (http://www.eqfreelance.net/audio/grelleth-add-dots.gtt)


Paladin - Splash Trig to cure DoT

TURO casts a detrimental DoT called Smogscreen.  It's a damage DoT and reduces melee accuracy by 75% (dps loss).  Paladins use splash for chance to remove it please and help offset the raid overall damage and prevent DPS loss.

DoT Trigger: grelleth-paladin-supplemental-dot.gtt (http://www.eqfreelance.net/audio/grelleth-paladin-supplemental-dot.gtt)


Main Tank - Deathtouch Trigger

Grelleth 52% HP and onward, the MAIN TANK is targeted with a DT warning emote.  To avoid DT, the MT must TANK SWAP.

* Replace YOURNAME with your character name in the emotes (2 substitutes).

DT Trigger: grelleth-main-tank.gtt (http://www.eqfreelance.net/audio/grelleth-main-tank.gtt)

Audio Files: None, text to speech GTT feature used instead.

A few points.  Lelro and Lelri swing wildly if they are too far apart.  They need to be kept only so far apart, like in the Brell Serilis raid.  And when Zurel is up, the 4 elite soldiers do absolutely NO melee damage.  It is all non-melee, each hit for over 20K damage.

I was aware of the positioning and penalty AE rampage, which is why initially the tactic was to corner them and range balance to avoid the rampage.  But on the fly, the MT's were able to position them properly, so it worked out.  We'll distance properly going forward for sure.

Interesting observation on the 20k non-melee hits for elites.   We can use this to our advantage depending on our setup. 

Thanks for posting as always.

Event Adjusts

• Turo - Added Paladin Splash trigger to remove Smogscreen DoT (DMG + DPS Reduction)
• Lelri and Lelro (balance) - Position on either side of Fountain (tanks, work out which side for each)
• Wuran (priest adds) - Added cure trigger for Stench of Decay DoT (DMG + DPS reduction)
• Zurel - Burn elite soldier adds (they hit hard).
• Grelleth - Added trigger for DT mechanic, which requires the MT to TANK SWAP to avoid DT

Thanks Gigtuoka for posting the DT Mechanic emote pattern.

Hate to say this, but Splash shows no evidence of working on Turo's Smogscreen.  Just have to heal through it and endure.
