Brief Event Overview

Locked behind Xanzerok event.

Colossus of Skylance and six workers are visible upon zone in.

Find a way to remove the protective armors from the workers.

Magic Storms come into play during event.

Shadow auras are cast upon the ground to indicate some kind of warning.

Adds spawn throughout the event.


Strategy

Stony and Runic workers activate at start of event, three of each type.  Workers have a protection buff that can be removed by running them through proper storm.

Stony workers have Stony Armor that can be removed by running the worker through the red storm.

Runic workers have Runic Armor that can be removed by running the worker through the blue storm.

Players should avoid standing in storms for extended periods of time, as they both have damaging abilities.

Colossus of Skylance becomes active when all workers are dead.

Colossus casts the same stony and runic armors at 1m 45s intervals, alternating.  Use the same red and blue storms to remove protections, though removal is not instant.

Achievements for allowing boss to keep buffs or preventing boss from having both buffs at same time.

Colossus casts Rumbling Stomp at 1m 30s intervals which has a feign death component.  Feign death can be avoided by moving 80' away from boss.

Additionally, Colossus casts Thunderous Clap, frontal AE.  Triggers warn for both spells.

Colossus will emote a player and a large rainbow aura will appear around them.  Emoted player must run away to avoid hitting raid with AE damage and knockback from Boulder Slam.

At 70 percent health scrykin adds begin spawning and spawn every ~11 percent thereafter.

A bedeviled scrykin casts Reactive Power on player with highest hate and 15s later will attempt to cast Final Combination.  Utilize tank swaps to clear hate and avoid hitting raid with AE damage.

A crazed scrykin casts Sparking Soul, AE damage spell that casts at 25s intervals after initial cast.  Splash heal through damage or move 150' away from raid and range kill.

An absent scrykin is indifferent unless hit by magic, either player or NPC, then it will transform to a beserker.  Kill beserker or transform back to absent scrykin using mez or charm spells.

At 40 percent large purple auras begin to appear on the ground.  Players must move out of aura to avoid being hit by Skyfall.  Achievement for no one getting hit by Skyfall.



Tanks:
- MT face Colossus away from raid to avoid fronal AE
- Bedeviled scrykin tanks utilize tank swap to avoid hitting raid with Final Combination


Healers:
- Splash heal after Sparking Soul is cast by a crazed scrykin


MA Kill Order: a bedeviled scrykin, a crazed scrykin, a beserker, boss


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.
