Stage 1 - Adds
Once the event begins, adds spawn two at a time. Killing them spawns the next set of adds.
Adds hit for 13000, and consist of random names and have various AEs.
ITEM DROPS
Each add drops TWO items:
Lens of Ire (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52143) - Aggro Click (assigned pure casters only loot these)
Phylactery of Dreams (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52095) - Charm click (melee dps / tanks loot these).
Stage 2 - Calibo, the Underlord of Dreams
When the adds are dead or our timer elapses, which ever comes first; Calibo a large puppet boss spawns.
Hits for 23000.
DT EMOTES - Included in related trigger section further down in the post.
Stage 3 - Fabracata, Lord of Unreality
This is the final event boss.
* Special trait: Hits pure caster classes only for 10000. But hits everyone else 24000. Powers up over time.
Assigned pure casters who looted a Lens of Ire (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52143) earlier will be in an Main Tank order against Fabracata. Use the clicky to help hold agro.
ADDS

| | | |
| a charming apparition | | CHARM Clicky, or CHARM SPELLS |
| a fearsome apparition | | FEAR Spells |
| a stunning apparition | | STUN Spells |

| | | |
JAIL PORTING
Randomly 6-7 players are targeted and sent to surrounding cages. They have to KILL a visage of themselves in order to be ported back out.
LORD DOUG
Adds by this name spawn randomly, hit for 16000. Assist MA and kill when they spawn.
They are Rootable/snarable (but not mezzable/stunnable).
THE BARRIER
At some random point, Fabracata gives a warning emote followed shortly after by: Barrior of Insanity PBAE 100000 (25 range).
Avoidable at max melee range, and/or beyond 25' range.
Emote Pattern: The air crackles as Fabracata begins to cast Barrier of Insanity. You should run away!
Note: Main Tank (caster), summon tank during this stage to increase odds of avoiding it.
LIVING INSANITY & AGELESS HORROR ADDS
These spawn each time the barrier happens.
Living Insanities - Assist MA and kill (they hit for 18000, immune to all forms of cc).
Ageless Horrors - Use Phylactery of Dreams (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52095) to CHARM them permanently (they will then hit for 60000).
