Please do not update this.  Leave this for the progression servers for TBM.  If people want to have an update for another expansion, just make a fresh post

All previous posts are kept.  An update would be in either a new post or reply post.  Furro doesn't delete anything that would be useful to players at any given stage in progression.

Kill gilded guardians starting at 90 percent boss health.

Players emoted by gilded guardians, move to guardian.  Use levitate to reduce knockback.

Darta Krotek - Dragon Assistance

Darta Krotek says, 'She sent you in here too, huh? I can help you [leave] if you wish. Please know that the great dragons of Norrath are waiting to assist you should you need them. [Keikolin] the Enlightened, [Venesh] the Greenblood, [Harla Dar], and [Silverwing] brave the enemy fire and remain in the air nearby. I am told there is a barrier that they cannot breach at the moment. And, sadly, you should keep in mind that these massive dragons seem to mostly be immune to the power of our draconic allies. You will need to find ways that they can be helpful.'


Keikolin the Enlightened

Success Emote: Keikolin the Enlightened roars and expends most of her magical power to break the general's defenses. The effort drains her and she is forced to flee the battle for now.

Success Emote: Venesh fills the room with gaseous breath. This seems to interfere with the ability to cast spells by some of the lesser scalewrought.
Benefit: Silences the grand manipulator

Harla Dar 

Warning Emote: The general summons a horde of venomous beasts.
Success Emote: Harla Dar breathes, expending all of her magical power to terrify the lesser scalewrought. Afterwards the great black dragon retreats.
Benefit: Despawns Venomous Thralls

Silverwing 

Warning Emote: The general activates one of the secondary control crystals, bringing the leviathan's magic and pain to bear on his enemies.
Success Emote: Silverwing breathes magic and power at a crystal, turning its energy upon itself and shattering it. The backlash drives him from the room seeking healing and a bit of rest.
Benefit: Counters - Suffering of the Leviathan

Tanks:
- Face boss and gilded guardians away from raid


Healers:
- Continuous splashing throughout event


MA Kill Order: adds, boss
