Brief Event OverviewEvent is triggered. No trash to clear.
Event area is limited to tiled floor section. Any player that goes out of bounds during event is automatically zoned out to The Western Wastes.
Sontalak has directional AEs; front, sides and combinations of left side plus tail and right side plus tail.
Drake adds spawn at 3% HP intervals of Sontalak starting at 85%.
A helper NPC named Beldion Icewind provides protection from Lava Breath cast by Sontalak.
A dragon statue emotes random players. The statue turns towards the player emoted and a green aura appears beneath the players feet. Anyone between the green aura and statue will be hit with narrow beam AE + DoT (
Volcanic Jet - 400k Directional AE + 100k DoT).
Aura of Banishment:
An aura constantly moves around the event area counter-clockwise.
Anyone caught inside aura when it activates is automatically zoned out to The Western Wastes.
An emote warns when aura is about to activate. Additionally, the aura activates
without warning at Sontalak HP~ percentages: 74%, 56%, 28% and 7%~.
StrategyDPS Sontalak until 80%~ and STOP.
From 80% onward ONLY Necros are to DPS Sontalak (additional players may be assigned at the time).
We only want ONE to TWO burning aggressor adds up at any given time. As we are killing one add, the 2nd can be moved into position for DPS to efficiently transition to the next add.
Assist MA to kill each burning aggressor add. Kill burning aggressor adds in outer tiled area.
We are killing ALL adds, including combative types that are mezzable.
Reminders:
Avoid aura! 3rd person view helps. Positioning in Line-of-sight (LoS) of the aura is helpful to keep an eye on it.
Avoid front of Sontalak -- Big dispel and damage. Be mindful MTO cannot always position Sontalak favourably in this regard.
Healers can shift between two spots and effectively avoid the aura. I currently favour West and East, rinse/repeat.
Aura of Banishment Triggers:
Stay out of roaming Aura of Banishment.
Overlay triggers indicate when you are INSIDE or OUTSIDE the aura. Only one trigger will appear at any given time.
When aura
glows emote occurs a trigger will text/voice as: "
Aura Active Soon - Check Overlay". As a player, you look at your overlay and adjust position if needed.
Visual in-game configuration suggestions for easier focus on Aura:
To make it easier to see the Aura of Banishment it is helpful to reduce the visual clutter in-game by adjusting your settings to hide players, names and pets.
In-game Options (ALT-O), General tab
- Hide Players: All
- Hide Pets: All
In-game Options (ALT-O), Display tab
- Uncheck box next to Show PC Names (or use command: /shownames off)
- Uncheck box next to Show Pet Names
Aura settings near the bottom of this strategy post are settings for Particles in Options (ALT-O), Display tab.
Tanks:
- MTO, position Sontalak where it activates, adjust slightly as able to avoid aura and being banished
- MTO, helps if able to adjust Sontalak to prevent Frontal AE from hitting main raid, other AEs if possible (we understand it won't be 100%)
Burning Aggressor Tanks:
Tank burning aggressor adds outer tiled area.
Burning aggressors hit hard. If able, disc and tank a few then call switch for the next tank to step in and disc, rinse/repeat.
Healers:
- Be sure to include each add tank to ETW, not just MTO
MA Kill Order: burning aggressors, combative type adds
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.
