Brief Event OverviewEvent is triggered by Dark Elf sacrifice.
There are four Crusader dragons located in different locations throughout the event area. The dragons are protecting Yelinak.
Yelinak is in the middle chamber area behind a locked door.
Each Crusader has a Frontal AE. When a dragon dies, the next dragon inherits a Caster PBAE version of one of the previously killed dragons:
As the first crusader falls, a portion of its strength is given to the others.When a dragon dies the next active dragon emotes, i.e.,
Grendish the Crusader shouts, 'No! Come face me! I will not allow you to defeat the Crusaders!'Failure to engage the next Crusader quickly enough causes the event to reset.
Various adds spawn at timed intervals. Each add has a unique mechanic or ability.
Cleaning Cube:
Several large purple gelatinous cleaning cube path throughout the event area in a clockwise direction.
Any player that comes in contact with the cube will be banished to another area.
The cleaning cube is indifferent and cannot be damaged or cast on.
Statues - Colored Rings - Breath of Stones:
A pair of statues are positioned halfway from each corner location. Between the statues colored rings appear and disappear periodically.
When a ring appears the statues on each side cast a directional cone AE
Breath of Stones - 353k DoT Frontal AE.
Any player that happens to be in the affected area will be hit by Breath of Stones and take DoT damage.
Yelinak's Dragon Lord's Potency:
Beginning when the 3rd Crusader is active, every 2 minutes 20 seconds a warning emote indicates for players to spread out to different areas (
Power begins to gather ...).
Players have about 40 seconds after initial warning to strategically spread out to other areas.
Failure of players to properly spread out results in Yelinak's
Dragon Lord's Potency - 275k Caster PBAE + Mana Drain (475' range).
Subsequent emotes indicate overall failure or success by area.
StrategyPrep: Trash clear the banish areas.
Starting with one of the Crusaders. From there we go to the next dragon that emotes when active.
Avoid cleaning cubes. Cubes increase in numbers as event goes on.
When moving to areas and passing between the statues, hug the statue walls to avoid being hit by massive DoT.
1st Crusader straight forward kill.
2nd Crusader:
