Brief Event Overview and Strat

Thornbustle boss has several AEs, and a HUGE 1200 Damage Shield.  RANGE DPS only when MA calls on you.

During the event, various adds will spawn.  Groups assist your assigned MA please as we MEZ some adds, while killing ONLY Brambly Heaps (non-mezzable).

Several AE's from Trash and Thornbustle have big DD recourse if not cured in time.  Proper curing is important.  If more then 30 player deaths occur, the event resets.

ALL Trigger information is available in the GTT section further down in this post.

Any questions, please ask reply to this thread, and/or ask in the FLRaids:raids channel.  Thanks.

Death Penalty

* Be Aware

After 30 player deaths; at any time in zone, and the event resets.  Pets are excluded. 

Curing DoT/recourses matter in order to keep us from exceeding the threshold and prevent an event reset.

Emote per death:

Ahhh... I have absorbed the soul of a fallen interloper! I shall use its energy to defend this place, for I am Thornbustle, Master of the Garden! All shall quaver in awe as I grow ever stronger, my branches and vines ever more impervious to attack!

Note: After death limit reached, anyone alive is auto-ported to ZL.

You get the rotdog spawning emote by crossing the grass that's east of where you zone in, staying at the porch behind you won't trigger it, and eye of zomm also triggers the rotdog emote if it crosses the grass.

The mulch heaps respawn several minutes after they're killed.
