Brief Event Overview & Strategy

This event involves Glimpse, the Unseen that splits at different stages includes a DT and Ooze mechanic along with percent based adds.

Fragment of shadow adds spawn every 1-4% approximately.

Throughout the event, random players are DT emoted.  When emoted you must GET NEAR OTHER PLAYERS which causes you to take AE Damage instead of being Death-touched.

When Glimpse reaches 70%, it splits into THREE which must be BALANCED or we suffer a massive AE damage.

Once the splits are dead, Glimpse respawns.  Every 30 seconds an OOZE spawns on the MT.  The MT must MOVE IMMEDIATELY to avoid being killed (walk backwards a few steps).

At 30% of Glimpse HP; oozes stop and it splits into SIX fragments.  We must kill each from the TALLEST down.  Wait for assist please.  If we kill the wrong one, it'll respawn.

Please watch for your assignments during prep and MA calls.  Groups are split up for the balance stage.

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

On the first part, I noticed something about the adds.  It seems to me that we can get Glimpse down to 95% health no sweat, but after that there is a chance for an add each percentage point.  First attempt we got Glimpse down to 92% health but then had 1 add each health % we took him down for about 4 - 5 adds.  Second attempt the adds started at 94%.  And there is no set periodicity to them, sometimes the adds spawned during odd healths, sometimes even.  I think it is entirely random, but never more than 1 add per % of health.

I am a little confused about the DT part, so looking for some clarification.  During last nights attempt, I got the DT trigger 3 times during the 2nd attempt.  The 3rd time was during the blobs part and raid was spread out, so I will leave that one out for now.  The first two times, I was in the middle of the entire raid, surrounded by everyone, when an add was up.  Both times I still got DT'd.  So i want to see what I may have been doing wrong.  I was right next to probably 30 toons.  Maybe can't be moving at all? I may have possibly been moving to try and "get closer", so maybe you have to be absolutely still?  Just looking for clarification.

We took our first peak at this encounter last night with encouraging results.

* Updated the "Brief Event Overview & Strategy" portion of the strategy post.


Event Adjusts

MAIN TANKS:

During the OOZE pop stage (70% to 30%).  Try and stick to a straight line as you take a step back out of the ooze each time.  It's a big event area.  We'd like to keep the raid centralized.  If you stick to a line, we can do something like this:

o = ooze
- = path

            Glimpse repop middle G----o----o----o----o----o----o----o [event area ends] turn, shift other way

----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o and come back parallel.

----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

                           [ RAID POSITIONED HERE ]


Will work out the cardinals once inside.  But basically what I'm trying to describe above is going from long-to-long of the event area and then shift and repeat the parallel.  This way we can position the raid in one location and be together allowing us to survive the DT mechanic that's still in effect.  Avoid spreading out.

On the first part, I noticed something about the adds.  It seems to me that we can get Glimpse down to 95% health no sweat, but after that there is a chance for an add each percentage point.  First attempt we got Glimpse down to 92% health but then had 1 add each health % we took him down for about 4 - 5 adds.  Second attempt the adds started at 94%.  And there is no set periodicity to them, sometimes the adds spawned during odd healths, sometimes even.  I think it is entirely random, but never more than 1 add per % of health.

I went with 1-4% in the strategy post for now.  May not be random, but instead timed.  Either way, we'll see how it plays out.

I am a little confused about the DT part, so looking for some clarification.  During last nights attempt, I got the DT trigger 3 times during the 2nd attempt.  The 3rd time was during the blobs part and raid was spread out, so I will leave that one out for now.  The first two times, I was in the middle of the entire raid, surrounded by everyone, when an add was up.  Both times I still got DT'd.  So i want to see what I may have been doing wrong.  I was right next to probably 30 toons.  Maybe can't be moving at all?

Did you parse your log to see what actually killed you?  I ask because it could be something like you were unbuffed from a previous death, hit by the DD and then got low HP aggro on the add kinda fluke.  Not doubting you died to DT btw, just saying.

I had no issues moving to the crowd and getting DD'd only.  Maybe others have experienced what you're describing above though.

Unfortunately, I can't provide more clarification other than get near the crowd of players Pad, sorry.
