Tower of Rot - Lord Kyle Bayle


Zone & Instance Info
 
Gather Zone: Tower of Rot

NPC Name: Diedre Harath
NPC Location: Same NPC as mission and tasks inside Tower of Rot, main floor where you zone in from DH and/or WK.

Keyword to Enter: Ready


Attuning to Tower of Rot

In order to use the portal to Tower of Rot located in Ethernere Tainted West Karana, you must first attune yourself to it.

Go to the newly opened area of Dead Hills (located in the southwestern part of the zone), and click on the doorway into the Tower of Rot (it's located up on the scaffolding).  Once inside the Tower of Rot, take the portal to Ethernere and you will get an attune message and end up back in Ethernere.  That's it, you're now attuned to use the portal in Ethernere to reach Tower of Rot!

Brief Event Overview & Strategy

* We are all hit with a ZONEWIDE Debuff: Weight of Rot - Limits effect of CC Spells, Melee slow, Inhibits Mana Cost Focus effects.

This is a multistage event with various adds and emotes.

Lord Kyle Bayle does a claymore emote every 60 seconds.  Failure to move out of melee range of Bayle results in a massive performance debuff.

At set intervals of Kyle Bayle's health, various adds and minibosses come into play.

When Kyle Bayle HP reaches:

90% - FOUR Royal Guard adds spawn.

75% - THREE Mini-bosses spawn (we must balance these).  They also spawn adds at set health percentages.

50% - EIGHT Royal Guard adds spawn.

25% - TWO Fallen Guard adds spawn.

From 25% and onward, every 5% we get an additional TWO Fallen Guard adds and every 75 seconds TWO Fallen Guard Adds.

When Kyle Bayle reaches 5% his HP LOCK and we must dispatch all the adds to unlock.

Our Strategy

We take Bayle to 75% - Minibosses spawn, assist MA's to finish killing Royal guards.  Then assist to balance Minibosses and dispatch adds.

Bayle to 50% and HOLD - 8x Royals spawn.  By assignment, OT royals.

Bayle to 25% and HOLD.  MA1, MA2 and MA3 assist on Fallen Guard killing.

Bayle to 20% and HOLD.  Fallen Guards pop every 5%.  Rinse/repeat.

Bayle to 5% and HOLD.  MA2 kill the rest of the Royal Guards completely (they won't repop now).  MA1 and MA3, continue killing Fallen Guards.

At each hold point, please ensure you are properly assisting your assigned MA, as it does not help to overshoot the %'s and spawn adds before we are ready, or during times when the timed fallen adds are up.


Crowd Control Silence Penalty

Royal Guards and the adds which spawn from mini-bosses are susceptible to some but not all of the following forms of CC: Mez, Charm, Root or Snare.  However, there are penalties for using these CC methods.
  • Any of the above CC methods causes the CASTER to be SILENCED from casting the spell again (Silence of: Mez, Charm, Snare, Root).
  • When an add dies, TWO players silences are removed.
  • CC'ed adds have a 25% chance to dispel themselves (Tower's Aide, cc duration reduction), every tick.


Boss Details - Lord Kyle Bayle
  • Hits for 42000.
  • Begins to Rampage and AE Rampage at 25% health and onward.
  • While mini-bosses are alive casts: Greater Protection of Bayle - Self buff, Absorb SPELL, DoT and MELEE Damage by 90%
  • Claymore Crush emote with massive penalty (refer below).

EMOTES:

Every 60 seconds Bayle emotes: Lord Kyle Bayle raises his ancient claymore high overhead..  A few seconds later he casts Claymore Crush SEVERE Debuff (Melee SLOW, inhibits Crit DMG, and reduces HP Cap). 

When the emote fires MOVE OUT OF BAYLES MELEE RANGE to avoid the debuff.  Return as applicable when the trigger tells you.

Text / Audio Triggers - Mandatory

ALL Mandatory Setup

ALL Players:

GTT File: cotf-tor-lord-kyle-bayle-emote.gtt

Lord Kyle Bayle Claymore Crush Emote:

Every 60 seconds Bayle emotes: Lord Kyle Bayle raises his ancient claymore high overhead..  A few seconds later he casts Claymore Crush SEVERE Debuff (Melee SLOW, inhibits Crit DMG, and reduces HP Cap). 

When the emote fires MOVE OUT OF BAYLES MELEE RANGE to avoid the debuff.

Pattern start: raises his ancient claymore
Pattern finish: swings his ancient claymore
Action: MOVE AWAY FROM BOSS

Notes:
- Everyone on Bayles hatelist is targeted.
- Personal failure emote: You are struck by the legendary blade


MELEE and TANKS: NIFE REVERSE DS - Your melee hits HEAL the mob and DAMAGES YOU.

GTT File: cotf-tor-lord-kyle-bayle-nife-ds.gtt

Patterns:
The mark of Nife flashes before your eyes
The mystic symbol fades.


Viral Trigger Pattern - ALL Mandatory Setup

From fallen advisor adds.  You can be targeted by a VIRAL Mana/Endurance drain which lasts 90s and will drain all your mana/endurance.  You don't want to spread it to others.  When your trigger fires, move to one of the lower level inlets/cubbies which are located on either side of the ramp that connects upper/lower. 

Basically, you don't want to be near others when you have this, which infects them, drains their mana/endurance and renders them useless.

GTT File: cotf-tor-lord-kyle-bayle-advisor-viral.gtt * Added: 07/19/2014

Pattern effect on you: You succumb to viral decay
Action: Move away from other players, or designated spot(s).

I do not lag very badly in this raid. Suggestions on reducing lag in EQ (in general) in this post. Might be useful at least until the event is fixed - and optimizing EQ settings is a good thing to do in general. :)

Ok.  Concerning the addds during the 3 mini-bosses.  Contrary to belief, there is no randomness as to what we will be getting.  The adds are fixed.  For example, when we are dealing with the adds of the High Priest, 1 crusader and 1 champion always spawn, never 2 crusaders or 2 champions.  Also, the adds will spawn when the High Priest reaches the required HP, not an average of the three.

This makes the assignments somewhat easier.  Yes, only 2 tanks can do it, but the tanks can and should be assigned just 1 of each set.  Neither should have to look for both as there are never 2 of each and we can control when they spawn to some degree by controlling the HP of the mini that spawns them.

So, when the High Priest is at 90%, 50% and 5% health, (not the others, only the HP) a crusader and a champion will spawn.  When the Captain is at 75% and 35% a blackguard and a disciple will spawn.  And when the Arch Magus is at 60% and at 20% health a convoker and a beguiler will spawn.  Always one of each.

Absor posted on EQ forum that the group task had an error occurring during event that  checked spawn point that was checking wrong point, hopefully this will also address the issue causing crash in Raid.

Interesting strategy posted on Evilgamer.net regarding way to beat ToR and avoid some of the mana drain issues.  The strategy from there is cut and pasted below.

Ours is as follows.

 Trigger event.
 Beat on boss
 Offtank / mez the 4 blues till 3 the mini named spawn,
 Kill the blues - Kill adds as they spawn
 Beat the 3 mini named to under 5% and then kill 2 of them Leave arch mage up and off tanked while rest of raid meds back to full.
 Kill arch mage and then beat boss down to 28%
 During this phase keep the blues mezed / off tanked but kill the evoker/vicar mobs till you have 8 scout/myrmidon mobs.
 Once he is at 28% ish (not below 26%) then beat all 8 blues to 10% health.

 Now the fun starts.

 Mini burn the Boss to 5% HP lock should be very quick.
 Knights deflection tank the horde of adds.
 Full burn on the Reds defiler and advisors first.
 AoE from Zerkers and Rogues to kill blues
 All adds down then finish the boss when his HP unlock.

Funny thing is, there's nothing wrong with our strategy.  It's the fact that the instance keeps crashing at various stages.

Rot crashes follow-up for everyone.  On Saturday I posted in the related bug thread concerning our crashes and sent JChan a PM copy.

Quote from: Furro, post: Update Bugs 06-18-2014, member: 28
Crash bug: Tower of Rot Raid Instance
Cazic Thule server

Thursday, 26, 2014, at 22:52:40 EDT
Script was at the stage with: Arch Mage Harron, High Priest Belyea, Captain Whitson. They were all around 70% health approximately.

Friday, 27, 2014, at 21:12:20 EDT
Script was at the stage of Lord Kyle Bayle 25% health and two fallen advisors.

These were unrecoverable crashes. Everyone had to kill EQ and reload/relog in.

Bug reported in game.

With no reply this Wednesday, I replied to the related bug thread and PM to JChan, in addition to sending PM's to other developers: Absor, Dzarn, Elidroth, Aristo, crieger, Elegist, KevinMcP and Community Relations Roshen.

JChan replied in to the bug thread earlier today:

Quote from: JChan, post: 3101515, member: 116
We have been unable to reproduce this internally. Also, is your client crashing or is it hanging? It's a difference that tells us where we can look for diagnostic information.

Our CS team is trying to gather information about the issue and if you send in the requested information it'll help us reproduce the issue. Quote here: ...

My follow-up to his query was:

Quote from: Furro, post: 3101524, member: 28
It's not a client crash that pops up a dialog box enabling us to send in a report. It feels more like a server side instance crash. Everyone in the raid is hanging; frozen. It's as if EQ had a pause button. You can move around, cannot cast, or chat or do anything else. Spell icons greyed out etc. Only recovery is for players to task out and kill the EQ process, re-login. Once inside, the instance is completely gone, some players have rez effects, others corpses gone completely.

In addition, we're not doing anything special during the event itself. We're not kiting any adds or bosses, we're not leashing any adds causing them to reset either.

There's a reference to pet's and familiars being killed by the hidden exclamation (!) entity, which may be causing the instance to crash. It was reported in another related Tower of Rot crash thread here. The info could be a red herring, but may be helpful or relevant. Details posted below:

Thanks for your time,
Furro
Leader of Freelance - Open Raid Team - CT Server

JChan reply shortly later:

Quote from: JChan, post: 3101528, member: 116
Ah ok, that's a different matter as well. I see that the raid is stuck in an infinite loop. Thanks for the info.

Elegist replied to my PM on this issue, which is later in the day from JChans reply to the public bug thread.  Based on Elegist PM, it doesn't appear they have figured out the issue yet:

Quote from: Elegist, convMessage: 21379, member: 177
We've been looking into the crash and trying to figure out what might be causing it. Hopefully we'll have a fix soon!

On a related note, current Hotfix Notes: July 2, 2014 do include other changes to Tower of Rot raid:

when it hits you:
The mark of Nife flashes before your eyes.

upon fading:
The mystic symbol fades.

This is really slowing us down on the minibosses and other areas.  Every melee hit = 2000 HP healed to their target, and it damages the player.

Tanks, when hit with NIFE, stop meleeing and hold aggro with spells/abilities only until you're cured.
Melee DPS, when hit with NIFE, STOP MELEEING and get cured or cure yourself (50 curse counters).  In the meantime, you can back off a little and range DPS still.

Added Nife DS/Heal Trigger - For Melee and Tanks

 During this phase keep the blues mezed / off tanked but kill the evoker/vicar mobs till you have 8 scout/myrmidon mobs.
 Once he is at 28% ish (not below 26%) then beat all 8 blues to 10% health.

 Now the fun starts.

 Mini burn the Boss to 5% HP lock should be very quick.
 Knights deflection tank the horde of adds.
 Full burn on the Reds defiler and advisors first.
 AoE from Zerkers and Rogues to kill blues
 All adds down then finish the boss when his HP unlock.

The issue I have with this, is that the Red Con adds, like the Advisor are just melee for 30 seconds.  After they've been alive for 30 sec, then they cast the viral HP/Mana drain, and it's a brutal drain - I don't think we can survive getting more than once or twice (incurable, lasts for 1 minute (10 ticks) and drains 10k hp/m/e a tick). 

If we can split the dps (this is a BIG if, when you look at Oruatyrim's parse of DHs 2, none of the casters except me and Bdaillya were on the DPS list for the adds - am sure they are killing Bayle, which is OK, but if they disregard targets in Tower, we're never gonna win) accurately, and power Kyle Bayle down 5% in the time it takes to kill the 2 red con adds, we can do this very easy.  The trick is staying alive and in good condition mana-wise to this level, so that you can do normal burns when we need too - I know, easier said than done, but it should be our goal.

90% adds are at the chairs, 50% adds are at the arches on first wave, chairs on second wave.

Was thinking about the 5% mark, specifically with the blue scout adds.  I would think that if the groups that are assigned to the scout adds actually began killing them just prior to 5% (within the 30s spawn timer), we could get a few dead and free up some tanks/healing for the red con adds that will spawn.  Not sure if they die before the 5% if they would still respawn if hit 5% before the 30s respawn timer.   Was just a thought.  Either way, seems like last night we were slow to get on the scout adds.

We made some good ground on this event last week.  Got Bayle to 4%, but just lost it on the adds, combined with perhaps some player excitement attempting to plow Bayle.  Remember, Bayle is HP locked when adds are up.

Amended prep post to include our working strategy to date:

Our Strategy:

We take Bayle to 75% - Minibosses spawn, assist MA's to finish killing Royal guards.  Then assist to balance Minibosses and dispatch adds.

Bayle to 50% and HOLD - 8x Royals spawn.  Assigned group(s) assigned MA2, to repeatedly dispatch one royal guard to remove charmers handicap.

Bayle to 25% and HOLD.  MA1 and MA3 assist on Fallen Guard killing.

Bayle to 20% and HOLD.  Fallen Guards pop every 5%.  Rinse/repeat.

Bayle to 5% and HOLD.  MA2 kill the rest of the Royal Guards completely (they won't repop now).  MA1 and MA3, continue killing Fallen Guards.

At each hold point, please ensure you are properly assisting your assigned MA, as it does not help to overshoot the %'s and spawn adds before we are ready, or during times when the timed fallen adds are up.



In case any of the add tanks need it as a reminder on their map for the 90% and 50% adds. here are some locs of spawns for after the table is ash:

P 109.8350, -22.3672, 811.1189,  0, 0, 0,  3,  NW_chair_spawn
P 107.7255, 18.5197, 811.1389,  0, 0, 0,  3,  SW_chair_spawn
P 108.6382, 49.4357, 811.1255,  0, 0, 0,  3,  SW_arch_spawn
P 132.3836, 48.5330, 811.1138,  0, 0, 0,  3,  SE_arch_spawn
P 132.6986, 19.0670, 811.1432,  0, 0, 0,  3,  SE_chair_spawn
P 132.8502, -20.3920, 811.1370,  0, 0, 0,  3,  NE_chair_spawn
P 130.7578, -48.4980, 811.1378,  0, 0, 0,  3,  NE_arch_spawn
P 108.7019, -46.8945, 811.1339,  0, 0, 0,  3,  NW_arch_spawn


90% adds are at the chairs, 50% adds are at the arches on first wave, chairs on second wave.

Added to my powar_1.txt map file.  Tanks, please do the same; as we are doing assignments by pop locations.

Thanks Gimamam.

Post raid last week, we discussed Royal tanks whittling down their add in preparation for killing it at 5% stage.

As for slow getting on scouts, there was an MA miscall at the final 5% stage.
