Brief Event Overview & Strategy

For this event, we have to send Lady Lendiniara back where she came by using relic items to perform a ritual.  However, Ethernere has increased in strength and started sending forces into the Void through the rifts.  We must defeat these forces to shut down the rifts which prevent us from finishing the ritual.

There are four islands, each has a single relic click item and a rift portal at 100%.  Portal health decreases when we kill the mobs on each island.

Relics clickies, when used; cast a debuff and can be used on the related island.  Only ONE relic can be clicked at a time (45 second refresh).

During this, we must deal with Zebuxoruk and eventually Lanys T`Vyl, Deathmaster Sarenth and various adds on the main island.

Rift Portals & Mobs:

Each island contains the following rift, relic and associated mobs or miniboss.

Qeynos Claymore Rift - Grundehl miniboss:

• Mitigates DoTs, Melee, Spells (Outlast, Repel, Withstand).
• AE Rampages
• Qeynos Claymore relic click removes his defensive buffs for 45 seconds.

Selo's Drum Rift - Skirth ripper adds:

• They target a random player with Scent of Blood, which causes the ripper to attack that player.
• Their melee damage is based on the class of the player they are attacking.
• Cast Claw (frontal DD).
• Selo's Drum relic click removes and prevents Scent of Blood from the rippers for  45 seconds.

Scroll of G`han Rift - Borleoth miniboss:

• Borleoth self heals 10%, 22% and PBAE heal reduction by 30% debuff (Lesser Heal, Greater Heal, Subversive Healing)
• At 15 second intervals, Borleoth checks the difference between his current HP percentage and the previous percentage.  If it's greater than 17, he cast Greater Heal.  If it's greater than 12, he casts Lesser Heal.
• Additional AE: Defiling Discharge - PBAE 23k DoT, 60 seconds (40' range).
• Scroll of G`han relic click prevents Borleoth from casting Greater Heal or Subversive Healing for 45 seconds.

Ro's Flame Rift - Gehein soulcrusher adds:

• Mirrored Skin reflects SPELL and MELEE Damage.
• Ro's Flame relic removes and prevents Mirrored Skin from gehein soulcrusher adds for 45 seconds.
• Mob name reference: A gehein soulcrusher

Our Strategy: Work in Progress

Assigned group(s) to each rift island, assist and kill the related mobs.  At times, when Lanys does go to an island, her HP will have to be reduced by 5% to force her back.

Dimbly will delegate Relic Clickers at designated times.

Remaining groups on main island assist when called on to deal with Zebuxoruk, Lanys T`Vyl, related minibosses and adds.

Zebuxoruk Warning Triggers & AEs

Several AEs in play, class specific and other.  It's extremely important to react to these.  You will be called out on failures.

Cyclonic Sickle: All class types - 138k PBAE range varied (Range Based from Zeb: 100% at 25' to 0% at 105').

Melee DPS - You are to directly melee Zeb and BACK AWAY when the WARNING trigger fires.  This way you can optimize your DPS to kill Zeb faster.  All melee  you will be called out publicly if you are not moving and out correctly.

WARNING Pattern: begins to spin his sickle
Action: Back away

Wasting: Targets CASTERS with 45k DoT with 2 minute duration.  Corruption cures 48 counters.

Pattern when dotted: Your soul begins to wither
Pattern when others dotted: Soandso's soul begins to wither.
Action: Get corruption cured

Zebuxoruk's Ravings: Targets MELEE/HYBRID classes with an AREA Charm around player targeted.  Taking a portal works well when targeted.

WARNING Pattern: Your mind is penetrated by ravings
Action: Run away from other players


Lanys to Islands & Explosive Attack

Lanys indicates which island she goes to and warns before firing off the explosion AE once at the island.  The following are related triggers for where Lanys goes and when the explosion fires.

North-East Island		rushes for the Qeynos Claymore
West Island		rushes for the Scroll of G`han
North Island		rushes for Selo's Drum
South-West Island		rushes for Ro's Flame
Explosion Pattern		unleashes an explosive attack

Lifescourge - BEAM 35% HP Debuff

Beam that reduces max HP by 35%. Targets random person (not main tank) within 175 units distance.  Having your HP reduced by 35% is a big deal when coupled with the other AEs in play.  When you are targeted, move out of Line of Sight from Lanys.

If you don't move properly on this, you affect many other players caught between you and lanys which reduces their HP making them susceptible to other AEs and requiring TWO casts of a corruption cure from a healer which diverts attention from healing others in need.

WARNING Pattern: as strong as you think, YOURNAME
Action: Run and Hide (Line of Sight)

WHEN HIT Pattern: See how weak you are, YOURNAME
Action: Lifescourge HP Debuff - Corruption Cure!

DOT Pattern: Your life is diminished
Action: Get Corruption cured


Lanys Relic Usage

These triggers help both when Lanys is on the island and main island.  Fairly straight forward, but if you don't react you'll DT the MT and others around you.

When she's on the main island she cycles relic effects randomly and continuously.  Again, it's important to react or you'll DT the MT or be hit with extra damage.

* Pet Owners: Pay attention to Ro's Flaming Swath emote (edit your trigger with reminder imo).  When it fires you must BACK OFF YOUR PET, because the beam can hit your pet which then causes the nearby MT's on Lanys to be hit with the Doom DoT effect, which when it fades kills the tanks.

Qeynos Claymore (115k AE, 80' range):

WARNING Pattern: raises the Qeynos Claymore
Action: Move away

Ro's Flaming Swath (80' frontal beam doom DoT):

WARNING Pattern: stokes the Flame of Ro
Action: Move away from the front

Selo's Frenzy - Charm on MAIN TANK:

WARNING Pattern: prepares to beat Selo's Drum
Action: MT Charm Incoming!


Lanys Ro's Flaming Swath

As mentioned above, this comes into play when Lanys on the related Ro's relic island AND main island.

If not cured in 30 seconds it'll hit everyone nearby for 161k DD.

Pattern1: You begin to burn.
Pattern2: You have taken 7500 damage from Ro's Flaming Swath
Action: GET CURSE CURED NOW!


Lanys Voidcast - Knockback

When you're targeted, you'll be knocked off the island and die if you're too close to the edge.  This will give you a 5 second warning when targeted to move.

WARNING Pattern: this was my island, YOURNAME
Action: Knockback Incoming!  Avoid edges!


Lanys Adds Spawn

At 35% and 20% of Lanys HP adds come into play continuously until the end.

Ritualists spawn 45 second intervals, starting at 35% HP.

Pattern: send your dragon away
Action: Adds spawn

Slaughterers, spawn 55 second intervals, starting at 20% HP.

Pattern: honor your allegiances
Action: Adds about to spawn.


Lanys Casts Doomsday Comet (DT)

Comes into play at 10% and onward.  When trigger fires, go to your previously assigned island from stage 1.

Pattern: This island shall be your grave
Action: RUN TO YOUR ISLAND!  DT INC.


Deathmaster Sarenth Spawns

Lanys emotes when Deathmaster spawns: Lanys T`Vyl shouts 'Sarenth, are you being lazy or merely dead? You have a job to do!'

Pattern: are you being lazy or merely dead

Made some triggers soley based on the write-up here and our first run at the raid last night. Some may need to be edited or fixxed/Deleted as this is still a work in progress. These are not offical, just the ones I have started to make for myself.

Can someone better at this than I post the Locations of each island and it's Name so I can copy it to my map file.

Lifescourge and Lifesap are both Beams to a Target.  These seem to wreck us the most during Lanys.  Missing the warning pattern for Lifesap, the current one from group mission is not the same as the raid as I was unable to find it in the logs.  If anyone has it, please feel free to reply here with it.

Also included add spawn trigger and overlay timer.

[Gimamam]

ok, modified the map - added the spawns of the adds.  also put on there where the fire was that we were splashing at and killing the adds.

read up on Alla a little - When she shouts - "Yes, Let hatred consume you!" - i believe that is the spawn of the fire rings. here is the spell info:
Fires of Hatred
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 29320
Other cast: Soandso ignites the fires of hatred.
Cast on you: You are burned by the fires of hatred.
Cast on other: Soandso is burned by the fires of hatred.
Target Type:   Targeted AE
--- Casts "Fires of Hatred" if below 14% health (targeted AE dmg, preceded by an aura, avoidable by stepping out of it).

this didn't happen till after the slaughterers started spawning - fits with the mission description of 14%

as for your post furro - mostly right, however lifesap is between her and the ritualist/slaughterer adds and hitting everyone in between.  this i preceeded immediately by the "Isn't it lovely how my followers would sacrifice themselves for me?" however, when you see that its too late, its already firing.  i can't find a timer on that as to whether she casts that after adds are up for 5 seconds or 10 or 15 etc.  there was nothing that i could find warning of it in advance.

lifescourge is spot on.

the two of them should be avoidable by being out of LoS.  we did good on keeping deathmaster behind the wall from lanys, it might be of benefit to have the adds dragged back there as well. keep things out of LoS.

The Ritualist adds - this trigger seems to coincide: "Are you going to let them send your dragon away? Fight for us!".  seems to be at 45 seconds each starting at 35%

The trigger you posted - "Cultists, honor your allegiances!" - per observation and watching the timer on screen - are for the slaughterers alone. at 55 seconds each. 25%

just a heads up on DM - he picks a target and casts this ae type spell on people around the target:
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:18 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Gimamam...'
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:18 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth begins to cast a spell. <Etherfall>

comet pattern - get off the middle island!!
[Sat Aug 09 20:15:56 2014] Lanys T`Vyl shouts 'This island shall be your grave, lost forever in the sea of the Void!'
[Sat Aug 09 20:16:10 2014] You are destroyed by a comet.  You have taken 399950 points of damage.

See was not on ETW at this point. we were still dealing with adds. - i had thought we had won because she was off etw until someone yelled to get off island. just in time to die.

I'm sure there is more - but i'm tired.

[Nuttann]

       "See was not on ETW at this point. we were still dealing with adds. - i had thought we had won because she was off etw until someone yelled to get off island. just in time to die."

Yeah, when I saw that she wasn't on ETW, I thought it was over and the emote was just a boast.  Of course, I haven't even attempted the group mission yet, so if it is similar I might have reacted to it.

A lot of people seemed to be ignoring the emote where we should back off.  Most of my group was taking the damage and fortunately, we pretty much had 10% or more health, but that is cutting it close.  I think that in most cases we had life scourge cured or it might have been fatal.

Druids can cure life scourge with there casts of group corruption cure.  That is a significant amount of time where we aren't doing heals.  I did it a few times, but pallys took care of a lot of it.  There is an issue getting everyone cured due to range.  In a couple cases, one person still had a few counters on them.  Brenlaven suggested that we might be able to use a mix of our 96 and 91 group cures.  I double checked to make sure that the recast timers are not linked like they are for some of our spells.  However, I am not sure what spell I should drop just to have 2 group cures up.  I still need single cure up for non-group members and for the "wasting" dot.  I use Cleansed Blood Rk. III to cure that in one cast.  Otherwise I have to weave in heals.  I also didn't have sunray loaded the whole time due to spell slots and had to swap it in when we got near the end.  The single is also need for curing a person not in group.

So the following is the quickest group cure for life scourge for druids.

Bosquetender's Breeze Rk. III   -- 27 corruption counters
Fawnwalker's Breeze Rk. III -- 23 corruption counters
Bosquetender's Breeze Rk. III   -- 27 corruption counters

That gives 77 counters cured if you can afford the extra spell.  Just don't try 2 of Fawnwalkers's.

3 x Bosquetender's Breeze Rk. II works fine, but just takes longer due to recast timer.

Don't forget, whether it wears off naturally or is cured, when the max HP goes back to normal, they will still need a heal to refill their current HP up to that level.

[Furro]

ok, modified the map - added the spawns of the adds.  also put on there where the fire was that we were splashing at and killing the adds.

read up on Alla a little - When she shouts - "Yes, Let hatred consume you!" - i believe that is the spawn of the fire rings. here is the spell info:
Fires of Hatred
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 29320
Other cast: Soandso ignites the fires of hatred.

Cast on other: Soandso is burned by the fires of hatred.
Target Type:   Targeted AE
--- Casts "Fires of Hatred" if below 14% health (targeted AE dmg, preceded by an aura, avoidable by stepping out of it).

this didn't happen till after the slaughterers started spawning - fits with the mission description of 14%

In my original write up, I only covered the pattern when it hits you.  The hatred consume pattern isn't helpful because it doesn't tell us who is being targeted.  Perhaps it has no warning emote, and it's entirely visual (as the developer does indicate, but I assume there might be a pattern as well).

Leaving any patterns out on this for now, until we experience it further.

By the way, a few weeks back, I definitely was ring targeted in the group mission.  But at the time, I moved.  A rerun of the mission would potentially be revealing.

as for your post furro - mostly right, however lifesap is between her and the ritualist/slaughterer adds and hitting everyone in between.  this i preceeded immediately by the "Isn't it lovely how my followers would sacrifice themselves for me?" however, when you see that its too late, its already firing.  i can't find a timer on that as to whether she casts that after adds are up for 5 seconds or 10 or 15 etc.  there was nothing that i could find warning of it in advance.

You're probably correct on this.  On our last run (the near win if not for the comet), we were killing adds more quickly and felt like as a result took less AE damage.  Perhaps others experienced this as well.

lifescourge is spot on.

the two of them should be avoidable by being out of LoS.  we did good on keeping deathmaster behind the wall from lanys, it might be of benefit to have the adds dragged back there as well. keep things out of LoS.

I don't recall on our final run how close we had Lanys and Deathmaster, but we ideally need to keep them far apart in addition to facing away from the raid.  We don't want the Lanys MTO to be hit by extra damage from:

Etherfall		Targeted Area Rain 23k x 3 waves on random players within 175' range of Deathmaster Sarenth.
		Pattern when hit: Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you.

The Ritualist adds - this trigger seems to coincide: "Are you going to let them send your dragon away? Fight for us!".  seems to be at 45 seconds each starting at 35%

The trigger you posted - "Cultists, honor your allegiances!" - per observation and watching the timer on screen - are for the slaughterers alone. at 55 seconds each. 25%

Confirmed 45s roughly for Ritualists.  I'll add a trigger with overlay, using the pattern: send your dragon away

just a heads up on DM - he picks a target and casts this ae type spell on people around the target:
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:18 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Gimamam...'
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:18 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth begins to cast a spell. <Etherfall>
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:18 2014] Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you. You have taken 14950 points of damage.
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:21 2014] Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you. You have taken 14950 points of damage.
[Sat Aug 09 19:52:24 2014] Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you. You have taken 14950 points of damage.

Right, this is the Ether I referred to above with regards to positioning.

Given how short lived DM is, I'm leaving out the trigger for this at the moment.  From our Saturday run, five players were targeted total, and I was only caught in the effect once.

[Sat Aug 09 21:29:02 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Evilash...'
[Sat Aug 09 21:29:47 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Endotron...'
[Sat Aug 09 22:51:36 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Snakein...'
[Sat Aug 09 22:52:21 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Gimamam...'
[Sat Aug 09 22:53:05 2014] Deathmaster Sarenth says 'Fall, ether... consume Trolbiterr...'


[Sat Aug 09 21:29:47 2014] Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you.  You have taken 14850 points of damage.
[Sat Aug 09 21:29:50 2014] Droplets of Ethernere rain upon you.  You have taken 3600 points of damage.

Zebuxoruk - ae charm on target
[Sat Aug 09 19:27:13 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Gimamam's mind.  Stay away lest you also go mad!
shortly after i was charmed as well as at least 6 more people/pets.
[Sat Aug 09 19:27:14 2014] You lose control of yourself!
[Sat Aug 09 19:27:42 2014] You have control of yourself again.

Yeah, this happens when Zeb is below 30% HP.  Ref'd already in the OP, but the warning pattern you've provided is helpful.  We'd like to avoid MT/MTO being charmed by nearby players and/or healers. 

Endotron also made a reference to this in FLRaids as well I've come across. 

From our Saturday run, here are those affected:

[Sat Aug 09 21:08:41 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Vectors's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!
[Sat Aug 09 21:09:16 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Endotron's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!

[Sat Aug 09 22:26:26 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Zuhymn's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!
[Sat Aug 09 22:27:01 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Lisard's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!
[Sat Aug 09 22:27:15 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Gimamam's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!
[Sat Aug 09 22:27:31 2014] Zebuxoruk's ravings begin to seep into Brenlaven's mind. Stay away lest you also go mad!
[Sat Aug 09 22:29:28 2014] Endotron tells FLRaids:5, 'Note - pattern for avoiding charm can be - ravings begin to seep into your - at which point you should run away from others, so only you get hit, not everyone around you'

So potentially all those players may have charmed others a result, since we had no previous trig/pattern.

Adding a trigger for this as:

Warning Pattern: ravings begin to seep into your
Action: Run away or you'll charm others around you!

comet pattern - get off the middle island!!
[Sat Aug 09 20:15:56 2014] Lanys T`Vyl shouts 'This island shall be your grave, lost forever in the sea of the Void!'
[Sat Aug 09 20:16:10 2014] You are destroyed by a comet.  You have taken 399950 points of damage.

See was not on ETW at this point. we were still dealing with adds. - i had thought we had won because she was off etw until someone yelled to get off island. just in time to die.

I'm sure there is more - but i'm tired.

Yeah the comet really nailed us.  We're adding a trigger for next run and everyone will run to their island assignment from earlier in the raid.  This way we don't exceed the 18 player cap per island.

Warning Trigger: This island shall be your grave
Action: RUN TO YOUR ISLAND!  DT INC.


Thanks for posting Gimamam!


* Note: No triggers referenced in this post have been added yet.  I have to needle through our logs again to cover a few other details which may result in more triggers.

[Furro]

 
With a series of progressive attempts last Saturday, we almost got this down.  Some triggers going forward, including the infamous comet DT that nailed our final and best attempt!

Also note, further down are some island relic trigger corrections.  Please update yours so they fire correctly.  Thanks.


Trigger Additions

ALL Players:

GTT File: cotf-void-trigger-set3.gtt


Lanys adds: (Ritualists), spawn 45 second intervals.

Pattern: send your dragon away
Action: Adds spawn

Zebuxoruk's Ravings - Charm target, area charm recourse:

Pattern: ravings begin to seep into your
Action: Run away or you'll charm others around you!

Lanys Casts Doomsday Comet (DT):

Comes into play at 10% and onward.  When trigger fires, go to your previously assigned island from stage 1.

Pattern: This island shall be your grave
Action: RUN TO YOUR ISLAND!  DT INC.


Deathmaster Sarenth Spawns:

Lanys emotes when DM spawns: Lanys T`Vyl shouts 'Sarenth, are you being lazy or merely dead? You have a job to do!'

Pattern: are you being lazy or merely dead



Trigger Corrections

Selo's Drum and Ro's Flame triggers are incorrect.  There shouldn't be a "the" in those two patterns.

Was: rushes for the Selo's Drum
Should be: rushes for Selo's Drum

Was: rushes for the Ro's Flame
Should be: rushes for Ro's Flame

Updated the affected triggers within set1 in the strategy post.

[Furro]

Can someone better at this than I post the Locations of each island and it's Name so I can copy it to my map file.

Via Allakhazam:

P -35.7722, -294.3850, 34.6093, 0, 0, 240, 1, Selo's_Drum
P 0.8993, 19.7522, 1.3029, 0, 0, 240, 1, The_Lifeguide
P 193.4431, -208.3663, -13.4838, 0, 0, 240, 1, Qeynos_Claymore
P -223.3729, -114.1196, -28.2227, 0, 0, 240, 1, Scroll_of_G`Han
P -213.2448, 136.1843, -65.2438, 0, 0, 240, 1, Ro's_Flame

Added these locs to void map.  Only adjustment I made was increased the font size, from 1 to 3 (largest), so easier to read.  This will helpful when DT emote fires and you have to go to your assigned island.

Map File: thevoidh.txt

Right click file and select "Save As", place in your maps directory.  Click "Yes" if/when prompted to overwrite existing thedvoidh.txt file.

[mistatk]

During the final stage, Lanys casts Ro fire dot onto players and pets, which if not cured hits everyone around the person for 150k.  It caused our last fail, and since it seems it can go on PETS as well as players its very important to get it cured and move the player or pet away from others.  If you do not do this, you will do more harm to the raid then good and you will cause the raid to wipe out.

[Mildaria]

My suggestions -

- Change warning emote for Lifescourge, the warning and landing emotes are flipped.
- Follow relic emotes (given below) especially for Qeynos Technique and Ro's Flaming Swath. Avoiding these will save a lot of raid damage / DTs.
- Camp the raid slightly more than 80' from Lanys, if possible (for Swath and Qeynos Technique)
- Keep adds out of LoS from Lanys, possibly with bard pile AA.
- 4th island (SW), Lanys Voidcast emote (given below)

The current emote we are using to avoid Lifescourge (corruption HP debuff) is incorrect - we are using the spell landing emote. The warning phrase is:

     Lanys T`Vyl says 'You aren't as strong as you think, YOURNAME!'

This is opposite from the way the group mission works.

ex:

     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:14 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'You aren't as strong as you think, Huevos!' (10s warning)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'See how weak you are, Huevos?' (Lifescourge landing)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Lanys T`Vyl begins to cast a spell.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Zaknaffein's life is diminished.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Trolbiterr's life is diminished.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Windreaper's life is diminished.
     ...
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Your life is diminished.

It's not necessarily that bad to cure our groups, but when the raid at large needs a cure, it takes a lot of healer attention away from the MT, even with pally splash assisting. It would really help out not to have to worry about this debuff landing as often (every 45 seconds).

After Sarenth dies, every 50 seconds Lanys uses a random relic. She emotes 10 seconds before using each relic. This is ample time to avoid (for the most part) Qeynos Technique and Ro's Flaming Swath (if you are meleeing).

Warning emotes for relic use:

Qeynos Technique (115k AE, 80' range):

     Lanys T`Vyl raises the Qeynos Claymore.
     Lanys T`Vyl swings the Qeynos Claymore. (10s later)

Ro's Flaming Swath (80' frontal beam doom DoT):

     Lanys T`Vyl stokes the Flame of Ro.
     Lanys T`Vyl spreads the Flame of Ro. (10s later)

Silence of G`han (single target melee & spell silence):

     Lanys T`Vyl unrolls the Scroll of G`han.
     Lanys T`Vyl reads the Scroll of G`han. (10s later)

Selo's Frenzy (charm on MT):

     Lanys T`Vyl prepares to beat Selo's Drum.
     Lanys T`Vyl beats Selo's Drum. (10s later)

Lanys Voidcast emote (she boots you off the island):

     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:08 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'Didn't I tell you this was my island, Mildaria?' (5s warning)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:13 2014] Lanys T`Vyl begins to cast a spell.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:13 2014] You are thrown by an explosion.  You have taken 89850 points of damage.

Voidcast seems to be cast on anyone else on the SW island (often whoever the secondary tank is). Not sure what to do about it, but healers definitely shouldn't stand on the SW island in the 85-80% phase (I learned this the hard way). 5 seconds is not very much time to react, but Voidcast might be avoidable if whoever is emoted gets off the island.


I'm sure many people have noticed these emotes during raids, and they may not seem that bad on their own, but when combined they can be very deadly.

     [Sat Aug 16 19:53:09 2014] Padraigg is cut by the Qeynos Claymore.

As far as I know, there's no way to tell who gets silenced so the emote for this isn't helpful (Scroll of G`han).

Knowing the charm is coming would help healers a lot, and its possible we could have another tank eat the charm for the MT if necessary.

One thing to note about this event, some of the frontal AEs that Lanys and other NPCs use are not really frontal. They are directed at a player (Lifescourge) or another NPC (Sarenth/doomscale adds).

[Zaknaffein]

Just reiterating on what I talked about briefly in the channel last night.

The trigger phrases Mildy posted pertaining to which relic Lanys is about to use will more than likely address the main reasons we are wiping to this raid currently and will go a long way in being able to defeat this raid once triggers are made for them and a strat in how to handle the two ae's when they are about to fire. Whether it's just positioning the main raid force a certain distance from lanys or using designated islands to run to before technique fires, to not putting pets on lanys/pulling pets off before ro's flame fires or any other minor adjustments that need to be made. Pets can and will wipe out the tank core if they manage to get on the wrong side of lanys when she casts ro's and pet owners aren't paying attention. Laso the MT facing lanys the wrong way will do the same, or not getting cured.

Queynos Technique and Ro's Flame are what we end up wiping to more often than not. Either from attrition due to adds/ae's slowly killing off players or dps at a stand still on lany's due to Positioning and taps healing lanys.

Our positioning of where lanys is tanked in relation to where we gather the adds has improved, Gima and bren have found a good location I think. Lure of the siren song is a great way to pile mobs in a certain location and is probably under utilized in some of our raids, but perhaps that's because of the inherit risk factor to the bard. If tanks don't have agro on their mobs when the bard hits that ability or aren't at the location the bard pulls the mobs to, chances are they will go splat if you don't hit deftdance or fade out fast enough.

Lifescourage is important to avoid as well, but right now with how we seem unable to avoid Zeb's Viral charm at the end there I'm less inclined to believe we can fully avoid this debuff from hitting multiple people at this time. I think after we improve on avoiding and improving our ability to handle the technique and ro's flame relics can we then adress the ae charm and Debuff and other targeted or viral type ae's. I am curious if Pets are susceptible to Zeb's Viral charm and spreading it, seeing as they can be hit with Ro's flame and cause it to fire and ae the raid. I doubt pets can be targeted with Lifescourage though.

For charms, this is up to the warriors to be on point and make sure the next tank up is 2nd in agro. Easiest way is to just be next to lanys and then start moving backwards and hit taunt at the same time. When you get a successful one in, once you move out of her range, proximity agro will take over and the current MT will get agro back. Current MT can also just hit an agro ability when the next tank in order communicates that they are attempting to get a taunt in. This way you won't get 1 rounded or keep agro long enough or need to use flash. Knowing though now when she is about to charm the MT we can handle this differently perhaps on the main island.

Deathmaster puts out some heavy Spell damage on the MT with his frontal arc and then after 50% when he starts throwing out some dots, along with the melee damage. Only thing on him is just more dps and keeping the MT topped off, or having chanters rune/spell guard MT and facing him away from the raid. The beams he casts towards lanys don't seem to be in play here as lanys was still on her last island.

[Gimamam]

some, not all of the emote issues for some people will be helped with the patch having increased the range on them.

as for lifescourge on a player - it follows the same rules as the adds/lifetaps from what i've seen.  it wont hit you/anyone in between if you are out of LoS on her. seems per mildaria's notes, its 10 second window - just dive onto an island or behind that middle raise or that wall there.

i dont recall getting hit with a lifescourge past 35% when the adds started spawning - i was behind the raise from that point on.


if you wanted - keep the caster/ranger dps on the fire with the healers. and the melee dps with bren/me/endo/steel/etc - the add tanks and just keep the casters going on dps countering lanys' regen? the melee dps wouldn't get hit with lifescourge there, and they'd avoid the running around following adds also keeping them out of the qeynos technique by being on lanys.  casters wouldn't need to reassist at that point.

[Furro]

My suggestions -

- Change warning emote for Lifescourge, the warning and landing emotes are flipped.
- Follow relic emotes (given below) especially for Qeynos Technique and Ro's Flaming Swath. Avoiding these will save a lot of raid damage / DTs.
- Camp the raid slightly more than 80' from Lanys, if possible (for Swath and Qeynos Technique)
- Keep adds out of LoS from Lanys, possibly with bard pile AA.
- 4th island (SW), Lanys Voidcast emote (given below)

The current emote we are using to avoid Lifescourge (corruption HP debuff) is incorrect - we are using the spell landing emote. The warning phrase is:

     Lanys T`Vyl says 'You aren't as strong as you think, YOURNAME!'

This is opposite from the way the group mission works.

ex:

     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:14 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'You aren't as strong as you think, Huevos!' (10s warning)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'See how weak you are, Huevos?' (Lifescourge landing)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Lanys T`Vyl begins to cast a spell.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Zaknaffein's life is diminished.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Trolbiterr's life is diminished.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Windreaper's life is diminished.
     ...
     [Sat Aug 16 19:49:24 2014] Your life is diminished.

It's not necessarily that bad to cure our groups, but when the raid at large needs a cure, it takes a lot of healer attention away from the MT, even with pally splash assisting. It would really help out not to have to worry about this debuff landing as often (every 45 seconds).

I've ref'd in my OP and other reply the strong pattern as well, but I think I mistakenly looked at Lifescourge as frontal and ignore how it was drawing a line to the player regardless.  Here's a snip from the dev write up concerning it:

Lifescourge - Beam that reduces max HP by 35%. Targets random person (not main tank) within 175 units distance.

So this to me reads as, targets random player (strong emote warning), 10s later, beam from Lanys to Player, if no line of sight, then player not hit.

For whatever reason, in my original reply earlier in the thread I had the strong / weak references in the code snippet.  Fixing this though as we still need when it lands, but the warning obviously is the most helpful to AVOID it landing by being out of LoS is how I understand this to work.

Existing Pattern: See how weak you are, YOURNAME
Action Changed to: Lifescourge HP Debuff - Corruption Cure!

Lifescourge WARNING Pattern: as strong as you think, YOURNAME
Action: Run and Hide (Line of Sight)

After Sarenth dies, every 50 seconds Lanys uses a random relic. She emotes 10 seconds before using each relic. This is ample time to avoid (for the most part) Qeynos Technique and Ro's Flaming Swath (if you are meleeing).

Warning emotes for relic use:

Qeynos Technique (115k AE, 80' range):

     Lanys T`Vyl raises the Qeynos Claymore.
     Lanys T`Vyl swings the Qeynos Claymore. (10s later)

Ro's Flaming Swath (80' frontal beam doom DoT):

     Lanys T`Vyl stokes the Flame of Ro.
     Lanys T`Vyl spreads the Flame of Ro. (10s later)

Silence of G`han (single target melee & spell silence):

     Lanys T`Vyl unrolls the Scroll of G`han.
     Lanys T`Vyl reads the Scroll of G`han. (10s later)

Selo's Frenzy (charm on MT):

     Lanys T`Vyl prepares to beat Selo's Drum.
     Lanys T`Vyl beats Selo's Drum. (10s later)

This is something I noticed as well, but didn't parse them all out.  So thanks again for the patterns.  Including above, except for the silence G`han one.

Qeynos Claymore (115k AE, 80' range):

WARNING Pattern: raises the Qeynos Claymore
Action: Move away


Ro's Flaming Swath (80' frontal beam doom DoT):

WARNING Pattern: stokes the Flame of Ro
Action: Move away from the front


Selo's Frenzy - Charm on MAIN TANK:

WARNING Pattern: prepares to beat Selo's Drum
Action: MT Charm Incoming!

Lanys Voidcast emote (she boots you off the island):

     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:08 2014] Lanys T`Vyl says 'Didn't I tell you this was my island, Mildaria?' (5s warning)
     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:13 2014] Lanys T`Vyl begins to cast a spell.
     [Sat Aug 16 19:37:13 2014] You are thrown by an explosion.  You have taken 89850 points of damage.

Voidcast seems to be cast on anyone else on the SW island (often whoever the secondary tank is). Not sure what to do about it, but healers definitely shouldn't stand on the SW island in the 85-80% phase (I learned this the hard way). 5 seconds is not very much time to react, but Voidcast might be avoidable if whoever is emoted gets off the island.

This will be helpful as a trigger regardless, not just for tanks, but when Lanys is on the main island.

WARNING Pattern: this was my island, YOURNAME
Action: Knockback Incoming!  Avoid edges!



Pet Owners:

When your Ro's Flame trigger fires, BACK YOUR PET OFF.  So it's not caught in the beam and affects others.
