Brief Event Overview & Strategy

We start out with a full burn on Anashti Sul.

Groups 4, 5, 7, via MA2 divert to destroy the Shards starting North, then East, then West.  Shards heal Anashti, it's important to kill them FAST.

Group 6, via MA3 destroy West shard.  Try and get your shard down before the other groups get to it.

Druids - Help nuke West shard when it pops each time please.

At 70% of Anashti Sul HP, the Shards stop spawning and two emotes come into play (Mortal Decay, and Poison Blast target on player x).

At 45%, three minibosses spawn.  Follow MA calls.

While minibosses are active, Anashti Sul is stationary.  MT, back off and maintain aggro.  Be ready when minibosses down to re-engage please.


Notes:
- Adds stopped spawning sometime between 70 and 45%
- Until we reach 70%, make sure you're burning boss, and assigned groups react quickly to dispatch shards please.  We're OT'ing adds until we get boss to 70.

GINA File: tbm-crypt-of-sul-anashti-sul-01-26-2017-705pm.gtp (updated 01-26-2017 (7:05pm))

Includes:
- Mark of Sul - Boss Self Debuff that Heal Procs when melee hit.  Use beneficial dispel on boss to remove it.
- Mortal Decay - Get in the pool aura.  Boss emotes, run to pool aura
- Mortal Decay - If you fail this, you get a huge 5 min DoT.  This trigger will fire and remind you that you failed.
- Poison Blast Targeted - This is a WIP.  I havn't done the group mission, but from what Feroxide has mentioned in his experience with it is one player gets hit, they take x damage.  If two players get hit they take x/2 (half) damage, and so forth.  So for this trigger, we're going to try and stay together to reduce this damage.

Anashti Sul Defeated!  Nice work everyone!

[Furro]

Made some quick updates to the strategy post.

[krinni]

i dont remember what it was but after i got a res on the 3 mini i was targeted and said to run from the raid. at the time there no no gina trigger for it and im not even sure what it was. I did get hit with a red aura and did not run back untill it was down (oru told me in group to run away)

[Raccoo]

Anashti Sul envelops Mulila in an Aura of Pain!

Anashti Sul envelops Mulila in an Aura of Pain!

Aye, thanks.  I've made up two triggers for this. One will fire when you're personally emoted, the other is a public emote that'll list with an overlay who was targeted by the emote.  It appears to target two players at a time.

Everyone please delete your own triggers, and update with new set in the strategy post.  Thanks.

Freelance needs to smooth out this raid before worrying about these achievements. So lets get this raid on farm status so we can knock out these achievements!

Achievement Dance Dance Retribution should to be successful every run. The dot Mortal Decay is nasty and will kill pretty much any toon that gets it...so IMO if someone gets it they should just die and get a rez...otherwise the heelerz will spend most of the time trying to keep that poor toon alive.  But if people want to live...start moving to the pools quickly. The dot lasts for 5 minutes...which is a long time for a heeler to spend focused on a toon.  It seems possible to keep the MTO alive with the dot but that means a failure...so the boss should be pulled to the pool by the MT for the success attempts.

Achievement Golem is as Golem Does is related to letting the three minis combine into one.  Not sure if they have to be near each other (probably) or in an aura (probably not) but it means having to tank the three minis for a while and then killing the merged mob.  Until this event is a lot smoother this achievement will have to wait...far too much death on this raid for right now...but once we get it down better we can look forward to Furro trying this one too.

Wins are most important but when Furro calls for going for achievements we all should work as best as we can to get them down for the benefits everyone gets from them.

During the Mortal decay/Blue aura portion of this fight Anashti will blur agro when the blue aura spawns and become rooted and will not summon. What I do if I am tanking her at this stage is pop her with warlords grasp to lock agro, then run to the blue aura. When Mortal Decay fires, she will summon again and summon whoever is top agro.

Given the refresh on Grasp and frequency of Aura/Mortal decay, grasp will not be up every single time she blurs, but every other time she does so. The tank has to alternate Grasp, then incite/cyclone/blast/phantom etc. to Lock agro fast while running to the aura so she summons you back to her after the dot fires instead of Necros... ( FYI necros this is a great time to FD when she blurs/mortal decay fires )

Long story short, the MT shouldn't get hit by the dot if they are paying attention and no adds are still up to summon them around/no buggy shit happens.

Vanquisher of Anashti Sul - Dance Dance Retribution

First, the entire run of Enslaver has to be smoother.  Remind each other (group/channels) to not use disease or corruption at 70% and lower.  Remind people to move to the blue aura. Help on the crystals as instructed. REMEMBER IT IS A BURN AT START event! OMG. The number of times Freelance starts this event with people just sitting back and not burning should be considered an insult to all of us.  It is a BURN AT START event.  AE / Kill the adds from 100% to 70%!

Getting the ach Dance Dance Retribution should be the goal each and every run. People that get Mortal Decay are basically going to die. It is a 5 minute dot that is very very difficult to live through. If you get the debuff that is a FAILURE. Living through it is not helping get the ach...plus keeping you alive cuts into your DPS and/or means your heeler has to focus on you too much. None of this helps the raid beat the event.

Unrelated to the Mortal Decay but important...too many people are not running when they have Aura of Pain. The text for that trigger changed a couple patches ago and the triggers were updated by Furro (right?) so make sure you have updated triggers for this event.

PHASE 1 - 100% - 70%
1 - Get boss to below 70% ASAP (BURN AT START)
2 - Kill adds during 100% to 70% phase
3 - Kill crystals so boss does not heel / blow us up

PHASE 2 - 70% - 45% (? Is this right?)
1 - Get in the blue aura! Avoid Mortal Decay!
2 - Avoid Mortal Decay! Get in the blue aura!

PHASE 3 - 45% (minis)
1 - Kill minis (individually or combined based on instructions)

PHASE 4 - (post minis)
1 - Kill boss (avoid screwing up on the emotes)

PHASE 5 - LOOT
1 - Loot chest!

I think that I got the targets figured out from the last raid if you want to make a hotkey.

North is "a_shard_of_health00"
East is "a_shard_of_health01"
West is "a_shard_of_health02"

Everyone should shrink for this event. Also, it makes it difficult to run into aura pools when we have 6 - 12 large black creatures loitering around after druids hit their GBW.

How to block GBW illusion on players:

EQ -> Character -> Blocked Buffs -> Form of the Black Wolf

How to block it on pets:

EQ -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs -> Form of the Black Wolf

[Raccoo]

Should we have a buff block list thread or something? Group Pact of the wolf form also is huge. Group bestial alignment form, Guardian of the forest form, also may need blocked.

There is a thread Topic: Tanks & Mitigation Buff that talks about tanks blocking specific spells, etc.  http://forums.eqfreelance.net/index.php?topic=456.0.

Something like that for the illusions mentioned would certainly be useful for the entire raid. Other illusions like the Visage's from SK are helpful to block as well.  If you start it...we can add to it...
