3 Cycles with 3 Phases

CYCLE1:

Ph1:
[Ts+Mdps in center] + [Rdps edge innercircle]
Drop 7-8 stacks (OVERCHARGED) @ outercircle
OT on add (CELESTIAL PROTECTOR) -> 25% to outercircle to kill = explosion
Dispel CLOSED CIRCUIT

Ph2 (85%):
Kill waves of 6 balls (ENERGY CHARGE) = explosion

Ph3 (when ball reaches edge):
RUN TO EDGE (bye bye platform)
Kill opposite pylons (FOCUS)
Tank adds (COSMIC SPARK)

CYCLE2:
Ph1 bis
Ph2 (50%) bis
Ph3 bis
More dmg in outercircle

CYCLE3 (endphase):
NUKE + HERO

Could you clarify what 'bis' means ? I'm probably being thick but have no idea what it stand for

[Nihil]

Im guessing its short for 'everything happens like in cycle 1'?

Oooookay, lots of puzzeling tonight. We're keeping 3T and 6H for now.

For the "trash": See Lith's vid underneath.



For positioning on ph1:
H+rdps left of activator.
Tank healers on Grey (unmarked raid marker).
Boss faced towards pink.
Tanks run to Grey to drop stacks.

For positioning on ph2:
Kill last add when boss = 86%
Every grp of 6 people go to their assigned raid marker.
Kill 2 waves of balls. Ignore 3rd wave (for now).

For positioning on ph3: (when wave3 is coming, start running)
Everyone from Yellow, Pink & Unmarked, run in between Pink and Unmarked, start nuking Unmarked Pylon.
Everyone from Red, Blue & Green, run in between Red and Blue, start nuking Red.
Go clockwise.
When last pylons are dead, tanks run to boss with little adds.
Kill little adds.

Good little vid showing the trash being kited by the tanks (Wardens only)



I'm guessing when we get to the packs with extra mobs 1 tank (of the 3) should be able to take care of the extras as a) the 2nd pack only has 1 Arcanist who hardly melees the tanks he randomly hits anyone in the raid and b) 3rd pack has 2 of these arcanists and the engineer who needs to die asap as hes a healer/buffer for the other mobs. Take care of him and the arcanists first and we are onto a win, the only problem I can imagine is healers keeping tanks in range. Didnt look like there was many probs in the vid as the guys tanked the adds around a localised area ie in a big loop.

As far as Celestial Protectors are concerned - I really think we should have melee on them, I mean, they need to run outside to drop their stacks anyway, might as well do it while killing the add.

[Tan]

We had 6 rdps and 2 mdps on them tonight. Depends on how many rdps there are per raid i guess...
8 dps in general should be a good number.

If the add is not going down soon enough, grab more mdps tomorrow and keep a close eye on it.

[Gladion]

I gotta agree with Flexie here. Uptime on boss between melee and ranged is clearly preferring ranged.
Melee need to run out to drop stacks, run back to boss, check their stacks again when add is exploding, perhaps run back out (if those are +5), rinse and repeat.
Personally I would put all melee on add (depends on raid ofc) and let ranged focus on boss. Most guides take melee there only because we can burst those sparkly balls of energy down quicker.
