Quickie:

Add types:
Dark Animus
2 Massive Golems -> can hold 36 anima
(8 Large Golems kept Inactive = no nasty red puddles)
25 Small Golems -> holds 4 anima

Set up:
3 Tanks (see positioning in pic underneath as red dots)
6-7 H
Mdps on small golems on the side (blue dots)
Rdps on small golems at the back


Tankspot strats:

Start: All raiders take on 1 Small Golem each. Keep aggro (even healers), DON'T KILL your add. (no dots, no pets)
They hit like a girl if kept separate.

Left tank kills its add -> 1 Massive Golem activates.
Kill the 9 Small Golems on the left side near the active Massive Golem -> Massive Golem is stuffed with 36 anima.

Right tank kills its add -> Second Massive Golem activates.
Kill the 9 Small Golems on the right side near the second active Massive Golem till he's stuffed too.

Third tank kills its adds near Dark Animus -> Dark Animus activates.
Tank swap with first tank (stacks of Explosive Slam!!).
Stay away from the sides (to keep Large Golems inactive).
BURN THAT BIG BABY! (before he reaches 100 anima) and keep spread out. (+hero)


Keep in mind:
Dispel Matter Swap when it has 6secs left. If one of the Matter Swappers still has an add, just walk back after the swap.
Dark Animus Tank run out of Anima Ring, then immediately tank swap. (alternatives: Leap of Faith, warrior jump)
If a Massive Golem should die (normally not), stop casting on Interrupting Jolt.

Final details:

Mix Mdps up with Rdps.
Make sure all healers with dispel are freed first.

When you're Matter Swapped, don't run back to your original position, stay put with your add.

Tanks taunt the little adds one by one (instead of people running to Massive add).

Once first Massive Golem is full, tank swap. Next tank swap between the same tanks is at 5 stacks. This way, a tank is free again to taunt off the second full Massive Golem. Communicate to follow up tank swaps in phase 2.

Oh and some strats for the deadly trash that is hugging Animus' ball:

Stack up!
And assign 3 interrupters for the 3 adds that do huge short range dmg (adds with hands that DO NOT GLOW).
