Raid Packing List Raid mobs have always had a variety of devastating poisons, noxious effects, arcane curses, stuns, stifles, and knockbacks at their disposal to make it a challenge (or darn near impossible) for the raid force to defeat them. Discovering the strategies required to kill these raid targets is a key part of raiding. Raid mobs tend to have elaborate scripts, puzzles, or strategies required to defeat them. Solutions that work for one guild may not be appropriate for another due to the players and classes present in the raid. One raid force may have a lot of...

Getting Mileage out of Macros How do you create a Macro? If you already have an ability on one of your hotbars and want to turn it into a macro, just right-click it and choose Create Macro…. If you want to create a macro from scratch, then press O, click the Macros tab, and find a blank space labeled and click it. To add a command like a /group /raid or /tell, make sure Macro Step: is set to Command and click Add Step. To add a combat art or spell or use a potion/scroll/item, then next to Macro...
Dayakara — Fire Elemental If you are familiar with the Tairiza fight, this will seem vaguely familiar. Strategy Off-tank will pull Dayakara to the alcove to the immediate left when entering the room so that Dayakara is facing away from the raid. High DPS scouts (as chosen by raid leader) will focus on Dayakara during the entire fight). Off-tank (OT) healers will focus on keeping OT alive and group cured. Adds spawn every 14(?) seconds. MT will be picking up adds right in the center of the room. MT healers will focus on keeping MT alive and group cured....
Digg – Corrupted Earth Elemental Positioning/Pull To start, everyone should be standing on the floating bridge close to Digg’s island. On pull, the Main Tank will rush Digg and then everyone runs past the tank to get behind Digg. Digg should be kept facing roughly the same direction as he was before he was engaged but perhaps pulled 1 or 2 steps forward. The raid force must get right on Digg’s ass, extremely close to him. Do not stand a few feet back, or off to one side, as you will get hit by the 180 degree frontal AoE....
Imperator Ignus – General at Arms The Main Tank will rush in and spin him on the star you will see on the floor in the middle of the room, facing away from the main raid force. The Main Assist will target each add and everyone helps the Main Assist kill the adds. Once they’re dead, the Main Assist targets Ignus and burns him down. Straight tank and spank, nothing special. Gelidus Ventus the Tempest Positioning When you enter Gelidus’s room you will notice very large fans that take up entire sections of walls, and then solid walls between...
Pawbuster – Executioner’s Throne Room Special Attacks Whirling Attack — Every 20 seconds, Pawbuster does a trauma AE which triggers Intimidation, causing the 18 closest players and pets to be stifled/stunned for 1 minute. This will be cured by the healers. Great Cleave — Every 20 seconds, Pawbuster lifts his shoulders and does his “big swing” with his battle axe. This is a frontal AoE Knockback and Stun which cannot be cured. The main tank will be the only tank directly in front of Pawbuster, with secondary tank to Pawbuster’s left ot right ready to take agro. Stuck –...
The Leviathan Chamber of Destiny The gatekeeper of Veeshan’s Peak. You cannot enter VP until you have personally killed Leviathan. Only one person on the raid who has killed Venril Sathir or Overking must be present to zone a raid into the Chamber of Destiny. To kill the Leviathan, you need 3 items: Greenmist Orb (purple X) Drops from Imzok’s Revenge, the boss of Protector’s Realm. At 15%, Leviathan will emote about the Greenmist Orb becoming Active. One party member holding this item will run to the North end of the cave and click the Statue when the green...
The Protector’s Realm Upon entering the zone, all the named skeleton mobs are non-aggro and unattackable. To begin the storyline, search carefully for Ludmila Kystov in the room with the unactivated Doomcoil and select the option to make a deal with her via right click. She will tell you a tale about her “raid force” and discuss the possibility of a group effort between your raid and her force. After speaking to Ludmila, have a priest (it must be a priest and no other class) resurrect Jracol Binari (again via right click and not the actual spell). Once Jracol...
Assassins, Rangers, Brigands, and Swashbucklers get as much as 40% of their damage through the use of poisons. However Bards (Troubadours and Dirges) cannot use them. These poisons not only cause additional damage but also debuff the mob which is the most important factor to allow the other classes to maximize their own DPS. Scout classes can use 3 types of poisons at one time. Poison damage can be affected by AAs. The specific numbers below are for level 72 Mastercrafted poisons. Damage (Red) — Top the parse! Caustic — Inflicts 749 poison damage on target. Vitality Breach —...
