Great Job by everyone in the group.
We got super close to finish this raid on elite at least 2 time last week but we had some terrible bad luck.
This time we finally did it.
We still have some work to do to make it smoother and have fewer deaths.
Cannith server first!
Enjoy the screenshots and then I will post the video soon!
This is the strategy we used. Contains spoilers!
Guide to the raid: Defiler Just Epic Elite
Kill the 4 monsters of the first room.

Kill four other monsters in the second room.
In the third room there are blades that rotate around the room.
Avoiding the blades party gathers in front of the gate to the east of the room.

When all the members of the party are in front of the closed gate few more monsters will spawn.
To protect the less tankish party members it's better to fight in the north east corner of the room.
Once all trash is dead the gate will open so you can step inside the fortress that needs to be protected from the devil's invasion.

You kill the two devil executioners that appear in front of you and then the party splits into two teams, one that protects the north portal and the other one protects the south portal.

Your mission is to rescue the fallen Archons and avoid the devils to invade the fortress with more than 15 troops at the same time.
Every 90 seconds 4 devil executioners and 5 devils reinforcement will appear. The spawn points of the executioners are random (usually the corners of the map) but you can see a column of light from the ground to the sky that indicates where the archon lies.
The Executioners will be standing next to that column of light.
You have 75 seconds of time to kill the executioners. Doing so will rescue the fallen archon, otherwise the archon will die.
If during this phase 5 archons die the raid fails.
It's important to avoid staying in the center of the room in this phase to avoid getting the attention of random trash monsters that will slow your group down.
The reinforcements will either spawn from the north portal or the south for the first 4 waves and then from both portals at the same time after that.
After you rescue enough archons and kill enough devils the gate to the end fight will open. Your kill count should be around 145 at this point.

In the final room you will face a giant worm and Erinyes Minion, the archons that you failed to rescue in the earlier stage of the raid.

Ranged characters can jump up top of a big rock in the east of the room and wait for the boss Eudoxia to become active. One of the ranged characters will shoot the worm to get it's attention to distract him from the melees.
The melees will instead focus on killing the Erinyes Minions.
As soon as Eudoxia becomes active everyone will have to focus the dps on her.
After 35 seconds, the boss will cast an AOE attack that will deal fire damage. A pit fiend and a devil commander will also spawn.
From now on, ranged toons will continue to attack the boss while staying on top of the rock in the east.
Someone with evasion and high reflex save will kite the devil commander and pitfiend around so that they can't target the rest of the group.
Once you kill Eudoxia, the monsters disappear and you can loot the chest!
To survive Eudoxia's AOE Bomb you should have evasion and around 70 reflex save or, if you do not have evasion, get a fire absorb 30% item (usually boots from 3bc or prismatic cloak, Fireshield blue spell (or energy sheat) and a shield. The best shield imho is the purple dragon shield that grants +8 to your saves while actively blocking
