The new raid

[protokon]

That is all.

[MeliCat]

That is all.

Having 'FUN' are we?









For some value of 'FUN'.

[jeremyt]

yep, got stuck in the end battle for over an hour before we decided to pull the plug. super awesome

[MeliCat]

Sounds awesome.

We need a new guide in the guide section: " How to complete the new raid without it bugging out". Collective known workarounds...

The only group I've attempted this with on live got to the end battle... but we didn't know what we were doing, only had seven people and I was solo healing... so there was zero expectation of completing... I would kind of like to only seriously attempt this again with a proper effort if we know it's not going to bug out.

Oh well. One day I guess.

There's only one work around you need to know...

Don't run it.

Yep... for one reason or another I have been very sucessful with this work around so far

[SaIamander]

My work around is: let Bailey lead

[protokon]

My work around is: let Bailey lead

sadly that doesn't make this any more bearable for me

It's not the organization/leadership/players in the raid that are bugging me...

[BurningDownTheHouse]

My work around is: let Bailey lead

And don't let her guildies grease Ana at the end

[Permian]

IS finished it a couple nights ago. It took some doing at the end fight but we were able to finally get her to open the portal and complete. We did follow the instruction not to attack her during the dialogues and Trooper pointed at that you only have to take her down to about 10% health while managing all of the trash and killing all of the portal keepers. In hindsight it seems that an effective method to manage the queen and the seemingly never-enfing spawn of portal keepers and trash would be to split the group into 2. One group with a healer, caster, and a couple big DPS for the queen and the other group to manage the trash and keepers. When she was finally down to 10% and all of the stuck mobs were killed is when we were able to get her up the hill and through the portal.

I know right!

Me too! Just the yesterday while NOT beating my face with this CiTW brick I pulled an +3 Adamantine Scimitar of Smiting in Heroic Elite Wizard King! AND was on my TWF Druid to boot!

Not UBER-UBER loot by any means...

But I can't cannithly craft smiting

And most importantly while NOT running Turbs Newest Highly Polished (yet Non-Functioning) Turb of a raid I only have to deal with contrived angst around Turbine's failure instead of witnessing it first hand.

A few things ive learned from my completions.

Follow the no talking while she is monologging.
Casters/healers move as much as possible while legs are being killed.
Watch the edge while beating her down. You can fall off.
Ana spawns the platforms, if a non zerger has her please wait.
Buff while she does orbs, saves time.
End fight.
Have to have Ana touch that last web to spawn the platform above. Pull trash.
I like 2 teams. Self healing melees on lloth bc she sucks sps. fvs or caster to handle spider on llloth is nice.
My personal method for end fight is Kill trash, prep keepers, orb, prep lloth, kill lloth, kill keepers, zerg.
I like to have a bard or arti that i can trust to take ana for the last fight, hang back, come up when trash is down and do orb. After orb is down, they pike up top. That trash also has to be pull ahead of time.
I tried a all prep and beatdown as per advice from a trusted friend, that run we ended up having keeper respawns, as where 2 teams seems to eliminate that.
Dont grease the last stone bridge as Ana seems to fall off and get stuck below.
Try not to drag keepers around platforms too much as they can fall off.

Not full proof, but hope it helps someone.

And again, don't let your guildies grease Ana at the end.

Yay for Bailey!!!

We tried to do an initial trash pull of the last platform onto the previous but somehow managed to pull *everything*. So there must be a trick to how far you take her up that bridge and back. Got quite messy and became a close whipe. Missed point about Ana spawning everything... we worked that out fairly quickly though Looking forward to learning better how to do this raid (and still MA also....)

You have just the person with ana hit the web and walk it till lloth speaks. Then backup. You will get one wave, a few spiders and a LOT less lag on that platform.
