About Raid - everything you have to know part III.
Informations and instructions about 6ppl Taros run
So we kinda arrived to the important part. Now you can get an insight how things actually work in raid. Raid consists of 3 phases. All the phases have their own 'special' characteristics. As you enter the dungeon there will be a bird awaiting for the visitors.^^ In order to reach Taros and start the attack, you have to kill it. Well, it's nothing extraordinary, but still important for us, because this bird will have a crucial role in the 1st and 3rd phases.
As the main tank starts the attack on Taros, 1st phase begins. Except the main tank, everyone should stay behind Taros (among other things its bcuz of his aoe attack). In this phase what u have to pay attention to are: LAVA SPOTS and BIRDS.
-> LAVA SPOT
So basically... lava spots will pop up on the floor. You have to be quick enough and jump out of it as soon as possible. If you are late even with a few seconds, you have to be debuffed. For this, stay close to a cleric or mage, but it would be nice if u had at least one active debuff stone (lifting spell) with you. Of course clerics are fast with debuffing, so usually you wont need it, but there can be always unexpected events, so make sure u have one. Lava spots are in 1st and 3rd phases only.
Biggest problems here:
problem no.1 -> Ppl keep staying in lava and die. Even if the clerics debuff them, if they dont come out, they have to be debuffed over and over again and they will make clerics lose their concentration.
problem no.2 -> If you need debuffing, move close to a cler. Running away from them wont help your situation. (Some tend to do this out of panic. Dont panic. Go to a cleric.)
problem no.3 -> Just recently met with this, but i will let you guys know just to make sure. Debuff yourself AFTER u jumped out of lava. If you do it in the middle of the lava spot and will keep staying there it has no meaning.^^
-> BIRD
So I introduced our little birdies in the beginning of our dungeon trip. Yes, those are the notorious birds we are talking about. These little cuties will appear in 1st and 3rd phases. Before they make an apparence, there will be a blue flash of light coming. If you touch the light, you will be silenced... so do not touch it. If you did, move out of it. Birds are after the clerics. They just love them. The bird team (about this later) will be responsible for killing them. Do not underestimate birds! They do damage heavily too.
Biggest problems here:
problem no.1 -> Staying in the flash. Move out of the flash if you wanna use your spells/attacks, pls. Lot of ppl do not move out of it. (clerics can help debuff silence here with the spell 'curing an injury')
problem no.2 -> As I mentioned they are after clerics. Clers, im talking to you now! Do not run away from birds. Heal yourself if it's needed, but do not run, because the bird will follow you and the ones who are in charge to kill it will have to run too... or even if a bow ranger has to kill it, do not run that time either. Just keep still.
problem no.3 -> I'm talking to the warriors (and rangers) now. Usually we have a bird team, which task is to kill the birds. The moment they appear they will go to a cler with the most aggro, so use provocation to get their aggro. You have to be fast and alert all the time. If you cant get its aggro go after it and kill it on the spot. Pay attention to the flash!
Well. We kinda arrived to 2nd phase now.
So let's see. 1st phase ends when Taros is at 60%. At that moment he will use an aoe stun and he will run behind a big stone totem. Here starts 2nd phase. You can't touch Taros anymore because of the totem, so dont bother attacking him. Our job is to destroy that stone totem, but not with brute force (!).. so not with mere attacks, but we need to collect fragments, which is usually the mage’s or if there’s none in party then its the cleric’s task.
-> How to collect & use fragments?
You will see big orange balls appearing in the dungeon, those have to be destroyed. If u destroyed it, you have to loot the fragment from it -> that will be put into your bag. So go near the stone totem, open your bag, click on totem, then on the fragment in your bag. You have to keep collecting the fragments until u can destroy the whole totem.
BUT! This far it sounded pretty easy.. ofc Taros wont let u collect fragments idyllic, he will send some mobs on you. You will realise that these mobs are bosses from other dungeons. So.. there will be 2 spawning points of these mobs: one on the left and one on the right. Cleric mobs will also run to Taros, to heal his hp. We wont let that happen. Other mobs that coming are: skeletons and Drake. Their attacks are powerful, so clerics pay attention! They use aoe fear too, so clerics try to stay further away from them.
Biggest problems here:
problem no.1 -> The 2 cleric mobs spawn at the same time with the orange balls on both sides. When warriors are occupied with other mobs, they will miss them and the mobs will reach Taros and heal him. Clerics can help here and slow them down with spells or in extreme cases: bubble them.
problem no.2 -> Decide beforehand who will collect the fragments. Appoint a player for the job! It should be a cleric or a mage. The others should attack the other mobs. It will cause problems, if everyone moves on their own and there's no team work.
problem no.3 -> If the warriors weren't able to get the mobs' aggro at first and they are after other players, run straight to the warriors right away, do not try to kill them on your own (this especially important in 12ppl, cuz they can one-two hit you!!) & warris, make them into one group, so you can kill them together.
When the totem is completely distroyed, 3rd phase starts. We basically have the same things here as in 1st phase, the only difference is that Taros will be on berserker mode. This means his attacks will be more aggressive and more powerful. He can even one hit a warrior, if he has low defense. Clerics make sure to keep healing the main tank and do not lose concentration.
Biggest problems here:
problem no.1 -> This kinda belongs to 2nd phase tho, but make sure to destroy the totem with the last fragment when there are no mobs around or they arent spawning!!
problem no.2 -> Do not forget that lava spots will pop up again and along with them birds will come too.
-> What if I die?
If you die (no matter in which phase) resurrect as fast as possible and reenter. If you were the tank, make sure you have buffs on before you take back the aggro (with “Provocation”- skill).
