Raid dungeons part IV.

About Raid - everything you have to know part IV.

Now let's watch a video about a 6ppl Taros run. I will point out the important parts, so you can learn by watching and reading about it at the same time. ^^

link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQuRf01E_YI

What you have to see in this video:

- Everyone except the main tank is BEHIND Taros!

- LAVA spots!

- BIRDS and their flash (when a bird is coming, the subtank/ranger/mage have to make sure to get the birds aggro! Do not let them to the clerics! Warris, use provocation!)

- BIRD & silence at 01:20

- Taros is fire element (which is important for the mages)

- When there's lava under or behind Taros, the main tank must move him so the subtank can easily access to him again. Watch closely at 02:00

- DEBUFF of lava (clerics have to debuff with 'lifting a spell' the main tank when he needs it. BUT! Wait with debuffing until he's out of the lava!! at 02:10) The other classes use lifting a spell debuff stone: single or aoe or both. try to collect these types of stones and plus them at general goods NPC. Mage has their own debuff skill, which is good for debuffing lava and fire breath.

- DEBUFF of birds flash (clerics can debuff with curing an injury)

- At 03:14 1st phase ends at 60% with the aoe stun from Taros and he runs behind a totem stone. From this point u can't dmg him.

- ORANGE BALLS (The one in charge of destroying them and collect fragments is the mage! If there's no mage in party, then a cleric does it with some dmg support from a ranger)

- Looting fragments -> 03:33 pay attention how Imp does it. 1) destroy ball 2) loot fragment 3) go near to the stone totem & click on it 4) open your bag and click on fragment 5) go and keep doing the same until the stone totems HP is at 0.

- There are 4 spawning spots of orange balls: 1) at the entrance of the room 2) in the centre of the room 3) on the right, not so far from Taros 4) in front of Taros (this order will keep repeating, but the first 2 positions can be moved to both sides in the room)

- YUSAD, the High Cleric (known from Papyrus expert as last boss) spawning on both sides and running towards Taros to heal his HP back. Clerics can help here and use weakening or other spells to slow them down until a damager kills them. Ranger(s) should pay attantion to them and the mage when he/she is free for the moment.

- DRAKE (known from the Arrogance expert dungeon as last boss) spwans on the right first. He deals with high dmg and uses aoe fear (05:14) too, so warriors be focused and get their aggro RIGHT AWAY! Clerics stay as far as u can from it so u won't get hit by aoe fear. When the warrior is feared and you're not, use lifting spell and heal asap.

- SKELETON LORDS spawn first on the left side. They also deal with high dmg and stun you at the same time, so if a cleric gets their aggro, heal yourself, meanwhile you run to a warrior to get off the aggro!! Warriors pay attention to their spawning and when you see them appearing, go and use provocation, get their aggro right away!!

- Clerics' FACTION BUFF (when Drake & the skeletons are at the same spot dealing with the warrs, go and apply your faction buff! But not both clers at the same time pls^^)

- Clers! Fear spells won't work on these mobs! Do not even waste your mana on trying it out, ppl tried it before you. Just use aoe or single slow down spells if u want to use something. Or if you see someone in danger, you can bubble the mob or your teammate.

- LAST FRAGMENT (06:10) use it when there's no mob spawning and there's no mob being on the field. In the video you can see Imp released Taros when there were still mobs around it's not the best move, because then the damagers are occupied with that, but Taros will come on berserker mode and won't wait until you're finished. And the clerics have to split their focus between healing the main tank and healing the ones attacked by mobs.

- FIRE BREATH aoe attack (07:29 & 09:49) that's also in the 1st phase, I know. But in these moments you can see why it's important to stay BEHIND Taros. If you are in front of him, you will get it too as SecretMelone (cleric) & SakuraZ (cleric) did. It's harder to debuff more ppl than only one (main tank), not to mention you have to avert your eyes from the others and heal yourself for the time being.

- FIRE BREATH & LAVA in 3rd phase - in this phase after each time Taros uses his aoe attack (fire breath) a lava spot will pop up under the main tank. So clerics make sure, you have your debuff spell AND other active lifting a spell stone ready to use after one other. (09:49 10:02)

- If you need debuff go to a cler (even if you have debuff stone with you!!!). Clerics are faster than u may be, so make sure you aren't running to the opposite direction for help! It costs a lot of players lives because they run away and can't debuff themselves in time (especially in 12ppl!!).

- If you DIE in 6ppl, just click on resurrection and come back inside! You can do that as long as you have enough time on your key! If you do not have more time and your key crystal is alrdy disappeared from your bag then DO NOT resurrect!! Just stay on the floor and keep chilling! Why? If the others finish raid successfully and you're not inside, you can't claim for items from the dungeon! And once they are done, the clers can ress you on the spot.

- If you DIE in 12ppl, DO NOT resurrect! The gate is closed, so you can't come back inside. So just keep chilling on the floor until the very end (if you want items, that is).

- LOOTING ITEMS - we ALWAYS redice for items. Not in case if we have only one ranger or mage in party, then ofc they can take their own items. But usually there are 2 clerics and 2 warriors, so before claiming for those items, redice for it and be fair! If you once loot an orange item here, you CAN NOT trade it anymore nor use wrapping papers!!!! These items are SOULBOUND! So best is not to loot anything even if you are single mage/ranger there, cause if you loot the wrong item by mistake, you can not use it, only trash it or sell it to an NPC.

- ITEMS in 6ppl Taros: purple lv100 items (the same you get from greed expert), orange items (soulbound), orange trinkets (rings & necks these are tradable).

- FREE FOR ALL distribution - party leaders make sure before attacking that the distribution is on ffa! The fragments can't be looted by the appointed player other way!

- Check your stones before going in, cause once the attack started, you wont be able to change them!

If you guys have any questions pls ask them here or ingame. But here is better, so everyone can see it! If you understood everything then the only thing left is to try it out in action and have fun! :)
