its basically what we were doing wrong (watcher popping up bit onwards).
RANGED AGGRO: most crucially the cross tanking hunters need 5-10 seconds of strength stance nuking to gather aggro on the tentacles before the champs start showing us how good they are. that was the reason we wiped. when we are in the new tentacle stage the tentacle mustagain be left alone until the designated hunter has aggro.
WATCHER AGGRO: the tank apparently has to learn to pull aggro ASAP, the watcher bobs up and down a couple of times before actually emerging and being aggroable.
DEBUFFS: debuffs are key, LMs need to apply wind lore on the ugly head bit which debuffs both tentacles, as well as fire lore etc. this will half the damage the hunters are taking and reduce by 30% the damage the tank takes. The two LMs must work together to ensure these are on him at all times.
CORRUPTIONS: the tanks sting skill is apparently 100% effective over time, it has to be left to work apparently. the tank must spam this and the LMs will again work one after the other to remove extra corruptions (one every 15 seconds if we do it right). it is the tanks responsibilty to inform the group of the corruption levels as he is the only one that has the leisure to stare at it throughout the fight.
SETUP: hunters must have maximum morale, even at the expense of power, with 2 LMs this wont matter. hunters should also have as much ranged mitigation as possible. tanks need to go for morale and melee mitigation. everyone else needs as much radiance and health as they can get, a chain is preferable but if not use destiny point hope.
CONSUMABLES: one of the kins favourite fuck up areas. bring lotsof health and power pots and use them all the time, not just when you are fucked. if you are 600 power down and have a power pot ready use the fucking thing, same with morale. also you will need hope pots (30 mins), coming on a raid with none is not acceptable. get some of that poison soup, tea for vitality boost etc. get some scrolls (improved warding + battle), the same people are popping them all the time and we are running out!
DON'T PANIC! read the link, know the fight and know your role. running about like a headless chicken and shouting cos your upside down doesn't help. we know you are hanging/dead/need a heal but things take a bit of time. be calm and do what you need to and the watcher will be dropped.
GROUP:
2x Minstrels - (fellows heart)
2x Capts - (traited for healing/buffs, your DPS is laughable anyway)
2x Hunters - (strength stance power whores please)
2x LM's - (power drain, beacon of hope or healer)
1x tank - (grumpy no doubt)
2x Champs - (deathstorm)
1x random, DPS pref.[/i]
Well, I can bring Nanora but unfortunately I think 4,8k morale is my absolute max - I have all the morale traits that I know of equipped, so is up to you if you think it's enough
verd shoulders are nice and easy mate. helm is a bitch and is easier to get from the turtle tbh. _________________ Ell Captino - Kitabras

very nice post luka, was just about to do the same now when i got home, but glad u did it instead i agree with everything u say, especially on that part that everyone needs to bring pots, hope, scrolls, food for them self so everyone can use. just one more thing, the traits as well. its rly easy to get your traits maxed, just need a bit of grinding and almost all can be done solo as well. so no excuses fix them if u wanna raid imo ^^
and you are a very good leader so looking forward to have u as raid leader tomorrow lukanåb _________________ slacking is a way of life...
