Sky Cruiser NM & HM
Hard Mode information is in purple
Room 1 - Mobs & Perimos
Mobs
General
- Round up all mobs in left corner
- Message pops up about reinforcements (mobs and stuff)
- 2 minute mark - 2nd wave of reinforcements arrive (archers), target them - hurt a lot
- 4 minutes - 3rd wave of reinforcements warriors and healers arrive - kill them
- Kill as many mobs as possible or you will be overwhelmed
- Mobs have low balance so KD often
(Might not be a good idea since you won't be able to hit the backs of the KD monsters. Depends on your comp) - Stun as much as possible
- DPS use Backbiting
- Pull all mobs to the left corner and try to hold aggro the whole round
- Use giga when you can
- Heal and cleanse hard
- Don't lose sight of your tank in the mosh pit
- Drop HP motes in the tank's corners before starting
- Keep other MP and HP motes about 15 meters from the tanks corner
- KD (depends) and stun as often as possible
- Regress everything
- Use crit resist aura in lieu of mana if your team is squishy
- When it's about time for the boss to come out, drop HP and MP motes in the center of the room
Boss 1 - Perimos
General
Healer
- Mobs that dont get killed initially will now be invincible
- When the boss flies up, go behind him
- Will do waves of running/charging attacks
- Keep him on the stage so he won't reset when charging from across the room
Healer
- Heal hard
- Stay out of range of his AoE stun
- Cleanse fast!
Room 2 -
Mechanics
Healer
- 1st attack - Forward whirlwind charge, stay away from the front of him
- 2nd attack - Slams his arm down and spins, dodge it early
- 3rd attack - Foot stomp and another slam, don't be in front of him
- Targeted red laser - move to front or back of the map, entrance or opposite
- Blue laser - jump in front of it and take the hit instead of the crystal
- No tanking needed, straight DPS and burn!
- He will try to destroy the 6 crystals with his laser, if all are destroyed we lose
- Sometimes he will turn and do the blue laser two times or more in a row
- 50k damage for crystal break in NM
- DPS use backcrit crystals
- 70, 50, 30 double laser.
Healer
- When he "drops the soap" DPS will hit him, you have to cleanse hard through it
- Lock on cleanse before the blue laser hits then use boomerang pulse
- Heal hard because you might have to body block for a second or third laser immediately after
Upper Deck - Final Boss Darkran
Look at the first skill he will use (ex left hand or right hand first)
Combo 1 - Right-Left-Single Backspin-Escavate
AKA ------- His right hand = Escavate
Combo 2 - Left-Right-Left-Flame wave
AKA ------- His left hand = Flame wave
Combo 3 - Double Escavate-Double Backspin-Drill
Combo 4 - Double Projectile, Double backspin
General
- Boss will focus on people with low HP (unconfirmed)
- Flame wave, dodge to the side, it will push you back
- If he puts one hand up, jump to the side that his hand is down on
- If you don't dodge it you will have a debuff that needs to be cleansed
- Annihilation phase similar to BR, in out in out, avoid orange
- "Burn to Ashes" - Get the hell away (20m minimum!)
- When he flies up, run to the edge of the map
- Projectile - dodge to the left or the right
- Backspin after enrage
- Enrage at 80% (?) will give a debuff
- at 15% there will be a second enrage
- In between enrages, he summons a flame spirit who continuously debuffs everyone and it stacks
- Kill that flame spirit immediately (has 100% stun chance) 1 minute or you wipe
- Usually DPS will alternate stuns
- When he turns to you with secondary aggro, dodge immediately to the left or right to avoid fire lanes. If you’re hit, cleanse yourself Dodge immediately when the ring is at your feet.
Healer
- You can't cleanse anything....
- Heals need to be constant
- (Mystic)Use Thrall of Wrath on the ghost if the DPS are down, otherwise just Vengeance
- Heal people hard when the ghost comes
- Try not to get hit by anything (of course)
- (Mystic) Mote EVERYFUCKINGWHERE
Mote Placement
HP - By the boss in the middle and on the edges of the map. This gives the tank a way to cleanse and heal if you are busy and also gives people a way to cleanse if they are hit by Flame Wave
MP -In between the boss and the outer edges for DPS to grab when needed
MP -In between the boss and the outer edges for DPS to grab when needed
