E17 Mechanics Change and Tips
Melee Range: All people in melee range (3 DPS + Tanks) will be hit with filth damage throughout the fight. Healers will heal through the damage.
Filth Circles: After each "Shadow Out of Time", everyone in raid will get a filth circle that must be place out of the way and must not be over lapped. This includes, the Shadow at the phase change in P1 going into P2; Every Shadow in P2 after each bird is killed; Shadow in P3.
Zuberi: Zuberi (NPC) must be picked up. If not picked up, none of the other buff circles will be activated.
No Zuberi = No Rose and Mei-Ling!
No Rose and Mei-Ling = ZERO DPS!Slows/Hinders: Every raider will be get a slow debuff that must be cleansed by the healers during: Every Personal Space. When "Shadow Out of Time" is cast. This includes the phase change from P1 to P2, after every bird is killed in P2, and every Shadow in P3.
Filth Damage: When Personal Space is cast, everyone in the raid will be afflicted with filth damage and a slow. Healers will heal their group through the damage and cleanse the debuff.
Pods: Pods will heal if not interrupted. :eyes:
Hulks: Now immune to CC.
Tips
HEG Users: From experience, HEGS should only be used TWICE after the first pull in P1. Save your third HEG for the incoming pods. When running back for P3, use it ONCE, then save it for pods. (Since buff circles are up in P3, not all HEGs might be needed to kill the pod, but in P1, no buff circles. All the HEGs there.)
Cleanses: In P1, Regen can be used freely to heal, CU should be your cleanse for pods. In P2, Regen after every filth circle, CU for slow when Shadow is about to be cast. In P3, save Regen for pods, and cleanse PS and Shadow with CU.
Hiding: To make it easier for everyone when running into P2, if your healer heals on the RIGHT side of the arena then you will run and hide on the RIGHT side of the arena during the phase change. If your healer heals on the LEFT side then you will run and hide on the LEFT side of the arena.
Phase 2 Adds: Save HEGs for the adds instead of launching it immediately at the hulks. Adds take a while to gather up, and now have more HP.
