Instance Overview

This is a survival raid on a duration timer. The goal is to survive over half a dozen waves of mobs until the timer bar fills. On T1, waves are triggered by time. On T2, by speed of killing or lack thereof as well.

Details

One of various sets of adds is randomly selected each wave. Anyone who receives the "mark" debuff will be targeted by all the archers (arrow mark overhead) and take very heavy damage. Warriors (sword mark) do AoE damage. Captains (shield mark) have auras boosting damage of others around, which increases when anything is defeated. They may not be CCed. Summoners (sun mark) have CC adaptation. Mobs should be pulled out of green healing puddles.

On T2, challenge comes with another wave if you defeat all of the current waves of adds. Keep three standing until the horn blows announcing the next wave to not trigger extras. Berserkers attack random targets and come at different times from the normal waves.

Sets of Mobs include:

4 Captains, 3 Warriors
2 Captains, 4 Summoners, 1 Warrior
1 Captain, 1 Summoner, 5 Warriors
6 Archers, 4 Warriors
6 Archers, 2 Captains, 2 Summoners
2 Archers, 2 Captains, 2 Summoners, 2 Warriors
2 Archers, 4 Summoners, 2 Warriors

This is not the order in which they spawn.

Debuffs incoming healing (Tier 2)

Strategy:

After first pull, tank runs to spawn point, 2nd tank hangs slightly back to catch overflow

KILL ORDER:

Archers First
Summoners Second
Captains Third
Warriors Fourth
Summoned battle cats just get AoEd or focused for extra rallying cries

Not every wave has every mob type, as shown above. Focus as necessary based on which type of mobs are present.
Bare in mind all should have an icon that gives them 1 free stun break every 60s (not necessary if you have a good LM) so use it, it may save your life. When stunned, all BPE is 0 so you get hit hard.


Ideal group makeup:

Healing intensive at the start of each battle, Minstrels recommended due to down time and unattunement of an RK healer.
Captains very necessary.
Burglar = useless
Champions and Lore-Masters = coveted
Guard/Warden= interchangeable tanks
Hunter = do not want more than 2

If anyone has anything to add please do.
