Default books in Ward of Elements!

So I have tried just about everything on these bastards. We usually skip them.

Even if I run in, divine aura, deathmarch, nefarious sacrament, and pull them to a corner, pop reposte, and pretty much solo them for the first 25 seconds, I still lose 1-2 when the healers come in to start healing, usually resulting in them getting raped.

They ignore my rescues during this time, only my mythcal can pick them up, but obviously that's not going to pick up both.

So what am I doing wrong on these books?

Everything else I've done so far has been easy. Even the fire guy's adds all come to me no problem at 20%.

Presuming you are tanking the zone as only tank ...

Just burn em down with max dps, max group heals and tell the healers to target high dps with single heals. You should easy survive with the group heals.
If someone dies just ress em and keep going.
Wait untill all aoe stuff are up b4 you pull again.

Simsalabim its cleared.

The rampages tend to kill everyone. They have to pull one off at a time.(which usuallu happens automatically) And yah I'm the only tank, it's more fun that way!

We do this with 2 tanks, Much safer and easier. I run in and aggro the mobs(If you use Deathmarch to grab initial aggro first pull you can save Sacrament for the next wave, then deathmarch will be back up for the third wave)

I grab all the books and drag them away from the raid, our other tank picks up books that memwipe off me and drag them back. Never any deaths.

Its not screwy, its actually very easy, just realise that there are two books that constantly mem wipe and work around it.
You cant force these two books to target you, but you dont need another tank.

I cheat when I do this encounter, I'll run in, death march to get them at the start, wait a bit then grave sacarament, by the time sacrament is down, only a couple books are left, burn all but 1 of them, then back up to the vestribule, kill it then have the raid run up the stairs a little ways, wait for the 2nd wave, and rinse repeat what I just did for the next 2 waves.

The dps scouts or a second tank grab the books if/when they drop to healers. If they have trouble I pull them off otherwise I just let them burn those down first.

I kill these without Divine Aura, as I specced out of it since TSO launched. Useless ability tbh.
