I don't think they are different definitions Niber. We just did that last night.

Ah, nice. Of the two guilds I talked to last night we both had the same experience with frequent AEs. We even theorized the frequency was corpse related but it didn't seem to be related after testing. But something definitely didn't seem right. Perhaps we either missed something or it was bugged.

Sidenote, I heard they're adding a teleport that makes the tentacles a more integral part of the encounter.

I don't care who knows how to do this mob I hate it so much, but the aoe's stack if he hasn't recently been hit with a fluid from what I understood.

It sucks without resettable trash for new guilds becuase you could use up most of your skins at this point, get it to 10% ish and have to wait a week becuase that aoe just smashes too fast for a fury to barely keep up with

Except that it can be done without any fluid. I don't mean that to be insulting or anything, just saying it's possible. We didn't even know about any "fluid" until after we had killed it.

What I don't get is, the first time we went in we didn't use any fluids and had no problem with the AEs.

I've heard a few theories on AEs:

1. They're based on deaths.
2. They're percent based (every 20%).
3. They're based on fluids.

All seem reasonable. I guess I'll have to test it more, I hope it's something we're missing.

You are missing common sense solutions. I'd point them out but this encounter has all but been explained what is supposed to happen in this thread, I'm not going to bring that any farther.

Shit we were supposed to have 11 healers! I knew it...

Niber · 12-05-2007, 10:02 PM

For those keeping tabs, it's 1&2.

first time we zoned into COD we had 16 people in the raid, our first pull on lev got it 50%, we certainly didn't know about fluids (the explosive kind! o.o ). the whole evening with those 16 the AE was of little trouble. anyway that first visit we killed it quite easily with 16 people, using fluids and all the other crap that goes with the fight. it only took us 27 mins.

the last time we went there the AE went off almost randomly, afaik no one was dying every 3-4s and nothing was done differently. we killed it, but the AE seemed very screwy on our last visit compared to our first.

Phrozen · 12-06-2007, 09:30 AM

And your last fight took how long? 66 minutes I was told

That there should've screamed that something was wrong.
