DISCLAIMER - I am not well versed in this raid, this is just a basic walkthrough. I still dont know all the mechanics or ATs.. so take this with a grain of salt and I hope it helps.
An End to Fear
This raid is just a beefed up version of the 2nd mission in HoF.
Phase 1:
Idealistic Group Assignments:
1:
Xaric tank group
2:
a tentacle aberration -"Terror" tank group
3: Kite/backup tank group
4-6: Crystal Melee DPS/Protectors
7-9: Crystal Caster DPS / Xaric Caster DPS
Trigger the raid, and have your groups spread out around the crystals ready for the adds.
ALL crystals are to be killed to trigger the auras ASAP.
Bugs spawn, Snag 1 and mark it NOT to be killed, this mob is to be brought to the first aura (Any is fine) to be powered up.... All other adds are to be killed until all crystals are down.
Once all crystals are down finish off the remaining adds, and no more adds will spawn except "
a protogen fear" (little blue golem). They must be KITED, and they will rush active auras.. so kiters must be VERY quick to aggro them out before they power up. If any power up, they must be killed.
When the golems are locked on kite and no more adds are up, DPS should begin on
Xaric. Get him to 1%.
While all this is going on, Terror group should be moving the powered up add around to each active aura and powering it up even further. After all auras are deactivated and Xaric is at 1%, DPS should switch to the Terror and kill it to spawn next phase.
While the script is summoning Cazic to advanced to next phase, peel off the golems from the kiter(s) and kill them.
Phase 2:
Cazic the Inchoate and
Xaric
Terror tank group now becomes Cazic Tank group.
Kite group are required to pick up the new adds,
a frightfinger,
a terrorspinner, and
a glarelord. They will respawn if you kill them, so you must kite them for the duration of Phase 2.
Full burn Cazic till you get emote shown below
Cazic has like 30 or so different spells he casts, and I havent dug through Lucy/Allah to figured out what each does.. My main suggestion is, if you see a stationary crystal that's not normally there.. MOVE AWAY!

There are also some Pillars/Crystals that will attack you, some had good luck with simple auto attack on them and they poof. I had no such luck and had to just fade..
Only AT i really noticed was-
You have been marked for punishment
This seemed to be put a debuff on people that increased dmg from Dots and DDs by 60%. Nasty, not sure if cureable.
Xaric has become vulnerable to death through Cazic's touch!
Once Xaric is at 1%, and Cazic is at ~10% (We actually had it unlock at 70% one time..), Cazic will emote a DT (
ABOVE) and Xaric will become killable. Finish off Xaric to win. Adds will despawn and a chest will spawn.
