Ok, each time we went in, it was always one of the first two by the door that were top. Our first encounter, someone must have moved too far from the door because we aggro'd the non top, he began a/eing us. We blurred him and he FDd. Then backed out the door and got adds, the girplan maniacs, the negative, and an accolyte of granduer I think.
We rezzed up. Went in this time the one on the other side of the door was top, we formed around him while invis and engaged. Got him to like 96 or so and he must have respawned because we lost target, repoped and I asked if he was the top, was told yes so we beat him again. Got another depop about 98 %.
Adds spawned and the chanters mezzed them first to debuff for charm, our tank didn't know this and when he lost aggro he hit an a/e to gank it back, when that happened it broke mez and all hell broke loose.
Shortly after that the Negativity spawned. What is the catalyst for that? Aggroing the wrong accolyte? That was my guess but we were all clustered at the proper one.
The Mindshear extends its power through its acolytes. The world distorts for a moment.
That emote was directly linked to adds spawning from what I could see, every time we got that emote, we got adds.
I don't mean to seem obtuse here, i'm just trying to get my bearings on what all is going on.
We engaged, 51 seconds after we got:
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Kyv Form>
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Girplan Form>
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Noc Form>
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Girplan Form>
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Aneuk Form>
The Mindshear begins to cast a spell. <Discordant Noc Form>
The Mindshear extends its power through its acolytes. The world distorts for a moment.
At this point we should have backed out?
This is when we first got adds as well, in addition several people we illusioned to look like mobs. I assume the forms listed about. Several noticed that while in a form, they got buffed or debuffed, one appeared to give attack another reduced AC.
Not knowing we were supposed to back off we continued, I asked several times on the depop repop thing if this was still top of spawn and was told yes. Then we got:
Mindshear Acolyte says 'You have no idea what weaknesses lie in us all! Illness, weariness and death are upon us at all times. You never know when such a thing will get you and you'll end up dead.'
At that point he cast: Wave of Freezing Terror
That was 1 minute 5 seconds from first engage. He emoted and cast it again 35 seconds later, 30 seconds after that, 25 from that.
The Negativity shows up in my logs exactly 2 minutes from engage. The first notice I have of him is a knight grabbing aggro on him. I have nothing prior to that indicating why he spawned.
Also it appears Narcolepsy is used during the fight, nothing casts it but it appears to land on random groups even though it's a single target spell. My logs show it only hitting a couple people here and there randomly, when it landed on me, it got my whole group from what I can tell, again, I can't find the catalyst for it.
So essentially, we go in engage the first mob on track list until we get that emote then back off? Recheck track and repeat? The adds also spawn then so we would charm them and send them on whichever chosen to attack.
