The Crumbling Emperor

Will curse whole raid on pull, just a ticking AE damage curse that can be cured through fight. Best to cure these all asap.

Every 30s, he will set either the Outer rooms, or the Middle room on Fire, which is instant death for people in those rooms. You can only have maximum of 6 people in each room, or you get ported to the centre and die.

There are 3 clickies in the room, that must be done between 50 and 55% - (52% works perfectly) to remove some of the nameds powers. If done too early, it fails and its a wipe. If done too late, he perma-stoneskins.

After 3 clickies are done (all clicked at same time), named unroots. You recieve a green message in text if successful. Even when successful, he will heal to 100% again.

Named gains 0.5 Weapon Damage Bonus the longer the fight goes on. After 50%, just burn it while jousting to rooms as normal.

Curses after 30% must be cured - They will port players to the centre of the room, and they will be unable to do anything. If the curse is not cured, they are killed and ported to the room above and taken out of the fight.

Fight is basically a dps check to get him down before your tank runs out of stuff to stop him taking too larger hits. Get clickies right at 52%, and cure curses.

Ok, guess I will start this up. This is what we have gathered so far.

There are 4 rooms, split raid up to the 4 rooms, i.e. (g1 = room 1, g2 = room 2, etc)

Start groups standing outside of their rooms with their backs up against the wall and range the Crumbling Emperor.

A message will pop up saying that the rooms have caught fire, after the rooms have caught fire and cleared, groups go into their rooms because next the main room with the named will catch fire. Keep dpsing ranged. After main room is caught on fire and that clears, everyone runs back out to their spots outside the room and continue dpsing ranged.

Now this is where we are getting stuck. Everything is going great until we burn him to 50%, at which time a red text message comes up and the named becomes unrooted and stoneskins. We know we are supposed to do something with the crystals up top. Are we supposed to energize the crystals or de-energize them?

We have been trying everything and cant get the stoneskin to drop on the named. We tried to pull the named back to the pedestal and energize the crystals that are de-energized, but that doesn't drop the stoneskin, as well have tried to pull him back to the pedestal and de-energize all the crystals and that doesn't work also. We also know that you cannot click the crystals too soon or you get the message that it was done with him at too much health and he unroots and goes crazy killing everyone. Any help would be much appreciated. Last named of the zone and its driving us crazy trying to figure it out.

At 55% have 3 people click the Crystals at the same time.
When clicked correctly the named will heal back to 100% in 1 go.

So, no matter whether it shows the power coming from a crystal to the pedestal or not, you click all three at once and he heals to 100%? Does he stay on the pedestal or when the three people click it he becomes unrooted?

It was 50%, not 55 and you could interact with the crystals, but the second that happend, he was able to hit people for 55 million+. There wasnt much time to click any crystals. I guess the tank needs to be ready with stoneskins and blockers.

We will be working on this on Sat again, but now that I re-read things here it looks like you are supposed to do the coordinated click at 55% BEFORE he gets down to 50% and does the emote about calling on his ancestors. Will share more as we get there.

Something that will help a ton with the <40% curses is to know that you do not have to wait until the center room stops burning to move back out. Give yourself about a 3 second count after the, "Center room Burning" message and you can move back out to cure the person who got teleported/cursed.

Can you cure the curse from edge of the side room with field of war or a troubador?

I do know if someone dies from the 40% and under curse and you have a channeler in the group, their pet rez will negate the exile part of the script if you fail to cure the person.

answering my own question - cure curse is unmodifiable, so field of war did not change its range.

Thanx for the strat post.... helped to jog my memory 2 xpacs later :)
