Question, when the devils die and the blades spawn from them is it a momentary spawn, or do they hang around?

They hang around.  They spawn as soon as the devil drops and you are all of a sudden in an OJ Simpson nightmare.

They hang around for a bit, fuck your shit up, then go afk while circling for a few until Harry comes down.

Least that's how it's looked to me.

Heh.  The funny thing about the Ishy vs fake ishy thing, is that I tried for YEARS to convince my guildies to call me Osh instead of Ish.  Somehow, it just never stuck.

Some of them have wised up and gone with 'sharon, but that's about the limit.  Although others have been going with Ysh, which doesn't help since it sounds just like Ish anyway.

And then there's the small subset that just go with Tregarth, or AUM scum.  (I'm looking at you Alex!)

Sigh...


Its funny how we have these weird nicknames that so many people use. I answer to Jon now out of habit even though for the most part we use rl names in AoK vent. I dont even really play my Jondallar character anymore and i renamed one JonnyDrama And Jdollar but they are basically mules. It sounds really funny when guys call me Sasi or Hawtty!

i don't get the dps shit slowly.

last night (hard) i went in told arcanes to put up 2 disco balls.

stood in first, adds zoned in, group ran to second discoball.

1 circle of death, 1 finger and 2 destructions later, we waited for second wave to spawn, ran back to first discoball and repeated.

maybe i was spoiled with 2 arcanes and 3 fvs, but trash didn't drop too much slower and the blades weren't a problem till the end of round 1.

Going to go back in tonight with an artificer and see if his reduce damage orb thingy mitigates blade damage, failing that i've gotta come up with an idiot proof exit strategy cause melee dropped like flies when escaping.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?

Agreed. Once new tactics are devised as the "standard" and everyone knows the drill. The majority of groups that will wipe do to latency running on elite will also esily beable to reform and regroup and get to that point again within 10 15 minutes. We see that in botched raids all the time, thank goodness this isnt the Twilight Forge where there just isnt anyway to speed things up. In fact twilight forge is worse now that you cant just have 1 or 2 people clear the preraid and death run through the hallways. This is another annoying raid that will be run even less... how are those Soaring Isles packs selling I wonder?

I've been pretty convinced that crowd controlling them,     ( heightened web then mass hold) and letting the group pick them off one at a time is the way to go.  You can still wail or circle of death them, as long as the rest of the party isn't in the immediate vicinity.  The blades that home in on you tend to go after the person generating the most threat.  Generally that's the cleaving barb or haste boosted melee.  That person then runs into the middle with the other melee.  Blades follow them there and goodbye most if not all of the melee group.

Holding them offers the opportunity to pick of the barbazu one at a time.  Or, if the party gets the hell back, has all blades coming at a caster or ranged toon who is not moving into the melee group or near the raid healers.

What's interesting is that I see a whole new possibility for griefing groups by taking out the barbazu en masse then moving torward the party.  I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the future.

As far as the ring of blades, the gap is more than enough to step through without getting hit.  One can start out close to Arry and move away through the gap.  Having all of the folks in melee range move the same direction at the call (typically 7 o'clock) allows a single mass cure or heal to keep everyone good.

High dps groups will still one round him.  Worse scenario seems to be two rounds in a mediocre dps group.  Archers can hug the wall with a fireshield on and never get hit at all...

The damage ball should work, it is supposed to reduce all dam 25%. But it is 1 person only and has a 180sec cooldown.

It does work, 2 round hard shroud, follow the big blue orb, was fairly idiot proof and was easy to heal through

I visually confirmed what I read earlier; the Barbazu turn into the blades when they die.

This has always been the case, unless they took those blades out sometime in the last 9 months.  Perhaps people just didn't notice them because they were pussy blades then.
