re: T1 - Vistrix

0

Dragon Vistrix has his cave called “The Lair” in the upper center on the “Atzel Approach” map. Several quests are connected with killing this dragon, but you don’t need to have a quest active to join. It is also possible to share some quests; so if you do it the first time ask people to share when you are inside the cave entrance.

When entering The Lair you should check that other players have arrived before pressing downwards as there are many powerful creatures lurking in the shadows below. You need at least one strong group to clear the path; however, the full 24 raid crew is not necessary to start cleaning out the trash.

When clearing is done you head further inside to reach Vistrix Lair (a huge cave opening); stay on the big ramp down to not draw attention from Vistrix too early. Now it’s time to move into formations (it’s not as formal as it sounds, but the team better be in a certain order to succeed). If setup rather properly, and everyone have a somewhat good idea what to do, it is manageable with a beginner crew.


Bunch up at the lower part of the ramp with tanks in front. A dark Templar stays behind Vistrix to turn him using Dread Shadow at Tartaros Vapors (not good if a necro uses pets in frenzy as this may prevent Vistrix to turn). Turning may not work each time as it is aggro depending (as DT you can use pet control buttons to let dread attack even if you are stunned).


When adds spawn EVERYONE except the tanks assigned to Vistrix can switch to kill the adds. Some of the adds will try to move upwards to kill the Baners (why we have the line formation in front of Vistrix to suck them up with AoE). Eventually some of the adds will break hrought around the line and move upwards, then the melee dps:ers should follow them to kill them asap,, Combat Control them too "stun", "root", "knock-back". Get in between the creature and the Baner to save the Baner even if you die doing so. If the Baners die the whole raid may be wiped out by Vistrix.

To start the fight the tank pulls Vistrix to the line ensuring that the aggro is on the tank from the start.

Vistrix Bane is a spell that is used to dispel stun effect at Tartaros Vapors. The bane is obtained by doing a quest in the upper rooms of the Lair.
The bane itself is a spell that is cast in a cone forward from the caster therefore the Baners should run to stand behind the line and healers. To be safe a rotation of at least 3 baners are used, set bane order, baner 1 to baner 3, to cast in sequence to ensure cooldown is not blocking recast of bane. Each baner runs upstairs to wait until Tartaros Vapors is finished cast and then sprint to unstun.


When a raid fails it is most often due to the fact that players (not the tanks) are caught up in hitting Vistrix forgetting to switch to hit the adds leaving to many to pass upwards (newbie mistakes).

With this basic knowledge of what is going in during the fight I think you have a fair chance of success.
