When: Sunday, November 4, 13:00 & 14:30 (server time GMT), 14:00 & 15:30 (EU, GMT+1)
What: Serpents' Ire (Domain of Vabbi)
Teamspeak: ts.psdh.eu (there will be a special Serpents' Ire channel)
We are organizing to run the meta event in the Domain of Vabbi, Serpents' Ire. This meta event is linked to two achievements and since most Serpents' Ire events fail - due to a lack of organization - it might be hard to complete these achievements.
On Sunday PSDH also runs Triple Trouble and this event will continue as usual. Right after we finished TT, we'll jump straight to Vabbi and start the meta. Make sure you are on Teamspeak before we jump, otherwise you might have a difficult time finding us or getting into the map.
The achievements linked to this event are:
Redeeming IG-6417 is part of an achievement chain and has to be unlocked. In case you haven't unlocked this achievement, you might want to do so before the 4th.
Event PointersFirst of all..
BRING CC SKILLS!. If we do not have enough crowd control, we'll be unable to break the defiance bars and the event will fail for sure. Check the wiki (
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Defiance_bar) for more info about what skills you can use.
Secondly, since this is an event which is not done as much as other big meta events we'll require everyone to be on Teamspeak (even if it's only to listen!). Commanders will not have time to type everything in squad chat.
The meta event can be split into three phases.
1) Slay veteran or higher-ranked Branded monsters to raise the ire of Branded Forgotten zealots and lure them out of hiding
This is pretty straightforward, just search in the branded area (right side of the map) for veteran, elite or champion Branded and kill them. Make sure to split up to cover more ground.
Once enough Branded have been slain, Branded Forgotten zealots (5 of them) will appear somewhere in the Brand. These zealots don't have a static spawn spot, so if you have found one give us the location on Teamspeak or squad chat.
2) The Branded Forgotten zealots have regrouped at the
Grand Court of Sebelkeh. Defeat them!
This is where most of the Serpents' Ire meta events will fail.. Due to lack of Crowd Control..
The main objective here is to kill the 5 zealots before they can detonate the crystal. The only way to damage these zealots is to
BREAK THEIR DEFIANCE BAR. Since there will be 5 of them, we have to split up the squad into 5 groups and make sure each group has enough CC.
Can't stress this enough... BRING CC!3) Defeating the zealots has incited the wrath of Ysshi Hessani and Pek Rakt Grag. Stop them!
After we have defeated the zealots the two final bosses will spawn. This should be pretty straightforward and shouldn't be an issue. We'll be killing Ysshi first because he can resurrect Pek Rakt Grag. Ysshi will alternate between melee and ranged combat, so attack accordingly. At times Ysshi Hessani turns invulnerable and the veteran spark and branded sparks that appear must be destroyed in order for it to take damage.
We kill the bosses, get loot and check of some achievements.
Hope to see you there!
