Anguish Event: Overlord Mata Muram  

There was a rumour going around that if a player did not have a mask looted, they would not get the gaze cast upon them as long as enough other people within the raid had masks. This was not true for us tonight, the first cast was on an alt that had not looted a mask.

Did all of Anguish yesterday to get orbs for a bunch of bots. One group of 105's and my 115 cleric. Burned him down so fast that he didn't port us out to Tures room. Did him about 2 weeks earlier when they were in there 80's and got ported out at 4%. It seems his porting can be bypassed with enough dps. Not that it matters really, just an oddity.

Did the whole Anguish raid today solo, took 2 hours. This isn't a bragging post at all since tons of players have solo'd the raid at 105. Just posting some comments for benefit of others, such as they are. The key for me was using damage shields and every mana-free AA and clicky I had. Mana was my only problem with some of these bosses, I was never even close to being in danger of dying. I finished Overlord with no mana but that was because I didn't bother to med up when he ported me out at his 20% HPs. I had 20% mana and didn't want to chance something odd happening as per some of the earlier posts.

Note I was ported out to Ture's room at 20%, NOT 30% as noted above.

AOE DD to clear the Frenzied Lashers is very helpful.

The only debuffs I bothered to clear, using RGC AA or clicky, was on the Overlord since SILENCE is a PITA at any level.

Having done Anguish several times in full 54-man or so raids way back in the day it was a lot of fun to see it this way since I actually have a much better understanding of the mechanics and requirements of the zone. Considering each of these bosses, from Keldovan on, was "a bit" of a challenge to solo, I have to give credit to the first guilds to tackle this zone since these mobs have a LOT of HPs and do a lot of damage.

Since writing the previous strat, I've risen up the ranks in my raiding group and I'm now the main raid leader. On a recruitment open raid last week, we successfully killed OMM with an open raid of 28 raiders, ranging from level 75 and 85, including one very good war tank of approx 5k ac / 30k hp. Given the upgrades in levels/AAs/equip etc, the strats needed an update. Here is my revised OMM strat:

1. Tell everyone NOT to equip or use their masks. This makes the fight much faster and simpler, but requires OMM be buff stripped later on. It also requires a tank able to survive an attack round of the powered up OMM

2. Instruct the raiders to ignore the two Coerced Lieutenants.

3. Have the MT tank OMM in the doorway as per normal. Tell everyone to very tightly bunch around the door and OMM. Ukuns spawn during the encounter on top of random raiders. Keeping the raid tightly bunched makes dealing with them far easier, and it also prevents accidentally adding the Coerced Lieutenants.

4. Have the rangers create an audio trigger for "body shrivels" - the message given after a mask click is missed and OMM receieves the buff Mata Muram's Gaze Recourse. When the sound triggers, immediately cast Nature's Entropy (Monks also get clickies to do the same, E.g. Mist-Blessed Leather Tunic) to remove it.

5. Typically a few moments after this the Frenzied Lashers (ukuns) are due to spawn. Have one or more AE agroer (wars or SKs are best) and one or more AE DPSer (rangers and wizzies work well) create audio triggers for "Frenzied Lashers". Instruct them to use a very brief audio sound. When done correctly, they will hear a sound similar to popcorn popping as the Frenzied Lashers spawn and begin hitting raiders. The tank(s) must AE agro asap followed by the AE'er(s) putting them to a quick death.

6. Everyone must have an audio trigger for the Mark of Death emote "you feel a gaze". This spell hits precisely 10 raiders per cast (though some will resist it) so every group must have a curer, and everyone who is unable to cure themselves must announce their need for a cure in group asap.

7. At 30% HP, the fight will pause for about 30 seconds, while some scripted storyline takes place. Immediately hold all battle rezzes, and instruct everyone in the raid to /corpsedrag any dead group members. After the 30 seconds elapses, everyone is ported to Ture's room, along with any dragged corpses.

8. Instruct everyone to run to warden Hanvar's room to rez and rebuff. This room is good as it is close enough to OMM to call for a charge, but far enough away that one stray raider won't mistakenly click back in to OMM's area and trigger the continuation of the encounter.

9. After an unknown amount of time the event naturally resets. Ths time is less than 15 minutes, but more than 4 minutes. The safest approach is to get everyone rezzed, the MT fully buffed, and critical buffs such as haste and crack passed around. Once this is done, call everyone to charge back to OMM's room.

10. Once the MT and healers are in place, have the MT retag OMM and continue the event. Instruct those with critically low endurance and mana bars to pause outside the room and med for a moment longer. I only gave this option to a few key clerics, but you can include more raiders so long as enough are left with OMM. Be warned, the ukuns will happily walk through the portal.

11. Continue as before and kill OMM.


Note: I suspect that this strat could be improved by keeping the healers in the room with the red emblem, and healing the raid through the door. I have yet to test it, but the AEs may then miss the healers. They will need a bodyguard tank such as an SK to handle the ukuns however.

When you see the emote about a gaze of deadly power, you've got precisely 10 seconds before the Mata Muram's Gaze spell goes off. At least, that's what my logs show for the two times he did it before we wiped on our first attempt. :-)

And speaking of timing, the batches of four little ukuns seemed to show up about once a minute, regardless of whether we'd reflected his gaze yet. Looks like they might appear about 2 ticks after the target gets the 'strange buzzing around your head' emote as a warning, so if they're quick they can call for someone to be ready to peel off the adds.

Would like a full report on how to take him down. Our guild has been trying to get info on how to do it, but have been not able to get anything. Plz help on this. Would help every raid that goes to this event.
