Alright guys, we tested it tonight, we just kept killing and kill, and finally some guy with autism or something was like "It goes caster hybrid melee priest" He figured it out, thats the rotation. Kill it once, watch the emotes for changing and adjust kill shot for that cycle and thats the win.

Here is a link to the map of our fight setup. We killed the fourth Sentinel in the NW corner of the room, cornered against the last lip of the wall east of the corner (maroon dot on map). Back out, rez and rebuff for Marauder fight. We had the heal chain in a group with the tank lineup in case of deaths. Then parked the heal chain at the blue dot in the hallway and tanked the Marauder at the maroon dot inside the room. That keeps your healers out of the AE range. We had two AE heals during the fight, started out with Alendar's and Rikkukin on everyone, then MGB Rikkukin after the first AE hit (death sentence for the enchanter, but it keeps the rest alive).

The Marauder changes which archetype has to kill him with an emote something like Vrex Xalkak's Marauder shudders as if somehow changing (I just audio triggered "somehow changing"); however, it didn't do us much good since we don't know the order the archetypes go in nor which archetype he starts out as, nor even whether each change has a 25% chance to be any archetype or what. In the end, we went with the most-recommended strategy and just killed him repeatedly until he stayed dead, backing out and leashing him when necessary.

Wow... this has to be the best / worst encounter ever =p.. First finding the 4 mobs before (Vrex Xalkak`s Marauder)'s class type that needs to kill them... then having to find out the order of the class group.. that needs to kill Vrex Xalkak`s Marauder.. /sigh .. anyone know the order by chance =p....

It seriously sucks...

Wanna hear the worse part? It changes. It's not the same group of classes each time. For instance: You could kill him and a wizard get the killshot, he gives the message about a Hybrid needing to get the kill shot.. then next attempt (same expedition) you kill him with a hybrid and it tells you a healer needs to kill him.

Best strat I've seen is to just pick one (usually hybrid) and just stop attack at 5% every time and hope you time it right that a hybrid is the correct answer on one of the attempts.

It could be worse... they could have not made a nearby safe spot. Still a satanic encounter.

This is what my guild did last night on this raid. It took us four attempts of using hybrids but on the last one he just stayed dead.

During the fight you see a melee message that says something like "the Maurader begins to waiver as some thing is changing." But it doesnt say changed to what?
So we just killed him with hybrids until he died from it.

Each of the three failed attempts to kill him we just all ran back to the safe room and leashed him away from us. We rezzed a couple of guyz and buffed up and hit him again.

Two of the times we had roamer repops behind us, so have your ppl watch for that.
OH COME ON

They gave this guy a new 3KDD PBAE that also is a gravity flux. Cataclysm of stone or something
Ouch

Once he dies he gives a hint to kill him, but instead of being class specific it's group specific. Hybrids, Healers, Int casters, etc.
