Boxed this in 36 minutes, and that's with plenty of downtime to mez and rebuff for a death.
The first two nameds spawn right at the center area so don't set up your group there, just the tank. The nameds pop VERY quickly after one of your group beats down the glass wall to the required level---faster than that player can run down and join the fight. I used a carefully-timed Call of the Hero to have the group all together in time to meet the named.
Now the last fight was a surprise, all 4 mobs spawned at the group, or else they immediately aggro'd on to the group, ignoring my tank, which was about 20 feet out front of the group, which was at the doorway. The pack of 4 mobs killed my enchanter first! I figured this was all she wrote since I didn't have time to mez the lieutenants. But my warrior got off an aoe taunt, seemed to be able to hold agro on all 4, and surprising to me, with FINAL STAND disc, managed to tank them all with cleric + druid healing. This gave me time to cast call of the wild on the enchanter and as soon as she returned, I got off an aoe-mez on the 3 LT's. Once the adds are locked down, at 105, this final fight is trivial.
The aoe spells were mostly resisted and when they did land they didn't do all that much damage. The spin-stun is short duration, rarely lands and for some reason my tank never experienced it, and that's the most important thing.
Fun mission, and actually IDEAL for boxing since all the mobs come to the group---albeit a little too quickly. ;)

Call of the Forsaken Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor This group mission begins with Frislo (click for map image) in the Bixie Warfront. He is a drakkin found in the Queen's Wet River bixie camp (from the Ethernere portal stone, head east up the ramp and just follow the ramp until you come to the queen's camp). Pre-Requisites for Requesting: - Level 95 - Completed "The Bixies of War" (Bixie Warfront partisan task) You say, 'Hail, Frislo' Frislo glares at you, 'So you're the one who failed to rescue my brother? The one who thought it would be a good idea to use explosives at the center of a hive full of crazed bixies?' The exasperated drakkin rolls his eyes, 'Do you have any idea what you've done? The hive is now swarming with more bixies than before! You need to [help] undo what you've done and free my brother from captivity.' You say, 'How can I help?' Frislo takes a deep breath in an attempt to calm down, 'I suppose I can't completely discount your efforts, since at the very least, you were able to locate where Jacyll's being held. It'll take a lot more force to break him free, though. Whatever material the bixie's are using to imprison him won't shatter under your first alone. I hope you brought a solid [group] of allies, or perhaps a [raid]?' You say, 'I have a group' Frislo says 'Let me know when your group is ready and we can [begin] this rescue.' You have been assigned the task 'Saving Jacyll'. Frislo needs your help rescuing his brother from the center of the bixie hive. You say, 'Let's begin' Frislo nods. 'I'll run ahead and make sure the path is clear. Meet me at the center of the hive where Jacyll is being kept.' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Bixie Warfront. Task Steps Meet Frislo at the center of the hive where Jacyll is being held 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: Frislo said he's clear the way to the central room where his brother is being held captive. Meet him there to begin the rescue. Speak with Frislo 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: Frislo appears anxious to speak with you. Destroy the translucent wall surrounding Jacyll 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: A thick wall of unknown material is keeping Jacyll trapped. Use magic and might to break the wall. Defeat Pelzia the Crazed 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: The hive is attacking! Defeat Pelzia the Crazed before she kills you and your allies. Defeat Warchanter Neezzee 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: The hive is attacking! Defeat Warchanter Neezzee before she kills you and your allies. (Task locks upon Neezzee's death.) Defeat General Vaxa and her Lieutenants 0/3 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: The hive is attacking! Defeat General Vaxa and her Lieutenants before she kills you and your allies. Speak with Frislo once again 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: Frislo looks as though he has something to say. Claim your reward from the Honeycomb Chest 0/1 (Bixie Warfront) Task Window Says: Your efforts shouldn't go unrewarded. Break the Honeycomb chest and claim whatever is inside. The Event: Triggering & Pelzia the Crazed Head up to the top of the hive, and hail Frislo: You say, 'Hail, Frislo' Frislo points at the translucent cage surrounding his brother, 'Here! We need to use all our strength to destroy this wall!' DPS "a glass wall" to 75%. At 75%, it locks health and "Pelzia the Crazed" spawns on the bottom floor (not auto-aggro): Your aggressive actions have caused the hive to stir. Frislo looks around, unsure of what to do next. 'Do you hear that? That buzz? The bixies are swarming. They're going to attack!' He eyes his brother before peering back at your group, 'You need to stop them before they reach Jacyll!' Pelzia the Crazed spawns in the entry room of the hive. She sees invisibility and has a fair-sized aggro range. She hits for a max ~16,750 and casts two AEs: Stinging Blade: Area PC 30', Unresistable (-1000) 1: Stun (2.00 sec/200) 2: Decrease Hitpoints by 53200 Wing Bash: PB AE 500', Unresistable (-1000) 1: Knockback (8) and Toss Up (2) 2: Decrease Hitpoints by 10640 Kill Pelzia the Crazed to update the task. Pelzia the Crazed has been slain by _____! Frislo shouts 'Quick! Come help break down this wall while the hive is quiet. We won't have long.' The Event: Warchanter Neezzee NOTE: The task locks upon Warchanter Neezzee's death. DPS "a glass wall" to 50% to spawn "Warchanter Neezzee" in the same fashion and location as Pelzia. Your aggressive actions have caused the hive to stir. Frislo urges you to be silent, 'Do you hear that? That familiar buzz? Pelzia must have called for reinforcements before she died. I'll keep an eye on Jacyll. You head down to the main floor and kill off the bixies before they reach us.' Warchanter Neezzee hits for a max ~16,750; and casts "Spinning Blade" and the random single-target spells "Hush" and "Mind Sap": Spinning Blade: PB AE 50', Unresistable (-1000) 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 44240 2: SpinStun Hush: Single Target, Unresistable (-1000) 1: Silence (1 tick) 2: Amnesia (Silence vs Melee Effect) 3: Increase Curse Counter by 60 Mind Sap: Single Target, Unresistable (-1000) 1: Decrease Mana by 4300 2: Decrease Endurance by 2150 Kill Warchanter Neezee to update the task. Warchanter Neezzee has been slain by _____! Frislo shouts 'Quick! Come help break down this wall while the hive is quiet. We won't have long.' The Event: General Vaxa and the Lieutenants DPS "a glass wall" to 25% to spawn "General Vaxa" and three lieutenants. Your aggressive actions have caused the hive to stir. Frislo groans as he hears the familiar buzzing, 'Are you kidding me? More bixies?!' The frustrated drakkin looks toward his brother, 'Don't worry, Jacyll. We'll get you out of here eventually.' Frislo nods in your direction, 'You know what to do. Slaughter those bixies!' These four mobs are aggro-linked, so you'll have to handle them all at once. All four mobs cast the random single-target spell "Venomous Sting". This acts as a reverse-knockback, pulling the target towards the NPC casting it: Venomous Sting: Single Target, Unresistable (0) 1: Pull target towards caster (5) 2: Add effect: Venomous Sting General Vaxa hits for a max ~14,000. The lieutenants each hit for a max ~11,400 and are rootable/snareable and mezzable. Kill these four mobs to update the task. General Vaxa has been slain by _____! Lieutenant Drix has been slain by _____! Lieutenant Vyzik has been slain by _____! Lieutenant Zizzix has been slain by _____! Frislo shouts 'Quick! The wall is about to break. Just a bit more brute force and my brother should be free!' Completing the Task Destroy the glass wall... Frislo hugs his brother while giving gentle reassurance, 'It's okay, Jacyll. You're safe now, you're safe.' The relieved drakkin loosens his embrace and reaches for the drum that his brother is still clutching, 'You'll never have to play for these bixies again, I promise.' Frislo takes the drum and turns toward you. Speak with Frislo... You say, 'Hail, Frislo' Frislo says 'Thank you for helping me rescue my brother. I'm sure it'll take a while for Jacyll to return to his normal self, though who knows? Maybe one day he'll be comfortable playing music again. For now however, I want this drum out of our lives. Please take it far away from here when you [leave], and ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.' ...And open the chest to complete the task. You rescued Jacyll from the main hive in Bixie Warfront. You say, 'Let's leave' Frislo hands you the drum in a gesture of trust and respect. You receive "Selo's Drum". LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Bixie Warfront. Loot and Rewards Task Rewards: Experience 187 platinum, 5 gold Possible Chest Loot (1 item + 0-1 armor piece + 0-1 Rk.

The stupidly useless aug seems to be the most common chest drop. 7 missions ran, 6 augs dropped, and 1 Enchanted Honey Mask.
This mission makes me want to kill Jacyll myself...
Update: 13 missions ran, 10 augs have dropped/rotted, 2 Enchanted Honey Masks, 1 Striped Bandit Mask.

That stupidly useless aug is nice for silver players because it's non-prestige. It's also great for boxes and alts. Feel free to complain all you want, it's your right.

Ok when you finish the task and talk to Frislo and say leave.. he gives you Selo's Drum.. Anyone know what the drum is for. says quest..
LTs are also mezzable. Had no problems with fight as all LTs were locked down by a bard. GV had nothing special except occasionally tossing everyone in the air, a la Gravity Flux.

SK, Mag, Shm
(SK is 9K AC, 112k HP)
Begin is the phrase to get in, if you try ready it will think you are trying to zone into the raid instance.
2 DPS merc
1 Cleric merc
Although the named say "optional" we had to kill them to get the glass targettable again.
Head to the top, Hail the guy, attack the Glass.
75% Glass becomes untargettable,
Named spawns in the center below you
Pelzia has a large AOE, shaman + Merc were able to handle the load.
An AOE hit two times in a row once,
Lost 1 DPS merc
We started attacking the glass again
50% Glass becomes untargettable
Run down and engage the name (No timer really)
Warchanter Neezzee
Hit Much harder, the AOE hit the same about the first but also had a stun+spin effect.
Task Locked after she died.
Attack glass again
25% becomes untargettable
Run down, General Vaxa spawns with 3 LT adds.
The Adds are linked to Vaxa, if you attack Vaxa they attack too (even if you split them, or the boss out)
Each one of the adds appears to Pull a random party member to them, so it can be chaotic and a nightmare for boxing.
VP Works on the mobs, so i'm assuming other forms might.
Wiped on the first attempt.
Wiped on second attempt.
Ended up getting two merc clerics and managed to VP everything.
Everyone had to play heads up and run away from VP'd mobs, lost one during and had to call of the wild back up.
Dropped this really nice WAR, SHD, PAL face item.
