High Priestess Arlokk the Panther Aspect.

This is in theory a simple task. (although hard to complete)

Have everyone stand by the Gong. The main tank should place himself in the middle of the room, and 1 offtank should be placed on each side close to the hay lying in the east and west side.

When you use the gong, the Arlokk will spawn in the back of the room, and run directly towards the party. The maintank intercepts her, and starts DPSing her. After a VERY short time ALL melee and damage-casters should start doing DPS on her.

By the hay panthers will start spawning. They should be picked up by the offtanks. These panthers will spawn constantly. They do not do a lot of damage, but eventually there will be loads of them. Keep the off-tanking warriors inside the panther spawning point, while keeping all casters close to the gong. This way they will stay with the tank and not aggro anyone, including the marked person. Do not use the AE advice above as the panthers will stay with the offtanks even when you heal them through the whole fight


After 10-15 seconds Arlokk will mark a random player in the party and all the panthers will now attack this person. Have as much healing going on this person as possible.

After a few minutes Arlokk will stealth, leaving you with the panthers. Use this time to AE/single kill as many as possible.
When she reenters visibility the maintank should gain aggro as fast as possible, and DPS should follow pretty fast. The panthers will now spawn twice as fast.
She will, if not killed, enter stealth once each 2-3 minutes, and each time the spawn rate on the panthers will rise.

So this fight is about healing and DPS. When she is low on HP, have the warriors fear the panthers once in a while, taking the heat off the healers.




I think if we have everyone at the gong, it may drop aggro and make it easier to have the offtanks pickup the kittys as they come out of the pens, also it's going to let our preists have LOS on the off tanks which will let them help with healing if needed.

One thing Uda and I discussed is not really worrying too much about the panthers and just dumping DPS on the boss.  Having priests healing the off tanks will allow our shaman/druid offtank healers to focus dps on the boss.  Cause like the strat says, the more she disappears the faster the panthers spawn.
