Greetings all. Here's a quick breakdown of our Veteran Stormtalon's Lair:
For this run in order to achieve silver, you will need:
1) complete the run in 40 minutes
2) complete all optionals
For gold, same requirements as silver but also no deaths and complete all challenges.
completing all optionals but not making the time limit gets you bronze.
So here's our vid covering the first half (15:00)
First off you want to set up an interrupt order, this is very important. The more moments of opportunity you can get on mobs and bosses the faster things will go. For Stormtalon's Lair it appears that bosses have anywhere from 4 to 2 interrupt armor, and mobs from 2 to 1. Mini-bosses also have 4 or less interrupt armor.
As you can see here we have around 7-8 in our group total. DoctorWily has two, with shock taking off two shields and blind.
@ 0:13 Wily gets threat on the shaman and warrior with him and then goes to grab the falconer.
Here we are interrupting the healing from shaman, the big aoe from the warrior and the falconer when we can. Basically anyone next in the rotation for ccs goes next to make the next moment of opportunity happen
@2:17 we're dragging back the adds and doing more interrupts, to get ready to pull the boss
@3:47 we pull the first boss, can't get the first interrupt but we're calling that out, basically sticking close for high medic heals as well, there is no need to really spread.
@4:35 you want to drop the lightning on the adds, it is not optional on vet. Keep doing it as well as it moment of opportunities them and does double damage
@4:55 you're gonna hear some good advice from Naz that you should take in all dungeons going forward. You will want to sprint more in vets rather than evade roll for numerous reasons, one of which he states here
At the end we're rotating our interrupts and getting as many interrupts as possible.
@7:50 for the optionals we're using Pell Bombs as much as possible even while in combat, doesn't show up until they are dead.
@8:48 we don't need cages and we got breeze binder: this is arguably the best combination you can get, because you don't have to go up top to fight, we have a stalker so we stealth him up there for the necessary totems, breeze binder is arguably easier than the other mini boss, and we can hug the right wall, less mobs to deal with and get right to aetheros
The other good thing about having a stalker is you can stealth for the graveyard too, although you shoudl aim not to wipe in ST to make the time
@10:30 this is what you need to interrupt on an elemental wind, its fast but again moments of opportunity
@11:54 so we're staying right Rosh, our stalker, is going up for the graveyard and we're pushing to aetheros. while we're doing all this we have other gathering things left and right need for optionals, plants etc.
In this next vid we're pulling Aetheros, brief explanation is given on what we're going to do here @ the start of the vid -
@1:00 place lighting from the adds on the sides of the room, they snare so you want those out of the way when you have to run.
@1:15 manage your endurance for your sprinting, and don't forget to evade if you need to, but you want to get down the tunnel as quickly as possible remove his four armors and interrupt. Again no need to spread, and this should be done quickly.
@4:02 Boss is down and we're pulling again, again everything to the right we can leave up things on the left
@7:07 we clear up everything down the hall and up to the right to breeze binder which we pull - make sure to interrupt gust convergence and kite the winds in the cleared space and its easy.
@8:18 we go up the walls where we kill breeze binder, and do some fancy jumping, this will bypass all the other mobs up until storm talon if you follow this path exactly
@9:30 we pull Stormtalon: every 5 stacks he will do the static wave, at 90% he will do the classic knock back, break out and zig zig to get to him, or run in a half circle. Break outs work for taking out the disorient on the eye as well. Tanks will need to do a good deal of kiting here as well. 27 minutes later we have our kill.
