Tiamat -strategy talk

Post by Tundrra »

We are still a couple weeks out before a planned guild trip to meet the mother of dragons due to some queue bugs. In the mean time it's been months and months since slot of us have been to this fight so let's break down a good battle plan.

It's been a while but here is what I remember.

We break into 3 groups.
Each group protects one of the NPC Clerics.

Once the dragon heads appear focus the entire raid party on one head until it is at 5% then move on to the next.
Back to clerics
Back to dragons until we kill all the dragons during the same phase.

The only change I remember is the east cleric group used to start fighting the white head while everyone else went to black sometimes simply because of the time lost running to black.

For groups we can probably do 5/5/5 on each cleric and then groups 4 and 5 float between the clerics. That would give a good balance with extras to help as needed at each cleric.

At the very start when there are the 5 people at each platform, It would be important to coordinate getting 5 of each element so we have a good balance of protection when we are going across and killing heads. These 5 platforms could line up with group positioning for the cleric phase. West cleric gets black, west floaters get green, middle get red, east floaters get blue and east cleric get white.

I bet we can take advantage of high vizier/prophet here as well. Take 2 of each and put 1 set in west cleric group and 1 set in east cleric group if we are going 20 black and 5 white. In the event we go 15 black & 10 white or the full 25 black we could put the high sets in the floater groups instead.

My group proposal:
Group 1: west cleric - black relic
1 Tank - pull aggro from cleric
2 Healer - groups anti death
3 CW - help freeze/control adds
4 DPS
5 DPS

Group 2: west floater - green relic
1 High Vizier
2 High Prophet
3 DPS or tank
4 DPS or healer
5 DPS

Group 3: center cleric - red relic
1 Tank - pull aggro from cleric
2 Healer - groups anti death
3 CW - help freeze/control adds
4 DPS
5 DPS

Group 4: east floaters - blue relic
1 High Vizier
2 High Prophet
3 DPS or tank
4 DPS or healer
5 DPS

Group 5: east cleric - white relic
1 Tank - pull aggro from cleric
2 Healer - groups anti death
3 CW - help freeze/control adds
4 DPS
5 DPS

I do like this setup. The chances of us bringing 15 NOR are good and we will have a lot of control over the main strategy by having one of our groups at each post. Bringing 25 NOR is less likely and we will have some PUGs or potential alliance players filling the gaps. So these last 2 groups can be more floater and fluid without impacting the main three groups.

the first time you defeat Tiamat in a week you will receive a “Cache of the Dragon Queen” regardless of hoard contributions. The cache contains a Greater Resonance Stone and a Major Astral Diamonds Voucher.
Also this gives you the items needed for the final couple WoD boons

I will likely start grinding it fairly regularly at least on my main for those boons. At the very least, this is a worthwhile weekly complete for the strongbox we can dump into the coffer.

You are correct. At 15 NOR Power we can pretty much control the success of this fight. Even if only once I would love to get a 100% nor success.

-Purple Resonance Stone
-A M. AD Voucher Worth 20 AD in the coffer (Worth as much as if you donated 20,000 AD for the Stronghold Mimic)
-Linu Favor


Rhetorical question: Where can we NOT use High Prophet/High Vizier?
(Rhetorical Answer: the more people that can make use of a bonus, the more effective the bonus is).

Note: I have been using my High Prophet DC on Tiamat with Legit.
We usually wreck house. Usually.

Biggest issue is going to be getting 25 Guildies.

I'm sure we can easily fill the few extra spaces with Legit channel members:)

I feel silly for having to point this out, but activating the correct stone on the correct Dragon Head works wonders!

Legit is running Tia again, I believe it could be worth investigating.

But the question remains, where are we going to get 25 members of NOR who meet the requirements?
