Tower 2: Trophies. Need some advice
Posted: Fri Jul 16, 2010 8:25 am
So my guild has been attempting and failing on the Trophies event in the tower for about a month now and it's starting to get frustrating, so I thought I'd post here to see if any advice can be offered. Our general strat:
1 - Melees come in and snag their appropriate weapons right away.
2 - First wave is no problem. Split the adds among multiple tanks (they're on the north side of the platform, opposite the doors where you enter) and have casters assist the MA while groups beat down on their damage-type mobs.
3 - Pull the first trophy to the door (facing the door) and melee and casters beat on him until next add wave spawns.
4 - When next add wave spawns we offtank the trophy and burn down the adds except for one, and then work to finish off the trophy.
Repeat steps 3 and 4.
Our main problem seems to be splitting up the add waves to their respective tanks once they come. It seems like as soon as they spawn they just absolutely clobber a couple of tanks, then we have one or two of those mobs roaming around killing the squishier types. I think it's largely an issue of positioning, but I'm open to other advice on this event as well. We currently place nukers on top of the pedestal where the lightning trophy is, and that seems to keep us out of harms way fairly well.
