Welcome,
My name is Abuse, a former lancer turned warrior tank/dps which is going to try and give you everything you need for the next patch, dungeon-wise.
I did not participate in any of the action, I simply looked hard enough and watched every animation, indication, and player in the group, in order to know what should you do and when, I do not take any credit for filming the original videos the GIF's are taken from, I do take credit for putting all of this together, so I would appreciate a kind thank you ^_^.
The guide I will be posting today, will be the guide for "Bathysmal Rise", a new instance that will be coming in the upcoming expansion "Fate of Arun", its detailed, as far as youtube allowed me to, I did skip normal monsters fights, since its mostly tank & spank.
*Some gifs are converted into "gifv" automatically and can't be displayed on this forum, there is a link attached to the gif.*
Bathysmal Rise
1st boss: Turtle
-special mechanics:
1) Shell Artillery -
Indication: Boss goes inside his shell, and marks 2 circles on the ground.
What would happen: after a few seconds boss AOE's between the circles, Poison Artillery.
What to do: avoid being in those circles.
2) Poison Cave -
Indication: Boss will AOE a corner left to the entrance (rocks are stockpiled on the wall and enters the arena).
What would happen: A poison like smoke (greenish) will be there, if not handled in time, the whole arena would be poisoned for a second, IT IS Cleansable.
What to do: a dps, or a healer (in the videos, its a healer) goes to the hole and closes it, if he missed a window,
its still doable after cleansing everybody. (window = chance to close it before it explodes on the arena).
