hive queen strat

[robie]

i checked the site to make sure if anyone had this but couldnt find it but here goes the strat on the hive queen.
STAGE 1

Wave 1
a venomous drone --- UNMEZZABLE

a venomous drone goes on a RAMPAGE!
a venomous drone has become ENRAGED.

an enchanted drone --- UNMEZZABLE

an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Boltran`s Agacerie>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Colored Chaos>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Dementing Visions>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Gravity Flux>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Greater Fetter>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Recant Magic>
an enchanted drone begins to cast a spell. <Wind of Tashanian>

a warded drone ----- MEZZABLE

a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Domunus Effect>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Draught of Fire>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Draught of Ice>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Elnerick's Entombment of Ice>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Ice Block>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Invert Gravity>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Sunstrike>
a warded drone begins to cast a spell. <Telaka>


I personally would kill in the following order.

an enchanted drone --- UNMEZZABLE
Casters suck and they Mezz which causes mobs to run around without
being
tanked as they just mezzed there tank.
a venomous drone --- UNMEZZABLE
They rampage so what.
a warded drone ----- MEZZABLE
Keep mezzed.

Wave 2

a royal defender --- UNMEZZABLE


a royal guardian --- UNMEZZABLE


a drachnid adept --- UNMEZZABLE


a drachnid handmaiden --- MEZZABLE


a devoted acolyte --- MEZZABLE


I would kill in order listed.

Wave 3.

1 a risen ancient = 2 a vengeful ancient
a vengeful ancient = 3 an enraged ancient

What seemed to work best for us was to OT the a risen ancient and kill
them
in order of 1 a risen ancient, 2 a vengeful ancient, 3 an enraged
ancient
rinse and repeat.

Once all the a risen ancient spiders are spawned the queen starts to AE
a
12K nuke. With spell shielding you can get it down to just over 10K.
Always
know where the queen is and don't be stupid and die. When fighting a
mob, if
queen comes near run and train it to new location. Not dieing if
greater
than staying with a trash mob.

It is very important to assist the main assist and not randomly assist
who
ever you feel like or dot every mob being tanked. If an mob dies out of
order or when it is not expected due to anyone dotting mobs they should
not
have or attacking anything that is not the MA's target it can cause a
wipe.

Due to the 6K ae rezzing needs to happen after the death of a vengeful
ancient while the raid is killing the next 3 an enraged ancient. This
will
prevent the newly rezzed from chain dieing after being rezzed due to
the 6K
AE.

a risen ancient --- UNMEZZABLE

Does NOT SUMMON. Can be kitted as long as your not snared. Best thing
here
is to kite with tank to help with mana on healing once agro is set.



a vengeful ancient --- MEZZABLE

Upon death casts 6K AE DD.


an enraged ancient --- MEZZABLE



STAGE2

Part1

Engage Sendaii, the Hive Queen and pin her in the N/E part of the zone
in
the honey comb.

Pinning her here allows you major advantages.
--First - you can use push and PTA to possition her to avoide the
directional AE by placing what ever side she is going to cast out of
against
the wall.
--Second - By not having her walk all over the zone you don't loss the
melee
out of range DPS.
--Third - When the baby spiders spawn at 25% you can have a pig pile
and pop
AE heals and AE the adds without people dieing all over the zone.

Part 2

Sendaii, the Hive Queen splits in 4 at 75%

Need to find the real Sendaii, the Hive Queen and kill her down to 50%.
--If you kill a fake it will split.
--killing the real Sendaii, the Hive Queen will despawn the 3 fakes.

Particle effect is how you find the real Sendaii, the Hive Queen. Group
and
npc particles must be on to see the particle effect she will let off as
she
casts. It almost looks like a aura and shows right before she cast on
us for
a very brief moment.

Part 3

At 25% little spiders spawn and need to be CC'd. Some are stunnable and
some
are mezzable. With enough enchanters all pig piled together chain
casting
(Circle of Dreams, Color line of stuns) provided the Circle of Dreams
is
casted on a rotation by the enchanters we should be golden.


POP ALL OFFENSIVE DISC's here and burn the queen.

That 6K AE severly lowered out DPS by keeping the casters
dead.

Things we know about the Queen and her fakes.
1. Real queen is slightly bigger than the others.
2. a false queen casts <Dominion of Force>
3. Real queen casts directiontional Ae

with this said i was hoping this would help me keep my access to the eq strategys and cheats since my subscription about to run out . ill give any other strats as they come. thanks

 

[Druid007]

not a bad start, missed some stuff i feel is important though, so ill add my bit here.

at start get tanks to make 2 hotkeys.

/tar a_venomous_drone00 (goes up to 03 i think)

as these are the highest dps mobs in wave 1 so need a tank on them

and

/tar a_royal_defender00

same deal as before, this enables mobs to be picked up faster, you can even go as far as to make hotkeys for all the mobs that spawn if you want utter control.

Real queen - has shit loads more hp, so easy to tell for those not lucky enough to be able to use particle effects on raids.

Queen sendaii can charm tanks, fake and real can... so make sure you have back up tanks.

instead of ccing the 25% adds.. druids, mages, wizzies ae nuke (they have low hp) and chanters ae mezz and stun. pop ae heals.

nice strat though

 

[robie]

yah i put all the major points hehe, thanks

 

[robie]

If anyone has any questions u can just post them here or add ons ill answer them when i can

 

[Cyrus_doober]

Anyone got some more info on how to control wave 2? They snare alot and we tend to lose quite a few when they spawn which hurts our dps which leads to wave 3 spawning before 2 is done.

On wave 3 do you kite or tank? Im thinking maybe kill 3 of them and mez the 6 splits and tank the other 3. Is there a more effective way ?

Any tips would be appreciated. :P

 

[plink]

Few questions for ya Robie. I've already beat this encounter but still like to see how others do it :P Nice strat though.

Stage 1:
On Wave 1, you do kill the warded mobs, after the unmezzables are dead, right? If not, you're missing out on 10k mana and creating yourself a lot more trouble than is needed.

The same thing also goes for Wave 2 mezzable mobs.

R = Risen
V = Vengeful
E = Enraged

On Wave 3, ya'll kill 3 R, mez 5 V, and kill the 6th V, kill it's E spawns, then kill another V cycle I would assume. My question is after killing 2 V cycles, do you kill another R or do you keep killing the V until you have all of them dead?
And instead of offtanking the 3 R that are still alive, why don't ya'll let knights agro them, debuff them, and then just keep them blinded using a Bioluminescent Orb so they aren't doing damage to anyone which makes you save mana not having to heal the OTs?

Stage 2:
Just adding a couple things to what robie said...
Before the Queen splits, use that time to rez/buff/med up if you need and then kill her down to the splits. After she splits, get her back into 1 mob ASAP 'cause then you can rez/buff/med up again if you need. When she begins spawning the adds, do like Druid007 said and have the enc pbae stun/mez while anyone who is able to AE does so. Also be sure to have everyone in a tight little area so all the mobs get stunned or mezzed by the enc.

[Cyrus_doober]

So you telling me blind actually works for Wave 3? Wow I was actually wondering if it worked for any of this event. However still need any tips you have on controlling wave 2.

 

[plink]

Yes Cyrus, blind works on Wave 3.

We have more than 1 camp set up for Waves 1 and 2. Wave 1 we have 3 camps and Wave 2 we have 2 camps so all the mobs aren't in 1 place making it a little easier to control.

On Wave 2, mez the mobs you can then kill the defenders and guardians first then the adepts. Make sure all the unmezzable mobs are dead before you start killing off the mezzable ones.

[TeachersPet]

Robie, to determine a fake queen since you say she's slightly bigger, have you tried making a plugin to tell you the NPC's size to compare to the other two?

 

[botsalot]

one of the 4 queens is lighter in color rather easy to tell

 

[venenzi]

Queen is easy to find. Just before the split, hit esc to clear your target and run to the center of the room. Real queen is the only one that aoe's. As soon as it hits you, your target will be real queen. Easy.

 

[Killuh]

Any info on how hard Queen hits?

 

[Druid007]

max 5k on an un def tank.. so pretty weak really. Attack is low, so misses a lot as well.

 

[robie]

ya shes gimp hehe
