Avatar of War is extremely difficult and we would encourage you to bring either a Cleric or high DPS class if available!

Dec 26

Talendor
Gorenaire
Plane of Fear (All bosses on the spawn of Cazic-Thule)
Telkorenar (Non-Kos faction with Claws of Veeshan is required for this Raid)

There will be a spawn call for each target on the Project 1999 Discord:
https://discord.gg/p1999
In the 'Green General' Channel.
A minimum of 30 minutes will be offered for mobilization!

Rules
55+ (Please Bring Your Strongest Character!)
You are rolling on loot for the character you bring!
Attendance /who log will be captured at the start of the encounter
Loot will be randomed via a number assigned at the time

We'd like to think the leadership of Castle, Safe Space, Force of Will, Fires of Heaven, Kingdom and Seal Team for making these raids possible

Happy Holidays to all of the Project 1999 community and we look forward to seeing you!

I'm slightly too low to come but great idea

Yay open raids! I'm glad they are happening again on some level. This post gives me hope for the future.

I don't have a 55+ character just yet but I'm hard at work leveling a rogue, so perhaps one day I can join one and contribute meaningfully to a kill. :D

Merry Christmas to all! Let's all bring good tidings and kill the Avatar of War today. As alluded to in the OP, AoW is an extremely difficult fight that requires a copious number of Clerics working together to keep the tank(s) alive. This encounter is all about the Clerics. In preparation for Avatar of War, I thought it would be helpful to post some information for our upcoming battle for those who have not participated in an AoW fight on a Cleric before.

Preparation
  1. Create manual /target <tank> hotkeys for each tank listed in the tank chain (will be announced prior to engaging)
  2. Create an /autoinventory hotkey and keep an open primary inventory slot for the modrods. Make a hotkey for the primary inventory slot as well.
  3. Protection of the Glades, Symbol, Armor of Protection on yourself for modrod HP. Also, obtain a regen before the fight along with Clarity 2 and Gift of Brilliance. You want the largest mana pool possible and a lot of HP to eat mod rods
  4. GINA is useful but not absolutely required. CH Chain will be fast, just be attentive and do nothing but watch the CH chain messages.
  5. Turn down far clip plane and opacity to 0. Turn off all spell effects.
  6. Disable trades in the Options window. This is to avoid errant mod rod trades that will change your target.
  7. Get in a Bard group if you can.

During the Encounter
  • The CH chain time is 1 second or less for the entire fight, no exceptions.
  • The CH order is of the utmost importance, stay calm and be ready to cast CH immediately when your turn comes up. If you are 10th on the chain, you are getting ready to cast when #9 casts. Remember, the very act of pressing a key takes 1/3 of a second.
  • If the person ahead of you misses, cast. Avoid gaps and stalling of the chain at all costs, it's better to be early than late.
  • After each cast, click on a mod rod, then click /autoinventory and then eat your mod rod. It can be difficult to target, so always remember to click your tank macro after consuming each mod rod. If you and all other Clerics can master this pattern, AoW dies.
  • STAY CALM. The best AoW kills are the ones where everyone is calm and focused. If it becomes chaotic when a tank dies, let the chain settle down and get back into the rhythm do your best to stay in order after it starts to settle down.
  • Be ready for Tank swaps. When the raid leader calls for a tank swap, be ready to switch your macro. If the Tank dies, we restart the chain on the next tank.
  • OPTIONAL: Sit cast CH (click sit on the hotbar or your spellbook icon and again once CH is about to land). Only do this if you are 100% comfortable sit casting CH.

Good luck everyone! AoW is the ultimate classic EQ encounter. I hope to see you there!
