Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

I know it would only be used by a limited number of players, but any chance of a dbm for the final boss encounter in the Nexus?
I notice one is included for Volcanus in Firelands later on in the quest chain, but the Nexus boss is incredibly difficult to solo and dbm would be enormous help to us poor clothies.
Here's hoping :)

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

This is the correct spot, 'copying' it into the general section does not make you get a reply faster ;) (maybe it does, but it does also annoy me/us :p)

I think the main reason why there is no support for this is because we simply don't have logs from it.

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

yeah i woudln't mind supporting this, i did volcanus because i had logs for it. Not sure where i'd stick it though, firelands mods or maybe cata party mods (whch are already quite crowded so probalby not). I'd probably stick it in firelands mods, since it's a unique nexus mapid it woudln't have to load doing wrath 5 mans normally.

if i got logs though i'd really want transcriptor logs using latest version that doesn't have broken UNIT recording to make sure i can use as little localized text as possible.

Which fights needs to be logged for this?

Unfortunately, as I'm a druid, Thyrinar does not cast [link=http://www.wowhead.com/spell=99392]Twilight Restoration[/link].. :(

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

isn't there more then one boss? or no? also since i can't pull the boss to debug or figure out what's actually needed, what actually needs warnings/timers and what not?

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

There is one mini-boss called [link=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=53614]Ceredos[/link], but he doesn't really do anything interresting..

As I see it, the important stuff when fighting Thyrinar is:
- Timer for add [link=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=53486]Twilight Invader[/link] spawn
- Timer for when he casts [link=http://www.wowhead.com/spell=99384]Searing Breath[/link], and maybe the duration, once it's active.
- Timer for [link=http://www.wowhead.com/spell=99392]Twilight Restoration[/link] (not really possible with these logs), with a warning to purge/dispel/spell-steal the buff and/or interrupt the cast (should be possible, based on SpellID)..
- Low Health (<50%) warning.. Self-healing is very important..

Regarding Trash:
[link=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=53484]Icebound Sentinels[/link] casts [link=http://www.wowhead.com/spell=99813]Return Fire[/link] from time to time. Might be nice with a warning (so you don't cast while it's up), but it's no big problem..

Quoted from ""FuxieDK""

As I see it, the important stuff when fighting Thyrinar is:
- Timer for add [link=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=53486]Twilight Invader[/link] spawn


Timer is hard to make, there seems to be a slight variation in the spawning time and no events related to them spawning. This will probably give bad timers :(
Seems the first one spawns ~50secs after combatstart and then every 35secs (based on PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED events) As far as I can see in videos they arent added to the "bossframes" so cannot scan for that either


Also Twilight Restoration doesn't show up in the combatlog and neither in transriptor, so it's drycoded based on the spell ID you gave :p

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

I'm a druid, and thus Twilight Resto isn't cast at all, that's why you don't see it.. It's used for priests, mages, locks and shaman.

Most times, I detonate 'shrooms on the add, BEFORE I switch target.. If I remembered to place them, that is.. That might yield some different spawn-time. However, add can easily have been up for 3-4 sec before they reach the 'shrooms.. But some adds, wasn't even blown, because I was busy healing myself (which I did ALOT), as damage intake is quite high..

Tarecgosa emotes about breath, the first time, and then only sporadically after that.. Maybe every 5th time or so.. Didn't see any pattern..

Hope this helps a bit..

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

BTW, how do you handle "combat begins"?

I can't make it out from the LUA, except for something with a Root, or what??

Source code

11/27 01:28:13.150  Tarecgosa says: At last, we have arrived!
This is when running up the ramp. Now you pass point of no return.. "Combat Starts" timer for 13,5 sec (if my math is corect) would be good here.
This is an exellent time to pre-HoT for priests/druids/shaman, as it will give you a few good solid nuke-boss seconds..

Source code

11/27 01:28:26.597  Thyrinar yells: You pose no threat, lesser beings! Give me your worst!

Thyrinar becomes attackable (before that, "invalid target")

Is the Twilight Prison, the Root in "OnCombatStart"?
Anyway, this is the point where combat begins.

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

Right now it's based on combat-start event (I think in this case it would be COMBAT_REGEN_DISABLED event)

The roots line was a bad copy-paste leftover that shouldnt be there :)

Re: Legendary Staff Quest - Nexus Boss

OK.. I was simply wondering, because Thyrinar roots Teracgosa with Twilight Prison.. ;-)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, while I can still remember the fight..
