Woohoo! We fought our second round against Chief Paroxymus on 6/23/07, and this battle went much smoother than our first, one week ago. Even so, there were lots of lessons learned, which I was able to glean from our illustrious leader in a post-hunt interview.So here they are, in no particular order....
Establish the crossing order for the river of acid before people start darting across.... Cross the river of acid one person at a time, and only after the gate has closed again after the previous crosser.... First person across needs to honor Paroxymus..... healer needs to remain stationary near the gate, while all other party members work to keep Paroxymus away from the healer..... Rezzes need to take priority over cures, since everyone pretty much stays poisoned all the time..... need more cross healing.... people need to use the central pillar as a shield more - keeping it between Paroxymus and themselves.
Oh, and on the way in.... (1) Don't forget your rope or your 5000 GP, (2) Don't stop to fight anything. (3) Don't bother invising every few steps. (4) Don't get lost (follow the river of acid and/or stay with the other party members). (5) Don't drag spawn to the key-drop area. (6) If spawn does get into the key-drop area, don't bother trying to kill it all, just drag it away and leave it somewhere where it won't come back.
Any more suggestions or lessons learned? Leave your comments here!
