LDoN Raid -- Takish

[Soriis]

I'm wondering if anybody can provide some tactical assistance for the Takish raid. We've just started dabbling in LDoN raids as an alternative solution when nothing is up.
We were able to clear the dungeon fairly easily, and proceeded to one of the "Guides". Nothing happened. We then came to the conclusion that we would have to break up into 3 groups of 12, one for each guide. When we did this, each room spawned about 6-9 level 65 mobs that were quadding for 960. These guys were immune to mez and quickly turned us all into ground beef.

Any advice on how to handle this without turning into a giant clusterf#$k?

We have tried this one acouple times(on normal setting-the VTish lv one).  you dont need to break the raid up,  the elementals will stop when there are any npcs infront of them(trees included). So you can run the whole raid through then double back and go down t he other paths.
   The problem we run into is that there apear to be traps that spawn 6-12  bugs that hit for about 350ish.  They stack up on each other making anyform of offtanking extreemly dificult, and they have been pretty magic resistant so AE method needs several chanters.  and the low health agro on these are unreal.   To me it looks like they decided to make the bug traps the hardest part about the dungeon, we have hit the death limit on both trys so far.

ae'ing the bugs hasnt been a problem for us. usually one of the enchanters leads off with AE Tash and were good to go.

What were considering doing is having 2 monks go to the other 2 elementals and FD'ing in front of them. Just wondering if this will work or not. They diddnt spawn anything untill we had moved people in front of each one of them.

BTW, if you're having trouble with ae'ing, we use a rogue and 1-2 monks to pull. Rogue sets off the traps and the monk splits them into smaller groups.

when we went in all the mobs were up, the elemenals dont seem to spawn anything for us.  they also dont move past the door of a room with any mobs in them, they just seemed to wait for us to kill things in front of them

[Soriis]

Ok, so then we should be able to do each of the elemental events one at a time, without having to do any raid splitting or FD tricks at the other two?

[Strigori]

yeah, you can do one elemental at a time. we have managed to get one to the end and got close on a second before we hit death limit.  when one gets to the end its stops and says something about needing the others to their spots
