Stuck on Xegony, ideas please?

Seems that  a lot of guilds are doing these encounters first time now, D'Pikeys on my server went from being a successful if somewhat midguild to rampaging through time all the way on their first attempt. This was after having defeated most of the EP gods in a short space of time, mergers+levels+better strats seem to make planar progression easier though still worthy of praise.

As for miss titty-taunt (Xegony), the length of the fight meant greater chances for the cleric cycle to either run oom or fall apart, MGB paragons and spot paragons on a cycle (usually 2-3 beasties doing it once every 5 mins or sooner if it gets nasty) then returning to the pendulum add spawns. Was never a huge fan of this encounter though its not nearly as big a headache as the rathe council proved to be :-o

Hopefully you'll be able to crack this one and be running around with a spanky new hand to hand weapon in the near future and a shinai of the ancients shortly after, good luck!

Alot of the bosses now are more easily done since there is better equipment that can be aquired from groupable mobs in oow.  Before Oow release a buffed 11-12k tank was considered godily now a 11-12 tank buffed is average or below average.  I sat down and figured it out a guild with money resource can BUY gear to make a 12k tank UNBUFFED that is with the proper aas of course but look at that around 200-250 aas you got a raid ready tank.  Before Oow this was not event possible and since it is much more easy to equip your characters now you can do these bosses with out endless number of hour farming mold droppers.
