I ran Halatali no problem. Fun dungeon, good concept (arena style), easy enemies, good loot and tomes. My kind of map.
Haven't tried Brayflox yet.
Started lost city of Amdapoor last night right before I realized that in one hour would be emergency maintenance. 1st and second bosses were easy (I am still thrilled that those give myth tomes!) and the last boss Diabolos I think I figured out, but none of my teammates from duty finder knew really what was going on, so we wiped about 5 times before having to give up due to the maintenance.
My understanding is that you pay very close attention when entering the room to check for two doors with matching symbols (I have heard the healer does this, or that each member of the party is responsible for a symbol). One symbol is selected to be first. About 5 seconds after the start, the symbols will disappear and the doors close. One member of the team should open one of the doors that previosuly had the chosen first symbol at this time. Then the ranged dps or a healer should move over by the corresponding closed door that had the same symbol as the one now open. Diabolos will stop at around 60% and cast an Omen type attack that has a slow cast bar. When this cast bar hits 50%, the ranged DPS or heals should open that second door and it will pull everyone in and under the map, evading his big attack. At this time you should be paying attention to the doors, which should have symbols again while you travel under the map, but will lose these symbols really soon after you surface. The next set of symbols should be chosen at this time. One person should again open one of the doors for that symbol and stand next to the closed 2nd door that also had that symbol. When Diabolos gets down a bit more he will cast the Omen again, and then you open that 2nd door, get pulled under, rinse and repeat. Maybe I'll get this thing beat tonight.
You can select and mark all 3 pairs you will need right at the start before the symbols fade away.
-The main DD can mark the pair of Blue doors with 1-2, and the pair of Red doors with 3-4.
-Have the healer look for the two matching green doors and mark them with
shapes.
Now you are all set, and a single ranged DD can handle it from there. Pre-open one door of each pair while fighting and go stand by the second door in the pair. When the boss casts
Ruinous Omen, not right away, but
around 70% on the cast bar, click the second door. You will be teleporting thru the door and avoid the blast.
Repeat for the 3-4 pair and the pair marked with shapes. If you DD is fast enough you will only have 2 pairs to worry about!
(With all that said, my favorite new fight is the Goblin Bomb Machine in Brayflox!!)
