Hello folks,
thursday Lovela and I don't have any plan, so if you like to do other watcher run, we can join you on this. I am writing it here, because this is only thread I can access, so answer here as well please.
Have you tried yesterday watcher again?
Yesterday we tried Barad Guldur raid and it was awesome! We managed to get to first boss and after two wipes we gave up, because instance reseted. Learned a lot there :-) If future, we can help you on this as well.
Cheers!

Some summary from today run:
Great job folks! We have first two phases on the easy mode now :-) Only last phase need more training :-) Looking forward to next run. Lets do it again soon. Don't know exact date, but will write here when I will know.
Had lots of fun and try to bring more OotN next time, so we are not PUGing rest. Chavesi had fun as well and want to come again :-). If sdf comes next time without connection problems, I will go to OP, so will lead third phase. I just can't focus on watcher and follow tentacles at same time.
I am sorry that Morth, Aliira and others could not come. Try to better plan it next time.
Ciri buy microphone!

No worries mates, you can do nothing with it.
Alright! Another thursday Wacher night! Try to gather army! I hope many will come. We would gladly come. As I said before, I am not enjoying too much PUG on this one. At least we need core duties to be from OotN. That means two hunters with aggro building so Aliira, Sharina, Lachlas, Zaro... One tank on watcher... probably sdf or me if no tanks comes. Then few corruption removals Morth, Sorcie, Devlysh... champ, that is Ciri and Numaa if Zaro is out :-). Burglars here are great, they can stack debuffs on watcher so he can go down really fast. Captains with OB as well... Cang, Anjelik :-)... There is video how they drowned watcher in 4 minutes... burglars can be key here, so Radwise unleash hobbit! FF is not online lately, right? :-) I hope we get enough folks to make full OotN + us run.
I hope we will now get through first two phases without problem and finally finish watcher. All please bring hope tokens, so when you die and get rezzed, you need to use it ASAP.

That is most common tactic and it is same that I am explaining. It sounds difficult when you read it, but it is not. First two phases you can basically ignore, as you all know how to do it now. Focus only on third phase and read it carefully. Anyway, most important thing is to have one person who knows this on voice commands and shout orders.
I saw problem with corruption removal cycles. If we can get warden to do this, nobody else need to focus on corruption anymore. He alone can do it.
Other problem was following RAT and switching targets.
And please, take that walktrough like an advice, it is not rule. Can be done lots of way. For example we did it many times without burglar.

playing around with Yunionienian, a warden could be removing corruptions about every 6-8 seconds, if that was all they were doing. Corruption removal is 3 moves along the sequence that at 5 moves gives them a 10 - 20% (cant remember exactly) damage boost, so its worthwhile using anyway. Its a different move-chain to the DoT/bleeds, or the interrupts, or the self or party heals, or defense buffs. Took Yuni into Carn Dum, did a little wandering on her own when the party stopped for a break, she was quite happy soloing swarms of pale folk, or tanking the swarms of adds at Tarlug. our minstrel was killed halfway through the Mordirith fight, so Yuni took over healing the party as well Chuck Norris wants to be a Warden when he grows up ;D

Yes, warden here can be set to do only corruption removal on the watcher and no need to do anything else and no other class should remove coruption then. his 6-8 sec is more then enough. No interuptions is needed, or healing... not even dps is needed from warden, rest can do that.
Rest can just focus on dps then and some debufing from LMs and burglars and that is it... fast killing tentacacles with good coordination and corruption removal is main key to finish phase 3. Debufs are big bonus on it. that is it :-)
