Getting to Trakanon

When you zone into Veeshan’s Peak, Speak with Snyr’dok to be sent to the teleporter. Once sent, turn around and click teleporter.

After you are through the teleporter, head up the left side of the stairs on the ledge to get to his platform.

Work your way to the back side of the platform near the protection orb.

*NOTE COH and COT will not work as the platform is an elevator and will get messy if you try to use it.

Rezzes outside of the orb of protection need to be timed with the AOE to prevent knockbacks.

Positioning

Guild Flags are useful to mark areas for raiders to stand if you have them available. If not, well, get good.

Place on flag on the right side of the orb (as you are facing Trak). This will be where the raid stands. Place another flag on the other side of the orb 20m from raid. This is where the Marked will stand. If you place them slightly behind the orb there is no line of site issues.

Once Engaged the MT will go back (almost to the lip of the platform) he will still be protected and that places the raid under the hips of the dragon.

Ensure everyone can see their detriment window. Enlarge the window and put it in middle of screen if necessary to monitor detriments. (This is important).

Killing Trakanon

Pet/hammer pull Trakanon. Once Trakanon starts to come in the MT can engage him and pull him straight back into position

Blockers on pull is a nice option, but it can also be pulled successfully if no blockers are available.

Once Trakanon is engaged. The player with the Chelsith stone will be able to click the orb to energize it. Raiders will want to stand within 14 meters of the orb to be in the area of protection. *NOTE you will get red messages when you are in or out of the protected area.

As long as players stay within the protected area, and in the right position, then wing buffet and Tail lash are not a concern. However if you are outside of the protected area, you will be tossed back and most likely die.

The big key to this fight is the Mark of Repulsion.

Mark of Repulsion-One player will be marked, this player must move 20m from raid to avoid the knockback to the players close to them. When the mark goes off, the player will be hit with static repulsion, a targeted AOE that will knock back all players within 20m of the marked player.

Personal blockers and Wards can prevent death on the person who is marked. The person with the Mark will get hit with Static Repulsion (knocks player up and away from Trakanon -outside the orb of protection). The mark will be timed with Arcane Maelstrom, so that when the marked person is knocked back they are outside of the orb of protection (try to steer self and space bar down during the knock up/back to get back to the orb)

ProTip-Have raiders create a macro to indicate they have the Mark. We recommend the following.

Or you can be vanilla and just say it in voice.

If no one sees the Mark in their detriment window, it could be on a dead player, just make sure to stay away from them.

If everyone is upright, have the last few players who were marked go stand at the other flag as sometimes the mark will not show up, it is irrelevant if they died or not.

Arcane Maelstrom-Massive AOE magic and mana damage unless inside orb of protection (you will probably die)-Hits just after Static Repulsion

Bards and Necros (or a baller crusader) should time running out for rezzing with the AOEs, Wing beat, and Tail lash as they will be outside of the Orb of Protection.

Trakanon has a few other tricks up his sleeves that should be noted.

Prophetic Scrutiny- maintained on one player at all times-when player casts a spell they will be hit with Prophetic Bolt, low damage, and interrupts casting.

Prescient Gaze- on all players at all times- causes all players to mana burn, using health when they use mana. Causes players to have prescient intervention cast on them some of the time when they cast a beneficial spell. This will interrupt the player and cause a 2 sec stun. *NOTE This seems to trigger more in the Lava than on the platform.

Fetid Cloud-disease damage dot, proximity based to Trakanon. (If you have Toxic Tempest on you when Fetid cloud hits, you will take additional poison damage)

Toxic Tempest-poison damage AOE, slows movement

Seer’s Judgement- Poison damage-Cast on players periodically, you need to stop casting or you will die

At the 10min mark or 40% health the platform will descend into lava. The only thing that changes at this point is that you will no longer need to worry about the Mark. Tanks and players should not move around as it will be harder to get back in the protected area. Once the platform descends, swim straight up.

Trakanon will heal with deaths, so it is very important that those marked with Seer’s Judgement stop casting on him. If you have people that like to ignore this, just leave them on the ground.

Continue fighting Trakanon until he is dead.
