ok, we finally got around to trying this fight out, took a lot of time to get emote prepared, but.....
when we engaged, absolutely no one saw the emotes mentioned. basically this is what happened:
We engage
No emotes, lots of people get AE'd w/ Plague of Mana
No visible emotes
No visible emotes
No visible emotes
Some people die, nobody clicks anything cause we haven't seen any emotes.
Finally I tell green crystal to click, so he does.
I noticed I got cured, but other people say they still have it on them.
More AE's go off, still no emotes.
etc..etc..etc.
I am a bit confused about whether or not we are supposed to be seeing an emote or not. If not, we are going to alter our strategy to have the raid members (when an AE lands on them), tell /rsay what AE they have, so it can be relayed to clickers. Does this sound right, because all the strats listed above say otherwise.
AE's
Smothering Dismay - Snare/Slow - Blue Crystal - You lose your will to fight.
Curse of the Firstborn - Stat Reduction - Yellow Crystal - A festering darkness saps your strength.
Presence of the Firstborn - Silence - Red Crystal - You are dumbstruck by the presence of the firstborn.
Plague of Mana - 3k Dot - Green Crystal - Your blood is tainted with magical essence.
Mez/Charm AE
Aura of Stone (MEZ) - Red crystal then Blue crystal - Daosheen calls upon the elemental forces to contain his enemies
Runes of Alliance (Charm) Yellow crystal then Green crystal - Allegiances shift as Daosheen speaks a cryptic phrase
DT DoT AE
Doom of the Firstborn - All 4 Crystals (Red then Yellow then Blue then Green) - Your life begins to drain away
