Problem with Visath the Frightened ~ DSK

[keogh]

Ok, so last week my guild made our first attempt at DSK tier 2 and we successfully killed everything except xeru (we haven't made key yet). The visath fight was universally considered boring on that run through, it went approximately as follows...

Tell visath "protect" and mother/father spawned... we waited about 5 minutes wondering if it was broken and orcs finally popped. Killed orcs and waited what seemed like another 5 minutes, mother went active, popped the gargoyles killed them and her and waited another 5+ minutes for father to pop werewolves, another 5 minutes... seemed really drawn out...

Last night we went in later than usual and half our raid force logged for the night but we went to visath anyways, it was a boring fight last week... should be this week. Thing were very different this run and the following attempt was different as well.

First attempt was a little chaotic in that as soon as the word "protect" hit the screen orcs were on us immediately, we killed them and waited on mother. mother went active, we killed everything and waited on father... werewolves popped and halfway through killing them event failure... visath wasn't killed, everything seemed to be following what happened the previous week albeit slower for lack of dps since half our dps logged.

Second attempt went pretty much like the first except we were prepared for instant spawn on orcs and better placement for knockbacks/AE mana drain. Attempt went very very smooth, killed werewolves and staring at father waiting for him to go active and get event failure, no one felt like waiting around for a 3rd attempt.

So, I'm confused... are we running into a bug, is it WAI and we aren't killing as fast as we should? if so why is mother/father standing idle for minutes between waves? was last weeks run the bugged one and this is how it's supposed to be?

Any clarification or insight into what's going on or what we're doing wrong would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm posting this from my phone, so forgive any typo's, but:

The orcs should spawn basically instantly after you start the event. The delay between the adds dying and the mother / father going active is due to the fact that dsk has been out for quite some time; keep in mind that when it was brand new, the people doing the raids were doing a LOT less dps than what is possible today. Since the mother and father go active based off of a time limit rather than being dependent on when the adds are killed, it's normal for there to be a delay (which may be long or short depending on your dps).

As for the failed attempt, visath doesn't necessarily die, but if he gets hit enough times the event will just end.

Hope this helps answer some of your questions!

I can accept failure for mobs slipping through and tagging visath but our second failure was between spawns entirely making it seem like a timer issue yet when we are waiting on mother/father it seems like we are ahead of the timer if we are waiting for the next step.
