Ok maybe my guild was getting a bit cocky after our easy first-time take down's of Vindi, Guardian of the Seal, and the Ssra Rhag's, but from everything we had read, the Manetic Prototype's in POI did not sound that difficult. So we mobilized most of our small guild and had 16 PC's, avg lvl 61, and tried to take them out.

Three wipes later, we cannot figure out the stategy for making this work. Each time we l cleared and engaged no problem, but the banishing caused all sorts of problems with aggro bounce, aggro lock, OOR for heals, and adds, all resulting in premature loss of HP's. So whats the trick?

We engeged Proto IX first and got bounced to Proto X, we then engaged Proto X and got bounced the other way. We didn't try both at once, is that what we do? we read a suggestion that the MT gets bounced at 50% health, so we spammed spots and he never dropped below 80, but still he was banished.

Any help is appreciated.

The manaetic prototypes are a worth looking at but you might still be a bit short of numbers with just 16 level 61 characters. I can't remember how hard they were exactly. It's quite a race to down them quickly before your tanks all vanish but still keep aggro under control.

When your tank is banished they're essentially gone from the fight so just line up tank number two and hope aggro is controlled. Healing a banished tank brings in the adds. The prototypes are very messy so expect quite a few deaths each time.

Thanks so much, so its just a race. Our DPS has to be high enought that we don't run out of tanks. Truley our DPS sucked last nigh, we only had a couple of rangers and a Monk. Our rogues, necros, and beasties were missing.

I was hoping there was a trick to the banishing or somehting.

Been ages since ive really raided much but if I remember right there was a order you could take them in so at least the next one would be easier.

Yeah, you kill them in reverse banishment order so that on the second and third ones they dont banish you to a room with another prototype in it.
