The Carprin Cycle is Solved by GoB

The Carprin Cycle is a sequence of 6 mobs that get 36 flags for the raid if you succeed. Getting flagged here allows you to enter the basement of CoD and participate in the Bertox script. Bertox is a biggie for progressing in PoP. This is pretty hard, we test drove it about 2-3 weeks ago, killed the first guy relatively easy and then got *smoked* on the second guy. Here is a run down of the event (from The Safehouse website):

Carprin Deatharn
-- Hits for 1200ish
-- Not rooted
-- Procs 3500 HP lifetap
-- Unslowable
-- Has 3 mini-named that spawn when he is agroed. Should off tank Carprin and kill all 3 then kill Him
-- If you kill him without first killing his babies (and you must agro all at once or they repop) he seems to take alot longer to kill than if you kill babies first
-- On his death Avhi Escron spawns in the next room

Avhi Escron
-- Hits for 1600ish
-- Rampages
-- Unslowable
-- Rooted
-- Any time anyone (pet or player) dies or FDs 4 skeles spawn
-- On his death Bishop Toluwon spawns in the next room

Bishop Toluwon
-- Really easy, lived maybe 50 seconds.
-- Rooted
-- On his death Raex Pwodill, Vindor Mawnil, and High Priest Ultor Szanvon (untargettable) spawn in the same room

Raex Pwodill
-- Hits for 1600ish
-- Rampages
-- Unslowable
-- Procs 5000 lifetap
-- Is not rooted

Vindor Mawnil
-- Hits for 1200ish
-- Flurries
-- Slowable
-- Procs 5000 lifetap
-- Is not rooted

High Priest Ultor Szanvon
-- Becomes targettable on Vindor and Raex's death
-- Rooted

On our second try, we had the right mix of people and focus and with the exception of the unrooted mobs near the end, it was a near flawless execution. Bianca and I were lucky enough to *just* qualify for a flag (going from the top down in levels). We are going to need to do this event several times, 36 people not being anywhere near enough for Bertox. It was a fun fight and each boss drops one peice of (droppable) decent loot. Nothing worth farming, but a nice reward considering you need to do this a bunch to get all the folks flagged.
