Derpclaimer,

I do not claim or feel that I know everything. People want to play their own game for whatever reason right? So, from many mistakes and scrolls I offer what little insight I have about Infinity Shard.


Macro - (/Alert [TargetOfTarget])"Ide Blast coming"

in game- U, New, (select icon), (type in a name), (type in description) then, what you see directly inside ( ) must be exactly as you see it. Case-sensitive. Save, Grats you can make macros now. Look at the Examples tab? Place the macro where you can quickly use it on skill bar.
TEST IT, Select a target that has a target, and test the macro. Or contact me.

2x Healers, Heal spec cleric with 15K hp buffed is fine.
8x DPS 3000MB/2000MA for magical classes, 2000Acc/1000crit I believe for physical classes. 1 of the dps for each group should be able to keep adds from rushin the squishier DPS.
1x Tank Templar w/ 17k hp unbuffed, a shield greatly reduces the damage taken and it is much easier to heal someone that didn't take damage...
1x Ide killer, never did Ide's... ask someone else. Basicly, Auto approach off. Stand on the 2nd floating cliff behinde Hyperion. From this position... 1 ide sould spawn 18m to your right. 1 ide should spawn directly above you. As well as cannon that does not like you. I suggest killing the ides quickly, and kill the cannon just before the next ide spawns. do not rush killing them, this will just flood adds. It is a defense system you're inside... when the system is damaged ppl are sent in to see whats going on..

Once inside, kill the mobs. Usually group 1(w/ hyperion's tank) is facing hyperion, group2 is facing hyperion's butt. At this point, there are only 2 generators and hyperion left standing. Melee will be fighting much closer than ranged units. Hyperion has a 3m AoE on many attacks.. so being 4+m from the tank, and at maximum attack range for your class will greatly reduce your time laying down. Should you find yourself laying down, Use the Self Resurection Stone that you brought to IS.. Perhaps using the Divine HP/MP potions you also brought would have prevented nap time, and may prevent nap time in the near future. thats distance for Melee units. Distance for Ranged/Cleric is simple. There is a rock about 15m up the ramp from the ide generatorr. Every Ranged unit "stacks" at that position. Should 1 of the ranged units become the target of hyperion's mana draining QQ ide blast of Doom. There is a safe corner to go hide in away from adds that MAY BE COMMING DOWN THE RAMP... So go to the corner or atleast 8m away from your cleric to not drain their mana.. Should a melee be target with said ide blast, quickly back up to the wall. Other melee units should get away if they can. AetherTechs that saved their null trigger for ide blast will feel nothing... but they can get everyone around them dead if they just stand there even though they are safe themself...
Do Not Stay In The Corner. Mages/Sorceress adds will spawn, you will pull agro from either healing servant or any spell you cast. You will get hit for rought 20k from magic smash as you will later see if you check your combat log.
While the rest of the group on both sides remains behind the 15m rock.. 1 person should go up and attack the adds to lure them down. This way if someone is targeted by hyperion he won't reset after he chases them up the ramp. Once he starts moving to a target, the tank Cannon stop the reset... it can only be prevented. I suggest killing the hands if it is taking too long for the other adds to come begging for death.

So inbetween ide blasts, you've been DPSing hyperion while Adds are not up. While adds were up they were killed in order, Mage/sorc , Medic , Assassin/Scout , Combatant. Someone on Group1 marking w/ 1,2,3 as well as someone on Group2 marking w/ 4,5,6 made things much easier. Clearing the adds before they cleared you allowed you to either deal the 13m dps needed to kill hyperion hopefully. If you need to check your groups Dmg, the instance will do this for you. If you do not wipe from adds, and the ide's don't fully charge, but hyperion left you only with an Ide Pool dealing roughly 40k dps to everyone. You need more DPS. If you wiped before this happened, you need to do something different. Since you didn't run out of time, perhaps killing the adds to get more time to do more dps may help you? WoD can be used, CAN BE USED, to kill 12 targets... saving it till the end for only hyperion never made sense to me.. Acquital + WoD when you see double adds comming down the ramp, can actually keep people alive while making many adds dead. Hit as many targets as possiable with WoD, if you screamed at the screen because you see a bunch of adds.... WoD, Perhaps even use Amplification prior to WoD, as well as switching weapons to your staff for higher MA/MB for a quick cast then back to the safety of your HP shield/mace.

Again, Arm isn't needed to see why you failed. If you ran over 20minutes without dealing the 13m dps required on hyperion. Gj killing all those adds.. do it faster next time for a cookie
If arm is used, please show DPS of ONLY hyperion, and TOTAL DPS after the generators went down. People with little to no difference in these numbers need to focus on killing adds before their team mates are killed. Atleast resurecting so the cleric can continue to heal those who aren't dead yet.

While this isn't a full guide, it should clear up in-game user-related issues that have resulted in IS not giving you loot.

I offer these humble suggestions for those who would like them.
