Manifestation of the Elements.

This encounter is very cool. But as a guild trying to progress in the game, its proving to be a headache, several times lag from the adds spawning has made the encounter unplayable with 15k+ pings across the board while the zone itself continues to run at a normal rate, killing the tank, etc. The worst part about this encounter, is that if you fail, you can not retry it for several hours, and, if the zones or server crashes or get rebooted, the Manis depop and stay that way till they spawn again (7 days or however long).

I would like to get the respawn on Taeshlin lowered, or changed in a way that it can be repeated sooner than the few hour respawn on him. Ruin has never had a second shot at Manis once we wipe, because its not fun waiting around for Taeshlin to respawn, or if we see if they are up the next day, they are not, as the server or zone seems to get crash or get rebooted daily (or they depop on their own, but i'm told they do not). An alternative to shortening the Taeshlin respawn would be to have the manis not depop after a failure and reboot.

Not trying to be a dick here, but numerous times I've seen Ruin have 40+ in the zone, which is probably the root of your problem with lag.

Until this is fixed ( which it may not be ), I would suggest doing them with 30 or lower, it's easily doable with the gear that Ruin has-

As far as the taeshlin respawn and manis depopping if they've been activated once and the server goes down, I'm not sure if there is a fix, Zod tried making it so the encounter wasn't blowable, but I'm not sure it's entirely possible.

The last attempt we tried with 30 people in the zone, and we still got a decent amount of lag to cause confusion, but we did do much better than most attempts.
