VETS' Annihilation

This is the most relaxed, accessible, role, but no less important! Half way through the fight (and several times thereafter), several mobs will spawn and begin healing the boss. It is important for these to be quickly killed as they reverse the party’s progress.

These mobs do not have much health (100kdps is sufficient to reliably kill them), but they spawn in inconvenient places. Having reliable mobility is integral to be able to reach these mobs (especially considering that movement during Anni is laggy!).

Half way through the fight (and sometimes a few times thereafter), a giant floating orb spawns and hovers 10 blocks above the ground. It grows over about 10 seconds, and if it isn’t killed by then, it explodes, killing everyone. Despite lacking health health, this mob needs to be killed fast, thus neccessiating about 200kdps.

It is this role’s job to kill the orb whenever it spawns. When not killing a sun (this role’s first and only priority), sunkillers are also tasked with general crowd control (i.e. killing other random mobs that spawn as to protect the primary and healer).

Standing behind a tank and fueled by a healer, the player in this role has one job: dealing consistent and continuous damage to the boss itself. There are other elements of the boss fight: those other elements are only of concern to other roles.

Since this role’s sole job is to damage the boss itself, this role works best with extremely high dps builds. Given its importance, we usually assign this role to experienced players, often using meta builds.

Only a few players need to stand close to Anni: the healer’s job is to keep those players alive. Standing behind the tank, the healer is responsible for consistently healing (and sometimes overhealthing) those around them. Like primary/secondary, this role never needs to leave the vicinity of the core (except for sigils).

Healing is this role’s priority, but sometimes (especially if the party there are multiple healers and other roles have died), the healer can also do some crowd control.

This role stands in the boss’ face, directly in front of the portal, and absorbs all of Anni’s direct damage. Nobody should ever be in front of the tank, nor should the tank retreat for any reason.

With the tank constantly absorbing all the boss’ damage, the core can fulfil their other responsibilities in relative safety.

Your task is to kill this mob:

It can spawn in 3 spots:

When not killing that mob, try to survive

Best places to survive are anywhere other than these two spots (red = frequent meteors, blue = never stand in front of a tank)

If you see this thing forming below you, run!

Your task is to kill this big floating orb:

It spawns above the core spot, where you will be standing.

If you are not currently killing a sun, take out nearby mobs threatening the core area.

In particular, if you see these things floating around you, kill them

If you see this thing forming below you, run, but get back to the core spot quickly once it is gone!

Unless your party is falling apart, do not bother killing mobs outside the core area!

You will be standing in the core area.

Your only job is to unload into the boss.

If you see this thing forming below you, run, but get back to the core spot quickly once it is gone!

Unless your party has collapsed, do not bother doing anything other than damaging anni!

You will be standing in the core area.

If you see this thing forming below you, run, but get back to the core spot quickly once it is gone!

If the party already has a surplus of healing, and there is a clear target that needs damage (i.e. the sun), you can help kill it.

Paladin Gameplay

When going as a tank, paladin is the best class/archetype insofar as it can draw aggro. Before anni shows up, you should have your “Holy Power” bar completely filled, thus allowing you to activate “Heavenly Trumpet” and giving overhealth to yourself and those around you.

Alternate between bash and war scream to keep all of your abilities active, especially keeping an eye on your “Heavenly Trumpet” cooldown timer and recasting as soon as it is complete. Don’t worry about anything else, just stay focused on Anni the whole time to keep it provoked on you!

General Information

You will be standing in tank spot.

If you see this thing forming below you, STAY. You should be able to tank it.

Don’t do anything else!
