Oryx is easy to beat as long as everyone knows what they are doing and executed properly. If you are having trouble, it's because 1) people don't want to take the time to teach you the encounter. 2) you are the one who is not executing properly. It only takes one person to screw up the entire fight.

  • I have found the most important roles are the relic runner and the permanent ogre killer. If that ogre dps isn't high enough it kills the raid. And if the relic runner falls it kills the raid. Everyone else has pretty simple jobs, aside from the random floater (spending on platform oryx chooses), but even that person doesn't have too much on their shoulders. The mechanics are tough to get down for some groups. I was in a group the other day with there people over 300 and everyone was over 295. For some reason the dps was low. Third and fourth ogres took too long to kill and staggering oryx was inconsistent. I still don't know why. Did the entire raid the next day with a new group and we murdered it. Had no issues except golgoroth since none of us had been the gaze grabber before. 3 wipes to figure out the rhythm, then downed him in 3 gazes. No idea why the results were so different, except sometimes players just aren't as good. When you get a random group and more than one can't pull their weight you'll never beat oryx.

  • I've found that the relic runner is typically our shot caller and is very experienced. The dedicated Ogre person is our least experienced and weakest player because his position is so expendable. The 4 guys on platforms are just responsible for their own Ogres and as long as everyone stays on point with that and help each other out, it all goes smooth. That ogre guy can die as much as he wants.

  • So if the encounter gets messed up it's his fault? Nobody else's? Not any of the other 5 people? Really? Are you sure that shouldn't be an option? Are you really sure? Yeah?

  • I can't say every time. But if he is consistently having issues completing it, maybe he should look at his own tactics. In my group, sure people screw up, things don't always go as planned, but when we are helping a first timer through and it takes us an hour to beat Oryx, it's obvious where the fault lies.

  • We didn't even attempt it. If we did I would be able to tell you if it was my fault. Now we can't get enough people on or no one even wants to try.
