Mother Beams

[Kirayla]

Mother . . . . it is not the hunters or maybe it is . . .. or maybe we can't stop it?

So i decided to look over the Mother fight, in order to improve our future performances. Thus i wanted to look at whom Mother was targeting for the Beams, which is what we were trying to avoid by clumping up. First it is interesting to note that Mother can target pets and also that she rotated through each beam 3 times, but for us . . . the 1st cycle of Sinfuls was repeated (maybe us moving . . . not sure . . . also i was reading that beam order is possibly random?). So here is a list of the beam targets and the beam Mother used:


1) Sinful Beam Target = Flaaghon
2) Sinful Beam Target = Kari
3) Sinful Beam Target = Defacer


4) Sinful Beam Target = Kari
5) Sinful Beam Target = Silverflail
6) Sinful Beam Target = Faible


7) Sinister Beam Target = Rotguter
8) Sinister Beam Target = Paramol
9) Sinister Beam Target = Xarhud


10) Wicked Beam Target = Rotguter
11) Wicked Beam Target = Nemonic
12) Wicked Beam Target = Hinome


13) Vile Beam Target = Hinome
14) Vile Beam Target = Neelshekor
15) Vile Beam Target = Hinome


16) Sinful Beam Target = Faible

So at first I though . . . maybe people being teleported by the Fatal Attraction were getting beamed before getting back into place. So i looked at who got beamed and when. That is shown in the next chart as follows:

1) Sinful Beam Target = Flaaghon
2) Sinful Beam Target = Kari
3) Sinful Beam Target = Defacer

Fatal Attraction - Rot/Saladar

4) Sinful Beam Target = Kari
5) Sinful Beam Target = Silverflail
6) Sinful Beam Target = Faible

Fatal Attraction - Faible/Azz

7) Sinister Beam Target = Rotguter
8) Sinister Beam Target = Paramol
9) Sinister Beam Target = Xarhud

Fatal Attraction - Hive/Omni/Faible

10) Wicked Beam Target = Rotguter
11) Wicked Beam Target = Nemonic

Fatal Attraction - Necraili/Para/Rot

12) Wicked Beam Target = Hinome
13) Vile Beam Target = Hinome
14) Vile Beam Target = Neelshekor

Fatal Attraction - Nemo/Jawana

15) Vile Beam Target = Hinome
16) Sinful Beam Target = Faible

From this we can see that those whom were ported out were not the toons that were afflicted by the Beams.

So overall i was wondering if anyone has seen any exact distance that you cannot be away from her in order to skip the beams. I tried looking up some reference . . . but most guilds do no use this strat. Also i don't know how it is possible to stop Pets being targeted, seeing as they attack the target in a designated Blizz range.

So anyone have any thoughts or possible reasoning. Also i was curious as if . . .. It doesn't matter who is out of range . . . but she will target someone randomly because of it?. Also i am beginning to doubt that the beams can be stopped. I mean most strategies i am looking at, say the beams happen and that the raid clumps up to reduce the chance that the Fatal attraction people being teleported onto the raid group as a whole.

Well that is my thought on this fight.
