How to beat Selene?

Jitterbug

Is there a trick to it?
Have failed with a couple of pugs now...

Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks!

Well, there are different strategies to kill her.
We usually stack in a cornor, so Selene and all the melee adds come to us. We AoE the melee adds down, ignore the ranged ones, use damage reductions like veil of blades and try to kill the boss fast.
Another possibillity would be to focus on killing all adds fast and damaging the boss while there are no adds.

Selene can be a pain if you lack aoe dps. Been in a group like that once, it was a real struggle. Another time we just flew through the fight with barely noticing ads.

You need aoe dps for this fight. CC ads, aoe them, chainpull them to you, ulti them and hit Selene in between ads(might make for slow fight with low aoe dps but beats a wipe).

I'm sure there are other strategies for it but as long as you can squeeze out enough aoe dps there's no need for them:)

IMO the archer with ghost panthers is harder than Selene.

Agreed, if you can get through LongClaw, Selene should be doable.

The adds are key - they can add up in a hurry. Range the archers, draw everything else in and AoE. Try to pull them near Selene to get double duty from your DPS.

You get small breathers in between waves and in between the web stun+AoE that she does. This one's more of an endurance fight, slow and steady, rather than a burn down in 30 seconds kind of thing.

Try to have all of your group use her as the central point, as she's usually pretty easily identifiable. Roll through AoE's to the other side, then turn around - it's a lot faster than turning and the moving and will save you precious seconds.

Like many of the mass-add fights, this one can be resource intensive, so make sure you have food buffs and make sure you potion early.

Having to wait a few seconds for resources to regen can be the difference between clearing and wiping.

One last commonly overlooked tactic, stand behind or on all four sides. A boss pointed away won't single target DPS you. A boss turning or constantly switching targets is spending less time DPSing.

(If you have any Sorc's in your group, Lightning armor can be a beautiful thing - nothing quite as poetic as being pulled in and snared by a boss while still doing damage in the process. I suspect shades would work here too.)

Well, the videos do indeed show the players kill her (I've seen these before) but offers no "walkthrough". It does not tell me where we went wrong and what we can do to beat her.
I realize that she can be beaten, I just need some pointers as to how.
Like, should the tank pick up adds, should we ignore them, should we stack, do we AoE or nuke... stuff like that.
