Preparing for the Pelinal's Zerg Event: A Guide to Greatness

The "50-final-blow kills" achievement is largely doable if you sit in the back of a zerg and spam your class execute, such as Jesus Beam or Mage's Fury. Executes proc at low health and burst quickly enough to land you the final blow. If you don't have a class execute, then you'll struggle somewhat because everyone else will get the killing blow 99% of the time.

Also equip Soul Assault and stack Max Magicka, crit chance, crit damage, and spell damage. For sustain, use a Lightning Staff HA with an Oblivion Damage Enchantment equipped. For extra burst, you can use Valkyn Skoria, as it will proc off of Jesus Beam (if Temp), Soul Assault, and your HA channeled ticks - all of which are DoTs. Meteor is not advised as it takes a few seconds to land, allowing time for the target to get killed by something else before the Meteor lands.

If you can't find a zerg, make a zerg. If a zerg cannot be made, join a guild and host a guild event where 20+ of you go into IC all on your Wardens and trample every Procblade in an unholy stampede of Birds, Bees, and Bears!

    Awesome guide. 10/10 would spam Soul Assault and Lightning Heavy on magDK again

    Yeah, DKs and Wardens have it the hardest without a proper execute, but Soul Assault, lightning HA, and Skoria will take care of you. It will take a bit longer, but it is still very doable!

    Question!
    I am not very experienced with zerging and I need some guidance!
    If my preferred method of tactical zerging is to spam the cliffracer (I made sure to put it on all my slots front bar to minimize the risk of mistakes in such a stressful environment) - is it proper to LA weave between bird spam?
    I have observed the behavior of very skilled, high-end, elite zergs and have not noticed this behavior!

    Please help! I do not want to be exposed and name-and-shamed for improper zerging habits!

    Is there a chance as a leaching zerger to get this achievement? My build is a resto staff with rapid regen slotted 10 times. What do you suggest?

    You could even weave it with lightning heavy attacks, up to you. Just don't forget to teabagg everyone you zerged down spammed cliffracers on.

    You can spam Resto HA channels with Skoria, spam Mutagen for AP ticks, and fire off your Soul Assault off cooldown. If you are a Templar, you can fire off some Jesus Beam attacks if you see someone hit about 50% HP.

    Oh, and use Mutagen - it's better because if any of your affected allies' HP drops to 20%, their Mutagen heal will proc for a burst heal and give you more AP than a standard healing tick would give since AP gains are based on how much damage is healed on an ally. In the event your zerg is destro-bombed, it will cause all of your allies' Mutagen effects to all proc as they die, giving you a surge of AP right before you are all killed, lol.
