Halls of Fabrication explanation

omarjaz

1. So today I asked my guild to help me beat Halls of Fabrication
2. We got 12 people total (is that the limit?)
3. We did great until the last boss(es)
4. We got the Hunter-Killer Positrox‎ and Hunter-Killer Negatrix
5. my question is: does it matter that we got a few veterans in our group? I mean, are these enemies exclusive to Vets?
6. Should I have only recruited lvl50 and below?
7. They seemed impossible to beat, I read the strategy goes as follows:
8. If both Fabricants are close to each other, they form a link which strengthens them, but also is the only way to dispel the damage shield on the Refabricated Arquebuses that spawn during the fight. It is advised that one tank keeps one of the Fabricants in the middle of the room, while the other tank kites the second one arround, creating the link to destroy any Arquebus that spawns. They will also cause a debuff which drains more health the longer it is active, and should be dispelled as soon as possible.
9. There was some sort of debuff or venom that I don't know if it was over time or what but it felt like an insta-kill. the question is how to purge that poison.
10. Do you guys recommend Advanced UI for these type of raids?
11. At the end we stopped trying because it was too dang difficult.
12. What's your advice?

So does being condescending make you feel better about yourself?
If you cannot help, just simply move onto something better than to ridiculing people.

...definitely not a serious post no.

First of all, read this guide.
Secondly, veteran characters can do both vet and normal versions. Make sure its set on normal if its your first try. Veteran version is quite challenging.
Also, fabricants are the first boss.

You should have only recruited cp160 and above, even better 300+. Halls of Fabrication is by far the hardest raid on normal and it looks like you dont have very much experience with raids either, so id recommend you and your guild to do the others first and once you completed them, try nHoF. Also what do you mean by veterans?

Thank you guys, some people can't help it but to be toxic. leaving the hyperlink to the guide was helpful. So thank you again for taking the time to clearing up some of my questions.

Hunter-Killer Positrox‎ and Hunter-Killer Negatrix

Are the first of many bosses and well i think by far the hardest in the whole raid.

I wouldn't say you can't do it at that level but as i can see you might be pretty new to raid alltogether and i'd recommend doing a few other trials first and get to know you class/skills better until you try to tackle HoF

I did normal and it took us like an hour to get past the first boss ... we eventually gave up at the fourth?? boss the 3x Centurion bosses in the scrap yard after about an hour and a half.

Yikes, so after hunter killers the trial continues? that's a lot of mechanics to learn for each boss. what a nightmare.

Hunter-Killers are not the last boss - the Assembly General is, and he is even more difficult. HoF is rather demanding when it comes to mechanics, every single group member must fulfil his role. Discipline is crucial here, the leader has to know what he is doing. Also, I wouldn't even try to complete it with non-veteran group, and at least half of them should be very experienced (not pro/meta, just experienced with trials). Min 20k DPS (not 18-19, 20 and more!) is required, 30k recommended.
I haven't try the mechanic with "kiting" (I think it's an old tactic, some things have changed). We usually form 2 equal groups to separate the bosses (tank, healer and 4 DDs) and break the link, and kill them asap, before the adds become unbearable. Works for me every time. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqvTdfSOGzU then look for other Alcast vids about the rest of bosses. Learn the mechanics, you won't make it without knowing them!!!

Bud, from a lot of player's perspective this post is very strange.

Assuming this is a normal trial, any level can join in. Only on veteran difficulty does a level requirement come in. On average, cp level players will hit harder than those below 50. You were on the first boss, but referred to it as the last. There are four bosses total. It seems like you were getting the hang of the mechanics, though. Have the healers and even a tank or dps use purge to remove the dot.

I'd recommend you try an easier trial if you're new, as Halls is probably the hardest normal mode trial. Stick with Craglorn trials and the mini trials if you're learning, then move on to Halls and MoL as they're more mechanics-heavy.

Also, ezio recommended you look up Alcast's video. That is helping.
