BRC Wing 1 - trash up to Excorant & Excorant fight

Trash

3 different mobs on the way to Excorant:

- Essence Extractor: summons several minion class mobs (Necros can shatter or other classes can minion kill). Does do a poison debuff & poison attack but goes down quickly unless several are pulled.

- Flame Keeper: these should be taken first if pulled.

- Black Ring Guard: simple tank and spank.

Excorant

This fight has 3 stages: gargoyle adds, human form and gargoyle form. As with all BRC fights, debuffs are key here.

During the human form stage, the boss will turn people to stun (Earthern Curse) - this can be cured via the spell that casters can get (quest is from the gargoyle torso at the entrance) and the sand that drops from the gargoyle adds. 3-4 people will be designated to unstun people, so when stunned you need to follow the current unstunner (via /follow [name]); once the unstunner has enough following them they will then pick up and use the sand. No-one else should be touching the sand.

Raid placement:

The main raid will be at the boss's location when we enter (the fire place); the boss itself will be tanked by a guard + healer (preferrably BS) at the opposite end of the room. When moving to the position at the start of the fight, the main raid must go down the side leaving the centre free for the tank.

Necros should use lifestealers here to absorb stuns.

Gargoyle adds:

There are 6 adds (3 pairs) and they awaken at regular intervals; 2 tanks will be assigned for each pair. A gargoyle will be taken to the main raid and killed as quickly as possible. When a gargoyle is at 15% the next one should be brought in.

The quicker these die, the quicker we can move on to

Human form:

Simple tank and spank - with the addition of the stun. During this form, you can get stunned multiple times.

Gargoyle form:

Tank and spank again; but this form fears and resets the aggro so let the tank regain aggro after each fear. Goad doesn't work so allow a few seconds to get aggro. Anyone stunned from the previous form will be left to have the stun expire as he doesn't stun during this form.
