After observing Gorseval for years, watching her reform over and over again from the surrounding spirits, the researcher from Cantha were able to reverse engineer the process and created a device that lets them clone a person (as its still experimental only one Person will be chosen) to handle her and demolish her attempts to fight back. Thus the Squad decided who their strongest is, to clone and tackle the infinitly reassembling Gorseval more efficiently.
Goal: Complete the encounter as fast as possible, with all player using the same Elite specialization and keeping the time a Defiance bar is active to a minimum
Point system: Well not really a Point system. Kill time is what matters. The time a Defiance bar is not broken will be added to your killtime.
Rules: Willbender can not use Feel my Wrath Harbinger can not use Elixir of Ambition in combination with Twisted Medicine Chronomancer can not be used. You can only participate with one team at a time. No Racial skills, No Beta Character, No Emboldened Mode, No stacking Sigil. No Temporal Curtain pull on the big Spirits in the splitphase. A single PoV is enough, to compare it to the submitted log.
* this encounter might seem unfamiliar to people that know Samarog's mechanics[CnD] Cardinal Sabir - 2:24 | SpellbreakerBekko2023-04-29 | I played with sigil of paralyzation on hammer because all my hammer segments are while sabir is in a CC (so with barrier or no vulnerbility) or when I run to the edge.
Couple of things that went wrong: - Left Rampage early in the opener which delays everything by ~1s - Used hammer2 before hammerF1 on the first whisp. This delayed my p2 and meant magebane tether is applied early - Skipped Rampage4 when I was standing in the corner for p3. Would have been some free dmg and cc.

Song: Odjbox - Saraghina[Benchmark] DPS Spellbreaker - 28.574Bekko2022-07-02 | Wow new benchmark already! Fixed a brain issue now we do a bit more dps.
There are two bugs you'll encounter and here are the workarounds: - If your Dagger3 cast isn't going off after swapping, you need to start spamming the button. - If you have problems casting cyclone axe after the 5 axe autos you need to stow after double chop.

I mostly uploaded for reference if anyone wants to know how strong Dagger mainhand is now that "Sun & Moon" got buffed.
Replacing the mace with a dagger will screw over you "Attackers Insight" stacks more than a 10% bonus on 1 weaponset can compensate for.

Cuff Mallody) by Feverkin & Koresma (youtu.be/5ACfk0cK8EU)[Benchmark] Tactics Bannerslave - 30.081Bekko2021-05-24 | Depending on the length of the phase it can make sense to start with Headbutt to ramp up dps more quickly. Other than that the loop for every Berserk is the same and really nice to follow.
If you can't get the last decapitate in you can try to cut your "Whirling Axe" a bit shorter or just not worry about it. The last decapitate hits outside of Berserk so it does about 25% less damage than the other 14 Decapitates.
log: https://dps.report/4YSY-20210521-132629_golem[Benchmark] Spellbreaker Bannerslave - 31.129Bekko2021-05-15 | Spellbreaker does not have good burst but can make very good use of "Sigil of Severance" and "Full Counter" in fights where the bosses are casting a lot of skills.
On Wing6 Qadim you should replace "Rampage" with "Winds of Disenchantment". The Bubble will give you "Attackers Insight" stacks as it is stripping and preventing application of boons.
The best time to use Full Counter is instead of AxeF1, you do not want to use Full Counter on Axe any earlier since it will apply "Magebane Tether" earlier than inteded reducing the uptime on your Axe5.

Now that that's out of the way we can talk about the kill.
We knew we wanted to finish the encounter with only 2 heal phases so we adjusted some sigils and the food to increase our outgoing healing.
We tried a bunch of different methods to sync up our snowball throws. Eventually we settled on throwing until the heart is close to 30% and then give everyone 3 seconds to get ready to throw and push the heart to 50% resp. 100%.
Big thanks to everyone that joined the run on short notice.
This bench is supposed to show the basic idea I had for the rotation. There is no loop. To properly transition out of the second Berserk you need to delay the last "Scorched Earth" as long as possible to proc "Martial Cadence" on your sword cooldowns with the lingering field. In the third Berserk I messed up both procs. For the first I should have delayed the F1 until the buff shows up to get the "Fan of Fires" out sooner to not delay weaponswaping. For the second I should have used Headbutt later. I have no doubts that this rotation can be further optimized and grinded, just not from me.
I use Headbutt in Berserk so the timing of when it runs out works better with weaponswap and it allows to get a lot more value out of "Martial Cadence".
PoV's marked with * are from an earlier run that had the same time.

(It turns out this kill is 4:37 as well, my timer shouldn't be synched with dhuums enrage)
I played Tactics since might was wonky without the help of PS and EA adds quite a good chunk of DPS to the soulbeasts as well.
The rotation could probably be a bit better optimized to get one additional decapitate off in the first berserk and enter the last berserk before the ritual before placing the second banner to have it quicker later.

[XVII] Qadim - 8:08 | Core WarriorBekko2020-11-15 | This is not how you do DPS on Core Warrior. This was the last run to fit in the 1h submission window and the only previous kill we got had some pretty bad later phases. So the focus was to not do anything stupid. xD
I used "Mending" for my heal because cleansing conditions is pretty useful but more importantly there are a lot of windows where I was stuck on maces or walking from one place to another where I could cast it for the active PP buff.
Our evening of Qadim reminded me of progressing on this boss with my casual guild and I had a genuinely good time. The offseason events the Raiding League are hosting are a nice and refreshing experience that I can recommend to everyone!
[XVII] is recruiting Warrior or DPS mains: old.reddit.com/r/guildrecruitment/comments/jtjshu/eu_seventeen_elitists_xvii_is_recruting[CnD] Gorseval - 1:38 | PS Banner BerserkerBekko2020-10-23 | As a PS warrior you provide 25 might to your subgroup for the main phases. The PS might doesn't last very long, so for the splits we used a combination of the Renegades "Heroic Command" and multiple "For Great Justice!" to keep the might capped.
Despite my game having some weird issues with turning the camera and random lags, I decided to start foodswapping which pushed my DPS in a favorable run by ~1.5k in main phases.
I could have uploaded a cleaner kill but decided to go with the one that ended up being a record. Optimally you wouldn't skip the decapitate in P1 and for P2 and P3 you should time weaponswap differently to avoid having to "Double Chop". The rest worked out pretty much as intended.
If you are curious about other perspectives check out some of my guildmates recordings!
While its not a perfect kill in any regards it should still give a pretty good idea how to adjust your rotation using a Greatsword. Similarly to Vale Guradian it should help with DPS in the splitphase while also providing a bit more Damage in the main burns.
The third burn was a bit scuffed since I used a few too many cooldowns to help the other adds but it worked out reasonably well.

I chose to play with Greatsword since I felt like it would provide more DPS during the split phase. Rotation wise it made sense to start on GS for Phase 1 to better deal with the Blues teleport aoes. Since I only get 1 Blood Reckoning off inside Berserk I used it for an additional GSF1 since Elu said thats better and he is smart. (Also that had worked out well previously when benching GS Bannerslave). I recast Banners at the beginning of the mainphase to improve my swiftness uptime. Optimally I would delay picking up banners before the split as much as possible to improve swiftness uptime there as well but I didnt pay too much attention to it and just tried to find them as quickly as possible.

You also have quite some healing pressure since people have a tendency to hurt themselves with the bombs after the breakbars (mostly because it helps you charge up the SAK faster). And the final thing to worry about in a fast kill is that some of your spirits might die while you portal up after the boss phased at 60% because the closest Air Elemental will generally shoot them.
I had a good time playing Druid but I'm looking forward to playing Warrior again :D
The rotation in this video follows the normal a/d d/t condition soulbeast priority list except that we added Iboga F skills as many times as we could without delaying weaponswap timings.
Another slight modification we did was to run Spike Trap or Sharpening Stones over Flame Trap. I went with Spike Trap because it just feelt way too good to have that TaV together with owp.
It was amazing to experience the number of options we could chose from when trying to figure out which stance share soulbeast build would suit cairn best.

song: youtu.be/jgfj6EhEGb0[Outdated] Strength Bannerslave (Greatsword) - 34.286Bekko2020-04-26 | When playing with greatsword the skill priority on axe shift to Cyclone Axe over Dual Strike over Whirling Axe. This is because you will be unable to press long cooldown skill off-cooldown anyways since we keep swapping to greatsword.
There are still a bunch of things that arent perfect in this pov like the interrupted Cyclone Axes and missing 2 Whirling Axe ticks but I had some good rng so the number is pretty impressive anyways.
I grinded this benchmark after seeing Elus 33.7k greatsword benchmark without spotter (youtube.com/watch?v=q66rTAyimuA) and made a few modifications to the later loops.

I only use "Smoldering Arrow" when I dont have enough time for an autoattack. If the next skill is already off cooldown for you then skip " Smoldering Arrow".
log: https://dps.report/9rUO-20200419-112640_golem song: Ben L'Oncle Soul - Seven Nation Army[CnD] Qadim - 4:51 | Bannerslave KiterBekko2020-04-03 | About kiting: For kiting most important is to realize that you can use "Cyclone Axe" on every other slubling, so really you are just filling the gaps with "Dual Strike", "Whirling Axe" and auto attacks if needed. If you are using this to kill pug runs PLEASE use a warhorn in the second weaponset to cleanse yourself if you get hit by his fire because that inflicts weakness which makes you deal reduced damage to the slubies.
About the build: I run an eagle run setup since that should be on average more dps. I ran "Phalanx Strength" because with "Mending Might" this gives you some pretty good self sustain during the Qadim burnphases. Last phase I swaped in food that gives me a power buff on heal that lasts for a bit to push the timer from a 4:52 to a 4:51.
Ps: I checked, "Destruction of the Empowered" would have been a dps loss over "Double Standard" sadly. ):[Outdated] Condition Bannerslave (Alternate Rotation) - 34.127Bekko2020-03-11 | I upgraded my old benchmark a little bit (nothing changed since then balance wise).
If you are having trouble fitting the "Flames of War" into the second Berserk you can just go with the previous rotation (youtu.be/WWqQwWzKrcY) you can still pull roughly the same number.
I delay the third Berserk a bit not just because of the extra "Final Thrust" but it also makes it a lot easier to not drop Berserk.
log: https://dps.report/r8rN-20200311-103959_golem song: Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Eurythmics[CnD] Soulless Horror - 1:50 | BannerslaveBekko2020-02-06 | It was my job to kill as many of the worms as fast as I could since we did not have a scourge to epi them down. Unfortunately the worms are invulnerable for different lengths after the fight starts, which meant that I couldn't kill them as fast as we would have wanted them to die.
Cleaving the worms was also the reason why I replaced my Earth Sigils with Bursting Sigils because I did not want to waste Earth Sigil proccs on the worms that were invulnerable.
One nice thing rotation wise you can do as Bannerslave on Soulless Horror is to use the Berserk-extension of Headbutt to fit in an additional Shattering Blow to further increase your Berserk uptime.
Also you can swap to Longbow 2 seconds before your Berserk is up and recast your Banners to do the same Rotation again as you do in the opener where you swap off of longbow after faster.
After rezzing I fucked up my rotation a bit by swapping to Longbow way too early so don't give that much thought.
I was the Berserker with the red banner. If you want to play this build in your average pug you can most likely use headbutt and wildblow on every breakbar.
[CnD] is recruiting! — http://bit.ly/cnd_recruitment[CnD] Slothasor - 1:35 | BannerslaveBekko2019-12-03 | We based our composition and movement a lot on the Slothasor record Snow Crows uploaded in late May this year.
Changes I did to the warrior build were first, that I swapped Strength for Tactics, providing Empower Allies to Bovan while benefiting from Martial Cadence to have less cooldown on my Crowd Control and Whirling Axe, and second the shield offhand instead of mace because Shield Bash is a leap comboing with the lightning field of the renegades for 130 additional breakbar damage.
As for the Rotation I did. It was really hard to find something optimal for a boss that has inconsistent phases like Slothasor. The main focus was, to get as many Whirling Axes as possible. Until 40% its reasonably optimized for our phases and then it gets kinda wild. ;)

Tank the first hand, block the 2nd hand with mace 2, evade the 3rd and 4th hand with full counter, dodge the 5th hand with the dodge ability.
Save shield 5 for the Mind Crush and your heal to sustain back up. make sure that the hands dont kill you during the heal cast by casting it right after a block from shield is procced.
Endure pain is just there so when you do this in pugs you can press it as a backup recovery. You will also survive mindcrush with it. It can be usefull to activate while casting the rezz banner.
You swap weapons to heal a bit with the Sigil of Renewal and restore some Endurance with the Sigil of Energy.
