[The3rdWalker 1,271]

Recommended light to launch is 310 (However people have cleared it starting with Teams 300-307, at least 310 for Oryx.)
• To start the raid as leader you must have cleared Normal Mode on that character at least once.
• All mobs Level 42
• Able to Revive? No --- Radiance? Yes
• Calcified Fragments? None confirmed found yet.
• Worlds First Completion: Clan - Forever LivE - 1 hour 17 min.

Warpreist
• Strategy: Unchanged
• Warepreist changes: each of the Obelisks contain a different power for the Warpriest when it de-spawns after Oculus.
(Note: The Location Right, Left or Middle vs the effect May Be Random)

---- Middle: 3x tracking bolts similar to Taken Hobgoblins
---- Left: Centurion Axion darts.

Golgaroth
• Strategy: (Same rotate bubbles or 1 Bubble) or whatever works
• Notable Changes:
---- Puddles have shorter timers
---- Unstable Light -- De-buff –
---- When standing in puddle 1-2 random players - damages nearby players when timer hits 0.
---- Player who has De-Buff does not die but should Kill adds and move away from teammates!

---- Thralls, knights, dedicated runner, run counter-clockwise, and only 3 plates needed.
---- Extra knights spawn near platforms in opposite order from ogres (last ogre = 1st knight) and try to detonate bombs early (1 per bomb).
---- After first damage phase do running/circles, Shade of Oryx at 50%. 4 bombs still do ~25% damage.
• Loot: 300 – 320
---- Drops new emblem

So the dust has settled and this is the important information I could gather. Doesn't look too bad!

What time? If it's early I probably can, have to head back to work @ 1030 EST.

I should be able to raid on Tuesday night.  8:30 or 9.

From Reddit

The majority of groups will stagger Oryx, then have the relic runner shoot at his chest, the roamer shoot at adds and the 4 others run for the orbs. Sometimes people die to adds, imo completely unnecessary.

After Oryx staggers, you have a LOT of time (about half a minute). As soon as he staggers, everyone stay IN the aura and just kill the adds. Spend a good 10-15 seconds, front guys shoot front adds, back guys shoot back adds. ToM on all players helps a lot. When adds are all dead, run to your orbs in perfect safety, detonate in sync (countdown helps) and run back, laughing at the 2-3 leftover thrall who have no chance in hell of killing you.

N.B.: One guy must keep shooting Oryx's chest to keep it open, so the bombs can do their damage. A single ToM spammed is enough.

There you have it. One phase of the fight made super easy.

Well, that seems easy enough.  We were just rushing it.
