QARN HM Final Boss - Red Beam Mechanic

[Nova_Dresden]

Had this happen to my group on my first run as SCH. ONLY the tank was targeted each time, and it caused 3 wipes since he goes crazy on each DPS and drops them before the tank comes unmummified (is that even a word?). I never saw it target anyone else and the tank went from 0 to 4 stacks instantly.

I think it targets whoever is closest to him which would normally be the tank. He was in his crazy phase so people were dodging around the room and he managed to corner me last time i did it and hit lazer on me. After turned into a mummy ran around then ran into a coffin and got healed in full.....Yeah i don't get it either. I'd love to see what they were smoking when they thought it up. The lazer is like a lasso that latches on to the person so maybe if you damage it enough in time it stops but people tend to have been running around during that last phase because he starts chasing the DPS or the Healer. Doesn't seem much reason for it seen it if people turn into mummies or not.

Stun it. Stun the sword beam too.

And dodge, dodge, dodge.

It's a pretty simple mechanic that happens towards the end of the fight. He targets one specific player as the guy he wants to get mummified, and that player better be ready to dodge. The aoe line is invisible, however it can be dodged via LOS method. Even then, if a tank or healer becomes mummified, you should still be able to beat him. Come on guys, it's a challenge worth keeping in the game. Hardly a broken mechanic at all. If you wanna talk about broken mechanics, go back to them old days of dealing with the demon wall.

Demon wall doesn't kill people, bees kill people.

No one has even been talking about the straight-beam laser. They mean the red tether that the boss attaches to someone.

Those bees were so far from a broken mechanic >.< I'd consider a fight I've solo'd as a tank broken before a fight that has a little challenge to it. Such as this new demon wall, or a last boss in SV HM. Those bees weren't that ridiculous to deal with when he had i70 gear, now with poe and everything else, you think those bees would even be a tiny problem? Yet people whined and whined their way into the fight being totally nerfed and pathetic.

[MXMoondoggie]

Lol the Bees were the only challenge in the whole fight and now it's boring and easy. I wouldn't call the Qarn HM mechanic broken either it's just an oddball thing that i've not been able to figure out why it happens and if there is a way to avoid it.

Ran Qarn for the third time with my friend, and for the first time we came across this mechanic. It targeted her, BLM, and we were both surprised and unsure what to do about it.
I'm mostly just curious what triggers or prevents it, as I wasn't aware of its existence up until the third run at all.

She likes being a mummy though, finds it hilarious, so it's all good.
