Hey folks, I'm having trouble successfully running the the Noqufiel raid. I've run it around 10 times now and I've run into the same "bug(?)" each time, so this time I ran it carefully and systematically so I could tell you guys exactly what I did, in the hopes that someone identify what I did wrong.
My problem (tl;dr): The two mobs named "Noqufiel" at the end die like normal mobs, rather than depopping and being replaced by "True Image of Noqufiel" and "Mirror Image of Noqufiel" like they're meant to. Thus, "The Bones of No Noqufiel" never pop, and I cannot interact with Jomica the Unforgiven to get the flag.
Here's what I did:
I ran this with my main (necro) and a second box (warrior). Necro and warrior were raided, but not in the same group. No bots.
Step 1 (pre "a clay monolith" hallway): I cleared my way to the "stonemite" hallway, hailing Jomica the Unforgiven along the way. I have tried running this without hailing Jomica, and I had the same result (i.e., failed Noqufiel encounters). I skipped dealing with the "Mimezpo the Oracle" encounter because I have read other posts on here suggesting a possible link between completing that encounter can lead to this same issue. I entered the stonemite hallyway with my necro first - upon getting aggroed by stonemites, I FD'ed just long enough for my pet to pick up aggro, then cleared them. I entered with my warrior next, and he facetanked until I cleared the stonemites again.
Step 2 ("a clay monolith" hallyway): I had my warrior eat aggro at every trigger point, and then my necro (pet + contagious DoTs) cleared each wave out. My warrior died twice in this process, but my necro never died or FD'ed, so aggro should never have been broken.
Step 3 (the rest): My necro began the Cursecaller encounter. I systematically killed each of the six Cursecallers one by one (pet + DoTs), while killing cursebearers as they approached. No deaths or FDs. After the sixth Cursecaller died, a pile of bones popped, which I opened before entering the Noqufiel room with both my necro and my warrior. I engaged the left Noqufiel first with my necro pet, and then had it engage with the right Noqufiel. Some folks over /ooc suggested that killing the Noqufiel mobs too quickly might be an issue, so I let my necro pet (with pet weapons and guild lobby buffs) 1v2 the two mobs. I never cast any offensive spells the entire encounter, I just cast occasional heals on my pet if it dropped below 80% HP. I made sure both Noqufiel mobs were below 30% HP before I let my pet kill the left one first, and then the right. The entire fight probably lasted somewhere between 15-25 minutes. As before, each Noqufiel mob died as if it was a normal mob - no True Image or Mirror Image ever spawned. I parked my toons there to watch the room for at least an hour, just in case the Images spawned incredibly late, but nothing.
Does anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong?
