DPS Question

[T-ISX]

Been playing for a couple of months after being away from the game for a while. Almost through CoE content.

Trying to defeat the All-Tender CM, its seems apparent to me my group does not have the DPS to focus on burning the named. The adds pile up and group dies. Alternatively, I also don't seem the have the ranged DPS to tank it away from the party and burn the adds instead. The named simply heals faster than I can burn the adds and get back on the named.

Group is:
Paladin
Mystic
Inq
Ranger
Dirge
Coercer

Everyone is 95/320, T2 Steward gear, most of the jewelry. Pal, Ranger and Dirge have Ethereal Hoops of Veeshan's Tear. Chars are mostly mastered. I use Ogre and feel my profiles are setup pretty well.

For reference, group parses ~2.1M in a 5min fight on epic dummy. Of course, healers are not healing and curing so their DPS is higher than normal.

My question is: If I don't have the DPS to win this fight, what are my next steps within CoE content to get it? I guess I don't have to beat this fight before moving on to new content, but I'd like the satisfaction of defeating it and also would like to see if I can get more Ethereals.

All thoughts welcome, thanks.

Edit: healers are in DPS stance/spec.

Find a raid partner and advance that way. With one group you are going to be limited as to what you can do.

Sorry if I created confusion, this is the heroic version of WE with the CM version of the final named.

Assuming you can without running into lockout issues, move onto 1 grouping raid content. AoA x4, you should be able to clear without too much difficulty.
Harrows End - First 3 are easy enough (drag Melanie adds outside of room first if you want to do it an 'easy' way). Bastion is also doable, just practice.
Sleepers Tomb - First 1 for sure, 2nd is a long fight if dps is low.

Then of course you can do the Sirens Grotto zones (Heroic). The Challenge Mode one will be a good thing to work on.

Thanks Cheesy much appreciated. I cleared the first 3 named in AoA and scored some nice upgrades already.

For All-Tender, if you're not going to straight up burn him and instead try deal with the adds then leave a dispel caster(Coercer in your case I guess) on All-Tender while you deal with the adds. And have Absorb Magic in their casting sequence. The 10% heal All-Tender casts is a buff that needs to be dispelled to prevent it from ticking.

Thanks for the info, I will it another try leaving the Coercer on him.

You can easily do the 4th one as well, the imp. It's just a simple tank and spank, like the 2nd (or 3rd i guess, whichever one you do first) boss. Kill the imp that wanders around right by the ledge where you port up. Then kill the imp that wanders around up in the middle area by the statue (where you can go left to the 2nd boss or right to the third boss). Then go down the waterfall and look for the imp down there as well that wanders around. You can simply pull him up the waterfall if you are lazy like me. Then the imp boss spawns there in the middle by the healer statue.

Is it just me that finds it really odd you can one group raid content but you can't kill WBE HM?

It's always been this way. Every single x2 I can ever think of, when they released it, was tuned extremely difficult. Over time, they usually nerf the shit out of them, but it's definitely not something "new" to eq2.
