Preemptive Strike/Strategies

< Preemptive Strike

Positions of the Mamool Ja will vary because they wander around.

  • Camp positions can vary but generally seem to be:
    • at the first mob (I-6), on the island (H-7)
    • after the bridge past the island (G-7/G-8)
    • near the ramp leading back up to the top (G-7 northside)
    • and the last mob (G-6).
  • Pull from above if possible in order to avoid unnecessary Puk aggro.
    • Puks agro sight as normal, but also have very short range sound agro. Be aware of this and use invisible and sneak when feasible.
    • Puks can agro those on the central island from below.
  • Counting kills in /p chat is very useful on this assault.
    • You should have killed 7 Mamool by the time you leave the central island. (1 at the start point exit, 6 scattered around the island on the ground).
    • Mamools on the ground floor can and will wander out of pulling range, so being fluid with where you "camp" is important. You may need to double back, or catch a single Mamool on the ground on the way to the Rune of Release, Puk agro is not a real danger if you kill close to any wall.
  • It is possible to pull the Mamools who are on ledges from ground level (only really useful for the BLU in the SE and SW corners).
