**NOTE: The second named of the Ring Event has a Red Text Emote that your raid will need to joust 25 meters to avoid.**
When Taltak spawns he will spawn with about 8 adds. These adds are called 'a barbaric zealot'. It will only make sense for your raid to kill all adds that pop but not this time. This fight is similar to Vaclaz from the hole in which you will NOT kill all of these adds.
If you kill all of his adds he will say something to the effect that these barbarian whelps are not putting up a fight and he will call his brother "Saaltak" to his aide. Once Saaltak arrives their powers will combine and the two mobs will go all Captain Planet on your raid.
Leave 3-4 of the barbarian adds up and off tank them away from the raid so they don't get AOE'd and accidentally killed. Concentrate all further dps on Taaltak only.
Taaltak does have a nasty knockback so be sure to talk about your raid placement prior to starting your event. Taaltak also will do a "red text" emote (need text). When you see this text it is time to get away from him quickly. If you are too slow in getting away he will first cast a Trauma AOE that will root you and then his Red Text Emote explosion ability called Blast of Rage will kill you. Taaltak will root himself when he does this ability so just joust about 25 meters away and then move back in when you see him unroot.
The fight is rather simple. It is very much like alot of the TSO fights where you had to joust encounters based on the red text. Just off tank the adds and deal with the knockback properly in your MT group.
Good Luck!

Challenge Version
--------------------------
The challenge version of this encounter is handled the same way as the normal version. The only major differences is the overall damage done by the named and the adds is higher.
Yep, had seen your post but when I went thru ACT the AE's were hitting mutiple toons for 50k plus when the mob was below 10%. This occured even when toons were at heal - dps distance. In the end we backed off >50m which seemed to avoid the problem, then burned after his second AE. Possibly some toons were ignoring instructions and getting too close but after third pull we were keeping a watchful eye on that!

Thank you Sanction.
