We will cast Infusion of Spirit on ourselves before we begin. That should help out greatly. We also have some curing options, too. Some are: Puratus (70/cleric), Crusader's Purity (67/paladin), Respendent Cure 3 (AA), Abolish Poison (48/cleric), Purify Soul (AA), Aria of Asceticism (45/bard).

Adds (eggs/spiders) spawn at 80, 60, 40, 20, and 10 percent. Clerics will run the cheal rotation (I'd like 3-4 clerics on the rotation [2-3 sec pause] and another one on PE duty) as soon as the adds spawn each time. We'll MGB HoTs as needed. The MT will stay on Volkara when the adds pop, so we'll need a MA as well. If we are far from the eggs, the spider adds spawn from OUR OWN corpses! So, we need to rez up ASAP if someone dies. No matter where we fight Volkara, the eggs will spawn, so no point trying to be clever to avoid the adds. The adds do despawn over a time, but still better to kill them I'd think. At 10% when the last eggs spawn, it would be possible to just burn Volkara down, though, and AE TL out. Then the adds will be gone when we go back to distribute loot.

Volkara also rampages, so we'll need a rampage tank, too. That is 3 tanks we will need. We also will need as many healers as we can possibly get. Volkara does not hit exceptionally hard, but max is approx. 1500, give or take depending on our MT's AC & AAs. 1 cleric on the MT when the adds are down should be sufficient, so the others can sit and med if needed, just be STANDING when the adds spawn again. Curing or resisting that Poison AE will be the deciding factor, I think. Without our DPS, this will be near impossible.

Loot: Those who are nearest to Tier 3 completion, will random on the Lava Spider Spinners (x8).
