This is also posted on the Harvestgain board of the Turbine AC forums (Here) but I decided to post it here as well for people that might not use the Turbine boards.

Formations:

Ring - Mages form a circle around the Bell and spam ring spells. Archers stand under the Bell. Melees spread out in between the mages. Archers attack the farthest, melees attack the closest.

South - Everyone spreads out on the South end of the arena. For a lot of spawns it works well to be grouped loosely by the door and have 2 mages out in front ringing.

Clock - Everyone spreads out in a large circle around the bell on the blue ring on the arena floor.

Modified South (called as South) - Used for the Falatacot in Arena 15 and the Hands in Arena 16. Everyone groups by the South door. 1 designated mage moves north past the bell and casts Tusker Fists back towards the group. 1-2 mages by the south door cast TF towards the mage to the north. Melees and archers pick off any throwers that don't move into the path of TF.

SE Corner - Everyone stacks in the SE corner. (Some groups we will have 2 mages take "post" positions outside the corner and ring, but we don't always do that.)

Post - Mages in the SE Corner and 2 archers take the "post" positions to block the TMs. Melees attack from behind the TMs so they dont block TF.

By the Door - Fight by the North Exit Door. Used for the Elites only.

Needed Weapons:

Everyone:

Fire Rend (Undead Slayer)
Light Rend
Acid Rend (Optional)
Slash Rend
Blunt Rend (with Undead Slayer for mages)
Pierce Rend (Mukkir Slayer)
Upgraded Sing Weapons (Vslayers)
Paradox Olthoi Weapons
Soulbound Casting Staff

Mages:

CS Frost
CS Blunt
Tusker Paw Wand
Shadowfire Wand

Melees:

AR Frost
AR Pierce (Some Soulbound weapons will work as an AR pierce)
AR Slash (Only if your Sing weapon isn't slash damage, some Soulbound weapons will work as AR slash)

Archers:

Soubound Bow
Slash arrows to use with the Sing Bow
AR Frost (the Soulbound Bow with GY arrows works for this as well)

Notes:

Usually 1-2 archers/melees are designated to vuln in arena 16 (Swarm Demons) and 17 (Tuskers/Virindi). Demons get pierce vulned, Tuskers get Fire vulned, and the Virindi get Slash Vulned.

A melee/archer with a lense is also designated as an IMPer for several rooms. Primarily the carenzi in 13, the Vs in 14, the demons in 16, and the penguins in 17.

Note: The formation in a couple rooms (15b: Falatacot, 16a: Hands) can vary based on the fellows makeup. I will give instructions for them based on the fellow for each run.
