Wait. There’s a team wiping mechanic? When does that kick in? Cruel didn’t even warn us about that.

Pffff, that’s cause I knew we’d crush it first try ;p

Actual answer: Remember when I said I didn’t even really understand the mechanics of the encounter? Yeah... lol

You crushed it, he was right, no worries.

You know that table in the middle of the room? It glows, once the fight starts? That's a cleansing table.

If you pick up the balls, but DON'T kill her before the time runs out, you will die... unless you get on that table. That will clear the buff (and keep you from dying when it expires).

That glow disappears once you destroy the first crystal. (You crushed it, so you never saw the crystals... but if you don't kill the knights fast enough, they become immune, and when this happens, a giant crystal spawns behind the boss. In order to remove their immunity and do more damage to the knights, you need to destroy the crystal, which has 3 effects: the knights' immunity vanishes, the table stops glowing (so you can't remove the buff a second time), and the psions spawn again.

Since everyone gets the buff at the same time, the only way to avoid a team wipe, if you fail to kill her in the SECOND round, is for one team member to die (and be revived) before the timer runs out. Death, also, clears the buff (and the timer). ;)

So if you're doing it right, you never see any of this stuff... because all 3 knights go down together, your team gets a 3x buff, the boss gets wiped out with 8 whisper shots (or the equivalent). But if you're NOT doing it right, it gets harder and harder to kill her.
