LOIO: Ominous Events

Note: You will receive an emote stating that this is a solo event - you cannot be in a group or raid. If you are group bugged, the option to enter the portal will not appear and will have to hit "disband" before trying again. The emote also states to cancel any levitation spells.

You will get teleported into a cave to the north and command a tank, a healer, and a wizard in a turn-based battle against an out of control machine. You will get a green emote when each is ready for their turn - target them and hail to get options. The healer can heal, group heal, haste, or empower, while the wizard has 10 spell options of 5 elemental types. Find the spell that does the most damage and keep casting it on the robot. When it emotes find the spell type that is strong against the robots current element - anything else will do reduced damage, and the same element will heal it. Although it states that Focus Effect from your worn items will affect the spells from the fighters, it seems that it does not affect.

You may find it helpful to make multiple macro keys to /target NPC, /hail, and #- for example:

/target A Resistance Fighter
/pause 1,/hail
/pause 1,#2

The event is timed, so if you don't do enough damage you will either be killed or if you dodge the killing blow, everything will despawn and you'll have to gate out. The first victory will award 1,000,000 exp, while each subsequent will award about 250,000. The event is repeatable until you obtain the desired loot.
