FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • Fight in 3 phases. Each phase, the boss divides the room in sections with walls that break line of sight. 

  • A lot of the boss' abilities break walls and allow players to move in the room.

  • In P1, change sections when one gets filled with lava. P1 ends when boss drops to 60% HP.

  • In P2, new walls spawn. The boss summons 3 adds. Kill them to start P3 before the boss' massive casts kill you.

  • In P3, new walls. The boss turns walls into portals that summon adds.

  • In P3, go into portals to survive the boss' massive blast. Kill the boss before there aren't any walls or portals left.

General Aberrus By Causese

A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).

Co Tank Weakaura By Causese

Another must have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.


Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
