Strategy Guide

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • Single Phase encounter with a lot of adds. Adds need to die before reaching the center of the room.

  • Bring the boss around the room to different Fountains. Fountains spawn different add types and add different mechanics. The boss will be empowered by the two closest ones.

  • Keep moving the boss around to different Fountains. He gets a buff to that type each time he is empowered by that Fountain.

Heroic Changes
  • A new mechanic sometimes creates soak circles.

  • Burning Venom adds apply a raidwide stacking DOT debuff when they die.
