Guide - Stratégie

FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • The Dark Animus is defeated by managing Anima transfers to the correct Golems at the correct times.

  • Start by killing Anima Golems to empower Massive Anima Golems, aiming to kill as many Golems as fast as possible (except a few that are kept alive) to prevent The Dark Animus from gaining too much Anima from Siphon Anima.

  • Healers need to manage position swaps through dispelling Matter Swap and keep overall raid healing high in answer to permanent DoTs.

  • Avoid Slams and Fonts, help your tank with Rings, and avoid being interrupted by Jolts.

Heroic Changes
  • The fight starts with 152 anima rather than 100 because Dark Animus is activated on pull, starting with 52 anima.

  • Anima Ring will deal damage and debuff the tank.

  • The lowest health Golem will be healed every 16 seconds through Empower Golem. This can be baited onto the smallest Anima Golems by keeping them alive at low health.

Anima Golems

The room is filled with inactive Anima Golems of various sizes.


They cannot act or use abilities without Anima. Anima capacity depends on the golem; the bigger ones can hold more.


Defeating an Anima Golem causes the Anima it had to transfer to the closest golem with enough room.

TANKS

WATCH YOUR DEBUFF STACKS

PARTAGER
Explosive Slam
Massive Anima Golem

Massive Golems slam the ground, dealing massive Fire damage to the tank and all players within 9 yards.


Also increases damage taken by further Slams for 25 seconds.


Tanks can either immune stacks off or rely on one of the other tanks to help them drop stacks.

DISPEL

AROUND 5 STACKS

Play Button
PARTAGER
Matter Swap
Massive Anima Golem

Debuff linking a player and their furthest ally, try to bait by standing far away to avoid swapping tanks.


This should be dispelled at 5 stacks so that each player takes 50% of their maximum health, as it increases from 0 to 100% over 10 seconds.


When this is removed, they will swap places.

PARTAGER
Acceleration Link

When two Small Anima Golems are close, they link together and gain 250% increased attack speed and damage done.


They also gain 30% movement speed and are immune to slows.


Everyone but the tanks should only take one add max to prevent this.

PARTAGER
Crimson Wake
Large Anima Golem

A line of anima that follows a random player for 30 seconds, dealing heavy Fire damage on impact.


With the modern tactic, a raid should never allow a Large Anima Golem to be powered up, and shouldn't have to worry about this mechanic.

PARTAGER
Evasive
Anima Golems

Golems are Evasive, reducing damage taken from AoE 90%.


You need to single target DPS them down.

Dark Animus

When Dark Animus activates, it starts draining Anima from all active golems, empowering itself and enabling new abilities.


As Animus gains Anima, it unlocks various mechanics and accelerates toward Full Power.

PARTAGER
Siphon Anima
Add Management

The Dark Animus periodically drains 1 Anima from all nearby golems.


The fewer golems alive, the less Anima is drained.

MODE HÉROÏQUE
PARTAGER
Empower Golem
Add Management

The Dark Animus targets the active golem with the least health, healing it for 3% and increasing its damage by 24% until the fight ends.


This can be baited onto the smallest Anima Golems by leaving them alive at low health and then finishing them off.

PARTAGER
Touch of the Animus
Healer Mechanic

Applies a permanent DoT to a random player, dealing Fire damage every 4 seconds until the fight ends.

Anima Mechanics

As Dark Animus gains higher Anima, he unlocks new abilities.


Make sure to control the rate he gains Anima through the fight to the most dangerous mechanics for as long as possible.

IF ASSIGNED

SOAK AN ORB TO CREATE ESCAPE ROUTE

CHANGEMENTS EN HÉROÏQUE
PARTAGER
Anima Ring
Tank Mechanic

At 25 anima, Dark Animus summons rings of anima orbs around the tank.


If the tank takes one of the orbs, they will take 200% increased melee damage for 15 seconds.


A player with an immunity (Like Cloak of Shadows or Anti-Magic Shell), or a melee player, should take one of the orbs so the tank can escape the circle.


On Heroic, this also deals moderate Fire damage for the duration.

IF DEBUFFED

MOVE AWAY

PARTAGER
Anima Font
Spread

At 50 anima, players with Touch of the Animus will start to be infected with Anima Font, causing them to splash anima around them every second.


Enemies hit by this anima will take massive Fire damage.

PARTAGER
Interrupting Jolt

At 75 anima, The Dark Animus releases a blast that deals Arcane damage to the entire raid and interrupts spellcasting.


Raid cooldowns should be used to cover this Jolt that comes roughly every 25 seconds.

PARTAGER
FULL POWER
Hard Enrage

At 100 anima, Dark Animus unleashes Full Power, dealing lethal damage to the raid.
