Boss Fights

Halkias, the Sin-Stained Goliath

Overview: A positioning-heavy fight with a shrinking safe zone. Stay within the boss’s circle to avoid fears and manage Glass Shards.

Key Mechanics:

Sinlight Visions: Magic debuff fearing players outside the boss’s 20-yard circle every few seconds. Stay inside; dispel if caught outside briefly.

Crumbling Slam: 6-yard AoE on tank, spawning Glass Shards (puddles slowing movement by 30% and dealing damage). Place over existing puddles to save space.

Heave Debris: 6-yard circle under a random player, spawning Glass Shards. Bait near existing puddles.

Refracted Sinlight: At 100 energy, four beams rotate around the boss for 15 seconds, switching directions randomly. Dodge beams; move the boss to clear space if needed.

Strategy:

Tanks: Stay inside the circle, stack Crumbling Slam puddles, and use defensives.

DPS: Bait Heave Debris near existing puddles, dodge Refracted Sinlight beams.

Healers: Heal group-wide sonic damage from Crumbling Slam and Heave Debris. Dispel Sinlight Visions if players are caught outside.

Move the boss proactively to avoid running out of space.

Echelon

Overview: A fight with add management and positioning. Clear Undying Stonefiends with Stone Shattering Leap to avoid being overwhelmed.

Key Mechanics:

Blood Torrent: 6-yard puddle under a random player. Bait near existing puddles and avoid.

Stone Call: Summons six Undying Stonefiends from room gates. Tanks pick them up; interrupt their Villainous Bolt casts.

Undying Stonefiends: At 0 health, trigger Volatile Transformation (AoE damage) and regenerate to full health over 30 seconds unless destroyed by Stone Shattering Leap.

Flesh to Stone: At 100 energy, slows a non-tank player by 25% per second, stunning them (and nearby players within 5 yards) after 5 seconds.

Stone Shattering Leap: Targets the stunned player, dealing 8-yard AoE damage, applying a DoT, and destroying regenerating Stonefiends in the area. Position near regenerating Stonefiends to clear them.

Strategy:

Tanks: Position centrally to pick up Stonefiends. Face Blood Torrent away.

DPS: Interrupt Villainous Bolt, CC stragglers, and position Flesh to Stone targets near regenerating Stonefiends for Stone Shattering Leap.

Healers: Heal Blood Torrent and Volatile Transformation overlaps. Move away from Flesh to Stone targets.

Spread loosely but stay near Stonefiends for efficient clears.

High Adjudicator Aleez

Overview: A fight centered on managing Ghostly Parishioners by kiting them into Vessels of Atonement. Handle DoTs and interrupts carefully.

Key Mechanics:

Anima Bolt: Interruptible tank hit. Assign rotations.

Unstable Anima: DoT on two players, cleaving allies within 5 yards every 2 seconds for 14 seconds. Spread and dispel one player quickly (Warlock imp dispel or Dwarf racial can help).

Spectral Procession: Spawns a Ghostly Parishioner in the room’s center, fixating a random player and dealing increasing shadow damage to the group. Kite it into one of four Vessels of Atonement (corners) to seal it. Closed vessels respawn slowly (one at a time later).

Anima Fountain: Avoid 5-yard circles dealing shadow damage.

Strategy:

Tanks: Interrupt Anima Bolt and position near vessels.

DPS: Kite Ghostly Parishioner to an open vessel quickly. Interrupt Anima Bolt when possible.

Healers: Dispel one Unstable Anima target, heal the other. Top off for Spectral Procession.

Position near vessels but avoid standing directly on them to allow kiting.

Lord Chamberlain

Overview: A complex fight with statue management, frontal attacks, and a high-damage combo at 70% and 40% health.

Key Mechanics:

Telekinetic Toss: Throws a statue in a line, dealing AoE damage if it hits another statue. Dodge and avoid aiming at other statues.

Unleashed Suffering: Frontal on a random player. Dodge the line.

Erupting Torment: Circles around the boss and four statues. Avoid them.

Ritual of Woe (70% and 40%): Teleports to the room’s center, pulls statues in, and channels for 10 seconds, shooting beams at all four statues (ticking raid damage). Intercept beams with one player (e.g., tank with defensives) to reduce group damage. Two players with personals can split beams, or one with immunity can take two.

Strategy:

Tanks: Intercept two Ritual of Woe beams with defensives. Dodge Unleashed Suffering.

DPS: Avoid Telekinetic Toss and Erupting Torment. Position for Ritual of Woe to minimize movement.

Healers: Ramp for Ritual of Woe and heal beam interceptors. Spot-heal Unleashed Suffering targets.

Stay spread to avoid statue bounce damage.
