Key Mechanics

  • Shadow Aura: The boss maintains an active aura that periodically deals minor shadow damage to all players within a 45 yd range.Shadowbolt Volley: If the main tank moves out of a designated circle around the boss, the boss starts to spam Shadowbolt Volley.
  • [NEW] Chaos Bolt: Periodically, the boss casts Chaos Bolt, a spell that bypasses all resistances, on the main tank.Void Tentacles: Throughout the fight, the boss summons void tentacles that fire shadow bolts at random raid members.Heralds: These adds will periodically spawn and use Sunder Armor and Knockback on the target tanking them. They can be crowd-controlled. If killed near the boss, they cause the boss to take 25% additional damage for 35 seconds, stacking.Dark Minions: At 75%, 50%, and 25% health, the boss summons a ring of Dark Minions. These minions slowly move towards the boss. If they reach him, they increase his damage and size by 2% per minion. These cannot be crowd-controlled and they do put out some small periodic damage.Arcane Blast At 75% health the boss begins to periodically cast Arcane Blast on the raid.Fear: At 50% health, the boss will start to occasionally cast Fear on the main tank in an attempt to get him out of the ring.Dark Chaos: At 25%, the boss casts Dark Chaos every 30 seconds. This spell puts a debuff on all raid members that absorbs 1800 healing before normal healing resumes.Enrage: After 6 minutes, the boss will enrage, significantly increasing its damage output.

Raid Pointers

  • [PVE] Stay Close: The main tank should stay within the ring to avoid triggering Shadowbolt Volley spam while healers keep an eye out for Chaos Bolt damage spikes.Tentacle Management: A group of DPS should prioritize killing Void Tentacles to reduce random damage on the raid.Control the Heralds: Use CCs like stuns, slows, and roots on the Heralds and try to kill them near the boss to maximize damage. You may want to consider killing more than one at the same time to push through various phases.Dark Minion Strategy: When Dark Minions appear, DPS should move to intercept and kill them before they reach the boss.Fear Management: Healers and support classes with fear dispelling abilities should be ready to dispel the main tank immediately when Fear is cast.Dark Chaos: Healers should be prepared to heal Dark Chaos as quickly as possible to resume normal healing.
