Any time you plan on running this Trial with the Guild please make sure you are familiar with the bellow information and the strategies listed below for each boss. When you sign up you will receive a Role and it is important that you know what you are expected to do in that role. If you have any questions please reach out to your Raid Leader in advance.

Group Comp:

2 Tanks

2 Healers - Purge is required

8 DPS

Our Strat:

For this boss we will be splitting into 2 groups. Each group will have 1 Tank, 1 Healer and 4DPS. The tanks will pull each boss to the sides of the arena to keep them from tethering, this is important so that the bosses do not enrage. Each group will DPS down their boss, if one group kills their boss first then they will move to the other boss to kill it as well. During the fights there will be lots of purgeable stats effects, it is important that the Healers are Purging at ALL TIMES!

Mechanics:

• Shock Field

  • The boss will place this AOE under the tank, the group should not stand in it as it will kill you!

• Tail Balls

  • The boss will move its tail and spray out slow moving balls that will stun anyone it comes in contact with

  • if hit by this it will leave a purgeable dot on you

• Bleed

  • The boss will place a bleed on the tank that will also place a heal debuff

• Electric Beam

  • The bosses should not come near each other for more than 10 seconds or they will enrage

  • The beam does do damage, so avoid standing in it

• Headbang

  • the boss will knock the tank to the group and a DPS from the group will need to interrupt the boss before it kills the tank

• Spheres

  • the apply dots on players that can be purged. It is important that the Healers are running PURGE AT ALL TIMES!

  • Be sure to dodge the snipe mechanic that will oneshot you

  • if 8 spheres are up at the same time they will become enraged

• Firebugs

  • These can just be killed by cleave damage for AoE's

• Enrage

  • When one boss dies, the other become enraged. Damage is amplified, Keep Purging AT ALL TIMES!

Mechanics:

• Various Lighting Abilities

  • These will need to be dodged or blocked to reduce the amount of damage you take and to prevent being stunned.

• Staff Beam

  • A Channeled spell from the boss that deals damage and drains Magicka. INTERUPT THIS!

• Shock Meteors

  • Being hit by 3 of these will kill any player

• Centurion

  • Every 60 seconds it will activate for a period of time.

  • it will steam every 30 seconds, this will put a healing debuff on you and deal damage

• Shades 75% HP

  • Tank must stand still in the small green circle and face the shade that is causing the shockwave on them. Failure to do so will result in a bleed and the shockwave will kill those in its path.

• Sharpened Conduit (Pinion) - 60% HP

  • Conduit (Pinion) spawns and it must be killed immediately to prevent it from draining magicka

• Refabricated Centurion - 40% HP

  • Activates every 30 seconds

  • Can be taunted and kited around the room until it kills itself by a DPS or the Off Tank

Mechanics:

• Shield

  • Makes the boss immune to damage and kills players who touch it

  • Adds in the shield take reduced damage

• Stun Phase

  • In order to damage the boss you must press the button which will activate a laser. When the boss walks through the laser its shield will temporarily disappear for a time allowing you to damage him.

  • Pre-place your dots so that they are all already ticking when the boss is stunned and his shield comes down

  • Boss move speed will increase each time you stun it

• Adds

  • Work on the adds as you wait for the boss to get to the next stun point. after the boss shield is down, bring the adds on top of the boss so they are cleaved down by the ults and aoe being dropped on the stunned boss

• Blades

  • Blades will move along the walkway and put bleeds on anyone they pass through

• Shock Attack

  • Do not move too far from the boss or it will shoot shock darts at you and likely kill you

Mechanics:

• Lightning Leash

  • If the bosses get close to each other they will become connected by a beam of lightning

  • Keep them apart until the following phases

• Enrage at 69% 39% 19%

  • Kill bosses evenly so they hit enrage at the same time

  • Bring all 3 bosses together just before they hit those percentages so that they are stunned as they pass through the enrage percentage windows

  • Immediately separate them from each other and damage them down evenly to the 39% and then repeat at 19%

• Triplets

  • Reclaimer

    • Stands in the middle and has a shield that will kill anyone who touches it

    • Spawns mobs that will charge at random players and blow up if they are not killed immediately

    • Drain Shock will be cast on random players as a ground dot that drains magicka if you are hit by it

  • Reducer

    • Sends out fireballs that put a very painful but purgeable dot on group members it hits

  • Reactor

    • sends out damage waves away from itself that eventually leave AOE on the ground that will grab you and pull you down

  • 25%

    • Mobs will spawn and blow up where they spawned. Find a spot where they are not spawning to safely avoid the damage from them for the rest of the battle

  • Execute 19%

    • Just before all 3 bosses hit 19% bring them together so they get stunned at 19%.

    • The tanks must take the Reducer and the reactor away from the reclaimer to prevent them from hitting 15% hp and enraging

    • Focus down the reclaimer first to prevent him from spawning more exploding mobs

  • Execute 15%

    • At 15% the two remaining bosses will tether together enraging both of them

    • At this point focus them down one at a time

Mechanics:

• Stomp

  • Will knock group members back if they do not block this

• Meteors will fall on the group. Players can spread out a little to reduce the amount of damage they take from overlapping aoe’s

• Right Blade Arm

  • The off tank will stand on the bosses right, our left to deal with the blade arm

• Repair Phases 85% 65% and 45%

  • Every time the boss loses both arms he will return to the middle to repair

  • When the boss walks to the middle the group must get off the top to avoid the damage up there

  • Do not attack the boss during this phase it will send damage back out to the group

  • 4 spheres will spawn, one in each corridor. the group must kill at least 2 spheres before returning to the top to put damage on the boss. Each sphere that is killed will reduce the damage the boss deals

• Adds – 90%, 87% & 70%, 67% & 50% 47% & 30%, 27%

  • Taking too long to kill the adds will result in more adds spawning

  • Hold them on boss or pull them aside to kill them safely. Your call

  • Kill the adds at 30/27% before pushing boss into execute

• Facsimile

  • If players die, a copy a player will spawn

• Execute Phase – 25%

  • The boss will return to the middle and begin raining meteors down on all of the players. The players cannot overlap the AOE damage or they will die

  • Adds may spawn if you take too long, tanks should grab them off the dps and hold them

• Hardmode

  • No new mechanics. Everything hurts more. More adds spawn
