Strategy[]
Everyone needs to avoid standing in Cave in.
- Equipping Swords:
- Tank and Healer should use cooldowns as tank takes heavy damage on this phase.
- Healer should focus on tank DPS should not be getting hit.
- Equipping Mace:
- Tank needs to run away or he will pancake you, he spawns a continuous lava void zone behind him when he walks.
- Melee DPS needs to carefully not to pull aggro, as that will likely lead to death.
- Members will be randomly impaled by boss, and need extra heals.
- Equipping Shield:
- Healer needs to AOE heal, due to the Flaming Arrows and Shield Wall of Flame. It is suggested that the group remains stacked together during this fight so they can move all together. Standing directly behind the boss allows you to walk straight through him for the quickest path to avoid the change in direction of the flame wall
