Going to check to see if Bitey has any strategies out for this thing yet, we are going to test later to see what works best. Seems pretty tough right now with the DOT

It is pretty tough. IOS hasn't gotten the update yet so I'm not sure about the boss. Take a look at my event guide to see what skills he had in beta testing. I'll update it once we get Yule for ios

Our observations:

1.) A strong off tank and a full support healer with Ice ward handle all of the adds away from the monolith group.
2.) within the offtank group, you can also have several DPS as long as the druid can handle chain casting natures breath on them and handle keeping the off tank up.
3.) Supposedly need a mage casting sacrifice on the main tank. This prevents the monolith from healing (not confirmed yet)
4.) Need a full support druid in all groups, with max breath, max ice ward, maybe max aura of abundance.
5.) Lots of DPS needed or this could take 6 hours to kill
6.) Pull the imps as far away as possible
7.) (maybe consider) one warrior watching for Replenish or Fortify and shield bash to stun

My thoughts on how this should be approached:
Image
Imps Skills
[*]Ice Burst - One target ice damage skill
[*]Siphon - Lose energy over time for 15 seconds
[*]Warmth - AoE fire ward

Boss Skills
[*]Replenish - Heal self for 10k (rumored that sacrifice on tank blocks this)
[*]Big Freeze - AoE ice DoT (Arctic Freeze)
[*]Decay - AoE reduce resistance to cold for 60 seconds (Chill)
[*]Fortify - Ice damage shield
[*]Call for help - Calls area adds

Completely unrealistic.


Your dps group needs to be frowny or angry faces. Support Druids pouty.





Also Druids should have sanc maxed as well it seems like.

How weak are the obelisks to ice? Maybe let the mages alt to ice, fire ward will be nullified then if the ice dps is still reasonable.

We had 2 druids.
1 on main tank and 1 on offtank/dps group. We used iceward for tank/offtank and dps. We used a spell to stop it from healing (ill expose when we kill, we failed at 5% left due to main tank dc after 1h 40m)

We had 3 dps only. Went smooth but need more. We will go today again. Hopefully kill it.

The skill used to counter heals is INCINERATE . U can easily figure out by reading description of replenish. I found about it here and told that to a guy from ur server fyi,lol, whether he told yall or u figured it out idk,but I don't find a reason to mask it from the other servers, especially considering this is a particularly hard boss.

You only had 3 dps for a 210 boss.... If that's the case I don't think this boss is that hard. If you failed at 5% with 3 dps you could have easily killed it with a reasonable amount of players.
