Ra-den the Despoiled
General Strat
- Boss will be tanked in mid with the raid behind the boss loosely stacked.
- There will be 3 portals in the arena that spawn orbs (2 in heroic). We must dps down one of the orbs everytime they spawn. Not killing an orb is an instant wipe. When an orb hit the boss, he casts a certain ability and spawns an add based on which hit him.
- It is important to not get hit by multiple abilities within 30s of one another due to Instability Exposure. For example, if you soak a bouncing missile, you need to not get hit by a vita laser. If you just vita lasered, you need to avoid getting the Unstable Nightmare debuff by being too close to them when they pop.
- The above means we need to avoid minging the debuff zones together and be clear as to where we are going when we get a debuff.
- Nightmare Orb hits boss (Mythic) = Shoots missiles at players that hits anyone with 5 yards, a debuff that is applied to a player that needs to run out with their circles (dealing damage to anyone near) that then jumps to the closest player, and a nightmare add that shoots a pillar of fire that follows a player.
- Vita Orb hits boss = Aoe Nature damage right away, A debuff that shoots a laser between the main player and the farthest from them which then gives the second player the debuff, and a Vita add that spam casts Chain Lightning at a player and anyone near.
- Void Orb hits boss = Healing shield that needs to be healed off the raid, a bouncing missile that needs to be soaked, and a void add that casts a meteor on a player that the raid needs to help soak.
- Nightmare + Vita = Lightning bois at the back sides that zap across the room and Nightmare circle bois avoid lightning bois and bounce the circle debuff around near melee.
- Nightmare + Void = Void soak debuff in, Nightmare circles out.
- Vita + Void = Lightning bois at the back sides zapping across the room while avoiding the people soaking the bouncing missile with Void Soak Debuffs running into the group.
Phase 2 begins at 40%. It is a burn phase where the raid will mostly be near the boss.
- Healers need to allow tanks to ride around half hp just before Decaying Strike. After being hit, the tank will have a dot based on what their hp was during the time of the strike. Higher health on the strike = more damage.
- There will be swirlies you need to avoid.
- If you get Charged Bonds, you are chained to another player. Quickly run away from them until your chain snaps then return to the raid.
- In mythic, there is a Corrupted Existence debuff that will go out on 3 players. If they reach max hp they die so healers need to avoid them if possible and the debuffed players need to avoid using health pot/stone.
