Strategy

• First Phase

There are 4 idols that spawn at the start of this phase, 1 in each corner. These link lightning bolts that tick for 1.2k damage on DPS between eachother. If you cannot see them, never stand in between them. The patterns they form are usually a square and a X.

The birds will be picked up by one tank, and the other tank will try their best to maintain ranged threat on the the Air Nexus. The birds should be pulled far out of the center to avoid them debuffing the raid. Healers will most likely have to move in close to the center to be in healing range.

All DPS should pick up the sourcestones in the center for the 30% damage buff they provide whenever they are available. These spawn throughout all rift phases.

• Second Phase

The idols will still be up in this phase, so it is recommended that you tank them outside of the rift. This is a tank and spank phase, just don’t get cleaved.

• Third Phase

Storm Idols are still up in this phase.

Both Stormlords should be marked, and one should be designated as the primary DPS target. When target #1 gets low, DPS will swap to the other and kill it. Immediately after, they will finish off DPS target #1.

• Fourth Phase:

Idols now despawn. It is best to have each tank pick up 1 group and AoE them down in the center of the rift.

• Fifth Phase

Ruciath will be picked up, keeping him facing away from the raid. Melee will position themselves on the side of him at max melee range to prevent getting randomly instagibbed (he likes to do that) and tail swiped.

The other tank will grab adds as they spawn and tank them off to the side. No DPS needs to be assigned to these, as they despawn when Ruciath summons more.

Tank Damage: Fairly high during most phases but the first and third.

Raid Damage: Most damage is avoidable, except for the first phase. Damage is extremely high in the first phase.
