Team Building
Composition matters significantly for this fight. Here's the optimal setup.
Tank
High survivability to maintain aggro. Priority on defensive buffs.
Healer
Essential for keeping team alive. Needs cleanse capability.
DPS 1
Main damage dealer. Focus on burst windows.
DPS 2
Sustained damage for phase transitions.
Key Mechanics
Understanding these mechanics is crucial for success.
Phase Transitions
Boss becomes briefly vulnerable during transitions (3 seconds). This is your window for maximum burst damage.
Reality Tears
Tears spawn in corners of arena. DPS must destroy them within 15 seconds or they explode for massive damage.
Enrage Mode
If enrage timer triggers, boss deals 300% more damage. Focus on survival until burst cooldowns are ready.
Buff Orbs
Green orbs spawn periodically. Healer should collect first, then DPS. These provide significant combat power.
Pro Tips
Positioning
Keep the boss near center to minimize travel time for mechanics. Tank should face boss away from party.
Damage Check
If you haven't reached Phase 4 by 12 minutes, your DPS is too low. Consider improving gear.
Consumables
Use damage potions before Phase 4. Bring extra revives - deaths are common in final phase.
Communication
Call out targets for orbs and tears. Voice chat highly recommended for coordinated play.
Conclusion
The Final Boss requires patience, practice, and perfect coordination. Don't get discouraged if you fail multiple times.
