Ashenback
Ashenback is a fire dragon. Before engaging clear the pool directly above him because every 5 to 10 seconds during the fight an emote goes off:
Magma cradles begin to rise up from the upper pool of lava.
This signals that an egg has spawned above. It needs to be destroyed (use blunt weapons) or an add will hatch and add to the fight.
Additionally every 40 seconds Ashenback will give one of four directional emotes:
- Ashenback raises his left arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to his right side to avoid AE.
- Ashenback raises his right arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to his left side to avoid AE.
- Ashenback rears back and inhales, preparing to unleash a blast of molten magma - Move behind to avoid AE.
- Ashenback begins to lash his tail, preparing to attack the pests behind him - Move to front to avoid AE.
Failure to move results in around 3-5000 damage. Lastly he has AE rampage and a very short range PBAE stun/dot.
He drops 6 Dragon Tooth of Ashenback for progression and 1 of the following:
-
Shar`Drahn
Shar`Drahn is a storm dragon. Every 40 seconds Shar`Drahn will give one of four directional emotes:
- Shar`Drahn raises his left arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to his right side to avoid AE.
- Shar`Drahn raises his right arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to his left side to avoid AE.
- Shar`Drahn rears back and inhales, preparing to unleash a cone of tempest winds - Move behind to avoid AE.
- Shar`Drahn begins to lash his tail, preparing to attack the pests behind him - Move to front to avoid AE.
Failure to move results in around 3-5000 damage. During the fight wisps will spawn and path towards the dragon, if they reach him a 5k AE goes off. The wisps can be mezzed and despawn when Shar`Drahn dies. Lastly he has AE rampage and a very short range PBAE stun/dot.
He drops 6 Dragon Tooth of Shar`Drahn for progression and 1 of the following:
-
Tsikut
Tsikut is an ice dragon and starts the fight by casting Blizzard Chill, a 25% snare, 10% melee slow, and 200 cr debuff. No counters, so best bet is a Radiant Cure or a shaman Pure spirit.
Every 40 seconds Tsikut will give one of four directional emotes (note her not his):
- Tsikut raises her left arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to her right side to avoid AE.
- Tsikut raises her right arm, preparing to rake his enemies - Move to her left side to avoid AE.
- Tsikut rears back and inhales, preparing to unleash a cone of ice - Move behind to avoid AE.
- Tsikut begins to lash her tail, preparing to attack the pests behind him - Move to front to avoid AE.
Failure to move results in around 3-5000 damage. Every 90 seconds she casts Curse of Ice on a number of players. It has 36 curse counters and if not cured in 30 seconds you get hit for 8000 and a 10 second stun. Lastly she has AE rampage and a very short range PBAE stun/dot.
He drops 6 Dragon Tooth of Tsikut for progression and 1 of the following:
-
Porthio the Second Born
Porthio is the boss of Relic and is found in the east area of the zone with Nightshade. The two are agro linked and leashed to the area. Porthio is a scrykin so it casts Deafening Gibberish, a debuff to mitigation, and Resonating Screech, a PBAE 250 attack debuff. It hits for up to 5k range, slowable.
Throughout the fight he commands Nightshade to attack a random player. At this point Nightshade instantly memblurs and speeds towards the target. If he reaches them he locks agro on them until they are dead so it is critical that melee gain agro instantly to prevent this. To complicate matters Nightshade has a very short range AE rampage so if he gets into a pack of players he can do some serious damage. Furthermore Nightshade has two AE's, Nightshade's Aura and Nightshade's Fury. Both are only 18 sec duration, but they overwrite the druid "oak" line, so get conviction instead. These are not true AE spells, but at this time I'm not sure of how it chooses targets. The aura isn't bad, 100 hp/tick and 50 mana, but the fury is horrid with 1000 hp and mana loss per tick.
One strategy is to pull Porthio into a corner while a group of knights surround Nightshade to the side. The knights fight for agro so when it blurs one of them should pick it up before it runs to fresh target. The raid focuses DPS on Porthio and takes him down then turns on Nightshade. Once Porthio is dead Nightshade stops blurring and can be single tanked.
Nightshade drops 20 Fragment of Porthio`s Shadow Staff for progression, Porthio drops 3 Black Orb of Porthio the Second and 2 of the following:
