This boss can go very well or can be a complete mess. It is relatively straight forward for most but co-ordination during certain phases is very important so that people don’t kill each other. The boss should be tanked turned AWAY from the group at all times!

Siphon Hemoglobin – Throughout the fight adds will come into the room and expose the Hemoglobin orbs (which you can also do yourself with a synergy). These adds will explode when the orb is exposed as they sacrifice themselves (in the video they were bugged and stuck in the door). When the Orbs are exposed the boss will try to channel from them. You MUST heavy attack the orb and get rid of it. If you do not do it in time the room will explode in massive damage and you will wipe.

Cleave – The boss has a heavy attack and cleave mechanic and you MUST block this as the tank, a dps will die to it so be careful. Do not make the boss face the group at any time because this will cause massive problems trying to find room to resurrect people it kills.

Adds – During the fight lots of basic trash adds will come into the room. The tank should try to stack these on the boss if possible and if your group dps is relatively low you should probably try to focus them over the boss. The ranged targets will require interrupts when they channel so be careful not to get stuck in the aoes they fire if you miss the interrupts.

Adds – Blood Puddle is much like the one in Spindleclutch II. The boss will transform into a puddle on the ground and follow the person whom last had agro (should be the tank) simply stand still and block this. the damage the puddle does will heal the boss, and while blocking the damage he can do is much less hence the heal being not so strong. This only lasts a few seconds but be careful as he usually comes out of it with a heavy attack.

Shield – This is just like the shield on the first boss in Maw Of Lorkhaj, at 90% ,60%, and 30% health, he will raise his hands and a shield will be spinning around him. The only way to remove it, is to kill it. During this phase the group will take damage every tick getting more aggressive until it peaks then will continuously do damage to each player. Each player has their own aoe and you must NOT overlap else they will of course do damage to more than one player at a time (each has their own, overlap increases damage, pretty simple).

The trick to this is to simply circle the boss formation wise, while the healer keeps healing and the group does as much damage as possible. Once the shield is removed, the fight continues as normal.

NOTE: this shield has a health amount, your dps doesn’t have to be HIGH but if you are going to take a long time, your healer will need to work hard to keep you up. So the faster the better (video of me killing it with a tank! lol ).

This Boss can be simple but also a bit messy in pugs. There are many mechanics that should already be familiar if you have gotten this far but it is very important that you pay attention to them. Also it is a very mobile fight. The tank should TRY to stack the melee on top of the ranged boss to keep things simple and damage can be then distributed to both bosses evenly, but if this is not possible just be sure that you have BOTH taunted at all times just in case. Above all if you had to chose a target individually. FOCUS Nisaazda as much as possible. Once she is down it is pretty easy.

Fus Ro DAH! – Grundwulf will shout Fus Ro DAH! and shout in a straight line doing huge damage to anyone caught inside of it. This is very easy to see. Simply don’t stand in it but if you get caught, be sure to block.

Heavy Attack – Grundwulf will heavy attack whoever has aggro (should be the tank) Block this attack or you will die. If you are a dps or healer however you need to dodge roll it on time as you will not survive blocking it.

Teleport – Nisaazda does NOT stand still. She will teleport from one side of the room to the other, keep track of her at all times. Usually after a teleport, mechanics follow because you are so far away!

Channeled attacks – Nisaazda will cast channeled attacks that will fire rapid shots at the group which MUST be interrupted.

Ghosts – hosts should be taunted by the tank and they can ONLY be killed if someone hits them with a red Hemoglobin Orb. They are invulnerable if they are not debuffed by the red orb.

Blood circle – During the fight a MASSIVE red circle of blood will be cast into the room. Stay out of this at all costs and keep the BOSS out of it. If you touch it you will take huge damage, and if the boss touches it they will DEAL large damage (enrage).

Gargoyle – Nisaazda will try to do a completely different type of channeling which cannot be interrupted by the regular “interrupt” type movements/abilities. Instead you MUST hit her with the red Hemoglobin orb and stop her doing it. If you do not, you will make her spawn a rather large gargoyle. If this happens the tank must taunt it fast and you need to focus it down. If this runs loose it will melt through players!

TIP: Keep the bosses close, stay on interrupts, hit the red orb often and kill Nisaazda fast so the fight gets much less complicated sooner.
