Engine Garrison (Mech Army) – Darkshade Caverns II Boss

Overview

Engine Garrison (Mech Army) is encountered in Darkshade Caverns II . This is a large wave of Dwarven enemies rather than a traditional single boss fight, and the group can quickly become overwhelmed if the machines are allowed to spread around the room.

The tank should gather as many enemies as possible while the group stays together and burns them down with AOE damage. Interrupts are extremely important because some of the Dwarven machines can empower the others if their channels are allowed to complete.

Mechanics

Mech Army – A large number of Dwarven machines enter the fight. The tank should gather and control as many as possible rather than allowing them to chase different members of the group around the room.

Keep the enemies tightly grouped so the DPS can use AOE damage to hit multiple targets at once. Running around and spreading the machines apart makes the fight considerably harder to control.

Empower – Some of the Dwarven machines will begin channeling an ability that empowers the other enemies. Watch carefully for these channels and interrupt them immediately.

Allowing the channel to complete makes the remaining machines much more dangerous and can cause the group to become overwhelmed. Interrupting these mechanics while continuing to burn down the grouped enemies is the key to keeping the fight under control.

Tips & Strategy

• Tank: Gather and control as many of the Dwarven machines as possible and keep them grouped together.
• DPS: Use AOE damage on the grouped enemies and interrupt any machines attempting to empower the others.
• Healer: Stay with the group and be ready for increasing incoming damage if an empower channel gets through.
• Everyone: Stay together, avoid spreading the machines around the room and interrupt their channels as quickly as possible.
