The Fallen Foreman – Darkshade Caverns II Boss

Overview

The Fallen Foreman is encountered in Darkshade Caverns II . The boss itself is very simple, but there are numerous enemies in the room and one major mechanic that can wipe the group if it is ignored.

The tank should position the boss in the centre of the room, maintain aggro and pull in as many of the additional enemies as possible. General AOE damage can deal with these quickly, but the group must watch for archers attempting to channel abilities and interrupt them.

Mechanics

Adds – There are lots of additional enemies to deal with during the fight. The tank should pull in and control as many as possible while the group uses general AOE damage to kill them. Pay particular attention to the archers and interrupt them if they begin channeling abilities.

Fireball – A simple basic attack that should primarily be directed at the tank. Blocking will prevent it from becoming any real threat, and its damage is generally low enough to be easily managed.

Spinning Flames – This is the major mechanic of the fight and can wipe an entire group if players do not pay attention. The boss raises his staff into the air and slowly spins a flame ability around himself through 360 degrees.

Players must avoid being touched by the rotating flames. You can follow the attack around from behind or stay ahead of it and circle around the boss. Do not attempt to stand through the mechanic. Focus on its position and continue moving around the boss until the flames have passed.

Tips & Strategy

• Tank: Keep the boss central, maintain aggro and pull in as many of the additional enemies as possible.
• DPS: Use AOE damage to clear the additional enemies and stay alert for the rotating Spinning Flames.
• Healer: Keep the group supported while remaining clear of Spinning Flames.
• Everyone: Interrupt channeling archers and never allow Spinning Flames to touch you. Follow behind it or stay ahead and circle the boss.
