Stormfist – Tempest Island Boss

Stormfist Boss - Tempest Island

Overview

Stormfist is encountered in Tempest Island . This boss is quite possibly the most fun encounter in this dungeon. He doesn’t have too much health but one of the mechanics is a bit of a laugh if you “accidentally” get caught (guilty, if I know it won’t kill me I sometimes stand in it on purpose for fun...but I wouldn’t recommend it until you have high resists!

The tank should position this boss in the center and turn it away from the group and the rest of the group should stay behind the boss and NOT run around.

Mechanics

Fist – The boss will occasionally punch the ground and then a LARGE grabbing hand will spawn out of the ground into a fist and crush whoever is inside of it. The AOE of this is quite small and should be easy to step out of and avoid. This will stun but the tank can block it and/or break free if caught.

Minions – Periodically the boss will spawn smaller versions of himself. They do run quite fast so the tank needs to be on the ball with these and grab them fast without moving the boss if possible. If they chase you as a DPS or healer don’t panic, they do not hurt much and the damage they throw can be blocked. So if they are on you, block for a bit until the tank has control and all should be fine. They die fast to AOE damage so do NOT run away.

Stomp!! – One of the most fun mechanics in the game in my opinion. The boss will raise his foot and a rapidly spreading AOE will appear. Now, this is very important. IF you are unfamiliar with the fight, new to the game, and/or have low CP/resists...get out of this as fast as possible and then get back in again when it is gone. Coordination is key and if you get caught you will take a LOT of damage. This will throw you into the AIR! and stun you as well. BUT if I am honest, if you have high resists or around 300+ CPs with well-placed resist CPs, you can survive it and it is a lot of fun to be flung up into the sky! Note: you didn’t read that here!

Enrage – The boss enrages under 25% health. He will raise his hands and constantly burst in AOE with lightning damage every second causing massive damage! Don’t try to run, it won’t save you. The tank should apply debuff from the taunt and try to protect the group, the healer should go to town on the heals and keep people up, and the DPS need to stay focused, plant their feet, and do as much sustained damage as possible to kill it. IF people stop damage and if people stop healing and run around the room, you will all die. The key word here...”FOCUS”.

Tips & Strategy

  • Tank: Keep Stormfist centered and grab the Minions quickly.
  • DPS: Stay behind the boss and FOCUS during Enrage.
  • Healer: Keep the group up during Enrage.
  • Everyone: Do NOT run around and get out of Stomp!! if needed.
