Preparation tips

  • Save a dash for the commit; the charge is easier to dodge sideways than to outrun.
  • Ranged builds can keep a clean side of the arena; melee builds should move the boss before the next placement. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game
  • Melee builds need a movement plan here; ranged builds can keep uptime from outside the circle.
  • Area damage pays for itself here: one clear per wave beats single-target cleanup.
  • A short dash helps you step away from the pack without dropping damage.

Preparation tips are collected from the build tips recorded for this zone's attack types.

Encounter order

Five bosses in arrival order, each with the attack to watch for: the shortest warning, or the shortest interval when no warning is recorded.

  1. 04:00 General Angerforge 4,200 HP

    Watch for Persistent hazard — 1 s warning
    Place the new hazard away from your current path, then fight around it instead of kiting through it. On a 10 s cycle the arena fills fast, so keep one side clear. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game

  2. 08:00 Warchief Rend Blackhand 10,500 HP

    Watch for Persistent hazard — 1 s warning
    Place the new hazard away from your current path, then fight around it instead of kiting through it. On a 10 s cycle the arena fills fast, so keep one side clear. Inferred from game data — not yet verified in game

  3. 12:00 Emperor Dagran Thaurissan 19,500 HP

    Watch for Scattered circles — 1.5 s warning
    Find the largest gap before the warning ends and commit to it; do not weave between circles at the last moment. With eight circles, move early rather than react.

  4. 16:00 Majordomo Executus 24,000 HP

    Watch for Circle around the boss — 1.3 s warning
    When the warning appears, step out of the area around the boss and wait for the hit before re-entering melee. A 7 s cycle leaves little time to finish a long cast.

  5. 20:00 Nefarian 60,000 HP

    Watch for Circle around the boss — 1.3 s warning
    When the warning appears, step out of the area around the boss and wait for the hit before re-entering melee. A 7 s cycle leaves little time to finish a long cast.
