Mechanic Overview
Limit Break
The Warrior of Light targets one tank, one healer, and one DPS with a large cone-shaped AOE that deals physical damage.
Both healers are targeted with an unmarked stack mechanic. The stack inflicts a physical vulnerability debuff and deals physical damage, preventing players from being able to be hit by both sets.
Either all four tanks and healers or all four DPS will be targeted. Radant Meteor is a large unmarked AOE that inflicts Fire Resistance Down, preventing players from surviving being hit by more than one.
A huge raidwide damage attack. A full level three tank Limit Break is required to survive.
Imbued Saber
A narrow cone shaped AOE that deals moderate magic damage. Many players refer to this as “Earthshakers.”
A stack mechanic that deals magical damage.
Inflicts players with the Pyretic debuff for 3 seconds. Any player action or movement taken while Pyretic is applied will incur heavy damage.
Inflicts Deep Freeze on players if they are not actively moving when the cast bar resolves. Deep Freeze locks players in place and they take heavy damage over time.
Specter of Light
- Katon: 4 DPS are marked with a stack mechanic. Inflicts Fire Resistance Down II.
- Suiton: A large water spout appears at the edge of the arena that inflicts a knockback to players.
Surecast andArm's Length will prevent the knockback.
- Blade of Shadow: Physical tankbuster dealing heavy damage.
- Deep Darkside: the Warrior of Light will gain a damage up buff if not interrupted.
- Brimstone Earth: Four DPS are marked. When the cast resolves, an expanding puddle will appear where markers were dropped. Puddles cannot touch each other or they will explode.
- Deluge of Death: A marker appears on three players, a tank, healer, and DPS, forcing this players to spread apart to reduce the damage.
- Flare Breath: Four dragons appear at the corners of the arena. Each will attach to a random player inflicting Fire Resistance Down II and repeatidly dealing light magic damage in a small cone AOE towards them.
- Fatal Cleave: Tankbuster dealing heavy physical damage.
- Berserk: The Warrior of Light will gain a damage up buff if not interrupted.
- Perfect Decimation: Flour players are marked, and a small cone shaped AOE will be cast at them.
- Meteor Impact: Eight towers appear that must be absorbed by two players each. Absorbing a tower inflicts Fire Resistance Down II and deals light magic damage. When a tower is not absorbed before it detonates, a large magic damage raidwide is inflicted on the party, and every member is inflicted with a vulnerability debuff and a damage down debuff.
