MECHANICS & ROTATION

PHASE 1

Altius
- raid-wide AoE
- spawns X marks on where players are standing/facing upon cast
- bait X marks behind boss. MT can stay north side. This way, line of fire will be straight to the north and south



Alea Iacta Est + Terminus Est

Alea Iacta Est
- 4x 180° frontal, and then 1x 180° behind

Terminus Est
- straight-line AoEs from where X Marks are facing

How to handle:
- stack south to bait boss and his Alea Iacta Est
- when he starts casting Alea, go to north (behind him) to dodge his frontal attack
- after his 4x attacks, run to the SE or SW to avoid both his upcoming rear attack AND the X Marks



Citius

- tankbuster. Should be shared by both tanks with cooldowns

Ignis Est (Orange X)
- targets random healer or DPS with straight-line AoE marker
- bait marker directly to south
- after cast, split into 2 parties and go outside the arena's inner circle
- MT team stack on outer west
- ST team stack on outer east
- AoE around boss (inner circle) + straight-line AoE on south (where it was baited)

Festina Lente
- shareable AoE on both healers
- stay where you are since you're already in position to share damage



Electrified Gunshield Set
- upcoming knockback from boss when bar charges to 100
- ready to run to mid or prepare anti-knockback skills

Altius (X Marks)

Ignis Est (Inner Circle AoE- bait to south)
- after explosion inside inner circle, run to mid or use anti-knockback skills to avoid getting pushed to the edge

Knockback!




Reinforced Gunshield Set
- shields will form around N+S or E+W of boss when bar charges to 100
- attack sides with no shields

Citius (tankbuster)

Shields Up!

- Active Time Maneuver
- 2 Blade's Pulse spawn which both tanks need to take
- both tanks will be heavily damaged- heal accordingly
- DPS Bladesblood and kill it ASAP

PHASE 2

The 3 Gunshield Sets will be used in a random order, but this time with added mechanics

- both tanks get 2 tethers that spawn
