Oh yeah. I’ve got some experience on this one for ya.

If your group has the damage to kill the boss before tank gets overwhelmed with Daedroth, go for it. This doesn’t happen very often. Then you simply get the boss to execute and wait for 4 daedroths to come out before killing the boss to get hardmode.

And the boss ping pongs around the room at will so use your Ult’s wisely.

If the group doesn’t have the burn for this, kill the Deadroth’s and the balls that heal the boss. Your slow burning the boss in aoe. Then, when you get the boss to within execute range, you wait for 4 deadroths to come out. Still kill the balls that heal the boss because they heal him up massive. And you get the 2 keys.

When there’s 4 deadroths, your tank is gonna be starting to struggle. I’ve held as much as 8 and it was rough. Actually most likely ended in a wipe.

I had a much harder time dealing with this with a dedicated healer. 3 dps is the way to go.

Don’t feel bad. I’ve seen this dungeon fail numerous times. The fault here is on the tank and possibly healer. If your group doesn’t have über burn, the tank needs to have dps kill a few deadroths and get the boss health down to a manageable level.

If you’re constantly getting nuked by the bosses flames, and you have a “healer” well they’re not doing a very good job are they. If the healer is bringing some decent damage to the table, we let it slide. If they have green balls floating around them, know they are steaming poo and a hard carry at best.

Damage dealers need to take some accountability for themselves. If they keep dying to the bosses flames, they need to gtfo of the flames quickly. The boss does like to launch a flaming skull at someone every now and then. Block.
