Sanctum Ophidia Information

Hi fellow players (Trial dungeon delvers),

I need information about the Trial Sanctum Ophidia, about the stomps of the manticora to be more exact: Do they get stronger over time or it's boss health % based? Do they get stronger at all or it's my imagination? Is there any special mechanic you use to mitigate the damage from them? Do you use DPS offhealing at the spears fase, or 2 healers should be enough to heal the tank? How meny blackholes should we get before killing it?

We got it to 31%, that's our record we did last night. Any help/Tips are welcome!

    Hey Eserras,

    The dmg of the stomps increases over time and not with boss health %. Haveing to much heal with you is therefore not the best idea. 2 Healers should be enought to keep the Tank and the group alive.

    A semi Healer for the Tank for downstairs is all you should need.

    To mitigate dmg from the speers you can block before it hits then you are not stuned and other than that you can only move out.

    3-4 Black holes I think should be the max. otherwise the dmg of the stomp is just too much.

    Regards Eucken

    Yes they do get stronger with each portal phase. Each big stomp after which a portal appears inflicts a bleeding over time damage to entire raid (including to the people who jumped down into the portal). If you use a Nova on the boss right before he stomps or combine that with a Barrier you can make the healers' job easier. When the portal group comes back and the boss makes another stomp after his stun is over he will once again do a similar stomp with a raid-wide damage over time. Next phase the same stomps will do more damage so it makes more sense to save your defensive ultimates for second, third (...) phases than the first one - first one is really not that high. If your group is having issues on the very first phase then they will have much more trouble in the end phase.

    Thank you both for the information :)!

    We got him down finaly! ^^! Was a matter of not using too many healers and then the DPS was just enough not to struggle!
