A buddy and me group up for random and get Tempest Island. We burn through the whole dungeon in 10 minutes then spend the next 30 on the last boss. It might not have been so long, but the tank and healer went on a res strike. Hehe was loads of fun watching the tank try to solo the boss. Not.

We figured out, she does a big AOE explosion thing, followed by a Crit charge and then a call Lightning like mages wrath. Many times the little tornado cloud things knock you into her AOE explosion and your insta dead. The follow up charge attack can be interrupted and if you have enough stamina, can block...otherwise it one shots you.

So anyways, after a bit of pain we finish it off, but I never got the bonus random dungeons xp.

    It's a current DF tool bug. If you log as 2 or 3 premade, there is a possibility that you do not get the reward (if the leader is passed on the stranger and he was logged as specific dungeon).

    Easy solution: you can bypass this by loggin either solo or a full 4 premade group. In these two cases, you always get the reward and the bug won't affect you.

    For the boss, all stick close to boss and just roll dodge away when he does the AOE attack and quickly come back. He is not doing Wind Charge on targets which are in melee range.

    I actually saw a tank solo her. A couple weeks ago was in there for a pledge - at like 80% health or so there was a domino wipe where the healer went down and two of us went down trying to res ... the tank solo'd her the rest of the way. Took a good 7-8 minutes lol. I forget the tanks name but his sustain was legen.... wait for it .... dary.

    Noticed the change as well to "her".

    If EVERYONE including the tank goes to just inside her charge range (7-9 meters approx) and DPS's ranged, the fight is easy. If DPS/Healer are too close or too far away, she obviously takes offense to what you said about her mother, and starts 1 shotting everyone except the Tank typically.

    - I, as Shield Tank decided to equip a ranged weapon and used Undaunted Ranged Taunt.
    - I kept (DK) Igneous on the group every 3- 6 seconds easily with my 2K mag regen. (We stayed close to each other)
    - When she does her AOE, we being already 6 or 7 steps away from her backed up 2 steps ONLY just outside the large red circle and did not dodge roll backwards into her Charge 1 shot range.
    - After the AOE we quickly stepped forward but ONLY just inside her AOE range.

    The fight was super easy that way. Try it.

    You don't actually have to be in her aoe range at all. If you're just outside her aoe, maybe <=1 metre from where it ends, you're safe. She won't charge you there and her aoe won't reach you there. You can literally stand still that whole fight dpsing her from there(if you're ranged; if you're melee then you will have to get close and dodge back every time she does that aoe. Or, well, go ranged). The only really annoying thing is whirlwinds, their knockback doesn't fall under cc group so grants you no cc immunity, doesn't get stopped by cc immunity, cannot be broken free from and can indeed push you into her aoe(or further away from it which will make her charge you).

    As a tank I can solo her easily(I probably could as a dps with shields too), it takes forever and some more though. I usually try to get people up til they get her to 50 or something at least, if they just keep dying I'll eventually give up and just sweeeeeep her to death xD While actually tanking I stay inside her aoe usually because I'm too lazy to move and I know it won't oneshot me :p
    As a mag dps I'd use Annulment, works wonders there.

    It's one of the few bosses making you follow some mechanics, I actually quite like it. Whirlwinds are a pain though.

    I got in to a group yesterday for black heart and were only three of us when I loaded in. I was crown so I initiated the replacement.

    One came. We done the dungeon. No xp bonus. I was rather annoyed purely for the waste of time.
