Mechanics

Hearthsinger Forresten is a rare boss who can spawn in one of two locations in Stratholme Live. He uses ranged attacks and can put players to sleep, so the group should be ready to deal with interrupted damage and healing. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Positioning: Keep the group spread out where practical.
• Sleep: Be ready for a player to be put to sleep.
• Adds: Clear nearby enemies before engaging.
• Healing: Keep the tank healthy throughout the fight.

Mechanics

The Unforgiven is an undead boss who can summon extra enemies during the fight. The group should be ready to handle the additional pressure while keeping the boss under control. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Adds: Deal with summoned enemies quickly so they do not overwhelm the healer.
• Positioning: Pull the boss away from nearby packs.
• Threat: Make sure the tank keeps control of the boss and any adds.
• Healing: Be ready for increased incoming damage when extra enemies appear.

Mechanics

Timmy the Cruel is an undead melee boss found in the streets of Stratholme. The fight is fairly straightforward, but nearby enemies can make it more dangerous if the group does not clear the area first. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Positioning: Keep the boss facing away from the group where possible.
• Adds: Clear nearby undead before pulling.
• Threat: Let the tank establish threat before using heavy damage.
• Healing: Keep the tank healthy through his melee attacks.

Mechanics

Cannon Master Willey is a ranged boss found in the Scarlet Bastion. He uses his cannon to attack players and is surrounded by Scarlet enemies, so clearing the area before engaging helps prevent the fight from becoming overwhelming. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Adds: Clear the surrounding Scarlet enemies before pulling.
• Cannon: Be ready for cannon fire and keep the group healthy.
• Interrupts: Interrupt dangerous casts where possible.
• Healing: Watch for incoming damage while dealing with the boss and any remaining enemies.

Mechanics

Archivist Galford is a Scarlet caster found near the end of the Live side. He deals fire damage to the group, so the healer should be ready for multiple players to take damage during the encounter. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Fire Damage: Be ready to heal players affected by his fire spells.
• Adds: Clear nearby Scarlet enemies before pulling.
• Positioning: Spread out where practical to reduce the impact of area damage.
• Healing: Keep the tank and party healthy throughout the fight.

Mechanics

Grand Crusader Dathrohan is the final encounter on the Live side. Once Dathrohan is defeated, he transforms into Balnazzar, who uses powerful Shadow abilities, fear and sleep effects. Here are some key considerations to be mindful of:

• Transformation: Be ready for Balnazzar to appear immediately after Dathrohan is defeated.
• Deep Sleep: Dispel sleep effects where possible.
• Fear: Be ready for Psychic Scream and avoid pulling nearby enemies if players run in fear.
• Positioning: Spread out where practical and keep the tank stable.
• Healing: Balnazzar can damage multiple party members, so keep the group healthy.
