High Priest Venoxis (Snake)


Venoxis

** Campfire is LOS. Pull boss and only 1 add comes. **
Spells (priest):
  • Holy wrath (??yd) - similar to chain-lightning, typically started on enemies in melee range
    • Counter - disrupt
  • Holy fire (40yd)
    • Counter - disrupt
  • Renew - HoT
    • Counter - disrupt, purge
Spells (shapeshifted):
  • Poison cloud (10yd radius) - Significant DoT, caster tends to raise arms on spellcast
    • Counter - cure, cleanse, etc

Battle Strategies

Tank'n'Spank (minimum 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS) Phase 1, >50% HP (priest form)
  • MT pulls boss mid-way on stairs in order to only pull the add on the left, and positions him/herself around bonfire, but careful for LOS
  • Disrupt holy wrath as much as possible and/or have mDPS stick close to tank and rDPS+healers at max range (prevent chained spell to extend further)
Phase 2, <50% HP (snake form)
  • On shapeshift he will cast a poison cloud, move out immediately
  • MT will be in constant motion in front of bonfire (LoS) when poison is cast (raised arms)
  • Cures, etc should only be cast when member is out of poison (e.g. Heal -> cure is likely order) unless a cleansing totem is active
