High Priestess Arlokk (Panther)

Arlokk

** Can summon multiple bosses by rapid clicking gong. **
Spells (shapeshifted):
  • Double-cleave (melee) - AoE-like
  • Backstab
  • Prey - boss marks member, who will be targeted by spawned panthers if in their LoS 
Spells (priestess form):
  • Shadow word: pain - DoT
  • Gouge - incapacitates target for 3(?)sec as well as wiping its threat

Battle Strategies

Limit Panther Spawns (minimum 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS, 1-2 AoE CC)
  • Everyone huddles and places their backs against the wall near the entrance, except the MT who will be placed near max range of raid (in case of gouge)
  • Non-tank/healing member rings the gong to summon Arlokk in priestess form
  • Arlokk will vanish as priestess and reappear as panther routinely, repeatedly commanding summoned panthers to focus on one member
  • Ignore and AoE CC panthers when Arlokk is visible to continue focusing DPS on her since, after the initial summon, panthers spawn only as others die
  • Tank should use short-CD damage-reduction spell, if available, when Arlokk reappears in panther form: panther form seems to give a damage or armor penetration buff
No CC, No Problem (minimum 1 tank, 1-2 healers, 3 DPS, 1 AoE)
  • Positioning and tanking is same as above
  • One DPS will have the role of killing panthers as they come near the group via a feasible AoE (e.g. lock's hellfire coupled with HoTs, mage's AE or blizzard...)
