Talk:Alexander - The Fist of the Father (Savage)

Just for the sake of getting the page started. Putting it in the talk because this is based on stream viewing, not actually attempting fight myself. Some mechanics gleamed from Mizz's stream, and anyone can choose whether they are legit and worthy to put in or not. Note they didn't progress far from what I saw (the raidwide where they launch is the last of what I was able to observe), and as such, I'm missing all mechanics after Quick Landing, if any new ones exist.

  • Royal Fount: Cleave that one shots any non tank, hits the tank for ~6k, when combined with autos it can be about 10k at once. (confirm damage if skeptical, was calculating based on rampart being up and it hitting 4500, with no barriers.)
  • Resin Bomb: Main Savage Mechanic After the cast, four random raid members, including the tanks, will drop an AoE void zone. All players must bait this away from important positions (Such as away from behind, beside, or in front of the boss, or later on, away from lasers for 3000 tonze missle.)
  • Emergency Deployment: Boss casts Resin Bomb after spawning the ads. The ads must be baited away from the lasers, kept alive until after Resin Bomb casts, then dragged to the lasers and killed. Otherwise, the same as normal: The mini mitigates the missile damage, possible wipe if not mini'd (Mizz's group did not wipe to it, so I can't say)
  • Hypercompressed Plasma: Tank Buster that hits for 20k unmitigated magic damage (calculated from 10k, with full stoneskin, and sentinel up, no virus or anything else). This happens after a huge raidwide (after or as a result of 3000 tonze missile), so tanks must be topped off and rotate heavy defensives. With higher gear, this probably is easier to deal with. May be even more damage (up to 25k) if you have less gear.
  • Quick Landing: Main downtime raidwide. Resin Bomb casts during this time, except several more than 4 in sequence. Party must bait resin bombs away from the safe zone, then run to the safe zone after all resin bombs have been baited away. Shield and heal (you have very little time after running, recommended to top off raid before resin bomb casts)
  • Other changes such as the DPS synch and enrage are unknown to me, this is just a "let's get started with listing mechanics" for the more experienced wiki updaters to build upon.
