Abilities and Tactics

PHASE 1 - Obsidian Destroyer

Devour Magic

Boss puts a debuff on several players.

After  6 sec, it does shadow dmg to players within 9 yards and leaves a shadow pool on the ground called Devoured Abyss.

This pool drains mana and does Shadow dmg every 2 sec and stacks.

Standing in the pool silence players and grants immunity to all other magic dmg.

When it collapses, it does very high dmg to players within 9 yards.

Tactics: Devour Magic

Run to the left and right side of the platform (based on which side you are on) and let the debuff expire there.

On this way, you will have pools away from the fight and at the same time, fast access to run into when needing immunity when boss does Stygian Annihilation.

Stygian Annihilation

Boss does a couple of seconds cast and unleashes a deadly (1.7 mill) Shadow dmg to all players.

Tactics: Stygian Annihilation

Stand inside a shadow pool when boss unleashes it. The pool has immunity against it.
BUT, don´t run in to early because you will take to much unnecessary dmg from the pool.
