Strategy Guide
This fight has 2 phases. In the first phase, the boss run to the cauldron and toss a colored vial.

Maloriak has 20 adds locked around the room. 18 Aberrations and 2 Prime Subjects, he releases them throughout the fight.
The 2nd and final phase starts when Maloriak hits 25% HP.
On heroic mode, Maloriak throws a new vial, which is black granting him new abilities.
Every 40 seconds, Maloriak throws a random vial into his cauldron. The third one is always green.

KITE THE ADDS AND
AOE THEM DOWN
