Halfus Wyrmbreaker
Strategy Guide
This fight has only one phase and is a high AoE oriented fight.
The boss is surrounded by 5 drakes. In normal, 3 of these will be active per week, buffing the boss.
The active drakes determine the abilities and buffs of both the boss and his proto-behemoth.
The boss has a huge amount of health, but he takes stacking increased damage once each drake is defeated.
All five drakes are always active, therefore the boss always has the maximum amount of buffs.
The boss doesn't cast any abilities on his own above 50% health. Most of the fight involves managing the adds.
You can choose to release all the drakes at the pull, or keep some imprisoned until you've dealt with the others.
Releasing more drakes at the beginning of the encounter weakens the boss directly but makes the fight harder for the off-tank.
