  • Shannox is immune to taunt.

Thanks to Kats & Layria for her careful work as copy editor for the English texts.

Phase 1

Face the boss away from the raid to avoid the cleave.


Riplimb is immune to taunt and must be tanked away from Shannox to maximise Hurl Spear distance.


Rageface cannot be tanked and will attack a new random players every 15s.

EVERYONE

AVOID THE SPEAR

Hurl Spear
Raid Mechanic

Shannox throws his spear, which deals high damage to any enemies within 3 yards and AoE damage to everyone within 50 yards.


The ground explodes, leaving fire. Riplimb then runs to pick the spear up and bring it back to Shannox.


While Shannox is missing his spear, he does not perform Arcing Slash and then doesn't apply stacks.

KITE DOGS INTO THEM

Crystal Prison Trap
Traps

Shannox leaves a Crystal Prison trap around him, which becomes active after 2 seconds. If touched by a player or Riplimb/Rageface, the target is encased in a Crystal Trap.


If a player is hit, the trap needs to be killed, and if Riplimb/Rageface is trapped, it lasts for 10 seconds.

Immolation Trap
Traps

Shannox leaves Immolation Trap around him, which becomes active after 2 seconds.


If a player, or Riplimb/Rageface steps on the trap, it deals damage and leaves a dot on the target which increases their damage taken by 40% for 9 seconds.

Face Rage
Fixate

This ability is only casted by Rageface.


Rageface can't be tanked, and rather focuses random players.


Rageface leaps on a random player, stunning them and dealing increasing damage over time. This continues until he's damaged for at least (30k in 10m, 45k in 25m) in a single hit.


All attacks on Rageface during Face Rage are critical hits.

Frenzied Devotion
Enrage Mechanic

This is a Normal Only ability.


If Riplimb or Rageface is alive when Shannox reaches 30% health, they enrage, increases their damage done by 400% and attack speed by 200%.


It means you want to kill dogs in normal but not in heroic.

Arcing Slash
Cleave & Bleed

Roughly every 10s, Shannox cleaves in an arc in front of him, and applies Jagged Tear on anyone hit.


Jagged Tear is a stacking bleed lasting 30s.


As the boss can't be taunted, Hurl Spear timing is the only way to remove those stacks.
