Boss 2 · two golems, kept apart

Heroic2 phasesVerified

Two golems that do not share health. Split the raid, keep them 40+ yards apart or they take 99% less damage, keep their health even, and in the intermission pair up so your Helical Toxins orbs total exactly 4.

Pull brief

Method: Bloodlust on the pull; there is no burn phase. The intermission is a coordination check, not a DPS check.

  • Bosses drifting within 40 yards and gaining Ula'tek's Dominance.
  • Uneven damage: the intermission refunds it to the weaker Sentinel.
  • Wrong Helical Toxins pairings; lethal on Heroic.
  • Pools cluttering the arena until there is no safe space.

Phases · 2

  1. Main phase
    Pull. Two groups, one per Sentinel: Breath (acid, green) and Blood (red).
  2. Intermission · Vitriolic Stasis
    100 energy. Both rush to the centre, take 99% less damage for 30 seconds, and the weaker heals to the stronger's health. Groups and tanks swap sides when it ends.

Positioning

LEFTRIGHT
Two groups, two sides: Breath left, Blood right, 40+ yards apart, tanks facing away.
B
Unstable Miasma — stack within 8 yards of the target to split it, then spread out.

Healer plan

  • Plan cooldowns for the end of each sequence, when mark stacks peak (Icy Veins).
  • Dispel Blighted Blood instantly; on Heroic dispel at the edges because the pool lands where the target stands (Method).
  • Contaminate from Venom Coagulation is raid-wide until the slime dies.
  • Intermission: Helical Toxins is a stacking plague DoT on everyone for 28 seconds.

Positioning

  • Two equal teams, left and right, 40+ yards apart (Method).
  • Blood's group starts in a corner for puddle management.
  • Heroic: designate a punishment corner for Helical Toxins mistakes, or use immunities (Method).
