Throne of Thunder: Durumu (10)

OVERVIEW
Durumu the Forgotten is three-phase fight. The phases are.

1. The Normal Phase: Durumu uses his less harmful abilities during this time.
2. The Colorblind Phase: at 0:30, 3:30, 6:30 and 9:30 Durumu targets 2 raid members with a differently coloured cone of light. Each player will have to "kite" the cones around the platform until they reveal 3 invisible adds which must be killed to end the phase.
3. The Disintegration Beam/Maze Phase: at 2:30, 5:30  and 8:30 Durumu will enter the Disintegration Beam/Maze Phase where he channels a deadly beam of light in front of him and slowly rotate around the platform for 1 minute. The floor of the room is covered in extremely damaging ground effects with only a small safe zone which moves slowly around the room and makes the maze which players must stand in to survive.

Durumu: Abilities
Durumu is a turret he cannot be moved from the centre of his platform and if there is nobody in melee range, he will cast Gaze that deals raid wide damage that will eventually wipe the raid.

He has 4 main abilities that he uses during the Normal and Colorblind Phases.

• Hard Stare: a damaging attack cast on the tank that deals damage and applies two debuffs to the target;
• Serious Wound: a stacking heal reduceing debuff;
• Arterial Cut: a bleed effect that is removed when the target is healed to max HP;
• Force of Will: an conal knockback cast on a random player that effects any player standing in this cone;
• Lingering Gaze: a spell cast at 2 random raid members that deals damage in a 15-yard radius when they land and also creates a void zone. Standing in the void zone casues the player to take damage and get a slowing debuff;
• Life Drain: he summons a Hungry Eye which channels Life Drain on a random raid member for 15 seconds, dealing ever increasing damage to the victim every second, and healing Durumu for the life drained. This can be intercepted by placing themselves between the Hungry Eye and the victim which causes the Hungry Eye to drain life from the second player instead.

Colourblind Phase
After 30 seconds and then every 3 minutes Durumu enters the 2nd or "Colorblind" Phase which lasts until the raid finds and kills 3 Crimson Fogs. During this phase Durumu uses all the abilities from the 1st phase.

When the Colorblind Phase starts, three random raid members will be targeted by a red beam, a blue beam, and a yellow beam. After a few seconds, the beams turn into three differently-colored cones of light are created on the floor of Durumu's circular platform: a red cone, a blue cone, and a yellow cone.

The red and blue cones are centered around the players targeted by the red and blue beams respectively, and follow the players around as they move. The yellow cone moves around either clockwise or counter-clockwise (it is chosen randomly).

Players standing in the cones share the damage it deals and if nobody joins the targeted player inside a cone, the raid will take huge damage from that cone.

Finding the Fog Beasts
The Fog Beasts can only be found by moving the matching cloured cone of the light over them. The blue cone will find the Azure Fog, the red cone will find the Crimson Fogs and phase ends when all 3 Crimson Fogs are dead. If the cone is moved past the Fog Beast's location before it is dead, the Fog Beast will go invisible.

Once revealed, the Crimson Fog casts Caustic Spike on random raid members until it dies, the Azure Fog casts Icy Grasp which deals ever increasing damage and respawns immediately after being killed.

Maze Phase

After 2 minutes and 30 seconds Durumu will start channeling Disintegration Beam Precast for the first 8 seconds the beam is harmless and the floor of the room slowly gets covered by Eye Sores which initially cover a random circular sector representing 1/12th of the room before it expands clockwise or counter-clockwise direction (the direction is random) and covers an additional 1/12th of the room every second until the entire room is covered.

After the Eye Sores hit the Disintegration Beam, you will see two safe zones forming next to the beam. One safe zone is close to the boss and the other is further away. The Disintegration Beam will now be "armed" and instantly kill anyone it hits.

The safe zones keep moving with the beam so players simply need to move through the maze to avoid taking damage from the Disintegration Beam or the Eye Sores. Durumu also deals moderate amounts of damage to random raid members but uses no other special abilities or attacks.

Strategy
The first phase is pretty much a tank and spank. The tanks need to switch so Serious Wound does not stack too high so the healers can easily keep the tanks at full health so Arterial Cut damage is minimised.

Players should drop the void zones left behind by Lingering Gaze on the outer edge of the platform and everybody should move out of the  cones created by Force of Will which will kill them as they get knocked off the platform.
When players are targeted by Life Drain, everybody should try to interupt the beam between the player and the Hungry Eye to reduce the healing Durumu receives.

During the Colourblind Phase, the raid must reveal and kill 3 Crimson Fogs as quickly as possible, so the Colorblind Phase is over quickly.

When Durumu casts the 3 beams on the random players the locations of the 4 Fogs are shown by a circle of red/blue fog for a second or two. Someone should mark these locations especially that of the blue fog.

The raid should split evenly between the three cones to even out the damage:

• Melee should stack in the red cone;
• Healers should stack in the blue cone;
• Tanks/ranged should stack in the yellow cone;

Everybody should stand as close to Durumu as they can so the healers can have all of the raid in range.

The player targeted by the red cone must move around the platform to the locations of each Crimson Fog and stand still until it has been killed, before moving on to the next one.

The player targeted by the blue cone should move to the designated blue cone spot (unless the Azure Fog is at that location) so the Azure Fog is not revealed.

The player kiting the red cone should move the opposite direction to the yellow cone and and when moving the red cone through the blue/yellow cones do it as fast as possible to minise incoming damage. The kiter should also NEVER let the 3 beams cross at the same time as this will cause the whole raid to take huge damage.

During the maze phase, mark a player who knows how to move during this phase, and simply ask the rest of the raid to follow them.survival is the key, stand in the safe zone, do not take risks and do not panic the beam will be right up your ass most of the time DPS should be done but getting through the phase safely is more important.

Keys to Success

• Getting through the Colourblind Phase quickly by killing 3 Crimson Fogs and NOT revealing the Azure Fog;
• Surviving the Disintegration Beam Phase;
