Stormwall Blockade

General Strat

Phase 1 - Boat Phase

1. The fight starts with the raid splitting to the boats to fight Katherine and Joseph. They share many abilities. One is a breakable Shield that prevents them being kicked, followed by a Channel into the boss that increases the boss's energy. If the boss reaches max energy, it kills everyone in the raid.


2. Another ability they share is a raid wide damage Volley that the healers will have to heal through.


3. When either of the Tidepriests die, they channel energy into the boss. In order to prevent this from getting out of hand, both Tidepriests need to die around the same time.


4. At 50%, the Tidepriest will Translocate to the other ship. This means you need to know the special ability of both Tidepriests.


5. Sister Katherine creates dodgeable lightning balls that deal moderate damage if you get hit. She also casts Crackling Lighting, a lightning bolt that strikes a player and silences anyone nearby. The silence duration is based on how close they are.


6. Brother Joseph creates Freezing Storms on players, doing damage to anyone nearby and dropping a Puddle that slows players. You use these Puddles to deal with the Sirens that he summons. These Sirens target a player (giving them a little time to run away) and then forcing them to walk towards the Siren and jump off the boat. DPS the Sirens asap.









Phase 2 - Dock Phase

7. The raid needs to soak an Ire of the Deep orb that falls on some part of the platform.


8. The last platform is all about managing the puddles and the adds. Stack for Sea Swell so that the Puddles that come from this are stacked. As soon as you see the swirl, move. When you get Storm's Wail, you need to run through the Puddles to soak them up, then get to the back of the room (or to an add that is up) to drop off the Energized Storm add that the debuff spawns.


9. These adds need to be killed before they reach the boss by having the tank run to them and debuff them with the tank mechanic. When they die, they drop an orb on the ground that you can pick up to regain Storm's Wail and do it all over again.




Tanks

10. In phase 2, you need to run your Kelp-Wrapping debuff on top of the add group to increase their damage taken. Call for a dispel to drop your debuff on the adds.



Healers

11. In phase 2, the tank will call for a dispel on the Kelp-Wrapping debuff. Wait to dispel this until they do.

Dps

12. In phase 1, you need to make sure that the boss' hp is even and that they don't die before one another.


13. In phase 2, you need to nuke the adds before they reach the boss.



Melee

14. In phase 2, the tanks will be running out with their tank debuff to splash it on the adds to increase the adds' damage taken. Step away when they are doing this so you also don't get increased damage taken.



Ranged

15. In phase 2, the Ire of the Deep soak mechanic may spawn far from melee. When they aren't there to help soak, you may need to use a personal.
