Ituziel Guide

Ituziel Guide

My guild finally killed him last night. It is kinda a hard fight due to tight dps requirement of around 40.3k. We had him enraged a lot of times even without any death. I will give step by step instruction on mechanics on how we killed him.

Our main issues were tanks getting killed by RNG crits and lack of DPS. 11/11 HK would not even be able to kill Ituziel. I would advise to try killing Matron WITHOUT using any tomes before you attempt this boss.




 Firstly, the raid composition
2 tanks
1 bard
1 archon
2 chloros
3 cleric healers (2 51 puri & 1 sent/puri)
11 dps (including a 51MM and 2 Inquisicars. A warrior is spec into 40champ/26bm for damage buff)

Pre-raid preparation

1. Consumables - stones, vials, food, cakes
2. Fire Resist - Full fire essences. Healers are advised to use fire resist runes when using greaters.
3. Have range learn the fire waves positioning here.

 There are only a few mechanics for this boss, however, they are very important as each of them may wipe a raid any moment. To make it easier, I will list what each role should take note of.

TANKS

1. Word of Incineration - The current tank will be knocked back and stunned before this 3 second channeling spell begins. The next tank MUST stand infront of the boss to intercept the damage or the other tank will die and spawns a portal which adds will appear from periodically. Shroud of Entropy and Infestation is the key here.
2. Tank Switch - After the tank intercepted WOI, he must taunt the boss straight away before he gets to the knocked back tank. Taunting while he still casting WOI will not work, it must be after he finishes casting and starts moving.
3. Fire Waves - it is given that the tank would eat the fire waves. However, try not to get hit by 2 waves.

IMPORTANT: Tanks must spec to 44 reaver for the 35% damage reduction. A cooldown must be used everytime on the tank that is about to intercept WOI. Therefore, rotation on cooldowns must be perfect. (Example: Tank A > Tank B > Healer A > Healer B > Tank A > and so on)

MELEE DPS

1. Ituziel's hitbox is very big, therefore, stand at max radius to avoid being cleaved.
2. Fire Waves - dodging fire waves while maintaining dps is very hard. Move as efficient as possible. If your healers are pro, you may just eat the whole waves until 35% which at that point Rain of Fire will fall like crazy and healers will have difficult time keeping the raid health.

RANGE DPS

1. Fire Waves - range will have easy time dodging the wave if they follow my guide on how to dodge waves. Have one person call out the fire pit spawn position.
2. Brimstone - A buff on the boss every 12 seconds and MUST BE PURGED within 2 seconds or Rain of Fire will stun everyone that got hit. 51 MM is used to purge this.

BARD AND ARCHON

1. Fire Waves - Read the segment regarding fire waves on RANGE DPS
2. Cooldowns - Time your virtuoso, voj and flaring power right. Use them when a chloro casts wild growth. Flaring power can used once at the beginning of the fight and another when the boss is at 10%
3. Rain of Fire - Throughout the fight, the boss will cast this skill. It is a DoT on random raid members. It speeds up at 60% and 35%.  Rain of Fire can be cleansed only when the person is healed through past the health % that it begins (If the person gets it at 100% he must be healed back to 100% for the DoT to go away). Being said, it is possible for a person to receive 3-4 stack of rain of fire.

CHLORO

1. Fire Waves - Read the segment regarding fire waves on RANGE DPS
2. Wild Growth - It is a very important skill for this fight. Have the 2 chloros alternate wild growth and use them whenever its up.
3. Rain of Fire - Throughout the fight, the boss will cast this skill. It is a DoT on random raid members. It speeds up at 60% and 35%.  Rain of Fire can be cleansed only when the person is healed through past the health % that it begins (If the person gets it at 100% he must be healed back to 100% for the DoT to go away). Being said, it is possible for a person to receive 3-4 stack of rain of fire.

HEALERS

1.  Fire Waves - Read the segment regarding fire waves on RANGE DPS
2. Rain of Fire - Throughout the fight, the boss will cast this skill. It is a DoT on random raid members. It speeds up at 60% and 35%.  Rain of Fire can be cleansed only when the person is healed through past the health % that it begins (If the person gets it at 100% he must be healed back to 100% for the DoT to go away). Being said, it is possible for a person to receive 3-4 stack of rain of fire.
3. Inquisicars should switch to Mien of Honor at 35%.

I hope this explains a lot for you guys, please ask me if you have any question.
