MECHANICS & ROTATION
PHASE 1
Altius
- raid-wide AoE
- spawns X marks on where players are standing/facing upon cast
- bait X marks behind boss. MT can stay north side. This way, line of fire will be straight to the north and south
Alea Iacta Est + Terminus Est
Alea Iacta Est
- 4x 180° frontal, and then 1x 180° behind
Terminus Est
- straight-line AoEs from where X Marks are facing
How to handle:
- stack south to bait boss and his Alea Iacta Est
- when he starts casting Alea, go to north (behind him) to dodge his frontal attack
- after his 4x attacks, run to the SE or SW to avoid both his upcoming rear attack AND the X Marks
Citius
- tankbuster. Should be shared by both tanks with cooldowns
Ignis Est (Orange X)
- targets random healer or DPS with straight-line AoE marker
- bait marker directly to south
- after cast, split into 2 parties and go outside the arena's inner circle
- MT team stack on outer west
- ST team stack on outer east
- AoE around boss (inner circle) + straight-line AoE on south (where it was baited)
Festina Lente
- shareable AoE on both healers
- stay where you are since you're already in position to share damage

- upcoming knockback from boss when bar charges to 100
- ready to run to mid or prepare anti-knockback skills
