Brief Event Overview

Ashenback is boss.

Fire and Frost storms come into play during event.

Adds spawn throughout event.


Strategy

Load cold spells for this event.  Any level as long as it costs mana to cast.

Ashenback has both frontal and rear AE damage spells.  Raid position on wings.

Ashenback summons a firestorm at the start of event.  The firestorm paths around dropping a puddle of flames at 50s intervals.

Stay out of both the firestorm and puddle of flames to avoid Scorching Mana.  Achievement for staying out of puddle of flames.

At 65 percent health, Ashenback will summon a second firestorm and adds will begin to spawn from the puddle of flames.

Kill adds as they spawn.

Around 45 percent, the first firestorm will become unstable.  Use cold spells on the firestorm until it transforms to a frost storm.

Remove Ashenback's Laval Armor by moving into the frost storm.  Achievement for only removing Laval Armor with frost storms once eligible.

In addition, the frost storm kills any adds taken into the storm and removes any puddle of flames the storm passes over.

The frost storm is active for 1m 15s before transforming back to a Firestorm.


Tanks:
- MT face Ashenback away from raid to avoid frontal and rear AE's


Healers:
- Continuous splashing throughout event.


MA Kill Order: adds, Ashenback

Start Event

Event is triggered by keyword, speaking with Gwark and saying 'ready' or 'enraged'.

Gwark says, 'Such a proud and primal thing, the dragon. Even as, well, [damaged] as this one is, he's still magnificent.'

Gwark says, 'The destruction of the Plane of Magic damaged almost every creature living within it, and many outside too. The planes fractured slightly everywhere. We may never know to what extent. And with the mistress of this place gone, little can be done to fix it. Ashenback's mind was fractured as well. Never a kind creature, he is now much more aggressive and has been detrimental to any attempts to repair the harm done here. He has been attacking rescuers and victims alike. Perhaps it is the nature of the red dragon come to the fore, but who knows. If you could [subdue] him that would help greatly.'

Gwark says, 'If that is even possible, yes. I can't help you, of course. I'm not a combatant and I find it distasteful to harm beings like this. Let me know when you are [ready], or you can always deal with him when he is [enraged], if that suits your desires for some reason. Or I can assist you if you wish to [leave].'

Gwark says, 'Do your best.'
