Thunder Roc guide
Tanks & Positioning – Initiate the fight with your tank, allowing the rest of the raid to enter and disperse within the arena. Avoid bringing melee units with the intention of dealing damage, as the Thunder Roc employs a 150-degree frontal arc attack, a short-range 360-degree whirlwind attack, and a long-ranged 360-degree wind-up slam attack. It’s crucial to evade these attacks. However, you can have a secondary or tertiary tank positioned behind the Roc to regain its attention if aggro is lost. Ensure that your tanks effectively utilizes taunt to keep the Thunder Roc centered in the arena.
Dodge Storm Attack: The Thunder Roc will periodically charge up its Gathering Storm attack, which has an approximately 8-second casting time. All players must make sure to avoid this powerful attack, as it inflicts significant damage. If the Roc successfully hits a legion positioned in the water, it will unleash the Electrostatic Discharge ability.
Note: The Thunder Roc’s ability cannot be interrupted.
Avoid Ball Lightning: After some time, the Thunder Roc will fly towards the center of the arena and launch two projectiles, targeting two bodies of water, one at a time. When the projectile detonates upon hitting the water, it electrifies the surrounding area. Players who find themselves in the electrified water will suffer continuous damage and movement impairment. To avoid this, make sure to move away from the water before the projectile explodes. Right after the projectiles detonate, the Thunder Roc ascends into the air and forcefully slams back down onto the ground, causing players to be knocked back.
Gather Healing Crystals: After dealing a significant amount of damage, the Thunder Roc will drop four green crystals, one for each of the four bodies of water. Keep an eye on the Roc, as it will launch the same two projectiles as before. Make sure to evade the two pools where the projectiles are directed and move towards the other safe pools. Once there, activate the healing manastone by channeling its power.
Don’t Electrocute Members: During this phase, the Roc will also use Electric Blast, a skill that selects three players and marks them with a Lightning Circle. These players must quickly move to the middle of the arena and ensure they stand apart from each other and other raid members. Continue cycling through these various phases and mechanics until you defeat the Thunder Roc.
Note: There is a rage timer. If you don’t kill the Roc within the time limit, everyone instantly dies.
