Shadow Gale
- 5sec to find and get to safe spot: small black circle with a light purple spell animation around it, usu. near a player
Enfeebling Blow: knocks tank away, and debuff: damage taken increased
- tank: don’t tank with back to a wall, and wait for Erudax to catch up to you so debuff drops off
Summon Faceless Corruptor
- heal Erudax and hatch eggs that spawn adds
- dps switch to immediately
Binding Shadows
- random target: siphons life and roots anyone w/in 8yds
- spread out some, but not too much to make finding the safe spot from Shadow Gale hard
