Ruby Sanctum Normal Healing Strategies
Halion * Who to heal? Beacon tank and heal people with Consumption, stand in the physical realm in phase 3, where raid damage is much lighter * When to Plea? Anytime in phase 1, avoid in phase 3 when Corporeality is above 50% * What to watch out for? Constant movement in phase 2; Tank damage rises massively in phase 3 if Corporeality hits 70% * Cool tricks: Should be able to stand in melee throughout the whole of phase 2. Consumption effect can be Cleansed, even though it shows as a curse. Use Fire Aura for the physical realm.
HELION PHASE 1 MECHANICS
Halion has 3 phases, a straight forward mechanic and plenty of abilities. One you understand the fight it’s not as hard as it looks. First of all as usual remember she is a Dragon and she has FLAME BREATH so dont stand in front of her as you will get caught in the Frontal Cone AoE.
She also has a FIRE BALL that will hit the ground and spread fire, you can see where it will land as there will be a marking on the floor before it hits, simply move out the way.
The third mechanic/ability involves the player getting a DEBUFF this player needs to RUN AWAY from the raid team, get the debuff removed by a player and will then drop NASTY SHITE on the floor, the longer the debuff lasts before being cleansed the bigger the NASTY SHITE. So easy to remember, Get Debuff = Run Away and shout out for a cleanse.
HELION PHASE 2 MECHANICS
At 75% health Helion will vanish and everyone will need to head into the Void Portal apart from 1 Tank and 1 Healer, once inside you will start phase 2. At this point there will be constant AoE damage to the raid and also at periodic times 2 orbs will spawn that arc beams to Halion, the tank will need to rotate the boss so that the raid can move out of these beams and not get caught in the Cleave or Cone Breath while at the same time continuing to DPS.
HELION PHASE 3 MECHANICS
At 50% you will need to send some DPS and some heals out through the NEW portal where they will DPS her from the other realm. At this point its basically balancing the dps both inside and outside the portal to make sure that she stays in both states thus allowing all your DPS to take her down. If you dont have two DPS teams running, one inside and one outside the portal then Halion will begin to fade to the other realm where she can regenerate, so it’s vital your DPS teams are balanced well.
During Phase 3, those outside will deal with Phase 1 mechanics and those inside will deal with Phase 2 mechanics. ### Links * http://www.crusaderscoliseum.com/ruby-sanctum/2611-ruby-sanctum-strategy-and-tactics-guide * http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.php?67195-Halion-Encounter-Guide-Pre-Release * http://elitistjerks.com/f76/t84922-holy_paladin_compendium_3_3_a/#Ruby_Sanctum_Normal_Healing_Strategies
