Ruby Life Pools – Dragonflight Season 4

MDT Route for S4 Ruby Life Pools

[routerlp_shortcode]

First Boss: Melidrussa Chillworn

Notable Trash Mobs in this Area

Sidestep the Primal Juggernaut‘s

Excavating Blast. Your tank must pay attention to the tank-buster ability –

Crushing Smash.

Interrupt Flashfrost Chillweaver‘s

Icebolt &

Ice Shield. This is by far the most important caster in the area.

Use CC abilities to stop Flashfrost Earthshaper‘s

Tectonic Slam.

Be aware of the clutches of eggs in the pools around the area. These will hatch if any player or enemy steps on them, spawning one Infused Whelp for each egg that was hatched. These casts

Cold Claws relatively frequently on the highest threat target leading to a large amount of unnecessary frost damage and a potential stun if not dispelled.

At last, when facing Defier Draghar, make sure to avoid its frontal charge –

Blazing Rush. In addition, your tank must use a defensive during the

Steel Barrage channelled attacks.

Melidrussa Chillworn Notable Abilities

Use healing cooldowns during the Frost Overload, the longer the shield lasts the more you have to heal. This is the hardest part of the fight.
Avoid the Hailbombs before it hits the ground.

Ability & Strategy Overview

Avoid the Hailbombs before it hits the ground. It is bait to bait them close to each other so you can have more room to play around.
The person that gets a Chillstorm must place it outside of melee and preferably away from your group. Keep in mind that you have a limited time to escape the “vortex” without taking any damage. Here is a good place to use a defensive cooldown if you are in a critical HP. Remember that at the end of the Chillstorm cast, it will do damage and push you back, so stay away from any existing Hailbombs.
Important mechanic: At 75% and 45%, Melidrussa Chillworn will spawn a dozen of Infused Whelps that do only auto-attacks to your tank and apply Cold Claws (healers must dispel that). During this time, you have to break the Frost Overload to end the intermission.
Use healing cooldowns during the Frost Overload, the longer the shield lasts the more you have to heal. This is the hardest part of the fight.

Second Boss: Kokia Blazehoof

After defeating Melidrussa Chillworn, hop on the one of the Radiant Drake, who will carry you to the next area.

Notable Trash Mobs in this Area

Interrupt Primalist Cinderweaver‘s

Cinderbolt at all times. Occasionally they will buff themselves with

Burning Ambition, having higher haste but also taking 25% more damage. If you feel confident, let the debuff persist so you can kill them faster.

Stop any

Flame Dance casts coming from Primalist Flamedancer. In addition, right before they die, it will trigger

Blaze of Glory – dodge the ground swirlies and break/purge the shield as quickly as you can.

Pay attention to Blazebound Destroyer‘s

Living Bomb, it goes on a random target, it does damage per second and it explodes at the end, dealing a high amount of damage – knocking you in the air (use defensive cooldowns if vulnerable). Sidetip, you can get closer to melee and use the

Living Bomb end-close knock-up explosion on Primalist Cinderweaver & Primalist Flamedancer to disturb them. In addition, Blazebound Destroyer will occasionally cast

Inferno doing unavoidable AoE damage to everyone within 100 yards, plus an additional damage-over-time effect every 2 seconds for 6 seconds.. Finally, when the Blazebound Destroyer is defeated, it will cast

Burnout – quickly move out of melee to avoid taking lethal damage.

Once Flamegullet is below 50% health it will cast

Molten Blood, which can be treated as an Enrage effect that cannot be dispelled and will deal damage to all players within 60 yards.

Watch out for

Rolling Thunder debuffs. It will always apply 2 applications, each of them going on a random player from your party. Upon expiring, it will deal massive damage to all players within 100 yds.

Kokia Blazehoof Notable Abilities

Blazebound Firestorm will cast Burnout upon death.
Avoid the Molten Boulder at all costs.

Ability & Strategy Overview

Avoid being hit by the initial damage of Ritual of Blazebinding. Note that it is always based on your location; stacking together will
“manipulate” where the add spawns. Upon that, switch immediately on Blazebound Firestorm and interrupt its Roaring Blaze at all costs.
Be aware that upon death, Blazebound Firestorm will cast Burnout, leaving you a few seconds window to escape the mass AoE and its Scorched Earth follow-up effect.
Another reason why it is important to nuke the Blazebound Firestorm is that they deal uninterruptible group-wide AoE damage – Inferno. Ideally would like to have only 1 of such casts per add.
Avoid the Molten Boulder at all costs.
Use active mitigation for Searing Blows and its follow-up effect Searing Wounds.

Final Boss: Kyrakka and Erkhart Stormvein

Notable Trash Mobs in this Area

Avoid staying unnecessary in melee during Storm Warrior‘s

Thunderclap, which will reduce your Haste and Movement Speed if inflicted.

Primal Thundercloud have a large absorb on them; when this expires, is dispelled, or runs out of health, they cast

Crackling Detonation at a location (dodge it) before despawning.

Use defensives when Tempest Channeler is casting

Lightning Storm. In addition, use your spare interrupts to stop the

Thunder Bolt.

Interrupt Flame Channeler‘s

Flashfire at all costs, as not only does it deal damage to a random player, but it also heals the Channeler. You can choose to ignore the

Burning Veins buff since it makes them take more damage, but it also increases their Haste by 50%.

Kyrakka and Erkhart Stormvein Notable Abilities

Dodge Roaring Firebreath coming from Kyrakka.
Be aware of where all the Flaming Embers are, and position the boss so that you have an escape route if the winds push them towards you.

Ability & Strategy Overview

Dodge Roaring Firebreath coming from Kyrakka, failing to do so will apply a a Infernocore to you. Once Infernocore expires, it will leave a lingering Flaming Embers fire pool on the ground. Heads up, if you get in contact with Flaming Embers, they will re-apply Infernocore.
Stop casting when Erkhart Stormvein is about to finish its Cloudburst channel, otherwise, it will “lock” you on a spell cast for a short period.
Beware when Erkhart Stormvein is casting Winds of Change, as it will deal AoE damage to everyone and also apply a pushback effect. The pushback effect will also move any existing Flaming Embers.
During Phase 1 of the fight, Kyrakka will periodically target one player from your party to cast Flamespit, make sure you use defensive!
Chunking Kyrakka‘s health is going to be the most important as they are the more dangerous part of the boss fight. Use every opportunity to deal damage to them while they are on the ground during Phase 1.
Position Erkhart Stormvein (Phase 1) to allow your DPS to dodge Roaring Firebreath while not being too close to the edge to accidentally get pushed off by Winds of Change and simultaneously cleave off Kyrakka.
Stormslam is a very powerful tankbuster with a stacking magic vulnerability debuff that does not fall off on its majority of the time. Ask for your healer’s dispel and plan your defensive cooldowns better.
Be aware of where all the Flaming Embers are, and position the boss so that you have an escape route if the winds push them towards you. As the tank, you are uniquely positioned to be able to see behind your group – in this fight, this is a major advantage!
This fight is made arbitrarily harder the worse your group is at dodging avoidable damage and not standing in Flaming Embers. Be aware of your surroundings.
Infernocore stacks hurt; the good news is that the unavoidable ones (from Flamespit) are only going to go on 2 people. The bad news is that DPS randomly taking avoidable damage will compound this problem, as they’ll also be punished with bonus Infernocore stacks.
Do not panic! Track ability timers, and play proactively rather than reactively on this encounter. Preparation and anticipating mechanics are some of the best ways to not get caught out and roasted by the breath, boxed in by Infernocore or thrown off the platform.
