Abilities & Strategy
Stage One: Worthy Test Subjects?
Amber Scalpel
Un'sok carves the ground with a focused beam of pure amber energy. The beam inflicts Nature damage every 0.2 sec. at the point of contact, and leaves behind Molten Amber residue. The residue inflicts Fire damage every 1 sec. to players who touch it. Some of this residue congeals into Living Amber oozes.
Living Amber
Each of these animated amber oozes focuses mindlessly on a random player, emanating a Corrosive Aura that inflicts Nature damage every 2 sec to all players. Each ooze Bursts in a shower of amber when destroyed, inficting Nature damage to enemies and healing any other Living Amber within that radius for 40% of their maximum health. In Heroic difficulty, dissolved Living Amber will reconstitute after 30 seconds. In Looking for Raid difficulty, destroying a Living Amber does not heal other nearby Living Amber.
Parasitic Growth
Amber-Shaper Un'sok causes amber to grow within the body of a random target, inflicting Nature damage every 2 sec. This strain of amber absorbs healing energy, increasing the damage it inflicts to its host in direct proportion to any healing received. After 30 sec, the unstable parasite dissipates without a trace.
Reshape Life
Un'sok unleashes a torrent of amber at a player, transforming the target into a misshapen mass of flowing amber that is hostile to players and monsters alike.
Mutated Construct
While transformed, the player continuously expends Willpower to retain control over the twisted form, at the rate of 2 per second, beginning with a maximum of 100. When Willpower runs out, the player dies and the Mutated Construct continues to act, uncontrolled.
Destroy Will
When Un'sok deals melee damage to player who was transformed into a Mutated Construct, his control over amber causes the target's will to unravel, draining 40 Willpower.
Stage Two: Un'sok's Greatest Creation
When Un'sok reaches 70% remaining health, he calls forth a massive Amber Monstrosity to fight beside him. Un'sok continues to attack with his full arsenal of abilities from Stage One.
Amber Monstrosity
Un'sok formed this towering behemoth entirely of flowing amber, and it stands as a triumph of Un'sok's research into creating life from the mantids' amber.
Amber Explosion
The Monstrosity releases a massive explosion of amber energy, inflicting Nature damage to all players.
Massive Stomp
The Monstrosity stomps the ground forcefully, inflicting Physical damage to all enemies and knocking them back.
Fling
The Monstrosity grabs its current target in one of its massive hands and hurls the hapless victim at a distant player, causing Physical damage to targets within 8 yards of the point of impact and stunning them for 3 sec.
Destroy Will
When the Amber Monstrosity deals melee damage to player who was transformed into a Mutated Construct, its attunement to amber causes the target's will to unravel, draining 40 Willpower.
Amber Carapace
While the Amber Monstrosity lives, an Amber Carapace shields Amber-Shaper Un'sok. The Carapace reduces his damage taken by 99%.
Stage Three: Un'sok Unleashed
Upon witnessing the destruction of his greatest creation, Un'sok channels power from the amber pools lining his chamber and prepares to make his final stand. Un'sok no longer uses Amber Scalpel, but now casts Reshape Life with greatly increased frequency.
Concentrated Mutation
Un'sok draws massive amounts of amber energy into his body, increasing his damage dealt by 50% and attack speed by 50%.
Volatile Amber
Un'sok's siphoning agitates the pools of amber around the room, causing them to periodically emit bursts of amber that fly through the air at high velocity. Each amber burst inflicts Nature damage to any player it strikes. If a missile strikes a player while they are transformed into a Mutated Construct, it heals them for 20% of their health.
Amber Globule
Un'sok causes two spheres of destructive amber to form from the pools at the edges of the room, each of which fixates on a random player. If an Amber Globule comes into contact with its primary target, it explodes, dealing Nature damage to all players. If two Amber Globules touch each other, their energies will neutralize and dissipate harmlessly.

Amber Strike also destabilizes the target, increasing damage taken by 10% for 15 sec. This effect stacks.
Break Free

Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Amber-Shaper Un'sok encounter in Heart of Fear.
Eager to please his empress, Un'sok has produced several innovative concoctions. Yet this brilliant young alchemist's proximity to the mantid queen has allowed the sha's negative energies to take root in his mind. Now, Un'sok's overwhelming fear of failure drives him to create increasingly deadlier weapons.
