Abilities & Strategy
Crystal Barrage
Corborus channels a barrage of crystals on the location of a random enemy player, inflicting Physical damage in a 5 yard radius around the location every 0.5 second for 4 sec. In Heroic difficulty, the Crystal Barrage also summons a Crystal Shard every 0.5 second within the area.
Crystal Shard
These small shards of crystal have very low health.
Dampening Wave
The energy wave also inflicts each enemy with a heal absorption effect that will prevent healing on the target for 6 sec.
Burrow
After some time has passed, Corborus will burrow into the ground and become unattackable. While Corborus is underground, Rock Borers will periodically emerge from the ground at the location of a random player and begin to attack. Corborus will also violently erupt out of the ground and resubmerge four times with a Thrashing Charge. After the fourth Thrashing Charge, Corborus emerges out of the ground and resumes normal combat.
Thrashing Charge
Before Corborus erupts out of the ground with a Thrashing Charge, the ground where he erupts will be disturbed. Corborus then leaps out of the ground and quickly dives back underground. Any player caught in the path of this movement is dealt Physical damage and knocked back.
Rock Borer
Rock Borers have low health. If not killed quickly, they will inflict Rock Bore on their current target.
Rock Bore
A Rock Borer wounds their current target, inflicting Physical damage every 3 seconds for 15 sec. Rock Bore can stack up to 10 times.
