Raging Smash
Earthrager Ptah inflicts 150% of normal melee damage to his current target and two additional enemies in Ptah's melee range.
Tumultuous Earthstorm
When Earthrager Ptah's remaining health reaches 50%, he generates a massive earthquake and disperses. Dustbone Horrors and Jeweled Scarabs rise from the sands, and pools of quicksand form. The Earthstorm will end when all the Dustbone Horrors and Jeweled Scarabs die. Ptah will then erupt from the sand once again to continue fighting the players. In Heroic Difficulty a sand vortex forms and moves across the desert sand.
Dustbone Horror
Two Dustbone Horrors rise from the sand and attack the players.
Smash
The Dustbone Horror strikes its current target for 125% of normal melee damage.
Jeweled Scarab
Eight Jeweled Scarbs rise from the sand and attack the players. The scarabs have low health.
Quicksand
During the Tumultuous Earthstorm, radius pools of quicksand form randomly near players. The quicksand inflicts Nature damage every 2 seconds and reduces the movement speed by 50% of any player standing within the quicksand.
Sand Vortex
A large tornado forms during the Tumultuous Earthstorm, and then slowly wanders around the sand. The sand vortex grabs any player that moves nearby, inflicting Physical damage every 2 seconds for 8 sec. The sand vortex then ejects the player out. While the sand vortex traps players, they may not attack or cast spells.
