Abilities & Strategy

Stage One: Fists of Flame and Frost

Fists of Flame

Glubtok shrouds his fists in flame, causing each of his melee attacks that land to deal Fire damage. Additionally, when Glubtok lands a melee attack he will sometimes deal Fire damage and knock up nearby enemies.

Fists of Frost

Glubtok coats his fists with frost, causing each of his melee attacks that land to deal Frost damage. Additionally, when Glubtok lands a melee attack he will sometimes deal Frost damage, reduce the movement speed by 40%, reduce the frequency of melee and ranged attacks by 25%, and increase the casting time by 25% of nearby enemies for 4 sec.

Blink

After either Fists of Flame or Fists of Frost wears off, Glubtok will randomly teleport to a location nearby a random player. In Heroic Difficulty, when Glubtok casts the Blink spell, he resets the threat of all enemies to zero.

Stage Two: Arcane Power!

At 50% health, Glubtok blinks to the center of the room and levitates in place. Glubtok then begins to cast Fire Blossom and Frost Blossom spells randomly throughout the room.

Fire Blossom

Glubtok launches a Fire Blossom at a random location in the room that lands two seconds later. When the Fire Blossom lands, it knocks up and inflicts Fire damage to nearby enemies. In Heroic Difficulty, wherever the spell lands, a Fire Blossom creature rises from the flames and begins to attack.

Frost Blossom
