Pertinent Information:


  • Currently, he has around 50k hp, hits for 1600-1700 dmg on 11k armor, and does an AoE curse which deals 250 damage/tick and reduces casting speed.

  • Not immune to stun and roots.

  • Coords are 28.7 51.9

  • The Signal Fire can have interaction issues. When this occurs, wait till the next server reset, or at least for a few hours to pass, and then try again.
