Broodlord Lashlayer

He’s no longer a complete loot piñata! Now he’s just mostly one.

Broodlord needs to be tanked against a wall, with the tank facing the wall (so the boss is between the tank and the wall), with the melee DPS wedged between the boss and the wall, facing away from the wall. During the first 50%, he has four simple mechanics:

He Cleaves, so don’t stand in his front (hence why melee are behind him).

He casts an AoE knockback called Blast Wave which deals fire damage and slows any targets hit by it. This is why the melee have their back to a wall - so they don’t lose uptime.

The third ability is called Knock Away - he throws a tank into the air and drops threat from them. Offtanks must be constantly building threat, holding the second-from-top position on the threat table so that they’re able to take over after this threat drop, since Broodlord is not tauntable.

His final ability is Mortal Strike - however, unlike in most cases of Mortal Strike, tanks can’t swap for it, since Broodlord is not tauntable and they’ll be having their threat dropped by Knock Away. This Mortal Strike only reduces healing by 50%, so instead of swapping, just heal and defensive CD through it.

At 50% health, he will teleport to the far side of the room and begin casting Blast Waves rapidly until re-engaged. At this point, he is now immobile, and needs to be tanked in-place. You’ll need to slowly work your way back to him. Tanks should move in first, as rooted enemies will melee people below the top threat if the top threat isn’t in range. Melee will need to suffer through blast wave knockback for the duration of the encounter.
