Sir Rouland - Kurns x2 - Second Name

Location

Take the elevator up from main floor to the purple circular pad. When you step on this pad it ports you right beside the name. Carefully move away from him to the opposite edge.

Bubbles

During the fight the four grates will start to animate randomly and then release a bunch of bubbles. If you are standing on or near the grate that has bubbles coming out of it then you will get hit with an arcane which is a heavy power drain/damage. This has to be cured immediately or you will be completely out of power. The best thing is to move from the grate when it starts to animate so you don't get hit.

As the fight goes on the grates will animate more frequently and eventually three of the four grates will release bubbles at the same time if the fight goes on too long. This gives you very limited space to fight in and causes you to have to move more frequently.

Knock Back 1

During the fight individual knock backs will be placed on people. Due to this you need to fight with your back to one of the pillars all the time and possibly wear a floaty cloak so if you are knocked off the platform you can float back to it.

Knock Back 2

One person will get a message in blue saying "Time to fly So-and-so". When you get this message you will be knocked back and will also knock everyone around you back. Once again this is another reason why everyone needs to fight with their backs to pillars. The person who gets the message needs to move to the opposite pillar across from the raid.

Setup Type 1 - More Dps, More Danger

The first setup we used to do was fight on the platform and have the tank stay with their back to one pillar and never move except for one case. The rest of the raid is tight together against a different pillar and each time the bubbles animate they move to the opposite grate and just cure the tank.

When someone gets the blue message they move to the opposite side of the raid and the tank moves into the raid staying completely opposite of the KB focus person. This setup only works with high dps because when more grates start to go off at once later in the fight and the blue message happens it usually forces everyone to get power drained since they can't move and get trapped at a grate that goes off.

Setup Type 2 - Low Dps, Easy Kill

You can have the tank put his back to a pillar by one of the grates and then everyone else climbs up the pillar up high to the flat part. Everyone needs to range and only the main tank will get the blue message now. You will still get the other knock back up top but its easier to float back to where you need to be. Each time you do get knocked just get back to where you were supposed to be. The tank can give a warning when he sees the bubbles start up and everyone can throw a cure arcane at the tank and it should go easy, its just slow.

If someone does fall down during the fight then they need to go opposite the tank when one of them gets the blue message.

Good info, I hated doing this mob when the zone came out.

The arcane is also a stun, and I agree this was not a fun mob at the time
