event overview & strat

Once triggered, Sothgar the Twiceborn will attack and cast various directional AE's.

At set percentages throughout the event, Sothgar goes active/inactive and spawns different adds depending on his state.

There are two main add types to be aware of: Drakes and Globes of living lava (appear as red oozes).

The Drakes spawn only when Sothgar is active.  They are hard hitters, but despawn when Sothgar goes inactive.

When Sothgar is inactive, he spawns globes of living lava adds.  These are unattackable.  They roam around, then explode (short range PBAE) for 15k DD + 1500 HP DoT + Stun.

At around 40% of Sothgar's heatlh, burning lava oozes spawn.  These are not targetable, but they go around casting a 1500 point DS on nearby drakes.

For Sothgar's last 25% health, he casts an additional AE knockback + Stun + FD

When Sothgar dies, all the adds despawn and the event is complete.

Strategy Portion:

As we DPS Sothgar down, we'll deal with the adds as follows:

For the roaming exploding Globes, avoid these using walls/distance to block the AE.

For Drake adds, CC will handle them via mez/charm with tanks OT'ing unmezzables.

Melee DPS, attack Sothgar from the sides to avoid his frontal and rear arc AE's.  Rogues are exempted, utilize rear arc DPS with caution as healing allows.

Unless otherwise instructed, assist MA as best possible please.
