Outline
High Botanist Tel'arn is a 3-phase encounter in the Nighthold. It begins as single target fight with light add cleave, but progresses into a council style fight with multiple bosses as the encounter proceeds. Most of the fight revolves around zone control and management, and is a test of mechanical prowess and reactivity.
Phase One
In this phase you face High Botanist Tel'arn as a single form. He will apply
Recursive Strikes to his target, which inflicts 15%
of his melee attack to players with the debuff. Each stack will increase the
damage taken from Recursive Strikes by 15%. This effect lasts 15 seconds and
is applied on each melee swing.
Parasitic Fetter will target a random player and
root them in place. It deals ticking Nature damage that increases for every
second it is not dispelled. When dispelled, it spawns a
Parasitic Lasher, which will fixate a random player
and pursue them. If it reaches them, it will infest them and cause a new
Parasitic Fetter. The lashers will grow every 3
seconds from
Rampant Growth, increasing their
movement speed by 25%. They can be stunned, slowed, and rooted until they
reach 5 stacks of
Rampant Growth, when they become
immune.
Solar Collapse occurs periodically. Tel'arn will
summon 12 points of energy that form a circle, with several yards of space in
between each. They will collapse towards the center point, with the space in
between the points continually growing smaller until they overlap. Anyone
hit by the energy will take very high Fire damage.
Controlled Chaos occurs periodically. Tel'arn will
target a random player and create an Arcane zone with a radius of 10 yards.
After a few seconds, the zone will explode and deal heavy Arcane damage to
anyone caught inside of it. It will then expand to a 20-yard radius, explode,
and expand again to a 30-yard radius before exploding a final time. Controlled
Chaos will moderate raid wide Arcane damage regardless of whether you dodge
the main explosion or not.
Phase Two
At 75% health, High Botanist Tel'arn will split into two forms; High
Botanist Tel'arn, and Solarist Tel'arn. The two images share health. All the
mechanics of Phase One remain present in this phase, in addition to several
new abilities performed by the Solarist (listed below). In addition,
Solar Collapse is now cast by the Solaris form exclusively (the
High Botanist form no longer casts it).
Flare deals light Fire damage to the tank and
all players within 4 yards.
Summon Plasma Spheres occurs approximately once
every minute. Solarist Tel'arn will spawn 3 Plasma Spheres in an equilateral
triangle in the center of the room. Each orb is self immolating, losing 4%
of their maximum health every 0.5 seconds. When they die, they release a
Plasma Explosion, which deals moderate Fire damage
and increases damage from Plasma Explosion by 100% for 5 seconds.
Phase Three
At 50% health, High Botanist Tel'arn will split into an Arcanist and a
Naturalist. The Solarist remains, for a total of 3 bosses for the remainder of
the encounter. Just as in Phase Two, all of the bosses share health. All the
mechanics of Phase One and Phase Two remain present in this phase, in addition
to several new abilities performed by the Arcanist and Naturalist (listed below).
Other than these new abilities, the Arcanist will continue to apply
Recursive Strikes and cast
Controlled Chaos and the Naturalist
will be the one casting
Parasitic Fetter.
Toxic Spores (Naturalist) will recurrently spawn throughout
the remainder of the fight. Coming into contact with a spore will cause
moderate Nature damage every 0.5 seconds for 12 seconds.
Grace of Nature (Naturalist) will create a zone that heals him
and his allies for 3% of their maximum health every 3 seconds they are inside
the pool.
Call of Night (Arcanist) marks several players with a debuff
that inflicts continuous raid wide Arcane damage if they are not within 5 yards
of a player without the debuff. The damage is also triggered if they come
within 5 yards of another player afflicted with Call of Night.
