Azta’rec Changes in Tier ??

Azta’rec does not receive many changes compared to Tier ?. Besides having more health and damage on his abilities, the biggest changes happen during the three Sermon of Ula’tek intermissions that happen at 90%, 60%, and 30% health:

• Previously on Tier ?, all you had to do was worry about the memory game segment. On Tier ??, each intermission also summons an Echo of Azta’rec add.
  • The add has the same abilities as Azta’rec outside his intermission phase (including the lethal frontal cone from Noxious Bile and the interrupt requirement for Soul Extinction). We recommend saving offensive cooldowns to ensure the add dies before Azta’rec finishes his intermission segment.
  • Azta’rec has a 99% damage reduction shield going during the intermission, so all DPS can be focused onto the add.
  • We also recommend interrupting the Echo’s Soul Extinction with CC abilities rather than hard interrupts, especially for specializations with longer interrupt cooldowns. This ensures you have your interrupt available for Azta’rec proper at the end of the intermission. Azta’rec is immune to CCs.
• In addition to the Echo of Azta’rec, the memory game portion of the Sermon of Ula’tek intermission now has more portions to remember:
  • 90%: 5 times
  • 60%: 6 times
  • 30%: 7 times
  • Addons like SnakeSays are very helpful for keeping count for the memory game portion of the intermission, especially with having an extra deadly add to deal with!
