Strategy

Battle information

  • Special abilities
    • Charms random targets and fully heals them. Heavily influenced by MR (over 200 and it lasts roughly one tick or none at all).
  • HP: 400,000
  • Max Hit: ~170 - his DPS decreases significantly as charmed players are damaged/killed and trigger his emote.

HP is enormous on this adept and the vast majority of DPS is done by attacking PCs he charms. Damaging them will cause one emote at (presumed) 50% hp and again on death. Each of these causes 50k damage to Cyclonus and decreases his DPS. Do not prioritize DPS on Cyclonus as having both tanks charmed back to back can result in a full hate reset.

The charm message "Soandso is seduced by the winds" occurs roughly 8 seconds after Cyclonus emotes about "bombogenesis" and is preceded by a 400 point AoE. Unknown if it can be ranged.

Recommended 8+ characters containing: 2 on level tanks - having high magic resist is a significant benefit and will prevent your tanks from inflicting damage on the raid. Their weapons can be removed prior to the charm to minimize this impact. 2-3 on level clerics - using additional lower level (27+) healers is also great here, as they will be easy to kill and still have a significant contribution. a minimum of 4 other easy to kill characters - level doesn't matter much at all and you'll want to strip their non-offensive gear and run no HP buffs. Hope that these PCs get charmed first.

Also recommended to clear the surrounding area of mobs as Cyclonus is a nexus of numerous pathing routes for Griffons, Hill Giants, and other things you really don't want joining mid battle.
