Loot The loot from this encounter can be found in , spawned by herself. Guide See this (outdated) blog entry for an overview of the fight. Overview The fight against Malygos consists of three phases. Phase 1 is only slightly more than a tank 'n' spank fight. The tank needs to have Malygos faced away from the raid to avoid the others being damaged by Arcane Breath. Throughout the phase, Power Sparks spawn off star light at the edges of the room and attempt to slowly approach Malygos. The best thing is killing them in a 5-10 yards distance to Malygos, so melee and ranged DPS get advantage of the damage increasing buff which otherwise would have been granted to the boss, stackingly increasing his damage. Crowd Control is an awesome tool. At least 20k health is needed to survive the vortices cast throughout the fight. Players will only be able to cast instant spells and suffer periodical damage. While in a vortex, players spin around the transform, being slowly dragged to it and fall. Phase 2 begins when Malygos has lost 50% of his health. Slowly shifting in the air, players have approximately 10 seconds time to DPS him. In this Phase, two different NPC groups will spawn, namely Nexus Lords and Scions of Eternity. Protective Bubbles repeatedly spawn and become smaller over time so raid members are forced to move when they get small. They decrease Arcane damage taken by the players inside them. Flying Nexus Lords need to be tanked while standing in the bubbles. Once a Lord is dead, his disc will drop and a raid member can hop on it and kill the flying Scions of Eternity, whose discs also can pick up other players. Ranged DPS should focus on Scions. While standing on a disc, players do take damage, therefore they should fly high to avoid Malygos' Deep Breaths, also known as Arcane Pulse. This should be repeated until all NPCs are dead. Once all NPCs are dead, Phase 3, a vehicle phase, will begin. Players are sent out flying on dragons, using special abilities. The raid needs to stack to get advantage of the healers' AoE heals which is pretty much the only thing to do. The dragons you will be riding have Rogue-like abilities. The optimal rotation for DPS is having two combo points and then use a finishing move, for healers using the lesser heals five times and then blow off the big one. Note that combo points earned through Flame Spikes cannot be used for the Burst of Life and respectively Revivify combo points not for Engulf in Flames. Malygos will occasionally cast Surge of Power, which will kill the player if no heals occur. Due to the group stacking this will not be a difficult problem. Static Fields occur throughout Phase 3 and the raid should move to one side to stay in group. Phase 3 can be practised through the daily quest (Quest #13414) given by .
