Quick Tips

Overview – Imonar the Soulhunter is called forth by the Legion to hunt down and capture high priority targets. He starts out utilizing controlling and suppressing effects to defeat his enemies.
At 66% health remaining, Imonar backs up to a secondary platform, dropping several traps along the way. He then begins to use more lethal effects on enemies, calling in Legion ships to assist him.
At 33% health remaining, Imonar leaps back to the primary platform, once more planting traps along the way. His weapons are now empowered and fully operational.

Imonar the Soulhunter Abilities

Imonar will swap platforms each phase. The bridge connecting the platforms will be coated in traps.You must reach his platform and interrupt Conflagration.

Phase One: Attack ForceShock Lance

On a timer, the primary tank will be hit by Shock Lance.

This deals a big burst of damage and applies a 20 second debuff which increases physical damage taken by 10% per stack.

Each individual stack will also cause you to Electrify a unique random raid member every 3 seconds, which deals burst of nature damage to them.

You want to taunt off each other each time your debuff drops, to keep incoming tank and raid damage low. This is usually around 3-4 stacks.

Pulse GrenadePulse Grenade

The boss will frequently throw out a few Pulse Grenades at the location of non-tank players.

If you stand in these as they land or walk into them afterwards you'll take a burst of nature damage, be knocked back and gain a debuff which increases all nature damage taken by 50% for 20 seconds.

Any grenades that you don't run into will stay up forever, meaning that the platform will not just have grenades scattered everywhere by the end of phase one, but they'll also remain there for when you rush back to the platform in phase three.

You can do this by having the ranged players and melee players stack up and move along the edges of the platform each time the grenades spawn.

This works fine and is very easy to pull off, but unfortunately the Sleep Canister ability will overlap with Pulse Grenade spawns.

Sleep Canister

When this ability times out, or is dispelled, the player will expel Slumber Gas which will stun all other players within 7 yards for 8 seconds.

Slumber Gas is not dispellable.

Sleep Canister

They can use this time to run 8 yards away from their Pulse Grenade group so they can be safely dispelled.

This requires quick reaction times, and if the player is not quick enough they may not get more than 7 yards away from their Pulse Grenade stack group.

In this situation, the Pulse Grenade stack group must move away from the Sleep Canister player, to allow the healers to safely dispel the Sleep Canister without anyone being touched by the Slumber Gas explosion.

Sleep Canister

This will mean the Pulse Grenades are going to be far more spread, however if you have good damage in this phase you can still transition into phase two with plenty of space for you to use in phase three.

Additionally, you can also have players slowly clear them up the Pulse Grenades by running into them, making sure to let their debuff drop between each soak.

Moving as a single group may benefit a larger raid size as you'll have less space for each player to spread in, whereas smaller raid sizes can have players more easily spread on the platform.

Infernal RocketsInfernal Rockets

Infernal Rockets will instantly fire on players who leave the platform, dealing a large amount of fire damage to them and causing them to take 25% more fire damage for 30 seconds and this effect stacks.

This prevents you from preemptively moving along the bridge before the intermission begins.

Intermission One: On Deadly Ground

You must reach Imonar and interrupt Conflagration. Avoid his Pulse Grenadesand Stasis Traps whilst running across the bridge.

Imonar will lose access to his Infernal Rockets ability, allowing you to safely step foot onto the bridge.

Imonar will raise into the air and fly along the bridge to the other platform.

As he does this he will leave several traps along the path.

He'll place several Pulse Grenades which act in the same way as Phase One.
If triggered, they will knock back, deal damage and apply a 50% nature damage taken increase for 20 seconds to anyone nearby.

Stasis Trap

These deal damage and apply a dispellable stun to all nearby players for 8 seconds when triggered.

Stasis Trap

On occasion, the raid may be blocked as several traps create a barrier in which the raid can't pass without triggering a Stasis Trap or Pulse Grenade.

In this situation a single player should trigger one of these traps to create a gap for the raid to travel through.

If the player triggers a Stasis Trap, the stun should be dispelled by a healer as soon as possible.

The player can use damage reductions or immunities to reduce incoming damage, however the stun and knock back effects from either trap will bypass immune spells.

Conflagration

Once the entire raid is safely across the bridge and on the new platform, the Conflagration should be interrupted to prevent the Gathering Power damage increase from stacking too high.

It is important that everyone is on the new platform, as Imonar will regain access to his Infernal Rocket ability shortly after entering phase two.

Interrupting the Conflagration channel will cause the boss to enter phase two.

Phase Two: Contract to KillInfernal RocketsSeverSever

You'll want active mitigation up for the initial hit and then taunt off each other when your debuff drops, usually around 3 stacks.

Shrapnel BlastShrapnel BlastPulse Grenade

If the mines are triggered it will deal a burst of raid wide damage, and apply a 30 dot to nearby players.

You want the entire raid to group up and move around as a single unit each time the mines get thrown out.

Not only does this help maximise space on this platform, but it also allows healers to efficiently heal up the damage the mines deal upon spawning.
This strategy unfortunately does run the risk of somebody not moving in time and potentially detonating several mines at once, dealing a large chunk of damage to the raid and applying several dots to anyone nearby.

Players just need to be attentive and be ready to move as soon as the mines appear.

Charged Blasts

These ships will each cast Charged Blasts on a player, placing a beam on them.

After 7 seconds the ships will fire a line at the player, dealing damage, leaving a 18 second dot and knocking back players who are within the animation.

Do note: this hit will pass through the targeted player, not stop at them.


When targeted by Charged Blastsmake sure you move from the raid.	The beam will fire once the debufexpires. Don't get knocked off the platform!

Intermission Two: On Deadlier Ground

In addition to the Pulse Grenades and Stasis Traps from the previous intermission,you'll also have Blastwire and Shrapnel Blast to avoid.

Conflagration

Just as before, Imonar will no longer use his Infernal Rockets during the intermission.

BlastwireShrapnel Blast

Additionally, the edges of the bridge are coated in fire. Standing on this fire will debuff the player with Seared Skin.

This deals a burst of damage upon application and causes the player to take 50% more damage for 10 seconds. This effect stacks.

You want to avoid running along the sides of the bridge if possible, as the damage taken increase could prove deadly in combination with other mechanics.

That player will need to choose the least disruptive traps to clear up to make your path.

Stasis Traps are a good choice because the stun effect can be dispelled, so you can have a single player run into it to clear it and then a healer can just dispel the player and everyone can move on.

Blastwire

Spells such as Tranquillity, Aura Mastery and Revival are great, as you can do a significant amount of healing whilst on the move.

ConflagrationPhase Three: The Perfect WeaponEmpowered Shock LanceShock Lance

This not only means the tanks will be taking ever increasing damage, but so will the raid.

Tanks still want to taunt off one another to allow the debuff stacks to be evenly split between them, usually every 2 stacks.

Due to the ramping damage you take from the ability, it is a good idea to use Bloodlust during this phase to ensure that the boss dies before the raid damage becomes a big issue.

Empowered Pulse Grenade

These targets will deal pulsing damage to themselves and anyone within 5 yards, as well as knockback anyone who is nearby.

These players should stand away from anyone else, as otherwise people will be bouncing all over the place and potentially land in some of the standard Pulse Grenades that are leftover from phase one.

Having Empowered Pulse Grenade players at the edge of the room whilst the undebuffed players hang around the middle makes sure that players always have a safe place to stand.

Empowered Shrapnel Blast

You want to avoid these circles as much as possible. Fortunately there is usually a lot of space between them that you can quickly move to.


Move away from other raidmembers if debuffed withEmpowered Pulse Grenade.	Avoid the Empowered Shrapnel Blast landing zones.

Role ResponsibilitiesTanks

Taunt off one another when your Sever or Shock Lance stacks drop.

Use active mitigation on the application of Sever, Shock Lance and Empowered Shock Lance.

Move away from players afflicted by Sleep Canister

Ensure that melee DPS can attack Imonar during phase two as the raid moves around as a single group.

Avoid standing within the beams created by Charged Blasts.

Avoid triggering any traps throughout the encounter.

When the boss flies to the other platform, follow him and interrupt his channel once all players have arrived.

Healers

Dispel players afflicted with Sleep Canister once all other players have moved 7 yards away (10 yards on Heroic).

Move away from players afflicted with Sleep Canister.

Avoid triggering any traps throughout the encounter.

When the boss flies to the other platform, follow him and interrupt his channel once all players have arrived.

Stack as a group and move together each time Shrapnel Blast is cast during phase two.

Ensure that you do not face the Charged Blasts beam towards the raid.

Avoid the Empowered Shrapnel Blast circles during phase three.

Move to the edge of the platform if you have the Empowered Pulse Grenade debuff during phase three.

Be prepared to heal ever increasing raid damage during Intermissions and during phase three.

Raid Finder DifficultySeverSleep CanisterSlumber Gas

Healers should aim to instantly dispel this debuff to allow the afflicted players to rejoin the fight.

Pulse Grenade

This allows players to soak multiple mines in a row with very little punishment.

Heroic DifficultySlumber GasSleep Canister

Players need to make sure they spread more during phase one, or move further away from their groups, depending on what strategy the raid decided to use.

Conflagration

Players must now avoid these orbs in addition to the traps, as the orbs will deal a burst of damage and reduce the players movement speed by 50% if they are hit.

Seared Skin

It is vital that players do not run into this fire, as the damage taken increase will carry over into the next phase.
