The Ascendant Council fight is a 3-phase fight that starts with the Water & Fire members, then the Air & Earth members, and then they turn into ~~Voltron~~the Elementium Monstrosity. The trick of the fight is keeping all 4 members at equally low health, so when they finally combine, the ensuing Monstrosity (which is a dps race) will be as low hp as possible from the get-go.

How to: Ascendant Council (Normal)

Fight is split in to 3 phases. In phases 1 and 2, attempt to finish with both of the adds in both faces having equally low hp (Phase changes as soon as one of them hits 25% and isnt casting anything) to ensure that when p3 happens, the boss has as small amount of health as possible (The bosses combine their remaining health).
2 tanks, 6-7 healers (2 on 10man, 3 if you really struggle in p3) and rest dps.

Phase 1 (Water/Fire adds)

Tank the mobs at where they are standing, just turn them around.
Split DPS rather evenly, with ranged on Feludius and melee on Ignacius.
Dispel the debuffs that can be dispelled (Not Waterlogged)
Feludius: Tank MUST interrupt Hydro Lance every time it casts (If he cant, assign a dps to do it), deals around 60-80k dmg on a random player if it goes through, if anything else hits at the same time, dead player.
When he casts glaciate, tank simply move a bit away and then back in, Hydro Lance also casts often after glaciate.
If you get hit by water bomb thingies and get the debuff, move quickly to the fire on ground and then back.
Ignacius: Tank facing away from raid.
When he casts Aegis of Flames, ALL dps switch to him and interrupt as soon as his shield drops.

When either one of the mobs hits 25%, phase 2 starts. Easiest way is to just get them both to <30 and then nuke both down.

Phase 2 (Air/Fire adds)

Everyone will be running around like crazy, so no designated spots.
Start by having all dps on Arion, when he blinks away, move to Terrastra when self buff happens, then back to Arion, repeat.
The big thing in this phase is that you either have to have the tornado buff (looks like levitate) or the vacuum buff (grounded) to avoid the bigass aoe that comes every half a minute or so. As soon as first tornado spawns, everyone go get hit by it to get the debuff from it, as Quake always comes first. After quake, get hit by vacuum, after thundershock, tornado again and so on.

Arion: Blinks around all the way across the room periodically, annoying to dps and tank.
Marks a player with a yellowish hunters mark, targeted player needs to move away from the rest of the raid or chain lightning will kill everything.
Spams random lightning bolts when not meleeing the tank.

Terrastra: Causes aoe around him called Eruption, it does hit even if you have the levitate buff, it just looks like it doesnt. You can move away from this by moving the boss whenever it casts.
When he self buffs himself with Fists of Stone (?), all dps switch to him. He will deal +100% phys dmg, take -50% dmg, but if you break the absorb shield, he will instantly take ~10% of his health in damage and lose the buff. So start on Arion, move to Terrastra on blink, back to Arion after buff is down and repeat.

Once either one of the bosses is at 25%, p3 hits. Just try to get them both close to 25 again.

Phase 3 (Bigass elemental freak)

Phase 3 is a simple burn phase, with aoe raid damage that ramps up, becoming unhealable at some point. Melee dps are a bit unfavored here, so try not to bring more than 3 in 10man (more is doable, but itll just hurt you more than help).
When Fire Seed casts, simple move in between the fire dots on the ground to avoid the damage.
Move boss continually to avoid the ice patch on ground from growing too much.
Ranged spread in the center of the room to avoid chain lightning (I dont know if it really even helps, but maaaybe it does) from chaining too much.
Heal the target getting hit by Gravity Crush (around ~30% fall damage afterwards), melee also be careful when Gravity Crush comes as the ice patch WILL spread.

Just burn the boss down before everyone dies and thats it. If you start p3 with boss at <=25%, you should be fine. 28%< and youll be hurting by the time the boss should be dead.

By your powers combined, I am Cap... Elementium Monstrosity!

General Boss Information

This 3 phase encounter involves 5 elementals: Feludius (water), Ignacious (fire), Arion (air), Terrestra (earth) and also the Elementium Monstrosity.
In the first phase only Ignacious and Feludius will be able to be engaged.
In the second phase Arion and Terrestra will be engaged.
In the third phase they will all smush together to form the Elementium Monstrosity.

Phase One

The encounter begins with two elementals that must be individually tanked.

-Ignacious

Ignacious will randomly cast Flame Torrent, a frontal cone attack that deals fairly high fire damage and so he must be tanked facing away from the raid.
He will also periodically cast Burning Blood which is a magic DoT that deals increasing fire damage over time but also increases damage done against Feludius, we simply dispelled this debuff.
He will also jump to a random raid member and run back to his former position and leaving a trail of fire in his path, raid members must move away quickly or take damage and be pushed back, this path of fire is used to remove the Waterlogged debuff.
When Feludius casts Glaciate, Ignacious will also cast Aegis of Flame, this shield must be DPS's immediately as it does an unavoidable raid wide AoE while active, we had all our DPS immediately begin to DPS the shield down as he cast it and only had around one tick of the AoE.

-Feludius

Similar to Ignacious's Burning Blood, Feludius will periodically cast Heart of Ice which is basically the opposite, this magical DoT does increasing frost damage over time but increases damage done against fire targets, we just again, dispelled this debuff immediately.
Feludius casts a quite nasty spell that deals high amounts of frost damage: Hydro Lance, this spell should be interrupted as much as possible, our DK was able to handle most of the interrupts however our shaman also interrupted a few.
Feludius also randomly casts Water Bomb, this spell showers the room with water droplets, and if hit by them you receive the debuff Waterlogged, this debuff slows you down and will eventually freeze you into an ice block and deal mass amounts of damage (this ice block can be trinketed by the human racial). This debuff MUST be removed by running through the fire that Ignacious spawns from his jump.
When Ignacious casts Aegis of Flame, Feludius will cast Glaciate this deals massive amounts of frost damage based on proximity, so it is imperative you move away from it and also DPS Ignacious's shield.

Once one of these get to 25% they will dissapear and Arion and Terrestra will spawn, it is advised to get them both at 25% if possible as the HP of the Elementium Monstrosity is based on the remaining HP of the Elemental Ascendants.

-Arion

Arion will periodically cast Lightening Blast, which I think is interruptible and acts similarly to chain lightening, so be sure to spread out.
Arion randomly will Disperse (basically blink and move somewhere else in the room) so its best to have ranged DPS on him
He will also cast Lightening Rod, the person who gets this debuff (shown by a cute yellow arrow above their heads) must be sure to move away from everyone else as the lightening bounces off of other people
Arion's most important ability in this phase is his Call Winds ability, Arion will randomly spawn tornado's around the room, these tornados when jumped into give you a debuff that prevents you from being hit by Terrestra's Quake ability which deals approximatly ~60k damage so be sure to run into the tornado's when you get the message "the ground rumbles ominously" to prevent massive raid damage.

-Terrestra

Terrestra will sometimes cast Eruption underneath him, this spell will be illustrated by a rumbling ground underneath him, then spikes will form dealing damage. Terrestra must be moved away from the quaking floor to negate unessecary damage
Terrestra, similarly to Ignacious will cast a shield called Harden Skin, this must quickly be broken as it increases his damage by 100%, when it breaks he takes 10% of his health as damage, so most of our DPS were DPSing Arion and only DPSing Terrestra when he cast his shield
Terrestra's most important ability is called Gravity Well, he will randomly spawn gravity wells (which look like vortexes from the Blood Princes Encounter), when stood in they give you the debuff Grounded, this prevents people from being hit ~80k damage by Arions Thundershock ability which is forseen by the "The air crackles wildly" message on your screen, when you see this be sure to run into a gravity well.

When either Terrestra or Arion hit 25% they will shield you and prevent you from doing any actions while Ignacious and Feludius join them to combine creating ~~Captain Planet~~ the Elementium Monstrosity

-The Elementium Monstrosity

This phase is essentialy just a burn phase, if you DPS'd all of the ascendants down equally the monstrosity should only have ~25% hp. Save heroism and all other cooldowns (including defensive/healing cooldowns) for this phase as raid damage becomes increasingly intense as time progresses
He will randomly cast Lava Seed which creates little patches on the ground where fire will soon drop, so be sure to move from them
His Cryogenic Aura will create ice patches on the ground, if the monstrosity stays in them they will become bigger, so he must be kited around the room
Gravity Crush will also be periodically cast, the person who gets this must be healed while in the bubble and also when released as they will take quite a bit of fall damage

That is basically it for this encounter, it's an incredibly fun one and I can't wait to try it out on heroic ^^.

As of December 29th, Ignacious seems a bit buggy. About half our attemtps he failed to place the line of fire on the ground, resulting in inevitable death for anyone hit by the Waterlogged debuff. Anyone else have this problem and found a way to solve it?

Comment by 186726

As a hunter on this fight, if you disengage with Swirling Winds that prevents you getting hit by Quake, you will lose the debuff and die if quake is cast. It seems to be a bug but by knowing about it, you can at least avoid it.

Strategy Guide:

Below, I have written a guide and how we defeated this boss.
I decided to post despite copycats. Please uprate!

Our Group:

Tanks - | Druid | Paladin |
Healers - | Druid | Paladin | Priest |
DPS - | Death Knight | Rogue | Ele Shaman | SPriest | Mage |

General Boss Information:

This boss encounter involves 4 elementals: Feludius (Water), Ignacious (Fire), Arion (Air/Lightning), Terrestra (Earth), and 1 Elementium Monstrosity (Combination of the four).

Boss Abilities:

---Phase 1---
~Feludius

His single target ability is Hydro Lance, which is cast at a random raid member and hits for ~85k damage. This spell can and needs to be interrupted. Having a designated interrupter is optimal for this.
Next is Water Bomb, which is a fountain-like ability that spews out towards the raid. If hit by these bubble-like bombs, you will become Waterlogged, reducing movement speed by 25%. To dispel this, you must move your character through Ignacious’ flame trail. (Described below)
Alongside these two abilities, Feludius will also cast Glaciate, which is a small nova-like spell cast at his current location that will freeze anyone that is still waterlogged. This is the reason you will want your ranged on Feludius. Have the tank run out when he starts casting this, because it does more damage the closer you are.
Finally, the last ability Feludius will cast is Heart of Ice. This ability is like the Storm Cloud on Hodir. It buffs anyone that comes into contact with it, and you can spread it to nearby allies. You want to have heart of ice spread amongst anyone attacking Ignacious because it will increase damage done on him.

~Ignacious

Ignacious’s single target ability is Flame Torrent. It is a frontal cone attack that deals ~40k damage per second over 3 seconds. It is always cast on his target, so have your tank face him away from the raid.
In addition to this, Ignacious will cast Inferno Leap and jump towards a random ranged raid member. When he lands he will knock back anyone within a small radius and proceed to charge back to the tank, leaving a trial of fire in his wake. This is what you use to remove Waterlogged.
His next ability is Aegis of Flame. This ability places a shield on Ignacious, at which point he will start casting Rising Flames. Rising flames is a stacking, channeled ability that increases his fire damage done. You need to burn through the Aegis in order to interrupt this ability. Have every DPS (except your Hydro Lance interrupter) switch to break this shield.
His last ability is Burning Blood, a mirror of Hear of Ice. When you have this debuff cast on a member, have that person run through the DPS on Feludius.

When EITHER one of these guys hits 25% HP, they will teleport to the balcony above triggering Phase 2.

---Phase 2---
~Arion

Arion’s first ability is called Lightning Blast, which is a giant lightning shock cast on a random raid member. This can and should be interrupted.
Along with that, he will also Disperse to a random location in the room. He will cast a Lightning Blast immediately after dispersing, so be ready to interrupt.
In addition to those two, he will place a Lightning Rod on a random raid member. After 5 seconds of having this on you, you will conduct chain lightning to EVERYONE 20yds around you. Run to the wall ASAP if you get this. This will wipe you.
Finally, Arion’s last ability is Call Winds. This creates a tornado in the room. There will be ~2 active at all times. By running into this you gain Swirling Winds. The benefit of this is to avoid Terrestra’s Quake ability, which deals ~60k damage if hit by this.

~Terrestra

Terrestra’s first ability is called Eruption, which is a group of spikes that emerge after a few seconds, from Terrestra’s current location. This deals damage and knocks players into the air. Just have your tank kite him out of this.
Along with that, he will also cast Hardened Skin on himself. This ability is a shield-like ability that will absorb 50% of all damage done up to 500,000. When the shield is broken, Terrestra will take an additional 10% off of his health.
Finally, Terrestra’s last ability is Gravity Well. This creates a small well of gravity that sucks you in and gives you the Grounded debuff. The benefit of this is to avoid Arion’s Thundershock ability. Deals ~80k damage to anyone not grounded.

When EITHER one of these guys hits 25% HP, they will halt the encounter, triggering Phase 3.

---Phase 3---
~Elementium Monstrosity

Lightening Rod-
can i use divine shield while have this?

Comment by Kupotek

Levitate crushed targets in the final phase helps mitigate raid damage.

Comment by aeonabyss

During Phase 1, when individual raid members get Heart of Ice and Burning Blood, from my understanding, each apply an aura whenever they tic damage, Icy Reprisal and Burning Spite, respectively.

My 3 Questions are:

Considering these are auras and not buffs, should each of the individuals just stand in the center their respective group of dps, as opposed to running around and "touching"(ice) / "being near" (fire) each dps'er as the buff states?

Which leads me to ask; are the ranges of the aura 100yrds as indicated in the spell tool-tip, or is that the range at which the boss is able to cast the debuff on players?

Lastly, is the damage inc. aura removed from other players as soon as the debuffs are dispelled from the carrier?

Comment by Forumchibi

The puddles that Cryogenic Aura leaves behind in the 3rd phase will damage anyone standing in them for around 5000 damage per tick on normal 10-man (less if you resist, obviously).

With the various descriptions here and on videos, I had originally (and mistakenly) assumed by calling it a reverse Defile from the Lich King fight that the puddles appeared and they would not affect the raid but rather only the boss, him getting buffed and the puddles growing larger in his presence to increase his chances of remaining buffed.

Instead, the boss will carry the aura (which includes the reduction of 25% damage taken that it gives him) throughout the entire 3rd phase, and as I said before, raid members will take damage for moving through the puddles... extra damage you do not want during that phase.

Comment by 457324

So does this make Cho'gall Golbez?

Comment by pezz

Since the first two phases are not by any stretch DPS races, you'll make life easier on yourself if you simply dispel the debuffs rather than worrying about tagging your DPS with the appropriate buff, etc. You're taking a lot of risk, causing a lot of unnecessary chaos and movement, all for the sake of a little extra DPS you don't even need in the first place.

Kind of poor foresight on that mechanic on Blizzard's part, but there you go.

Generally though, whatever you decide to do, do it consistently. You don't want the debuff spread appropriately to one team and dispelled immediately for the other, or you're going to phase them with one lord at like 75% health. Either dispel it all (my recommendation), or do it all the hard the way.

Comment by FyreRT

disengage currently removes the cloud buff.

Comment by InorganicMatter

Having finally downed this on reg last night, I have 3 comments/complaints/points of insight:

1) This fight is brutally hard on 25m compared to 10m. The damage taken in P3 due to Electric Instability hopping around is simply unreal. With 2.5x more people grouped around the boss, it will easily be jumping out to your ranged and healers, where on 10m this is almost entirely avoidable. So much for fight difficulty being equally balanced between 10 and 25.

2) This fight immensely favors ranged. An unluckily-timed gravity zone spawning near a melee running out with Lightning Rod can mean an instant wipe due to something completely out of your control. The best comp for this fight would be something like 2 tanks that can interrupt, 6 healers, and 17 hunters. So much for choosing the player and not the class.

3) One tiny hiccup, mistake, or bad RNG can wipe the whole group. Tank damage during P2 can 2-shot a very well geared tank, especially if one or more of your healers get unlucky on being chosen for Lightning Rods (several of our wipes was because THREE HEALERS had to run out). So much for replacing extreme tank damage with a constant stream of throughput designed to test healer's skill at mana management.

This fight is completely doable, but frustrating in that it goes against all of Blizzard's new Cataclysm fight mechanics and steps back to the "Wrath of the 80k Boss Swings" play style. I would suggest postponing this boss until you are 8/12, because it's such a huge zero-skill-all-RNG gear check that it is not worth risking your guild's health and sanity over an early kill unless you are Paragon/Method.

Comment by Kapira

Spread out in phase three due to chain lightning, obviously, but...

Our melee got hit for about a third of the damage than the ranged did, and they were closer to each other than the spread-out ranged was. What's up with that?

Comment by frohanss

Keep 2 first bosses seperated in p1. P2 is simply to make sure u have correct buff (levitated/grounded). P3 is just tank and spank part. Kite boss out of water pools.

We killed this boss after a 2-3 tries and was a suprice how "easy" the boss was. Just make sure to get all close to 25%.

Kill movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_r7Mw_MekE

I added comment to the fight. We killed him again with same tact without any trouble.
Raid setup is std 2 Tank, 3 healers and 5 dps. All dps does roughly 14-18k dps.

Comment by korialstrazs123

Has anyone else noticed that during Phase 1, when either Feludious or Ignacious hit 25% there seems to bit of a lag time when the two just stand around for around 5 to 8 seconds and your raid can DPS them lower? I don't know if this is only 10M Raiding since that is what my guild currently is. But I have a question for anyone who has noticed that. One night we burned Ignacious to nearly 13% before Airon and Terrastra finally descended and began phase 2. We ended up burning Terrastra too quickly so Airon was around 35% (Vent lag so couldn't call it out). So my question is if this has happened to you, can you start the Elementium Monstrosity with lower health than 25%?

Comment by Drunkenvalley

General

The bosses do not share healthpool. Ideally each should be very close to 25% before phase 3.
What health remains from phase 1 and phase 2 will be combined into a final healthpool in phase 3.

Phase 1: Ignacius and Feludius

Try and avoid Water Bomb. If hit run through the nearest trail of fire to remove the debuff called Waterlogged.
While rings of fire are bursting from Ignacius everyone must attack him to remove .
When Rising Flames is interruptable interrupt.

Tanking
Ignacius

Turn him from your party as he does an occasional cone attack called .
Said cone attack does a lot of damage. Pop a small CD if possible. You can't strafe it, but you can outrange it a bit.
Occasionally he does a . Just wait for him, as he'll Inferno Rush back to you soon.

Feludius

Interrupt Hydro Lance whenever you can! This hurts a lot otherwise.

DPS
Ignacius

If you are melee you should be attacking this boss, unless Ignacius has way lower health in your fight.
Whenever you are hit by Burning Blood run to the ranged DPS so they can get a buff against Feludius.
Don't stand in front of the boss, as he channels regularly.

Feludius

If you are ranged you should be attacking this boss, unless you're far ahead of Ignacius.
Whenever you are hit by Heart of Ice you should run to melee to give them a buff against Ignacius.

Healer

Be ready to dispel Burning Blood and Heart of Ice after the infected has given the buff, or in the case someone forgets entirely to share it. No point keeping them on fire if they're not helping anyone.

Phase 2: Terrastra and Arion

When either (not both!) Ignacius or Feludius hit 25% health these two become active.
Slowly moving tornados and stationary gravity wells will appear occasionally.
If Terrastra is going to cast Quake then run into a tornado for debuff called Swirling Winds.
Reversely, if Arion casts you must "tap" a gravity well for Grounded debuff.

Terrastra

Stack your melee on this boss unless it's too much DPS.
Avoid the rock spikes that appear around the room, caused by .
can be interrupted, but it's recommended to burst through it instead.
It's not very consequential whichever you do.

Arion

Phase 3: Elementium Monstrosity

As with before, this phase starts when a boss in the previous phase hits 25% health.
All health from the previous bosses will be combined as they merge into one.
Keep the boss out of the Liquid Ice! Else it'll grow and hurt people...
Avoid the Lava Seed, please! They look like big fireballs and should be easy to dodge.
targets a random player and does 96% of their max health over 16 seconds.
Also does considerable fall damage.
Electric Instability will be cast passively and does more damage as fight goes on. Kill it before it kills you!

Healer

Be sure to keep the target of above about 30% of their health.
Fall damage might otherwise kill them!

Phase 4: Boss is dead!

Scream collectively like a classroom of girls that have just found a toad.
Scream in excitement or rage when you realize what loot is going around.

Comment by 534473

Although there's a lot to take in about phases 1 and 2, there are only a few actual 'important' points about the fight on normal. Many of the mechanics - Namely the burning blood and heart of ice debuffs, lightning blast, and thundershock, are fairly low damage mechanics which are easier just to ignore.

Phase 1:
-Dispel the two debuffs in phase 1.
-Use fire to get rid of waterlogged.
-Interrupt Hydrolance, move out for Glaciate.
-DPS down Flame Shield, interrupt cast.
-Watch boss health percentage.

Phase 2:
-Get the 'up' buff from the tornado and keep it. Quake is almost certain death. Thundershock is very survivable unless you're on less than about two thirds health.
-Move away when you have lightning rod.
-Watch boss health percentage - including harden skin!

Phase 3:
-Don't stand in puddles and move the boss out of them.
-Spread out.
-Don't pull aggro (This may seem obvious, but since the tank starts with 0 threat on the monstrosity, is constantly having to move him, and everybody is going mad with their cooldowns, this is something to watch)
-Heal bubbled people.

Comment by Jaromor

Could anyone elaborate on Electric Instability vs. Aspect of the Wild, please? Could the AotW have any notable impact on damage taken due the spell?
I expect the answer to be "No", but ofc. I wonder "Why?" Is there any reasonable explanation to it, or is it just "because Blizzard doesn't want to"...?

And most importantly, has anyone tried it?

Thanks

Comment by dirkadirk

As of patch 4.2 you will only get 70 Justice Points per raid boss.

Comment by citrique

Still by far one of the most difficult encounters ingame on heroic. Even in heroic firelands gear, the RNG and tight raid positioning / debuff management makes this encounter difficult to put on "farm" status for most guilds.

Comment by Teldarsterallnes

For some reason my guild run kept getting murdered by Ignacious. i'm thinking that there is a glitch that kept us from interrupting him. yes, we did get the shield down. any ideas?

Comment by glacialhawk

Being fairly new to cata content, is the Lava Seed similar to Jan'alai's Fire Bombs, being like time bombs, or do these explode on impact?

Not sure about the other difficulties, but when I solo this on 25N, Heart of Ice kills me if I don't get Feludius out of there fast enough to avoid him casting it. I'd never seen their attacks on 10-man because they die so fast.

Stage One: You Dare Invade?

At the start of the encounter, Feludius and Ignacious enter the battle. Arion and Terrastra then watch from the balconies above.

In Heroic Difficulty Arion and Terrastra assist their fellow councillors.

Feludius
Ascendant Councillor of Water
- Glaciate – Feludius unleashes a burst of Frost that damages all players in the room. Damage taken decreases with distance from Feludius, and any victims at point-blank range suffer fatal damage. Players afflicted by Waterlogged when Feludius uses Glaciate become Frozen and suffer additional damage.
- Hydro Lance – Feludius fires a powerful waterbolt at a random player, inflicting 196 Frost damage.
- Water Bomb – Feludius lobs a shower of watery missiles throughout the room, splashing down and inflicting 11 Frost damage to players within 6 yards of each impact. Water Bomb afflicts Waterlogged on any enemy damaged.
  - Waterlogged – Water Bomb soaks the player in icy water, reducing their movement speed by 25%. Feludius's Glaciate will cause all Waterlogged players to become Frozen. Exposure to the intense heat from Ignacious's abilities removes this effect.
    Frozen – Feludius's Glaciate causes all Waterlogged enemies to become Frozen solid, stunning and inflicting 78 Frost damage every 2 sec for 10 sec.
- Heart of Ice – Feludius causes an icy chill to envelop a random player's heart, inflicting increasing Frost damage every 2 sec, but also causing nearby players within 10 yards to become Frost Imbued.
  - Frost Imbued – A player with a Heart of Ice empowers other nearby players with Frost energy for 30 sec, causing their attacks to deal additional damage to Ignacious.
Ignacious
Ascendant Councillor of Flame
- Aegis of Flame – Ignacious surrounds himself with a radiant shield of flame, absorbing up to 7547 damage and preventing spell interruption while active. He begins channeling Rising Flames immediately after Aegis.
  - Rising Flames – After shielding himself with Aegis of Flame, Ignacious begins to channel Rising Flames, inflicting 20 Fire damage to all players in the room every 2 sec. Each time Rising Flames pulses, Ignacious increases his damage dealt by 5% for 15 sec. This effect stacks at an increasing rate.
- Inferno Rush – Ignacious leaps to a distant target, knocking away all enemies within 10 yards of the point of impact and inflicting 25 Fire damage. Ignacious then rushes back to his last target, leaving a trail of fire in his wake. Standing within this fire inflicts 15 Fire damage every 0.5 sec.
- Flame Torrent – Ignacious unleashes plumes of fire from his hands, inflicting 74 Fire damage every 1 sec for 3 sec in a 18 yard 30 degree cone in front of him.
- Burning Blood – Ignacious boils the blood of a random player, inflicting increasing Fire damage every 2 sec, but also causing nearby players within 0 yards to become Flame Imbued.
  - Flame Imbued – Burning Blood empowers nearby players with Fire energy for 30 sec., causing their attacks to inflict additional damage to Feludius.
Arion
- Static Overload – Arion charges a player with energy that electrifies nearby allies, causing them to suffer 10 Nature damage every 2 sec for 10 sec. Powerful gravitational fields cause this energy to dissipate harmlessly.
Terrastra
- Gravity Core – Terrastra crushes a random player with intense gravitational force, inflicting 10 Physical damage every 2 sec. While the Gravity Core crushes a player, the gravitational field pulses on nearby players within 10 yards. This field reduces a player's movement speed by 50% and haste by 100% for 10 sec.

Stage Two: We Will Handle Them!

Once either Feludius or Ignacious reaches 25% health, both Councillors retreat. Arion and Terrastra then descend from above to carry on the fight.

Arion
Ascendant Councillor of Air
- Call Winds – Arion focuses and agitates the nearby air into a violent cyclone. This cyclone wanders randomly around the room for 50 sec before dissipating. The cyclones knock upwards any player who touches them and inflict the Swirling Winds effect on that player.
  - Swirling Winds – After contact with one of Arion's cyclones, a cloud of swirling air coalesces beneath the feet of a player and lifts them off the ground for 2 min. The Grounded effect cancels the Swirling Winds effect.
- Thundershock – Arion unleashes a massive electrical storm that fills the room with crackling lightning, inflicting 147 Nature damage to all players. Players with the Grounded effect take greatly reduced damage.
- Lightning Rod – Arion marks a random player as a target for a forthcoming Chain Lightning attack.
  In 25 player raids Arion marks three random players as targets.
  - Chain Lightning – Arion fires an arcing pulse of lightning at all players marked as Lightning Rods, inflicting 29 Nature damage and bouncing to additional nearby players within 15 yards. The damage inflicted by Chain Lightning increases as the pulse bounces to additional players.
- Disperse – Arion dissolves into swirling wind and materializes elsewhere in the room, then casts Lightning Blast.
  - Lightning Blast – Arion blasts his primary target with concentrated lightning, inflicting 196 Nature damage.
Terrastra
Ascendant Councillor of Earth
- Gravity Well – Terrastra creates a pocket of intense gravity near a random player. The Gravity Well periodically inflicts (100% of Spell power) Nature damage to players within 10 yards and draws them into its pull for 30 sec. Players pulled into Gravity Wells gain the Grounded effect.
  - Grounded – After contact with one of Terrastra's gravity wells, the player gains the Grounded effect. This lasts for 2 min., but Swirling Winds lift the player from the ground and removes this effect.
- Harden Skin – Terrastra's skin hardens into solid rock, increasing his Physical damage dealt by 100% and absorbing 50% of all damage taken, up to 7925 for 30 sec. If Terrastra reaches this threshold before the effect ends, Terrastra's rocky skin shatters, causing him to suffer all the damage that Harden Skin absorbed.
- Quake – Terrastra sends massive shockwaves through the earth, inflicting 147 Physical damage to all players. Players with the Swirliing Winds effect take no damage.
- Eruption – Terrastra causes rocky spikes to emerge from the ground around his feet. Each spike impales players within 3 yards of it, inflicting 49 Physical damage and knocking them up in the air.
Feludius
- Frozen Orb – Feludius summons a sphere of pure Frost energy to relentlessly pursue a random player. The sphere gains speed over time. If the Frozen Orb reaches its target, it explodes and inflicts 211 Frost damage on all players.
Ignacious
- Flame Strike – Ignacious targets the location of a random player, then launches a massive fireball towards that location. The Flame Strike deals 211 Fire damage on impact and leaves a lingering patch of fire. This fire inflicts 21 Fire damage every 1 sec. to players within 7 yards.

Stage Three: BEHOLD YOUR DOOM!

Once either Arion or Terrastra reaches 25% health, the Councillors grow impatient and place all combatants in a stasis field. All four Councillors combine to form the Elementium Monstrosity, beginning the final phase of the encounter.

Elementium Monstrosity
The initial health of the Elementium Monstrosity equals the combined remaining health of each of the four Councillors.
- Electric Instability – Every 1 sec. the Monstrosity zaps nearby players with electrical bolts for 16 Nature damage. The electrical bolt chains to nearby players. The Elementium Monstrosity is an unstable creature and emanates increasing amounts of electrical energy over time. The increased energy causes the electrical bolts to strike an increasing number of targets.
- Gravity Crush – The Elementium Monstrosity traps a player in a gravity bubble, lifting them off the ground and crushing them for 9% of their maximum health every 0.5 sec for 6.5 sec. When the effect ends, the player falls to the ground.
  In 25 player raids the Elementium Monstrosity traps three players in a gravity bubble.
- Lava Seed – The Elementium Monstrosity showers the surrounding area with kernels of pure Flame energy. Each Lava Seed erupts and inflicts 98 Fire damage to any player within 4 yards.
- Cryogenic Aura – The preternaturally cold Monstrosity reduces all damage taken by 25% and freezes the ground beneath it. The Monstrosity continually forms pools of Liquid Ice beneath its feet. These pools inflict 24 Frost damage every 1 sec to players that stand within them. Pools of Liquid Ice expand while they remain in contact with the Monstrosity.
