Talk:Lieutenant Buldoral

The Basics
Buldoral is a part of the 2nd wave of a two-wave ring event that starts as soon as someone steps too far off the platform on which you start. First wave is four elite guards, second wave is there elite guards and Buldoral. Each spawns in fixed locations spaced around the main room and will run to their hated target, frontal-attacking everything along the way. Kill the guards, then work on Buldoral. As soon he spawns with the 2nd wave, several small "mauve book" will spawn in certain random side rooms. At least two of these books must be harvested for the fight to succeed. Somewhere between 70-75%, and then again around 40%, Buldoral will emote something about knowledge. When he does this, the players who harvested those books must target him (actual or implied target) and use the book, otherwise he will wipe your raid with an AOE. This is the only purpose for these books. He frequently employs a knockback/knockup, has a 180-degree melee based frontal, and has 2 detrimentals (Pall of Combat and Twirling Axe) on 40 second non-extendable timers.

The Fight
Two commonly used placements are to pull and fight these in one of the side rooms and the other is to pull and fight them underneath the elevator platform. The elite guards have several million HP, but whether you choose to designate an MA to burn them first or to simply let AOE damage wear them down is a judgment call.
