Talk:Iilsaad's Barrier

The Basics
He is blind as a bat, so you can set everyone up as you need to before the pull. You have to step almost on his rug before he will attack.

You may feel like there is a lot more to this fight than these few paragraphs, but there really isn't. Placement and jousting is a problem for the raid leader and can be very dynamic and very complicated at times. The mechanics of the mob and this fight, however, are very very simple.

The Fight
He has a reactive knockback on him at all times and will occasionally throw out a curse which is nothing more than a root.

Barrier of Flames rage, Barrier's Crushing Barrier and Barrier's Icy Tempest are on 45 second timers and occur 10 seconds apart. Each of these detrimentals is curable and ticks for massive damage on the second round, so it's important to consider group cure recast timers here.

A red message will appear on every screen in the raid identifying who has just been 'quaked' and a white circle will appear on the ground around that person. After about 3 or 4 seconds, anyone who is inside that white circle will take a sizable hit that is likely to be lethal to anyone not prepared for it.

Quakes
Whether you joust from one side of the room clear to the other, or to go from one end of the inner circle to the other is up to you, but I recommend always having a backup plan just in case he quakes someone who just got knocked back and was standing in the dead center of the room.
