Beastlord Darmac Diagram

There's no real purpose to this diagram since the fight isn't explained very well visually, but Apoc wanted more diagrams so here ya go. Purple is ranged, Blue is melee, Green is tanks. This can serve as our placeholder strategy post!

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Darmac will choose a Beast to mount at 85%, 65%, and 45% health, always the one nearest him at the time.
  • Tanks - Make sure when he gets close to each health interval he is dragged to the appropriate beast.
• Darmac retains abilities detailed in the list up above marked (BOSS) after we defeat one of his Beast mounts.
• When Darmac mounts a Beast, he WILL NOT cast the abilities of any other beasts that he has already acquired thus far as long as he is mounted
• Use Heroism/Bloodlust after defeating the third beast to burn him down quickly.
