Tank phase & kite phase

The fight alternates between a tank-controlled phase and a movement-heavy kite phase. During kite, keep distance from Supremus, avoid Molten Flame trails and do not let extra damage tempt you into poor positioning.

Progression rule

Assign the encounter’s repeatable jobs before the pull. During progression, clean mechanic execution is worth more than marginal damage gained by ignoring movement or assignments.

Role responsibilities

What each role should do

Tank

Control the boss during the tank phase and be ready for the transition.

Healer

Stay mobile during kite and keep range on players without standing in flame paths.

DPS

Maximize damage during stable windows, then prioritize movement and survival during kite.

Common wipe reasons

Why raids wipe here

Players stay too close during kite; Molten Flame cuts off escape routes; ranged and healers spread so far that healing coverage collapses.

Preparation

Before the next pull

  • Identify the exact mechanic that caused the wipe.
  • Change one assignment at a time instead of rebuilding the strategy.
  • Make sure battle resurrection and major cooldown plans are clear.
  • Check whether a resistance or role-specific gear set is required.
