User:Falconeye/Guide to killing Rotscale


 * User:Tennessee Ernie Ford/Guides

Strategy

 * On the island there are certain invisible spots which automatically poison players walking on them.
 * Beware of five Smoke Phantoms that will pop up at the end of the bridge as soon as any player reaches the top of the stairs.
 * The Rotting Dragons that accompany Rotscale use the AoE anti-resurrection spirit Frozen Soil, and will continuously keep one in place, making any resurrections very difficult. This can be bypassed with Restoration, Unyielding Aura or Lively Was Naomei.
 * Rotscale uses its skills with a halved casting time and recharge, approximately double the power and like all Tyria bosses, hexes and conditions cast on it only last one half of their normal duration.

 * A great tool in making the fight against Rotscale shorter. A player needs to raise their maximum health (using skills like Vital Blessing), sacrifice or otherwise lose health to a very low level (using skills like Blood Ritual or Infuse Health), and then use Grenth's Balance on Rotscale. This will drain a sizeable amount of health from him. Using 2-3 back-line bonders and Symbiosis you can raise a tanks health above 3,000 - this allows a massive Grenth's Balance spike when the tanks health gets low.
