Lord Rhyolith
Official Overview (Blizzard)
The encounter consists of two stages. In Stage One, players must force Rhyolith to step on randomly spawned volcanoes by hitting either of his feet. Damaging one foot more than the other causes Rhyolith to walk in that direction. Evenly damaging the two feet will force Rhyolith to walk in a straight line. Stage Two is a race to defeat Rhyolith before his Immolation ability burns the raid down.
Tanks
• During Stage One, you will tank adds that spawn throughout the playspace. In Stage Two, you will need to tank Rhyolith. • Sparks of Rhyolith inflict Fire damage to all nearby players.
Healers
• As the number of Volcanoes increases, the frequency of Eruption increases. • In Phase Two, Immolation will continually burn your raid.
Damage Dealers
• Rhyolith's movements are controlled by the ratio of damage being done to his two feet. More damage on the right foot will make him turn right; and more damage on the left foot will make him turn left. Damaging both equally will cause him to move in a straight line. • Damaging Rhyolith's body in Stage One will equally distribute the damage between both of Rhyolith's feet. • Don't let Rhyolith reach the lava around hit platform or else he will Drink the Magma. • If Rhyolith steps on an active volcano, he will lose armor. If he steps on a dormant volcano, he will gain armor.
