Dungeon boss

Pyrax, the Living Heart

Type: Dungeon boss
Level: 60
Region: The Scorched Lands
Where: Heart of the Volcano (instance)

The magma heart that keeps the volcano burning, boss of the Scorched Lands instance. A caster in the first stage, he becomes Pyrax Unbound at half health and goes into a fury. His level adjusts to the chosen difficulty.

Pyrax abilities

Eruption

The ground erupts in lava beneath whoever he is chasing: everything within 2 tiles burns.

Burning Heart

Seals himself behind a shield worth 1.5% of his life for 5 s: break the shield and he is dazed for 5 s, taking 50% more damage; otherwise the heart explodes across 6 tiles around him.

Magma Mark

Marks someone (never his tank) and chases only them for 6 s, faster: the marked player runs, the others attack.

Geysers

A lava geyser erupts beneath everyone near him (radius 1): step off the mark.

Party mechanic

In the second stage, Burning Heart asks the group to break the shield; Magma Mark makes the boss chase a single player.

Every boss warns before attacking: the danger tiles light up in color on the ground and a square grows until it fills; anyone still there when the warning ends takes the hit. Two-stage bosses transform at half health, are immune during the transformation and start using new skills. Near the end they enter desperation and attack faster. Bosses cannot be stunned, rooted or slowed. Every boss and miniboss also has a group mechanic: a shield to break, towers to occupy, a hit to split, spikes, fixation and helpers that protect them.
