Varos Cloudstrider is the second boss located in The Oculus.

Attacks and abilities

Energize Cores: Periodically covers about 1/3 of the platform with bolts of arcane power, inflicting 5700-6300 Arcane damage.

Strategies

The fight is mostly a tank and spank which requires your party to be constantly repositioning to avoid the rotating Energize Cores arc. The ability causes several adjacent orbs around the outside edge of the platform to emit small tendrils toward the center before releasing an actual blast that deals damage. It covers about 1/3 of the platform, and subsequent discharges always rotate one orb in a counter-clockwise direction.

On occasion Varos will summon a Captain which grabs a nearby flying drake who will start firing a beam onto the platform that follows one random group member and damages anyone on contact. Simply get as far as you can from it without putting yourself in danger of the Energize Cores or dragging the beam across another party member.

The entire fight (even on Heroic) is extremely easy if you kill all of the dragons flying around before landing.
