Attacks and abilities

Energize Cores: Hurls a bolt of magic at an enemy, inflicting 5700-6300 Arcane damage.

Strategies

The fight is mostly a tank and spank which requires your party to be constantly repositioning. His Energize Cores ability can be predicted before it occurs by looking at the very thin streams of lightning going towards the orbs on the outer rim of the platform. They are always within a cone and must be avoided before he casts. At that point, another cone will appear to predict the next Energize Cores incoming.

On occasion Varos will summon a Captain which will start firing a beam onto the platform that randomly follows group members and damages them on contact. Simply get as far as you can from it without putting yourself in danger of the Energize Cores.

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

Note: The beams follow a counter-clockwise rotation. It is much easier to follow when you think of it like this.
