Molten Boss Fractal
Take on the challenge of the Molten Berserker and Firestorm
The Twin Champions of the Molten Alliance are waiting for you at the end of this Fractal, fight your way through freeing numerous slaves along the way!
Starting Area
This Fractal is fairly straight forward, you simply battle your way through mobs of Dredge to get to the first Champion fight, during these fights you will free slaves who will help you fight back against their oppressors. There are eight groups prior to the boss fight
Group 1 - Focus the Veteran Molten Protector first
Group 2 - Focus the Veteran Molten Protector first than the Elite Molten Smoke Shaman
Group 3 - Focus the two Veteran Molten Protector first than the Elite Molten Brawler/mob
Group 4 - Focus the Dredge Resonator first as you cant kill the Elite Molten Flame Shaman otherwise, watch for fireballs dropping as AoE's
Group 5 - There will be a Champion Molten Effigy and a ton of adds, generally you will want to take out the adds first to make this fight a bit easier. At high tiers there will be Dredge Excavators that spawn, as well as an additional Dredge Mining Suit
Group 6 - Focus the Veteran Molten Protector first then kill the rest
Group 7 - Kill all of the enemies here
Group 8 - Last group before the boss - just wipe out the pack After killing the last group a bridge will become available
*Once you cross the bridge the Bosses spawn they will release shockwaves - these will ruin your chance at getting the achievement if you get hit by them*
Berserker and Firestorm
The last fight will include two bosses - Molten Berserker and Molten Firestorm, each with their own mechanics, which one you target first will matter in this fight as once one of them dies the other will become more powerful
Berserker - The Molten Berserker will shadow step to his target, he will do a four attack move that ends with a shockwave being sent out. He will also stop and stomp the ground - white stomps will release ground based shockwaves that you will need to jump over, and blue ones will release air shockwaves, which wont hit you unless you are jumping. Berserker is considered the harder of the two bosses, and is recommended usually to kill him first
Firestorm - Firestorm will fly around the arena and shoot flaming AoE's that linger for a while on the ground. Whenever you deal 25% damage to one boss the other one will gain Enraged increasing their skill speed and damage, you can remove enrage by hitting that specific boss 50 times to remove his buff stacker, at which point it will become stunned
Combined Boss - Molten Berserker - If you defeat Firestorm first the Molten Berserker will gain a new stomp and cause debris to fall on the arena
Combined Boss - Molten Firestorm - If you defeat the Berserker first Molten Firestorm will put a large wind circle around the edge of the arena - this wind will push you constantly to the outside of the area, which can make you fall off and die. Staying in the middle and range dps him down is the suggested way to go
