Operation: Floodgate

Bosses

Big M.O.M.M.A

Most of the healing on this fight is coming from the shield phase which is where our CDs can go. You should be able to Chi-ji every shield phase and finish off with Jade Empowerments or Sheilun’s Gift/Vivify with Zen Pulse procs.

Demolition Duo

This fight does have a dispel mechanic that requires correct positioning. Ideally you clear a bomb that is out by itself and is a less than ideal target for the charge. The debuff itself does a decent amount of damage so make sure the player is full HP before dispelling, dispel targets are excellent Life Cocoon targets.

Other than the dispel there is just spot healing on this fight, make sure you’re watching the cast bar to ensure you’re aware of when you get the charge as well as watching to see if any player is getting targeted multiple times in a row.

Swampface

Swampface is a rot fight with the added mechanic of dodging waves in addition to being tied to one of your DPS players, you must stay within a certain range of your partner and you should agree on a direction to move for mechanics. You should also make sure to tell your DPS ahead of time that you do need to be in melee as much as possible and to not drag you out if you get paired with a ranged player.

This fight is handled like other rot fights where we are continuously refreshing our Renewing Mists to take advantage of Chi Harmony and Zen Pulse procs. Make sure you are not overcommitting CDs (ie. casting Jade Empowerment during Chi-ji) since this will cause dead spots in your CD rotation and may end up snowballing into failing the heal check. Typically I like to use Chi-ji first since it provides longer coverage due to things like Enveloping Mist, Chi Harmony, and further lasting effects that can impact our non-Chi-ji abilities.

While this is a rot fight there is a large tank buster that is also a heal absorb so it would be worth it to give your tank an Enveloping Mist or be the anchor target for Sheilun’s Gift when needed.

Uptime is extremely important on this boss since it is our HoT maintenance but also additional healing from Gusts of Mists. You may find you have forced downtime due to the incoming waves but you can use this time to either send a longer cast or use your Mana Tea since this fight can be a bit draining.

Geezle Gigazap

This boss is mostly just spot healing on your tank after the tank buster, and prioritizing healing on the two debuff targets.

During the intermission you should have Chi-ji for each since they’re 1 minute apart each time. On intermission start he will always jump back to the center-back area so you can drop a transcendence to quickly get back into position if you had to move for mechanics.

And yes, you can roll off of the edge of the boss arena.

Trash Packs

Darkfuse Bloodwarper

These mobs have an ability called Warp Blood which is AOE damage in addition to a large heal absorb.

Using Chi-ji as well as Enveloping Mist ramps will be your best bet for breaking the heal absorb. You can also use Jade Empowerment to get a decent amount of healing done but allies must be missing health under the heal absorb otherwise they are considered full HP and will not be healed by Ancient Teachings.

Revival is also useful for a set but make sure you have Enveloping Mist and/or Chi Harmonies out as well. Expel Harm can be used to clear yourself quickly.

Darkfuse Jumpstarter

These mobs right before the final boss aren’t too scary by themselves but this two pack can get a bit intense. You should begin the pull by pre-casting Renewing Mist for HoTs and Chi Harmony, getting your Jadefire Stomp down, and extending your HoTs as quickly as possible. For the first set of missiles you can use Chi-ji and continue maintaining the HoTs. Then use Jade Empowerment, and you can spot heal with Vivify and Zen Pulse.

Ideally your group should be focusing one spider down at a time so you aren’t fighting two the entire pull. If this happens you may need to send Revival. Thankfully these mobs come after a boss that has basically no healing to do so you should have all of your CDs up and 2 stacks of Jade Empowerment.
