-Apologies for the dropped frames (Twitch problems)-
General tactic (this boss is ass):
! Do NOT hit into 'Thorned Shell' !
It redirects attacks, spells and also hits from your pets back to YOU. At a couple of stacks this ability will oneshot you. Use interrupt pet to CS 'Meat Hook' since you don't want your pet to tank the boss anyways as it is just going to die and you will have to res the pet which will cost you soul shards which in turn lessens your dps. If you can manage to stun/fear/incap the boss on its cast of 'Thorned Shell' it won't cast the spell again for a good amount of time. Do big dam during those windows. Other than that / if you cannot stop the cast: put your pet on passive and make sure it does NOT attack the boss for the duration of the buff or you will get oneshot (side note: if your darkglair/s hit/s into the shell you're dead as well. Only use it when you are 100% certain you can stop the 'Thorned Shell' cast or you will wipe). Kite out the buff. Rinse and repeat. Do NOT get hit by the boss' melee hit. This will also oneshot you.
I barely managed to down this boss after 4 failed attempts and with 0 deaths left. You can see my gear, stats, talents and anima powers at the end. I wasted my 30% dmg buff + drain soul 16000% dmg modifier in earlier attempts.
Gl. This boss is dog shit.
