User:GoldenYak/Elder Sage Council

The last of the great nerubian sages of the previous generation. They have been replaced with the sinister Spidermind, but they remain in service to the Spider Kingdom.

Dungeon Journal
The Elder Sage Council consists of the last three great viziers of the older generation of nerubians that serve Nezar'Kali, the Spider Queen. Most of the elder sages have been suplanted by the Newbreed Spiderminds, but some have been kept in cocoons so that their power and knowledge may be drawn upon by the Newbreed hive-mind. The Spidermind Zoanix acts as the controlling agent of these once respected spell-casters. Now they are regarded as little more than living tools, puppets of their own kingdom's inheritors.

Spells and Abilities
Zoanix will activate three massive cocoons when engaged. Drawing energy from these cocoons will render Zoanix invulnerable. Players proceed by choosing a cocoon to attack and destroy. Doing so will free the nerubian sage within it, causing Zoanix to retreat and direct the sage to attack.



Spidermind Zoanix - Heroic Mode Only
The Spidermind Zoanix absorbs the powers of the three viziers, attacking with their merged abilities.



Strategy
The Spidermind Zoanix will activate three cocoons and shield himself when the encounter begins. Players can break open a cocoon by inflicting a small amount of damage upon it, at which point the nerubian within will attack while the other cocoons will become shielded as well. Zoanix will retreat when a sage becomes active.

When a nerubian has been reduced to 66% health, Zoanix will shield him and activate the remaining cocoons. Players must once again choose one to break open, freeing the nerubian within to join the attack. This must be repeated at 33% health with the final cocoon.

Every time a cocoon is broken, Zoanix's health will be reduced by 33%. When all the sages have been slain, Zoanix will appear with 1% health remaining. Weakened, with no ability to attack, he will be easily slain. Killing Zoanix ends the encounter.
