Strategy[]
The Dark Summoner starts out immune to damage. It will start summoning Tormented Ghosts, level 102 wraith mobs with 89,010 health. The challenger is buffed with Guardian's Light:
- Use the Guardian's Light to stop the Dark Summoner's minions!
A light will shine out 20 yards in front of the challenger and will freeze the summoned wraiths. Do NOT get hit in melee by the wraiths. Quickly kill it to pop the Dark Summoner's immunity shield for 20 seconds:
- The Dark Summoner is vulnerable for a short time, now's your chance!
When the shield wears off:
- The Dark Summoner's protective magics are active once again.
Kill another wraith and repeat the process. Try to interrupt Shadowbolts as often as possible.
Assuming only four ghosts will be killed, the Dark Summoner encounter requires nearly 13,800 DPS to beat the enrage timer. Five ghosts raises the DPS requirement to around 14,550 DPS.
