Haukke Manor Tank BASIC Overview SPOILERS

[LionKing]

Thanks for the write up! Did this one twice. Both times the last boss gave us some trouble but we made it through. Gotta kill the adds or get their HP low, or she'll swallow them up and do some massive damage...

Second boss is chaotic but super fun.

Could be wrong, but I think that final add she spawns is the original Haukke Manor boss? Lady Whoseherface

She will do Blood Rain regardless of whether she swallows them or not, as soon as one mob is down to 1 hp, expect Bloody Rain incoming. The damage is in proportion to the HP left on Adds (the more Dams, the more it hurts). The only problem with her is when two adds spawned at the same time. You have to time them, so that the party has time to recover in between, or kill them both at the same time.

For the first boss, it is pretty much a DPS race. The boss has to be killed before a big gigantic skeleton spawned or you will be in some serious beating. As a Paladin, I go to Sword Oath after doing a few rotation on him to generate hate with Shield Oath, from there, I just need to take care of the boss and the DPS can take care of the adds. They are very squishy, so a DPS fairly geared should not have any trouble tanking the adds for 3s, they hit life a mosquito bite, so Healer will not have any problem healing them. The same can go for the boss, and that is why, Pal can afford to go Sword Oath.

I got to do this last night and we wiped twice before we got it right. First time I'd wiped a DF story mission, leveled from 29 to 30 in the Manor.

That "Dark Mist" puts you in an awfully long stun and I could NOT seem to run out of the circle fast enough to avoid.

Third time I just stayed engaged with the Dark Lady and carefully husbanded my Shield Bash to the point I did very little actual attacking, just interrupting her big hitters (Void Fire, Void Lightning(?), Dark Mist) with SB while the two DPS (BRD and ACN) killed everything.

For the stunting part, she is immune to Stun after 2 hit or so, I am not so sure about how many hit she can take before being immune but I know for sure, you can not stun all of her attack during the entire fight. Silence does not work either.
