Earthen Root Enclave Trifecta

by @sacr3dbac0n/The Frying Pan

General Checklist

Strats adjusted according to the typical setups we use everywhere. See pinned ⁠dd, ⁠tank, ⁠healer for details.

Preliminary

Do optionals #1 and #3.

Follow lead as you clear trash, since there are a few shortcuts. Light the bonfires as you go for optional #1.

Scalded Roots (Optional #1)

Save ults and kill the boss.

Corruption of Stone

Checklist:

Heavy damage here, so just make sure group has all their damage mitigation bonuses as always.
Tank should have an interrupt/debuffs for Stone Atros, but healer can help with bash.
Cloak (Major Evasion) helps a ton here, and Resolving Vigor is highly recommended for the Stone Atronach phases.

Two big parts here, Stone Main and Stone Atros:

Stone Main:

1.) Shockwave Bash (Blue Text) – Dodge at the appropriate time. This is crucial! Miss it, land in it, or overlap/ven-diagram, then you die.

2.) Earthquake Stomp (Yellow Text) – Kite. Naturally, you kite through it and isn’t an issue.

Stone Atros: Happens after every hide/Rock Shower phase. Skip the third phase and execute boss.

After hide, turn and burn the closest Stone Atronach. Then go clockwise around the room, clearing them. Stay together! Remember, a split group gets almost no healing.
Cast Resolving Vigor if damage gets too heavy. Help your healer.

Again, Rock shower happens twice, and Stone Atros thrice. Skip and execute through the third Stone Atros.

To summarize:

Shockwave Bash (Blue Text) – Dodge
Stone Atros – Turn and burn closest, move clockwise together.

Corruption of Root

Big damage, most of the mechs can be skipped with at least one clones phase. During clones, dodge each time one dies.

Ensure you cleave the Fawn if it spawns. If he jumps to a tree, group gets damage, and it slows the fight. Not make-or-break, but annoying.

Focus down the bear before clones. Tank will be needy otherwise.

Rarely, the boss will turn and attempt to clap someone (through taunt) when transitioning from clones to main and casting AoE. Dodge if you see this, as it’s the only way to survive without Barrier.

Jodoro (Optional #3)

Kill boss, let him channel. No interrupt.
He may do an annihilation/laser kite. Dodge initially and kite as it can be very dangerous.

Archdruid Devyric

Checklist:

DDs should have Resolving Vigor, which helps a ton during execute’s two lightning storms.

Again, this is another DPS race since the hardest part of the fight (five pillars) can be skipped with enough.

Lightning Pillars should be killed as they come up (except boss health < ~1.5 mil). Either turn and burn or move to kill. Exploding doggos will spawn at the same time, so remember:

In group? Block.
Out of group? Dodge.

Stone Pillars spawn and explode on regular intervals. Get out if spawning and get out then dodge if exploding! Make the habit since more than three Crumbles will kill you. Possibly even two.

If damage is lower, five pillars can come up. In this case, be wary of 40% – 20%, those are the thresholds. Depending on DPS, lead will try to warn of this.

If all else fails and you just can’t get out of the initial Crumbles explosion, then avoid overlap/ven-diagram, block, and immediately roll. It’s a pipe-dream, but can be done with Ozezan.

Below 20% is execute, meaning Lightning Storm is imminent. When you hear the lighting, immediately block and self-heal. This is crucial and the ultimate trifecta-killer. Don’t be the one who dies from self-healable damage.

The storm can happen twice depending on DPS. That’s a lot, so summarizing:

Lightning Pillars and Exploding Dogs – Kill and block/dodge.
Stone Pillars – Get out and dodge.
Five Pillars – Not always, but between 40% and 20%
Lightning Storm 2x – Block and self-heal.
