A full runthrough of the World of Darkness now that most players have had time to learn this place. Thus this isn't a VG, search MTQcapture as her VG is the best. I will also have the link to the wiki page below that also explains the bosses since the description character limit is a thing so I'll just add some little tips.

4:36-Angra Mainyu. This one used to be hard to me until I saw the beauty of just standing at its sides that way you can alternate the Double Vision debuffs with ease and not die. Still is the boss that gives players the most trouble in WoD if the Raid gets past it then you should have no trouble at all with the rest. Swift Cast Resurrection comes in super handy here for us Summoners due to the high amount of casualties typically with priority being to raise fallen healers.

16:07-Five-headed Dragon. The only thing I really see people have trouble with is the Slime Adds. One person needs to stand in the slime pool to prevent them from swarming. Upon killing the slime you'll get a poison resist buff. The problem in the video was the Dragon used AoE right on the slime pool forcing us to get off it lol since I wasn't sure I'd survive. If you see a purple target on you stack with other players to survive and spread the damage. If you are hit with a yellow or orange marker run away from everyone as you're going to get hit with a breathe attack that'll knock you up and cause vulnerability. If the dragonfly add is on you walk into other players to pass the debuff onto them so you won't die from it.

23:27 Howling Atomos. Not too bad just stand on pads when they light up, go right on top of Atomos so shockwave won't knock you off. If you get devoured you can either let it eat you or jump off. Run away from anyone you see targeted and avoid white hole, avoid the Destructo Disk and take out the little Add too.

26:44-Cerberus. The strategy of sending all or most DPS into the belly really is the best and that is what we did. Can be worth it to mage Limit Break within the belly too. The Wolfsbane outside are also a big deal so take care of those when you get out. Just make sure a tank has steady aggro since they'll take out DPS players fast. This is still the most fun boss in the WoD IMO, the belly mechanic is fun. Just make sure you're mini before you stand in the purple goo pool or you'll get eaten and die.

33:59-Cloud of Darkness. Some consider this the hardest others say Angra Mainyu is. I'd say it's not hard but some players aren't paying attention you'll have wipes from the comets, too many dark clouds reaching the boss or DPS not taking out the hyper charged clouds in time. We did wipe once to this boss. Marking the hyper charged cloud spots is essential here so players know which one they need to get by before the prisons seal them off.

This run was pretty smooth for the most part the only wipe was to the last boss, yeah admittedly there were some issues with the Trash mobs not being grouped up but at least there wasn't any blatant trolling or drama or tanks fighting for boss aggro. If tanks fight for aggro on the first boss it becomes a total disaster. It happens more often then it should.

I loved how the Scholar was ecstatic when they noticed I was a summoner and brought the other healer up. Although the other healer might have wanted to wait a little longer.

Also if anyone is curious about the Puff of Darkness it behaves like the Succubus minion and looks like a chibi form of Dissidia Cloud of Darkness. The RNG Gods had a sick sense of humor and let me win it before the Demon Robe even appeared in a chest for me.
