BIG Heavensward SPOILERS. Be warned. Part of the last Main Scenario Quest. I have cutscenes off but warning just in case, even though by now most have probably experienced this.

There really isn't much to say here as far as strategy goes, just a whole lot of dodging, familiar mechanics and AoEs. Maybe the main thing that might catch you off guard is Dragon's Gaze, don't look at the boss when he going to cast it. It's like the first World of Darkness boss.

I probably could have gotten away with switching to Deliverance while the main boss was out but I just decided to play it safe. This was my first time tanking it. There really aren't many tank busters on this one though.

Also, having the final battle of the MSQ in a trial was a really good idea. While it's not hard at least the cutscenes aren't too long and new players won't get left behind unlike the previous final dungeons in ARR.

I can understand why they made it rather simple too. They didn't want a situation like pre nerf SoF again. I don't mind it being simple either, it's a cinematic encounter really. I'd really hate to be wiping after waiting 30 minutes in queue to record this video...as a tank! So yeah, if you've cleared previous trials like The Chrysalis, Ravana Hard and Bismarck Hard, this one has far less mechanics. It's all about dodging familiar AoEs. Besides they've been hinting we're getting a harder version of this fight soon.

I don't think any card drops though sadly...That's a shame since I wouldn't mind playing this one more but the queues for it...are quite long even for tanks now.
