Void Reaver Strategy — Tempest Keep: The Eye

Phase 2 · Tempest Keep: The Eye · 2 tanks, 4 healers, rest dps

The 'loot reaver' — a simple, forgiving fight and a common first Eye kill. The only real mechanic is Arcane Orb: telegraphed orbs that fall on ranged and must be sidestepped.

Fight phases

  1. 1

    Single phase

    Tank Void Reaver central; melee stack, ranged spread at max distance. Dodge the Arcane Orbs (they target ranged and deal heavy damage). Knock-away resets threat occasionally — retank fast.

By role

Tanks

Hold threat through the periodic Knock Away (throws the tank + drops threat). A second tank ready to pick up avoids a loose Reaver.

Healers

Damage is low and predictable — the only spikes are players who eat an Arcane Orb. Very relaxed healing fight.

DPS

Ranged: watch for the orb telegraph and step out of it — it's the only thing that kills you here. Melee just tunnel.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Ranged standing in an Arcane Orb.
  • ✕No off-tank ready for the Knock Away threat drop.
