Supremus Strategy — Black Temple

Phase 3 · Black Temple · 2 tanks, 4-5 healers, rest dps

A two-phase abyssal that alternates between a normal tank-and-spank and a chase phase. In the fixate phase Supremus stops tanking and hunts a random player at reduced speed while Molten Flames erupt from the ground — the whole raid kites him in a wide arc.

Fight phases

  1. 1

    Tank phase

    Tank Supremus normally; avoid the Molten Flame gouts that spawn under players. Molten Punch hits the melee.

  2. 2

    Fixate phase

    Supremus targets a random player and slowly chases them; that player and the raid run away in a big circle while Volcanic Geysers erupt. He reverts to tanking after ~10s.

By role

Tanks

In the tank phase hold threat and dodge Molten Flames. In the fixate phase you're just another runner — pick him back up the instant he reverts to tanking.

Healers

Keep the fixated player alive as they kite. Damage is mostly self-inflicted (standing in fire), so a clean raid makes for an easy fight — punish is real for anyone caught by a Geyser.

DPS

Melee: mind Molten Punch and the flames. In the fixate phase everyone runs with the target and keeps DPS from range when possible. Don't crowd the chased player.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Standing in Molten Flame / Volcanic Geyser eruptions.
  • ✕Crowding the fixated player so the whole group can't escape the flames.
