Adventure Guide
The plague of corrupted blood killed countless trolls and began one of the most terrifying periods in Zandalar's history. The constructs within Uldir studied the disease in search of a cure, but found that only isolation and extermination was effecive. Unfortunately, as the facility's safeguards cracked apart, the plague was accidentally combined with a sample of G'huun's blood, creating a new entity that hungered for fresh victims.
Overview
Vectis creates instances of Omega Vector which bounce endlessly between players during the encounter. When Omega Vector jumps between players it leaves behind a stack of Lingering Infection, which has no duration and cannot be removed. Vectis will create multiple instances of Omega Vector at the beginning of the encounter.
Damage Dealers
- Kill Plague Amalgams quickly to prevent excessive healing absorption from Immunosuppression.
- Areas targeted by Plague Bomb that detonate without players inside them will spawn an additional Plague Amalgam.
- Avoid the area damage from targets affected by Gestate.
- Communicate with your allies to control hosts for Omega Vector.
Healers
- Targets afflicted by Omega Vector and Gestate will require heavy healing to survive.
- Communicate with your allies to control hosts for Omega Vector.
- Areas targeted by Plague Bomb that detonate without players inside them will spawn an additional Plague Amalgam.
Tanks
