Shadow of Depravity

Lair Boss

Savage Coast

The Shadow of Depravity is one of three lair bosses located at the Savage Coast lair.  The Shadow is a large filth beast with tactics similar to the last sets of trash mobs in the Ankh dungeon..  Agetor writes that the Shadow of Depravity is a:

Channel filth that damage rapidly, dodging the channel filth pool create a second pool under you that you have to get out of. Does frontal AoE and a full AoE around him. Sometimes recall you to him for the full AoE. Full AoE can insta kill if not out of the AoE zone.

In our experience, this is the most mechanically rich of the three Savage Coast lair bosses.  The Shadow of Depravity uses several filth oriented attacks.  He has a large cone filth attack, a targeted pbaoe and a chasing filth puddle.  The chasing puddle generally follows the tank around.  The Shadow of Depravity also casts a large PBAOE which should be avoided.

All together, this creates quite a bit of running around for your tank and a fair bit of movement for your party.  Additionally, since this damage is filth oriented, it can stack up rather fast, requiring some effort on the part of your healer.
