re: Rhyolith hard mode

For remind Rhyolith fixes were (some guides are not updated to these):
- Health and damage have been reduced by 15% on both normal and Heroic difficulty.
- The health and damage of additional enemies in this encounter have been reduced by 15% on both normal and Heroic difficulty.

On heroic difficulty:

- More HP: Rhyolith and all its adds have more hp.
- Obsidian adds: When Rhyolith hits an active volcano, 10 Liquid Obsidian adds spawn around the edges of the platform. These adds slowly make their way towards the boss and if they reach Rhyolith they will add 1 percent of Rhyolith’s armor debuff back on to him.
- More Fragments: Rhyolith summons 10 instead of 5 fragments.
- Superheated: Rhyolith cast Superheated 5 minutes into the fight. This act as a soft enrage timer.
- Laserbeams: Rhyolith casts laserbeams in phase 2 aka liquid Phase. Make sure to dodge them. (10000 Fire damage to all players within 5 yards of the beam's impact location).

Liquid Obsidian adds are slow and can be slowed further. They have no aggro tables and head for the boss at all times. They deal no damage whatsoever. They are susceptible not only to slows, but also to roots, stuns and knockbacks.

Liquid Obsidians do not have a lot of health and will eventually die in the AoE damage going around. A few Liquid Obsidians reaching the boss is not a problem, but any more than that will likely set your DPS back too much, causing you to wipe to the soft enrage.

Softenrage and Phase 2
Rhyolith will superheat at 5 minutes. Just when 5 minutes are about to hit (or when Rhyolith is at zero armor stacks) the raid should use heroism and move Rhyolith in phase 2 at 25%. This is before the 4th Spark of Rhyolith. DPS the boss and dodge the lasers.

Healing P2: Rhyolith will continue to cast Stomp in the Liquid Phase. Healing cooldowns should be assigned for stomps. Rhyolith should be dead before the 3rd stomp since it is pretty much unsurvivable.

Do not let stopy pants stomp us anymore! Be aware of awful jokes about walking:


Here are more detailed guides than my previous explanation.
