![]() However, you can also tank him conventionally - if the melee tank and melee DPS are max melee range on opposite sides of the boss (kind of like Thaddius) then Chaos Blast will only hit the tank. The Demon Form tank is often a warlock for a few reasons: it’s easier to tank Demon Form with a ranged tank because then you don’t need to worry about Chaos Blast hitting the melee and Warlocks have relatively high HP compared to other casters, and generate good threat with Searing Pain. Melee defensive stats (armor, block, defense, etc) are useless for tanking Chaos Blast - only FR and HP matter. Remember that this is for each Demon phase, and you'll need to survive a couple plus the final Split phase. See my calculator for Leotheras FR to calculate the chance of getting one-shot for different amounts of HP and FR.įor example, if you have 365 fire resist and between 11,726-13,400 HP, and Leotheras casts Chaos Blast 20 times in a single Demon phase, the chance that you get hit 8 or more times and therefore get one-shot is 9.7% ( calculation here). This is because Chaos Blast has a 2 second cast time, but there’s a random delay between each cast, so the average time between casts is about 2.6-2.9 seconds. In a single Demon Form phase, which lasts 60 seconds, he will typically cast Chaos Blast about 17-20 times. For example, if you have 12k hp, you can survive 7 hits (the 7th deals 11725 dmg) and will be one-shot on the 8th hit (13400 dmg). You can calculate how many hits it will take to one-shot you as HP / 1675 (rounded up). (There's also a 1% miss chance on top of that.) Because the damage stacks with each hit, at some point you will be one-shot after enough hits. The chance that each cast resists is 75% * Resistance / 365. But getting to a high enough HP threshold is just as important as FR.Ĭhaos Blast is a binary spell because of the stacking debuff, so each cast either hits or is resisted. Unlike most resistance fights (like Hydross or Twin Emps) where you can get away with low resistance if you have good enough heals, Leotheras actually requires high FR because if you get hit enough times and get too many stacks, you will get one-shot. Flask of Chromatic Wonder (+35 all resistances and +18 all stats) is not available yet in phase 2. There are also consumables that can increase your resistance - the options are Broiled Bloodfin (+8 all resistances), which is not great but ok if you just want a little bit more FR, and Flask of Chromatic Resistance (+25 all resistances), which is pretty bad, you're better off getting more FR with your gear and using your normal SP flask. So you only need 295 resist from gear and enchants to reach the resist cap of 365. You can get 70 FR from buffs (Fire Resistance Aura/Totem) - this does not stack with other raid buffs like Mark of the Wild. ![]() Tldr: If you have 11,726-13,400 HP (buffed), you can survive 7 hits, aim for 360-365 FR buffed = 290-295 FR unbuffed. Using a warlock tank is a common strategy, but you can also tank him with a conventional tank wearing FR - in fact melee tanks have some significant advantages. To tank the Demon Form, you need a tank with high fire resistance to help resist Chaos Blast. At 15% health, he splits into both Demon and Human forms, and you will need to tank Chaos Blast until he's dead. He resets threat on each change between forms. The debuff lasts 45 seconds (refreshing on every hit) so it resets in between Demon Form phases. So each time you’re hit by Chaos Blast, you’ll take 1675 * n damage, with n starting at 1 and increasing with each hit during this Demon Form. While in Demon Form, Leotheras’s primary attack is Chaos Blast, an AoE spell which deals 1675 base fire damage and applies a stacking debuff that increases fire damage taken by 1675 per stack. Leotheras alternates between Human Form and Demon Form.
