Valiona & Theralion Defeated

Tonight we continued our Bastion of Twilight run and defeated the twin dragons Valiona & Theralion. The fight is pretty straight forward where one dragon is tanked on the ground while the other is flying above you. While we're tanking Valiona, everyone spread out loosely near the boss and must be ready to stack for Blackout which needs to be dispelled as soon as everyone's stacked up. Valiona will frequently do a Twilight Blast which needs to be avoided. We found out the best way to do this was to stay close to the boss and run through him as soon as you see him casting the spell.

Phase 2 is slightly more difficult where we have setup two camps for melee and range. You have to stack in order to mitigate the damage from the Twilight Meteorite. This and the void zones will make healing the raid much harder if you don't coordinate positioning very well. Every now and then a random raid member will get Engulfing Magic whereby he is not allowed to cast and has to move away from everyone else similar to XT-002 Deconstructor on Hardmode. However, if you get Engulfing Magic and is targeted by Twilight Meteorite at the same time, it's best to stack with raid and get heal through it rather than getting 1 shot by the meteor. Before this phase ends, Valiona will do a deep breath similar to Onyxia which will either hit the center, left or right portion of the room. This has to be avoided or else players that got hit by it will be transfered into Twilight Realm though this is only necesarry if you're doing the achievement Double Dragon. After the breath, Phase 1 will begin again. You will have 5 seconds before she casts Blackout forcing your raid to stay in tight group so it is easier to stack up and get dispelled immediately.

It was a fun raid, we got him downed in less than 10 attempts. I would like to shout out my thanks to Nowin from Thaurissan for helping us tank the boss for the night and congrats on the Necklace of Strife. Also congrats to our Warlock Felflame for winning this awesome trinket Theralion's Mirror.
