‘The physical manifestations of suspicion was trapped in the Jade Forest after Emperor Shaohao defeated the entity 10.000 years ago. The Sha of Doubt then grew obsessed with the Jade Serpent – Yu’lon, the Spirit of Wisdom and Foresight – and now delights in the thought of corrupting her home.’
Sha of Doubt will cast Wither Will to two random players, dealing moderate damage that has to be compensated by the Healer.
When a player is affected by Touch of Nothingness, he will take periodic damage every 2 seconds, and also deals that damage to nearby players in a 5-yards radius.
This spell can be despelled by the Healer.
Every player will spawn a Figment of Doubt, while the Sha of Doubt becomes invulnerable during that time.
Players have 20 seconds to defeat all Figments, otherwise the Boss will heal himself by 10% and the Figment explodes with Gathering Doubt for heavy damage.
We advise every player to stack up while they are fixated by their Figment, and then use Crowd Control to maximize their damage output on all Adds.
