All players should be standing inside Ruby Weapon's hitbox and stand in one marker only. Stack: Two stack markers appear on healers.Homing Lasers - There are two variations to the mechanic:.Ruby Dynamics - Ruby Weapon jumps to a random cardinal and casts a donut-shaped AoE around it.The middle will have quicksand, while the outer ring will be safe. Additionally, once it hits the quicksand mark, it will reverse the quicksand. Players will have to pay attention to the direction Ruby Weapon will travel and avoid it's large hitbox to avoid taking damage. Ravensflight - Ruby Weapon will place down markers along the edge of the arena and then dash in the indicated direction, dealing AoE damage to any players it hits.Players should stand behind the boss to avoid. Ruby Ray - Ruby Weapon will charge and then shoot a wide frontal line AoE.The AoEs leave behind a puddle which explode in a wide radius if a player is standing in it. Ruby Sphere - Three AoEs will drop on all players, dealing light magic damage.Undermine - AoEs appear under the Ravensclaw patches which inflict burn if players are standing inside them.This is generally what tends to kill newer players. Liquefaction - Ruby Weapon will turn the arena into lethal quicksand, which slowly players heavily and kills them after 6 seconds if they are not standing on Ravensclaw patches.The outside patches are generally safe, as well as to the intercardinal of the boss adjust as necessary and avoid. They have markers, but blend into the enviroment. Spike of Flame - AoEs appear around the arena.Players will need to pay attention to boss to determine whether they need to move away or on to the patches of earth spawned by Ravensclaw. Ruby Weapon will then either cast Liquefaction or Undermine at random, but never both. Ravensclaw - Eight patches of earth spawn from Ruby Weapon in the center and slowly move outwards.Helioclaw - Three AoEs spawn, which move alon the yellow line indicated from each AoE.
He then does mechanics based on this phase. Flexiclaw - Ruby Weapon drills into the ground and has an AoE in his hitbox.Magitek Bit - Spawns four magitek bits around the arena, which shoot line AoEs, Magitek Ray, at random players.Stamp - Tank buster on the main tank that inflicts a Blunt Resistance Down debuff.Optimized Ultima - Raidwide moderate magical damage.Markers should be placed on the edges at each cardinal and intercardinal edge, with the 1 Marker North and the marker NW being placed slightly closer to the middle. Players should choose cardinal and intercardinal (North, East, South, West, etc.) positions for Ravenclaw, and choose two stacks to split for Homing Lasers, with one healer in each stack. Players will need to clear Cinder Drift on normal first, have an ilvl of 470, and then speak with the Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (X:11.5 Y:22.5) and complete his short quest to unlock the fight. This guide is meant to help newer raiders learn the mechanics they will need to master in order to take down the Ruby Weapon and have a chance at it's drops.
