Skills and Abilities
Unlike most other bosses, Otho Numida is not''' immune to crowd control effects. Players should use this to their advantage. Otho's attacks are similar to many player skills, and have almost identical associated effects. The boss's attacks are identical in both Normal and Veteran mode, the only difference is that in Veteran mode he has more health and does more damage.

;Flare: A basic ranged attack that does moderate flame damage.
;Flames of Oblivion: The boss surrounds himself in an aura of flame, doing moderate flame damage over time to all players around him as indicated by a red circle.
;Focused Healing: The boss heals an ally over time, appearing as a white beam connecting him and his target. This attack can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance.
;Healing Springs: The boss places a yellow circle around itself that heals all allies inside over time.
;Ember Explosion: The boss teleports himself to get near his allies. This results in a burst of fire that deals flame damage.
;Heat Wave: The boss releases many lies of fire outwards from himself, doing high flame damage to anyone hit.
;Cinder Storm: The boss places an ash cloud on the ground, doing moderate flame damage over time and snaring any player within.

;Standard of Might: The boss drops a banner at his position, doing high flame damage over time to all players as indicated by a red circle. As his allies die, Otho will use this ability more often. This attack is usually accompanied by a voice clip ("For the Ruby Throne!", or "For Clivia Tharn!"), which warns players to move away as soon as possible.
;Break Free: If stunned or slowed, the boss can break free giving himself CC immunity for about 5 seconds.
;Molten Weapons: The boss charges his weapons with flame, thus every attack he performs has a chance to proc the "Burning" effect on the player, doing minor flame damage over time.
;Empower: If he is near his allies, Otho gains a buff that increases his damage done and reduces his damage taken. The boss will glow red when this buff is active. The tank can try to separate him from his allies to prevent this.
