Tor'revar, Keeper of the Threshold

right|300px
Tor'revar is not your typical gate keeper. Instead of using brute force and physical combat, Tor'revar uses his powers over the minds of mortals to send them into deep dementia, causing them to go insane. Tor'revar himself is manifested as a large being, with masses of tentacles as well as being covered in carapaces. This is not his true form however, for if anyone were to witness his true form, they would spiral into dementia so severe, they could never return to normal, that is, if they didn't perish on sight. It is unknown where Tor'revar came from, and anyone who delves into the research is destined to fall insane from the texts of his mythos. Tor'revar is the first encounter in Omegaheim.
==Abilities==
Tor'revar's fight consists of two phases.
===Phase I: Beginning of the End===
This phase is essentially a Tank and Spank, but there are a few interesting mechanics that must be taken into consideration.

When Tor'revar is kited into the beam, his "Cloak of Death" dissapears, and he takes increased damage by 75%. While Tor'revar is standing in the beam, he casts an ability called "Deep Corruption".

If a player stands in the Abyss for 5 seconds, he will gain a debuff called "Madness of the Abyss".

Every spell cast by a player affected by this debuff, will take 35% of the damage dealt, and any player in 10 yards of the caster will take 15% of the damage dealt. If a player gains 10 or more stacks they will go insane, and eventually die. Any amount of damage taken over 15,000 will reset the time and apply a new stack

The affected player must run towards Tor'revar and stack on him to get rid of the buff. The damage of the beam will increase the closer the player gets to Tor'revar, 1,000 per every yard gained towards him. The player will gain a stack of "Madness of the Abyss" if they are connected for more then 15 seconds, and 1 more for every 5 seconds after that.

===Phase II: Even Death Must Die===
Tor'revar will teleport 5 players into the Abyss, outside of known time and space. He will always teleport 1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 DPS (or the equivalent amount of players in 25 man). Players in the Abyss will fight Tor'revars true form, only known as his "Shadow Apparation", who possesses unique abilities, while Tor'revar in Omegaheim still possesses the abilities from phase 1. The Shadow Apparation has 50% of Tor'revars HP.
(For lore reasons, players who experience the Abyss cannot tell the NPCs what happened.)

Every time a player does not deal damage for 5 seconds, they gain a stack of this, if a player gains 5 stacks, the player will spiral into hysteria, and die.

==Prepartation==
For this fight, if in 10 man mode, split your group into 2 basic 5 man groups of 1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 DPS, as he will later split up the groups in phase 2. Aside from that, make sure all players have a higher shadow resistance to reduce damage, even if it is very small. Healers should save their cooldowns for large, raid damage abilities.
==Tactics==
===Phase 1===
During phase 1, it is CRUTIAL that the main tank kites Tor'revar into the light of "Call of the Elder Gods" for if he doesn't (say for example your going for the achievement (Perpetual Darkness)) the fight will take a long time and be incredibly hard. "Madness of the Abyss" is an important part of this fight, it can kill easily if not careful, as well as that it cannot be dispelled by any means. If you have the debuff, be careful, and try your best not to take damage. "Deaths Connection" can also be incredibly dangerous, a warning will appear on the screen if you are targeted for this ability, and when that warning appears, there are 2 important things to remeber:
#Have a healer assigned to heal the player affected, as the increasing damage can kill.
#Use anything to get you to Tor'revar faster (potions, abilities, buffs) anything to help you survive, and hopefully avoid the extra debuff.
===Phase 2===
Phase 2, if not dealt with properly, can wipe raids many times. The players still fighting Tor'revar should stick with the tactics described above, but those fighting the Shadow Apparation should keep one rule in mind:
#DON'T USE ABILITIES!
Only using your basic attacks will give you the required sustained damage to avoid "Void Disinhibiton" and lower damage enough for the rest of the raid to take down Tor'revar before you kill the Shadow Apparation. All of the Shadow Apparations abilities cannot be avoided, and as such can only be healed through, aside from "Petrifying Gaze" just do your best to stay alive.
