Ys'biml & Ys'bims

Ys'biml and Ys'bims make up the second encounter in The Outer Regions raid. Ys'biml and Ys'bims are the twin overminds of the Outer Old Ones, those who keep watch over all of Thotazlxax's minions, but not take control over them. Ys'biml and Ys'bims forms are each a giant mass, with a great spiked maw at the top. Rows of spined tentacles line from the base the the top of their bodies. Only one of the overminds will attack the raid at a time, while the other is protected by a barrier.

==Preparation==
This fight is very intensive for healers, as there is a lot of area and raid wide damage being dealt. It is important for healers to use anything to help conserve or regain mana for the course of the fight, esspecially in phase 2. For all players, it is vital for them to pay close attention to their status affects, for many of Ys'biml and Ys'bims abilities cause a DoT or other debuff, which can be deadly if not dealt with fast and properly.
