Rodath, Keeper of Echoes

Rodath, the Keeper of Echoes, is the eighth and final boss of the Pinnacle of Echoes raid. Rodath has incredible magical powers, allowing him to cast immensely strong magical abilities. Along with his magic powers, Rodath has also been twisted by the Time Plague, granting him powers over time. Rodath has the ability to call upon "echoes" of previous battles, allowing him to cast abilities, and possess mechanics from previous boss fights, throughout all previous Legend's Legacy patches.
==History==
Rodath, long ago, was a priest trying to cure the Plains of Lost Time, or as it was known back then, Highwinds Plains, of the Time Plague. Rodath succeeded in this task, curing the plains of the Time Plague, only to have the Time Plague corrupt and twist his body in its image. Now, Rodath uses his magic and Time Plague abilities to corrupt and twist the land to his image.

==Preparation==
This fight is insanely difficult, and should not be taken lightly. First off, do not attempt this fight on master or higher unless your entire group is geared in master or higher Scarnia gear, or full Pinnacle gear. During all phases, healers with have a very hard time, a lot of damage will be dealt, to many targets at the same time. Phase two will be a slight rest for healers if players are smart and dodge any and all abilities. No matter your position, use cooldowns as often as possible, it will make your life a whole lot easier.
In conclusion, be smart, dodge any attacks you can, giving your healers more time to focus on healing the tanks. Tanks should switch out often, not just because of abilties taht require tanks to switch, but just to give the first tank a break, this fight is intense, hard, and stressful.

*With each strike my blows grow more powerful, with each strike can I rain blows down upon you with speeds immeasurable.
*With this blade, the blade forged from the might of a collapsing universe, this blade Godrend, shall your doom be spelled out for you! From within this blade I shall crush you with the power of which it is created!

*Jirion: You cannot forese everything Rodath, especially when it comes to these heroes. They can always manage to surprise you.
*Rodath: The Time Plague was supposed to make me invincible, all powerful! How can I fall now!?
*Jirion: Allow me to quote someone. "No matter what, light will always win." I think that was the quote... Regardless, now we can begin to heal this land, finally fix the lands, and return it to its previous state.
*Rodath: All my work, all this time, all my power, was for naught! I go in shame...
