Rukhmar (tactics)

Rukhmar is a world boss found in the Spires of Arak in , and started spawning on February 3rd, 2015. She spawns circling Skyreach in the northern part of the zone. The nearest flight path is at the Apexis Excavation, and there is a summoning stone for Skyreach at roughly that can be used to summon the raid.
==Background==
===Adventure Guide===
Rukhmar occasionally appears as a blazing firehawk soaring through the skies high above the Spires of Arak. The origins of the great bird are unknown, though Rukhmar is venerated as a deity by the arakkoa, seen as an embodiment of the sun itself.
==Overview==
Rukhmar harnesses the power of the sun to create fiery phoenix allies to attack players. When defeated, these allies crumble into Piles of Ash that can nevertheless be reignited by exposure to other phoenixes or to Rukhmar's power itself.
=== Damage Dealers===
*Stay away from Piles of Ash, or the Blaze of Glory explosion caused if you are targeted by Blood Feathers will reignite them.
*When Rukhmar takes to the air, Loose Quills fall on players at random.
*Flee from Energized Phoenixes that are chasing you, and defeat other Phoenixes away from Piles of Ash to avoid reigniting the Piles with Blaze of Glory.
=== Healers===
*Rukhmar's body is full of Solar Radiation.
*Pierced Armor increases the damage that a tank takes from Sharp Beak.
*Rukhmar's Solar Breath hits all players in front of her for significant damage.
=== Tanks===
*Alternate tanking Rukhmar to allow the Pierce Armor effect of her Sharp Beak to fade.
*Energized Phoenixes fixate on random players, but Depleted Phoenixes can be tanked normally.
*Rukhmar's Solar Breath will damage all players in front of her.

==Strategy==
Much like in Skyreach, avoid the Piles of Ash at all costs, and kite phoenixes away and kill them far from the ash piles. Help kill other players' phoenixes. Tanks must swap after getting hit by Sharp Beak and face the boss away from the raid because of the Solar Breath. Healers must contend with constant raid damage from Solar Radiation and random damage caused by Loose Quills when Rukhmar is in her air phase.
==Loot==
Rukhmar drops item level 665 loot and the Solar Spirehawk mount. The mount is not eligible for bonus rolls, but must be directly looted from the corpse.
