The Lord of Blades is a formidable Warforged leader and a major antagonist. In his raid encounter, he presents a multi-phase fight. Phase 1: Minion Waves. You'll face waves of Warforged minions. Focus on crowd control and AOE damage to clear them quickly. The Lord of Blades will be invulnerable during this phase. Phase 2: Direct Confrontation. Once enough minions are defeated, he becomes vulnerable. He uses powerful melee attacks, a frontal cone cleave, and occasionally summons more adds. Tanks should hold aggro, and melee DPS should position behind him to avoid the cleave. Ranged DPS and spellcasters should maintain distance. Phase 3: Overcharge. At lower health, he'll periodically 'overcharge,' gaining damage reduction and dealing AOE electrical damage. During this, focus on survival and burst damage when he's not overcharged. He is vulnerable to acid damage. Rewards include powerful Warforged-themed gear and crafting components.
