- Frostbreath Arachnid casts Freezing Breath, which causes ice puddles on the floor where it hits.
Healers
- Chilling Breath deals a lot of damage if players aren’t spread out well.
- Gossamer Burst and Repelling Burst deal heavy damage to the raid.

DPS
- If players are stuck in Wrapped in Webs, pull Caustic Spiderlings over to them and kill them. When they explode, it will free the trapped players.

- Use Heroism/Bloodlust when everyone is up at the top platform.
Phase One
Throughout the fight Icy Ground will spawn under players feet. Because of this, players should avoid standing near the ramps that head to the following platform until they have to, otherwise they will cause the raid to take additional damage and have more trouble with movement during the fight.
The off-tank should grab the large add and face it away from the group, but near enough to Sennarth to allow cleave damage to her while the group focuses it down. This add hits very hard so anyone caught in the frontal cone will most likely die. Sennarth will also cast Chilling Blast on several players. Just spread out and try not to stand on the Icy Ground when possible.
players who get Enveloping webs should try not to move to far, and instead plant the webs horizontally to the boss slowly each time one drops to the floor, moving a little further. This allows the group a safe section to stop Gossamer Burst, while not taking up a huge portion of the area. Gossamer Burst will be easier to deal with for players that are not standing on Icy Ground, and not too close to the boss, so melee may want to run away from the boss 2-3 seconds before she casts it. On the second platform, you can also use the corner pillar near the ramp to negate the pull.
Players who get Wrapped in Web will need the raid to bring the small Frostbreath Arachnid enemies close to them and then killing them. They let out a small AOE that frees anyone trapped. After the boss reaches a set health, or a certain amount of time passes, she will move up to the next platform, spawning more adds and continuing this pattern until she reaches the top platform.
Phase Two
When she reaches the top platform everyone needs to make sure they are also there. If any player isn’t, she will pulse Apex of Ice, increasing her overall damage for the remainder of the fight. This phase is now a race to win, as space becomes limited the longer this phase goes on. The tank should move her to where she lands on the platform, facing towards the group.
When Sennarth uses Chilling Blast, it now will also drop a Glacial Plume, which is an orb that deals heavy damage when players run into them and knocks them back. This becomes very deadly due to her also using Repelling Burst, which pushes all players back. An easy way to deal with this, is to have everyone break their own Glacial Plume right after it spawns, making sure to knock themselves inwards, and not off the platform. This does considerable damage so make sure to use defensives/healthstones if necessary.
She will use Suffocating Webs on players randomly, this will now always cause the player to be Wrapped in Webs. When a player gets this debuff they need to move near to the tanks, to allow the tanks to get the Frostbreath Arachnid’s near to these players to free them.
