Absatalious 
by EQ-Raiders
Absatalious is a named that will aggro your raid party a few seconds after entering the new portal after killing Switchmaster. This mob is a pretty straight forward dps burn but you do you need to pay attention to one key part.
The mob has a Poison/Disease based AOE that if not cured will tick for massive damage on your players who still have it on them after about 6-8 seconds. Cure pots are probably the most safest route in curing the effect because not only will tick hard but it also slows your casting time so a Group Cure if interrupted can backfire badly.
The mob also has a Arcane ability that will proc a knock-up on you. The Arcane seems to be a percentage chance to hit you as you damage Absatalious.
The reason you need to dps fast is because when you entered the room you have also triggered Tythus Tinzok at the top of this tower. He begins sending mobs down the stairs to your raid party to assist Abasatalious. They will begin to arrive on your level roughly a few minutes into the fight. If you have enough dps you can burn Absatalious before the adds reach your raid party. Otherwise, prepare to also fight 3 heroic adds every so often until you either wipe or kill Absatalious.
We will have the names and timers of this mobs abilities soon.

Note: When you enter the room if your raid force tanks Absatalious along the right wall in the corner you should not aggro any of the adds that come to you. The adds path to the left of the room. As long as you stay along the right wall and dont get knocked out too far by his knockback you should be "add-free".
