Honvar the Earthcrasher 
by Vanuk
This is an easy encounter when you know where to stands and what to do.
First thing, make sure to never stand behind him unless you wana test out his tail swipe. He do have a Knockback component as well (Wing Buffet) So tank (s) need to plan accordingly.
That being said, Honvar will take the air at 75, 50 and 25%. When he's in the air, there is couple things to watch for. First of all, he constantly memwipes until he get down and second thing is when he actually get down. When he does so, he'll be casting Divebomb, a nasty nuke that can be blocked by the tank. (about 100-150k)
Once Honvar reaches 50% health, he'll start casting Cycle Kick (on whoever has aggro) every 15 secs or so. It's a crushing nuke that needs to be blocked by tanks.
The fight is straight foward and easy until he get down for the last time (25% health). Below 25%, the real fun start. He'll be selecting a random party member and targetlock/face that person. He do it every 10 secs or so. 5 secs later, he'll be casting Blistering Breath. It will likely kill anyone in front of the named when he casts it but you can ae block it. If you do block it, you'll be getting an uncurable elemental in the same fashion as the Corpsemonger curse in ToFSx2.
NOTE: don't know if it's intended but a tank have about 1 sec to snap it off and turn him before he lock in position. (before he cast) Solid healers can heal through the uncurable easily.

This is actually a pretty fun encounter, but that last 25% of the fight is just NUTS.
