On Thursday, December 9th, we will be continuing our raid testing in the Sepulcher of the First Ones.Thursday, December 9thLihuvim, Principal Architect - Heroic Sepulcher of the First Ones
13:00 PST (16:00 EST, 22:00 CET)Artificer Xy’mox - Heroic Sepulcher of the First Ones
14:00 PST (17:00 EST, 23:00 CET)As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a test environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the bosses being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.Q: How do I get into the raid zone?A: In Oribos, Dalaran, Orgrimmar, or Stormwind, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade IV in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.)Q: What character should I use to test the raid?A: Whichever you prefer. We will be scaling players’ effective level to 60 for raid testing, and their item level to an appropriate threshold for the encounter(s) being tested.Q: How long does testing last?A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we’re satisfied that we’ve received that information for a given boss, we’ll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.We appreciate you taking the time to test our content and look forward to reading your feedback.

Artificer Xy'mox and Lihuvim Dungeon JournalArtificer Xy'mox[PH] Xy'mox and his most loyal associates caught wind of the Forerunner's Relic, an ancient Progenitor artifact said to unlock the key to weaponizing Ephemera.

Lihuvim, Principal Architect

With great care, Lihuvim weaves ephemera into being in accordance with the hallowed will of the First Ones.

Overview: Lihuvim's workshop has been hastily converted into a combat reinforcement facility to aid in the fight against the Jailer. Help test new automa prototypes by engaging in combat with Lihuvim and their creations.
As combat unfolds, Lihuvim accumulates protoform energy. When they have enough, they will redirect that energy to nearby Protoform Synthesizers, located along the walls of the arena. During this time, the protoform lattices become vulnerable and can be destroyed before the Sythesizers can finish their work.

Damage Dealers:
[Deconstructing Blast] destroys Unstable Genesis Motes in its area of effect.
Catalyst Automa seek to trigger nearby [Unstable Genesis Motes].
Lihuvim's Attendant Automa pose a sizeable thread while active. See to it that they do not remain that way.

Deconstructing Blast: A blast of cosmic energy intended to dematerialize the target, inflicting 29977 Cosmic damage and increasing their physical damage taken by 200% for 12 sec.
Deconstructs nearby Unstable Genesis Motes within 8 yards.
Catalyze Mote: Begins dismantling a nearby mine, detonating it upon completion.
Unstable Mote

Healers:
[Deconstructing Blast] destroys Ephemeral Proximity Mines in its area of effect.
[Instability] and [Protoform Synthesis] scale in damage over time.
[Degenerate] inflicts a large amount of damage over a short time.

Deconstructing Blast: A blast of cosmic energy intended to dematerialize the target, inflicting 29977 Cosmic damage and increasing their physical damage taken by 200% for 12 sec.
Deconstructs nearby Unstable Genesis Motes within 8 yards.
Instability
Degenerate: Begins inscribing the target with concentrated protoform energy, inflicting 7494 Cosmic damage every 0.5 sec for 12 sec.
Protoform Radiance: Bathed in radiant Cosmic energy, taking 7494 Cosmic damage every 2 sec.

Tanks:
[Deconstructing Blast] destroys Unstable Genesis Motes in its area of effect.
[Deconstructing Blast] applies a long-duration Physical damage vulnerability.
[Genesis Cascade] fans out in the direction Lihuvim faces.

Deconstructing Blast: A blast of cosmic energy intended to dematerialize the target, inflicting 29977 Cosmic damage and increasing their physical damage taken by 200% for 12 sec.
Deconstructs nearby Unstable Genesis Motes within 8 yards.
Deconstructing Blast: A blast of cosmic energy intended to dematerialize the target, inflicting 29977 Cosmic damage and increasing their physical damage taken by 200% for 12 sec.
Deconstructs nearby Unstable Genesis Motes within 8 yards.
Protoform Cascade: Manifests an explosive magical singularity, inflicting 100 Cosmic damage to all those unfortunate enough to be caught in the ensuing blast.

Automa, Prime: Help Lihuvim by engaging in combat with them and their creations.

Protoform Cascade: Lihuvim bends protoform energy into a wave of particles that crashes over the area immediately infront of them.
Upon impact, each particle explodes, inflicting heavy damage in an area around the impact point.
Cosmic Shift: Lihuvim hyperinflates reality around themselves, causing a wave of energy to wash over the arena.
This wave inflicts moderate Cosmic damage and pushes enemies away from Lihuvim.
Synthesize Unstable Mote: Lihuvim begins forming an unstable genesis mote at a number of locations nearby. Enemies standing too close to one of these motes will upset their balance, causing the mote's form to collapse and release cosmic energy in a greater area.
Standing in this unstable protoform energy for too long is potentially life-threatening.
Deconstructing Energy: Lihuvim deconstructs the player's protoform slightly, causing them to disintegrate rapidly over time, and ultimately cascading into an explosion of cosmic energy shortly thereafter.
This explosion inflicts heavy Cosmic damage to those misfortunate enough to be nearby when this happens, and deconstructs nearby Unstable Genesis Motes.
Synthesize Protoform Automa: Lihuvim activates nearby Protoform Forges and begins producing Attendant Automa.
Synthesizing Protoform Automa releases protoform energy into the arena, inflicting increasingly deadly Cosmic damage to all extraplanar entities (such as mortals) in the area.
Protoform Forges act as redirectors, reducing cosmic damage inflicted to nearby players by 90% while an Attendant Automa is being synthesized.

Automa, Attendant: These automa are the result of Lihuvim's frantic iteration on designs originally intended to aid with Protoform creation.

Degeneration Automa: Once used for protoform inscription, these automa now direct protoform energies at enemies, causing their targets to [Degenerate] rapidly.

Degenerate: Begins inscribing the target with concentrated protoform energy, inflicting 7494 Cosmic damage every 0.5 sec for 12 sec.

Acquisitions Automa: Because of a flaw-turned-feature, the protoform energies stored within these automa [detonate] upon death. How fortuitous!

Detonation: Explodes on death, inflicting 22483 Cosmic damage to enemies within 0 yards, and knocking them back a considerable distance.

Guardian Automa: By modifying their own protoform energies, these prototype Guardians form sentry automa]. When deployed to an area, these sentries [engage enemies] who pass through their detection range.

Sentry Fire: The Sentry periodically unleashes a barrage of energy at random targets that inflicts 2998 Cosmic damage.

Defense Matrix Automa: By carefully projecting protoform energy through a harmonising prism, Defense Matrix Automa can partially [shield nearby allies] from damage.
