Regular Mode Strategy

Preparation
For this encounter make sure you clear the room of all packs of mobs, as during the encounter he will spawn many adds around the room which can pull the packs you left! To begin this encounter, Pyromaster Cortilnald will be standing on the ledge to your right as you enter the room. Walking below him will engage him and cause you to start the encounter.

Phase One
During phase one, he will spawn two types of adds; Molten Dogs and Scaldflesh Ashes. Scaldflesh Ashes are ranged casters who will stay placed unless silenced and chainfire at you. They are best picked up by using ranged taunt abilitys/range threat generations, as a tank these have less of a priorty to be picked up than Molten Dogs. Molten Dogs are melee based mobs which will follow you around, they can eat your dps up so make sure you pick these up asap!

There is also another mechanic that begins during phase one, and persists through to phase 2, which is the Flame Pillars (see the picture on the right). Avoid these, they will show up on the ground with about 3 seconds before they coalesce and destroy you, you should begin moving as soon as they spawn.

Phase Two
After a set number of adds are killed, Pyromaster Cortinald will jump down and begin firing upon your party.Tank pick him up immediatly, and make sure you kill off any remaining Molten Dogs and Scaldflesh Ashes, then begin focusing the boss. Pyromaster Cortinald will also periodically teleport around the room to specific points, ranged dps should stay towards the center and rotate there cameras to whichever direction hes in, and melee should chase him down. Always remembering not to stand in the fire!
