Rift Mob:Trickster Maelow  

Normal Fight Encounter

Trickster Maelow (Normal: 17,370 hp) is the first boss encountered in the Realm of the Fae instance. She is standing at the end of the Spring based section between her two guards.

Trickster Maelow is often cited to be one of the hardest hitting bosses in this instance, making her the toughest if there is not a dedicated healer. This is in part due to the fact that her two guards play a very important role.

The guard on her right, Lifeward Brae (Normal: 5,376 hp), keeps Trickster Maelow from taking damage (90% reduction - unsure). If you wish to defeat the boss with Brae still alive, it will take some coordinated crowd control tactics to keep her from reducing the damage done to Maelow.

The guard on her left, Lifeward Celoah (Normal: 5,376 hp), increases Trickster Maelow's damage. It is significantly easier to kill the boss with Celoah still alive, but be prepared for high damage hits.

Discuss with the group beforehand, or have the leader mark the order in which you want to kill the guards. Some groups prefer to take out Brae first, while others prefer Celoah. Either way, the tank generally keeps a close eye on Maelow (sometimes only attacking her), to make sure she doesn't swap targets. The fact that she hits hard, makes a very quick death to any Cleric or Mage that pulls aggro.

The easiest way to survive the encounter would be killing Celoah, so Maelow will not hit that hard anymore and remove the stress of the healer. Then continue on Brae to remove the shield on Maelow and then just finish of Maelow.

Expert Fight Encounter

The tank fights the boss right where it stands. The two pets of the boss will have a magical shield up in turns. Just focus the one which doesn't have it's shield up and change targets, when the shield comes. Proceed like that until the two pets are dead, then just kill Maelow.
