the fact that his is a reference to Arthurian Legend is not lost on me.... I hope we don't have to fight this reference to the Lady of the Lake...

Anyone have a secret technique to make the lines a bit easier to see?

Fight's kind of rough in a melee-heavy 10man, many circles going out in range as if you're in an evenly split 20man.

I know they're not related at all but i cant help but draw some similarities, visually & mechanically to this boss and Hyperion, from Returnal. If you've played the game you'll know what i mean.

This is the hardest boss ever added to World of Warcraft. It requires you to touch grass.
