To allow everyone in the group to share the meteor and keep the casters out of the fire shield is to have the tank stand with his back to the group. The healer then stands about 5-6 yds behind the tank with everyone else in front of the healer or standing inside the healer. The aoe range of the meteor seems to be about 5 yds with the Abyssal's fire shield being about 3-4 yds so this keeps the casters just out of range. |

| − | A second reason for setting it up like this is because whenever the healer tries to heal from inside fire shield range it only takes about 3-4 heals before he takes agro and dies. For some reason, being outside that fire aoe seems to lower the healing threat |

Alternatively, watch the enemy cast bar for when the Abyssal begins to cast Meteor, have everyone move away from the area that they were standing in. The meteor will hit where your party used to be instead of where it is currently and noone will take damage from the meteor. |

General Information
- Level (Elite): 70-71
- Location: Trash mob in The Arcatraz
- Type: Demon
Attacks and Abilities
Calls a meteor down on a targetted player for 10k fire damage divided by the number of players in the blast radius. Also has a fire shield that does about 200 damage to melee combatants so it is a good idea to stand just outside of his fire shield and only run in when he starts his meteor which takes about 2 seconds to cast. To make this more clear: the damage of the meteor is spread among party members, the more that get hit, the more the damage is spread (and lessened). Therefore, when the spell is cast it is recommended that the party is in a group to mitigate damage from about 10k to 1-2k each.
For whatever reason, this mob is not immune to fire, unlike most other Infernal mobs.
Strategies
To allow everyone in the group to share the meteor and keep the casters out of the fire shield is to have the tank stand with his back to the group. The healer then stands about 5-6 yds behind the tank with everyone else in front of the healer or standing inside the healer. The aoe range of the meteor seems to be about 5 yds with the Abyssal's fire shield being about 3-4 yds so this keeps the casters just out of range.
A second reason for setting it up like this is because whenever the healer tries to heal from inside fire shield range it only takes about 3-4 heals before he takes agro and dies. For some reason, being outside that fire aoe seems to lower the healing threat.
Alternatively, watch the enemy cast bar for when the Abyssal begins to cast Meteor, have everyone move away from the area that they were standing in. The meteor will hit where your party used to be instead of where it is currently and noone will take damage from the meteor.
