Strategy

Falric will begin by unleashing the first four waves of adds, a random assortment of the following mobs, in increasing numbers each wave:

•  Ghostly Priest - casts Shadow Word: Pain, Circle of Destruction, Cower in Fear and Dark Mending.
•  Phantom Mage - casts Fireball, Frostbolt, Chains of Ice and Flamestrike. Summons Phantom Hallucinations.
  •  Phantom Hallucination - same spells as the Phantom Mage. Summoned with the same amount of health. Explodes when killed.
•  Shadowy Mercenary - Rogue that inflicts Deadly Poison and also throws poisoned daggers.
•  Spectral Footman - Warrior who can shield bash and enrage.
•  Tortured Rifleman - Hunter that can shoot normal projectiles, Ice Shots or Cursed Arrows, and sets Frost Traps.

The trash proximity aggro on whoever is closest when the mobs become active. Thus, the easiest way to handle the waves is to stand in the entrance hallway or the alcoves with Falric or Marywn with the tank on point so that the tank, and not the healer or squishy DPS, winds up with initial aggro. The priests should be taken care of first – Dark Mending heals for a very large amount if it is not interrupted. The rest of the pull can be dealt with as the party sees fit. Do not underestimate undead-capable crowd control if things get out of hand.

At wave 5, Falric will become active and attack. Counteract the fear as much as possible ( [Tremor Totem], Every Man for Himself, [Will of the Forsaken], bubble, etc.) and dispel the Impending Despair. Take extra care when Hopelessness is active, and be sure to top off your tank (or anyone who might be taking damage).

After Falric dies, Marwyn will begin the next waves with the same assortments of mobs, just more of them. At wave 10, he will become active and attack. Dispel the Shared Suffering at your own risk - otherwise, just heal through it, and stay out of the Wells of Corruption. Extra heals to the tank when hit by Obliterate.
