The COMPLETE GUIDE to The Necrotic Wake in The War Within

[@Subforum]

Very good guide. A couple things to add: 1) The Stitched Vanguard can be yoinked with Control Undead. It does very good single-target damage with its stacking buff. Worth it against the bosses, and removing it from the group makes that initial gigapull a little easier. 2) For the final boss, my preferred way of dealing with the tracking swirlies is to just use WASD to make a tight spiral on your initial position. There's enough of a delay before each swirl hits that you can just backpedal slightly away from the boss, strafe to one side slightly, then move back towards the boss and strafe the opposite direction as the channel ends. You end up using very little real estate and aren't reliant on other players' movement. If you start slightly within the boss's model you'll have 100% melee uptime and the boss shouldn't move at all.

does the damage taken debuff from the spears stack? or do you want to stagger them

I Could be lying here but As of right now on live servers the best method to timing NW is to throw all spears at 3rd boss at same time, so I would assume yeah.
