Karven the Hunter

Karven the Hunter is the second boss of the Temple Terrace and guards the entrance to the temple grounds. He stands up on a wall with one of four random pets.

Strategy
The entire area must be cleared before pulling the boss. Mobs won't spawn upon fighting, but it helps to have as much room as possible for this fight. The boss can only be pulled at ranged. Don't worry about having someone other than the tank pull, as the boss doesn't have a threat table for the first half of the fight.

The boss will have one of four random pets beside him. A panther, a boar, an ape or a crocodile. The mechanics of the fight will change slightly depending on the pet.

Phase 1:
Upon pulling, Karven will send down his pet to fight the group. During the fight, Karven will shoot arrows at random players, dealing light damage. On heroic he will shoot poisoned arrows at some players. This should be debuffed.

Panther: Fast and medium hitter. Pounces on random players and deals heavy damage to them. Rends.

Boar: Charges random players. Dodgeable. Hits hard.

Ape: Pummels the ground. Must be avoided.

Crocodile: Breathes out poison balls at players that leave poison on the ground. Must be avoided. Moves slow and hits the hardest. Must be kited.

The pets are roughly similar difficulty, but the crocodile is the hardest as it requires a second player to kite in phase two. The order from easiest to hardest is, Panther, Ape, Boar, Crocodile.

The group will fight this pet until it reaches half of its health. At this point, Karven will jump down and fight with it.

Phase 2:
Karven will jump down and fight with his pet. The fight ends when Karven reaches 40% of his health. If his pet reaches 1% hp in the fight, it gets knocked out. This sends Karven into a frenzy, increasing his damage.

Karven does not do much damage and can be disarmed. He has a normal strike ability that he casts on occassion and an ability where he rains down arrows on all players, dealing group damage.
