• Tank mechanic - Furious Charge.  Further away the tank is when he's charged, the less damage.  Knockback.  Everyone else avoid.  Tank swap after.

• Adds - Fiery Treants - kill asap.  They explode when they die.  When they die they become healable.  Heal and they transform to healers to heal the seed in the middle of the room.

• Once the Seed starts getting heals, 3 players can interact to get a Dream Blossom "bond" which allows them to remove fire.

• Blazing Thorns - fire swirlies do damage and knockback.  Avoid.

• Scorching Roots target random players doing damage and rooting them.  DPS them down.  They can then be healed up.  Once healed they become Renewed Bramble Barrier.

• At 100 energy boss will cast Raging Inferno.  Hide behind the Bramble Barrier.

• At 40% health boss casts Consuming Flame.  Raid wide damage and pull towards boss .. more damage closer to boss.

• On Furious Charge, when he reaches his target, he will do raid wide damage, reduced by distance.  Amount of damage to tank also reduced by distance he had to travel.
