Combat tactics[edit]

Surtheim casts a damage shield on himself, which does about 500 flame damage on each of your hits. This will kill you pretty fast, especially when using quad-hitting stuff like Demon's Flurry, Closer: Pummel or Gold Rage. To dispell the damage shield you need to loot Hot Prisms off the Surtheim Fragments. Usually you would want to kill only one fragment after another, so the group should avoid doing area effect damage on the whole fight. Once looted, the Hot Prism disappears after 10 seconds from your inventory, so be sure to use it as fast as possible. The dispell may fail so be prepared to repeat.

Surtheim usually doesn't too much damage beside his damage shield. Most damage comes from Combust and the auras, which can be outhealed by Healers easily.
