Melidrussa Chillworn
Melidrussa is the first boss of Ruby Life Pools and the encounter is very similar to the original one. One of the major changes is that the penalty for taking avoidable damage has been reduced which should make this encounter easier overall. The fight is cyclical and the abilities are listed below, but there's still the two intermissions at 66% and 33% health where Melidrussa summons whelps and players have to break a shield.
Firstly, Frigid Shard is now interruptable meaning that you likely won't see Tanks fall over as often to the melee and cast combo anymore.
Chillstorm deals damage slower, but lasts longer, and the pull strength is reduced.
Hailbombs now does very little damage to a player who hits it, but applies a 50% Haste Down instead.
Kokia Blazehoof
Kokia is the second boss of Ruby Life Pools and the encounter is the exact same, except the visuals of the boulder have been increased. However, the boulder still gets stuck on tiny pebbles on the path which can make it blow up immediately likely killing players.
Ritual of Blazebinding summons an AoE on top of a player which needs to be killed and interrupted.
Molten Boulder targets a boulder on a player which will roll and explode when it hits a wall.
Searing Blows deals high tank damage
Kyrakka and Erkhart
Kyrakka and Erkhart is the final encounter of Ruby Life Pools. The encounter should be easier due to some mechanical changes. Players still want to hit the Dragon as much as possible to kill it as quickly as possible.
The main challenge of the fight is still dealing with Inferno Spit and the Winds. The Winds don't push nearly as far anymore, meaning that players no longer need to place the Fire puddles in perfect positions. As long as they're mostly out of the way, they're fine now.
Other Notable Changes
Here are the other notable changes from Ruby Life Pools:
Trash Count - Requires you to pull almost everything in the dungeon. You are pulling everything except for one of the Dragon minibosses, or some of the trash in the first room.
Locked Door in front of the first boss. You need to defeat the miniboss in front of the door to get to the boss.
Flamegullet's damage increase stacks are now capped meaning he doesn't scale uncontrollably anymore.
Many Trash Mobs removed in the second boss trash ring. The fire elemental lieutenants are now alone, but more mobs can be pulled on top of it if you don't want to kill a single mob at a time.
Trash to Last Boss is significantly easier, and no longer has any more important kicks or abilities.
