Augmentation Evoker Tech - Treemouth's Consume in Mythic+ Brackenhide Hollow
The Augmentation Evoker talent tree is full of cool and unusual abilities that can be used to devastating effect in Mythic+. Today, we'll cover how to use Bestow Weyrnstone to bypass Treemouth's Consuming phase.
Consume — And why it mattersEvery minute, Treemouth casts Grasping Vines, and follows up by casting Consume on any players in the circle at the end of the cast. This causes the player(s) consumed to take heavy ticking damage while inside the boss (for up to 10s seconds), and while this is happening, Treemouth gains a shield for 6% of his health. Breaking this shield spits the player out, along with four adds. As this happens, the player ejected out of Treemouth is also affected by Partially Digested, causing them to take massively increased damage if they get consumed on the next cast. If nobody gets eaten, Treemouth gains Starving Frenzy, buffing all his damage (but not that of the adds!) by 150%, and causing him to auto-attack 20% faster. Dealing with this mechanic properly is terrible for two reasons:
The shield applied while Treemouth is Consuming a player effectively causes you to sink DPS into a worthless target, as breaking the shield is not even necessary. In fact, you have an incentive to cause the shield to not spawn at all — we'll come back to this Because Partially Digested lasts longer than the cooldown of Consume (since it will be applied up to 12 seconds from when Grasping Vines is cast), unless you have a way to drop this debuff, you will need to sort out a consume rotationYou can take advantage of a few spells to break this effect and cause Treemouth to spit players out early. Using any immunity, such as Divine Shield or Ice Block, while inside Treemouth causes the player to be spat out
