Oh, shut up and help me remodel the The Jade Stoa page!

Story[]
Normal[]
At the heart of every auspice is a duality: the aramitama, the primal rage; and the nigimitama, the boundless calm. Byakko of the Four Lords is on the verge of being consumed by his aramitama, and should this come to pass, he will forever be no more than a feral beast. And so it falls to you and yours to face the legendary auspice in battle─to quell the madness within and save his soul!

A devoted student of the fine arts, the wandering minstrel has recently begun studying a form of classical Hingan poetry. Duly inspired by your account of the battle for Byakko's soul, he tries his hand at one such "tanka", seeking to capture the essence of who the auspice truly is. Even absent music, his words nevertheless have a hypnotic feeling, and you find it rather easy to recall the encounter, albeit in a more dramatic fashion...

The faux commander has a yen for a tale from his native Far East, which prompts you to call to mind the unbridled ferocity of Byakko, one of the Four Lords of legend. Revisit now your grueling encounter with the mighty auspice, and fight to lift the dark cloud that shrouds his heart ere you are overcome by his heavenly gales...

Byakko starts the fight with Storm Pulse causing raid wide damage and then he will use Heavenly Strike on the tank. He will then use State of Shock which will grab the tank and slam them down behind them, have 3 other players stand in the stack marker, or if your tank is geared enough have them use a heavy cooldown and solo it. During the state of shock cast the Off tank should provoke the boss so they will take the next state of shock.
