Heroic Vexie and the Geargrinders

The Geargrinder remains active while it has any stacks of Protective Shielding. At the start of each active phase, the Geargrinder applies 6 stacks of this buff to itself.

If the Geargrinder reaches 100 energy it will enrage, dealing 1.2 million fire damage to the raid every 2 seconds and applying a stacking 755k fire damage every 1 sec for 8 seconds, stacking. This can be interrupted by removing any remaining protective shielding.

The Geargrinder periodically summons three Geargrinder Bikers that cast Hot Wheels, charging across the platform at a random player dealing 5.6 million fire damage to anyone hit and knocking them back.

If they charge through an Oil Slick they will be stunned for 5 seconds, otherwise they will charge through their targeted player's location and into the arena wall, stunning them momentarily before picking a new target.

When a Geargrinder Biker is killed players can interact with the bike to enter a vehicle UI. The bike can be angled but not moved, and the player has a singular button, Blaze of Glory, which launches the bike at the Geargrinder, dealing 1.2m fire damage to the raid and applying 100 energy to the Geargrinder.

When a biker is killed they leave their bike behind, allowing players to interact with them to angle the launch the bike at the Geargrinder, causing the Geargrinder to suffer 1% of its max health in damage and losing 1 stack of Protective Shielding. This also causes a burst of raid damage and rains down Burning Shrapnel for the raid to dodge.

The Geargrinder launches oil at targeted players after 5 seconds, dousing players within 12 yards of their location with a mild dot for 12 seconds and leaving behind an Oil Slick. The miasma causes a slip-and-slide effect making stopping and starting or changing direction difficult.

Several players are fixated for a bombardment of fire at their current location for 6 seconds, launching every 0.5 sec. Each swirl deals 1.8 million fire damage and burns away any Oil Slick it hits.

The Geargrinder slams its current target for 9.4 million physical damage, knocking them back and applying a 503k bleed for 25 sec. This applies a 200% stacking vulnerability for 25 sec, causes the boss to cast Exhaust Fumes, and leaves behind an Oil Slick on heroic

The exertion from the Tank Buster causes the Geargrinder to release a smog that deals 377k shadow damage to the raid every 1 sec for 6 sec. This ability deals 25% more damaage with every cast.

Geargrinder bombers debuff several players with bombs, that deals 906k fire damage on application and apply a DoT dealing 629k fire damage every 1.5 sec for 9 sec.

When all stacks of Protective Shielding are removed, the Geargrinder breaks down causing it to take 100% increased damage until Vexie completes a Tune-Up over 45 seconds, applying new plating.

Simultaneously, Pit Mechanic adds will spawn that repeatedly try to channel an interruptible and cc-able cast, Repair until killed, hastening repairs by 2% every 2 sec.

For the duration of the phase Geargrinder deals 1.5 million fire damage to the raid every 2 seconds.
