Skills

  • Paralysis
Ruinhorn will regularly cast Paralysis on whoever he is currently targeting. Paralysis will reduce the movement speed of the target by 50% for 5 seconds.
  • Mashing
Ruinhorn will use this attack fairly regularly. It, like all skills, goes through player defense for devastating damage (around 1700 on a level 57 Protector).
  • Dark Breath
Ruinhorn, like any typified dragon, has a breath attack, which hits in a small area around him (it can be avoided by staying away from his hurtbox, which is quite large, and behind him) as well as a longer range directly forward. Even though it can be avoided, it can be difficult to do so because of lag. This attack can do well upwards of 1500 damage depending on level and resistance.
  • Melee Swing
Ruinhorn's basic attack can do around 900 damage to a level 57 Protector.
  • Wind of Edge
30m range PBAoE. Can do upwards of 1000 damage. Considering the small size of the arena, it is hard to avoid.
  • Earthshock
30m range PBAoE stun. Stuns for 5 seconds, deals 1500-2200 damage, can be difficult to avoid.
  • Summon Ghoul
Ruinhorn will summon an elite ghoul mob, which will proceed to attack a nearby target. They are fairly strong and tough, but can be taken down rather quickly by a couple of players. Ruinhorn will summon these regularly, so leaving them alive for long is not an option.
With update 1.8.09:RuinHorn's Ghoul of Ruin no longer cause paralysis,
 Ghoul of Ruin HP is doubled.

Ruinhorn's Patterns

Ruinhorn has some set patterns to his attacks, and some weird properties to how he prioritizes these patterns.

  • He will begin by casting Paralysis, Mashing, and Dark Breath. Mashing can be avoided by a kiting tank, and, if not slowed by Paralysis, can sometimes avoid Dark Breath also. Paralysis has a long range and is difficult to avoid because of its quick cast time.
  • When Ruinhorn takes about 1/4 to 1/3 of his HP in damage, he will change tactics. He will continue to cast Paralysis and Mashing, but will forgot Dark Breath and replace it with Wind of Edge and Earthshock. As both Wind of Edge and Earthshock are PBAoE's, they cannot be avoided by a kiting tank unless they run well out of range in the cast time of the skills, which can be difficult, especially if under Paralysis.
  • Upon hitting around 1/3 to 1/4 of his health, Ruinhorn will change tactics again. He will start to summon Ghouls regularly, and resume using Dark Breath in place of Wind of Edge. In some cases he will use Earthshock at this HP level, but rarely.
  • Ruinhorn also seems to prioritize his skills based on how fast or how slow he is taking damage. A party killing him very quickly seems to abide by the above rules, but a party having alot of trouble with him and killing him rather slowly may have different patterns, such as having Ruinhorn not cast Ghouls until about 5-10% of his HP is remaining, rather than 1/3 - 1/4. The range of his skills, especially AoE's, can sometimes differ as well. Now he runs to the group behind and attack them- he can kill fastly lot of people. Fastly a tank must control him and stop him walking.
  • NOTES: Ruinhorn is immune to slows, sleep, stun etc.
