- Shockwave will do an AoE effect that hits all nearby melee units
- Will aim a single targeted missle which will do damage to that target and all surrounding targets while also knocking them back.

High priority classes: Snipers and Sith Sorcerers.

-Turret Phase-
The Annihilator droid is the first boss in the Eternity Vault. Before the boss fight even begins, you must first destroy the 2
Turrets at the top of the cliff. You must assign your main tank and off tank to seperate turrets and healers must be ready to
throw heavy heals on the tanks since the turrets do a heavy amount of damage. Tanks should not be afraid to pop any of their cooldowns
for this phase. During the turret phase, adds will spawn. Have one of your tanks pick these adds up while dps continues to focus down
the first turret. After the first turret drops, all dps should immediately switch to AoEing the mobs down and then switch to the next
turret. After both turrets are down and adds have been dealt with, the boss will fall from the sky.

-Annihilator-

To start off, take a moment to observe the 2 pillars which have been placed in the boss's fighting area since I will be referring to them
for points of reference throughout the guide.

The key to this fight is positioning. Begin by setting your raid to the left of the left pillar. You want your ranged classes to be
spread out around this area so the healers can target both ranged and melee classes without much difficulty. You want your melee classes to
be placed behind the boss. The boss's torso can be rotated. So if the tank chooses to turn the boss facing the door, then the melee must be
behind the boss's torso to avoid his cleave.

Phase 1: After your ranged classes have been positioned the main tank and melee dps can begin the boss fight. During this phase he will
cast time based skills. The first skill he will begin casting is Missle Salvo. At this time all ranged dps should stack on top of the
melee group and one of your snipers must immediately cast Ballistic Shield as soon as he gets into position. Having 2 snipers in the group
will make it so you never have to stand behind the pillar since they can swap off cooldowns. Sith Sorcerers are extremely
useful in this fight since they have the best AoE heal. After the Missle Salvo phase(which lasts roughly 15 seconds), the raid should immediately
spread back out to the original positions since he will cast his cleave a few seconds after the missles are done casting.
Soon after his cleave has finished he will begin targeting individual people with a reddish target. It is imperative that whoever is targeted
with this skill moves AWAY from the group and toward some structure on the map. The single target missle will knock you back and the only way
to avoid getting knocked back 30+ meters is to line up infront of a structure. He will also cast a single target nuke which he will face and
aim at the person he is going to attack it with. While healers should always be vigiliant in healing those with the DoT on them, DPS should
call out their name when they have the DoT on them since it ticks for a heavy amount of damage.


Phase 2: This will begin at around 50%. He will begin adding Storm Protocol to his rotation of skills. When he begins this all dps must begin
moving when they see a red dot beneath them. It is possible to DPS standing still during this phase if you move as soon as you see the target
appear beneath your feet. This skill will last roughly 15 seconds and then DPS can go back to normal.



Phase3: The boss will go down into a never ending Missle Salvo. This is a burn phase. Everyone in the raid should stack up for AoE heals
and Snipers should blow their ballistic shield to mitigate damage. All raid members should blow their cool downs to aid the healers as best
as possible.

When the boss gets down to 1% he will stop taking damage and collapse to the ground.
