Duo BM
Introduction
This guide assumes that you already have an understanding of mechanics of the fight - #beastmaster-basic
The Strategies
⬥ There are two main strategies to duo BM:
• AoE stack strategy - stacking and tanking everything at once, dealing damage with AoEs
• Entangle strategy - uses entangle to get the 2nd pet stuck, reducing damage taken
General Notes
⬥ It will be significantly easier if the base tank uses 
, especially if they are tanking pets at the same time for the AoE strategy.
⬥ Cryptbloom 
with animate dead 
Presets and Relics
AoE Stack Strategy
⬥ Stand by the north gong where the 2nd pet spawns, and ideally deal damage to both the pets and BM using AoE attacks
Stacking Phase
⬥ Stay in melee distance to the pet to only take melee damage whilst stacking the enemies.
⬥ Walk the pet/BM to stack them for AoEs if necessary.
⬥ Focus on killing one of the pets, particularly if stacking BM on the pet fails
⬥ 
Prisms of restoration may not be able to spawn if surrounded by enemies - place the prism before starting, and extend it during the fight
⬥ The 3rd pet and chargers will spawn once the 2nd pet's health is lowered sufficiently - continue to deal damage with AoEs.
One Pet Dead
⬥ Base tank - run BM to avoid taking too much damage; stacks are only received from melee hits. Using emerald aurora 
for additional damage reduction is helpful.
⬥ DPS player - finishes off the remaining pet. provoke 
and tank the pet, using again if it jumps onto the base tank.
Both Pets Dead
⬥ DPS player helps to kill BM - the DPS player can act as the backup tank, allowing the base tank to do their damage rotation.
⬥ Try not to run BM too far from the non-tank player's damage-boosting ultimate.
Entangle Strategy
⬥ Uses entangle 
to manipulate the 2nd pet, preventing it from attacking until you are ready to kill it.
⬥ This strategy aims to use chargers to block the 2nd pet.
• Therefore, BM must not be in combat until you are ready to have it summon the chargers and 3rd pet.
Pet 2 Lure
Note: Do not aggro BM
1) Stand at the closest charger cage that is south of the west gong as the fight starts.
2) Wait for pet to jump to you → cast entangle on pet.
3) Do not attack, move to the southwest corner of the arena and wait for the pet to jump again.
4) Attack the pet; lower its health to around 25k.
Pet is Lowered - Getting it Stuck
1) Run towards the middle to aggro BM, cast reflect 
whilst doing this
2) Run back towards the pet - cast entangle on the pet as BM comes close, and use freedom 
or anticipate 
as you will be stunned by the 3rd pet
3) Wait for chargers to spawn - just as the chargers start to move, surge 
east and go to the southeast corner
⬥ If done correctly, the entangle will prevent the pet from moving until the chargers get into position. Once in position, the chargers will block the pet.
Southeast Corner
⬥ Lower the 3rd pet/BM as you see fit.
⬥ Base tank - run BM when the 3rd pet dies to avoid taking too much damage; stacks are only received from melee hits. Using emerald aurora for additional damage reduction is helpful.
⬥ DPS player finishes off the pet that is stuck.
Killing BM
⬥ DPS player can act as the backup tank, allowing the base tank to do their damage rotation.
⬥ Try not to run BM too far from the non-tank player's damage-boosting ultimate.
