Rift Mob:Thalguur  

Strategy

Thalguur is a fairly complex encounter requiring a high level of coordination for the individual raider. Raid damage is very high, so you will need 3 healers (one of which should be an AoE healing spec).

The first ability you will encounter will be Earthquake, an infinite-range AoE which does raid-wide damage, multiplied by the number of stacks of Power of Laethys Thalguur holds, and has a knockback component. Raiders should take care that they aren't near the edge of the cliff as they will be knocked off and meet their demise.

Thalguur also occasionally casts two Beams of Power. These will appear as a casted beam. One will connect from the Boss' head to an individual raider's head, and that raider must simply be healed. The other will connect from a raider to one of the pillars around the outside. This raider has approximately 8 seconds to run to the pillar, or the entire raid will receive a 50% healing debuff.

At 90, 70, 50, 30 and 10% Thalguur will approach one of the pillars and channel Absorb Power, which will increase his stacks of Power of Laethys by one. During this channel, crystals will spawn which (when picked up) grants a stack of Luxury, a buff which increases health, damage and healing. Commonly, raiders pick up 4 crystals per channel of Absorb Power, though there is some leeway for raid leaders to adjust due to deaths in the raid or other mechanics.

After channeling Absorb Power, Thalguur will become active again and will spawn one add per stack of Power of Laethys. The tank must pick these up quickly as they deal considerable damage and will 2-shot most non-tanks. Unlike the boss, they do have a cleave so melee DPS will need to be careful to be behind them at all times. Two shovels will spawn and can be used on the nearby dirt mounds. This will draw one spirit to it, and cause it to despawn. It is highly recommended to assign ranged DPS or support to this.

The final ability to note is "Greed is Good". This is a debuff placed on a random raid member which will steal stacks of Luxury from anyone within a 15 yard radius. There is no emote with this ability, and appears as a white swirl underneath the player's feet. The raid leader may want to assign a clear path and standing location for anyone who encounters this debuff.
