Strategy

The following is one strategy that you can use to kill Proteus

Group Requirements

Need about 20+ people, all 215+ with full EDL
Tank group

2 Tanks with max vit and good tank gear

1 main tank
1 offtank

4-5 druids with wards, bark, and other standard buffs

DPS groups

Warriors with bash

Bash will give druids more time to heal due to less dps on tank
Shield Bash will interrupt the heal if timed right

Mages with level 50 lures to take out damage shields
Rogues DPS skills with a couple smoke/expose rogues
Rangers do your thing. Use bolas when he enrages.

Fight Strategy

Offtank stands in front of doorway, and ranged dps brings the adds to him to tank.

The adds can be offtanked by 1 warrior using just HP and Armour lix (info from paggasquid)

Main tank engages Proteus, and keeps him in the middle of the room.

main tank stands between door and Proteus
This is so the Offtank can be in range for Natures Breath

Druids stand to side of Proteus healing the tank
All DPS should stand to the sides of Proteus to avoid Power Surge freeze skill
Mages need to use level 50 lures to take out the damage shields

Rotor Blades AoE

An emote says "Proteus winds up a powerful attack"
Non-ranged DPS should run away, then come back when rotor blades is done
Bash should interrupt this too

At low life Proteus heals himself. Shield Bash will interrupt the heal if timed right (info from touchedbyfire/Arawn)
Proteus enrages at 15 minutes

Rangers use bolas, and Tank walks Proteus around the room

Drops

Proteus drops weapons, bracelets, rings, and items needed to upgrade to the Doch Gul Armor, rings, and bracelets. Proteus Prime drops 3 items, and Proteus Base drops 2 items.
