Hey folks. Cleric here needing advice on how to defeat the boss of the Duergar Stronghold: Commander Thangardi. I am level 59 healing specced and find he can kill me during the cooldown of a healing pot with attacks that take off 1/4 of my life and don't seem to be avoidable.
I'm stuck! Any suggestions please?

Is it a red aoe attack or a wind up with a slow animation attack?
Either one is completly avoidable by simply moving all the time. Like most bosses, just because you're a healer you can't just stand there take it in the face and hope to heal through it.
It's like people who complain about wraiths in ebon downs. Omg they heal their whole life bar with that cone attack! If you're constantly circle strafe them they never hit you with it (and it's a perfect opportunity to counter them with a nuke since they're pinned while casting it).
They forget all clerics get anchored on every attack and power they use thus they cant actually kite....since they will always have to stop to chuck the attacks.
If its the boss I believe it is.....which means these other responders have not actually played against the enemy anywise...your best bet is to use a pet that attacks and get back from the enemy by a lot.....his area of effect actually does have a radius.....and his little added spawned enemies will still come after you. When he does his super fast teleport attack thing or his big cone charge thing...if you are using an attack pet he will concentrate it on you but only while staying in melee with your pet.
As his Ai will make him try to hit both of you....thus allowing you to stay outside of his range of the attacks.
Like I said if this is the boss I think it is......this is one of the many bosses where you don't want to have a cleric pet.
Power without Perception is Spiritually useless and therefore of no true value.

FYI: Tiefling racial quest so most people won't have seen the fight too.
If you really want it, come back later. I tried it at 60 (DC, heal spec) and after 4 or 5 fails, many injury kits and pots used, I called it a day. 50% is where he gets knocked off his mount and the big hits stop, I got very very close, but even with Chains as a cc and forgemasters flame to slow him, a mix of 60 purple and blue gear he would still just slide up to me and 2 shot me (after 1 shotting my defense runed tank companion). I had enough of that area in general, so I just left it. I advise just moving on.
