You want to be lower on health, while using a cooldown to mitigate as much damage from Decaying Strike, which leaves a Decaying Wound. This deals damage to you based on your current health when the debuff is applied.

Everyone in the physical realm gets Paranoia.

You can use your neck once, but it restores Sanity for multiple people.

On Phase 1, whenever a Synapse or Corruptor is killed, you spawn a Psychophage. This drains the Sanity of everything in Melee Range.

On Phase 2, a couple Thought Devourers come out, which drain Sanity. The tanks should stack during the spawn. Beams will rotate in a set pattern.

Spread out to manage Dark Matter.

Event Horizon requires you to drop the debuff in a pre-designated spot. This goes away when healed off or dispelled off. Be mindful of how big your shield is, due to our healing abilities.
