Ruins of Tuniria specific Edit

The Haj Motas at the Ruins of Tuniria behave differently by having only one ability.

Haj Mota Wall: At 55% Health, Gaulm pulls everyone to the center of the arena. Then two rows of Haj Mota emerge in the arena, one inner weak and one outer strong, forming two circles by linking themselves, akin to the Shades in Maebroogha the Void Lich's fight in Vateshran Hollows. They slowly walk to the center and killing a Haj Mota disables the two links on its sides. Touching a link deals massive magic damage, snares heavily and disables this link. This attack comes back but without the pull and only one strong row of Haj Motas that starts at the walls of the arena. The Haj Motas reaching the center of the arena disappear by burying. The Haj Motas cannot be taunted.
