Build: vr16 magica Tamplar, Breton.
Boss: Nunatak, Ice atro. sweeper
Location: Imperial City, Nobles District.
(One of 2 sweeper bosses that spawn there)

Things to watch out for:

*cone attack AOE with 2.5-3 sec charge up, has a knock-back effect and is extremely lethal (when blocked and inside rune focus, it hit for 20k+ damage so watch out).
*frost spikes (similar to regular frost atro, but are by far nastier and add a decent snare, which combined with cone and blizzaed aoe's is very dangerous).

Spoiler


*blizzard AOE spawns from the boss as a center point, and spreads around as semi-random direction. Watch out for it, as it is often hit in cluster of two-three and can one-shot anything belowe 20k HP.

Tips:

*mitigation is the key. Keep at least some sort of mit. at all times - advise against damage shields as they drop in no time, do hardly anything and gurn trough your resources.

Spoiler


*positioning is key. Be mobile - standing still is a guaranteed death. Atro has a slow charge-up AOE cone, exploit it - roll-dodge trough him and stick to his back.

Spoiler


*good resource regen. Sitting at 1500+ I found it was just enough to keep up with the Boss. Possibly 1400 will do, but it will be dodging it. At least 10k stam is needed for a dodge-roll.

Keep it cool, and do not rush - getting the typical 'execute' choochoo-train is a very bad idea as it leaves you open and impedes the much needed resources. Keep the rotation rolling, and he will melt right down :D
