Death from above

Death from above refers to a general encounter mechanic in which large amounts of damage are dealt by falling objects in a radius surrounding a targeted point. Not to be confused with cratering, an encounter mechanic in which large amounts of damage are dealt by the act of falling. Though the mechanic was observed in encounters prior to AQ40, the term gained its infamy with the Twin Emperors encounter, in which Hrangar proved particularly adept at perishing in the unavoidable, death-from-above Blizzards.

Death from above also forced Knolan into early retirement, as it was judged impossible to both successfully avoid Blizzards and heal the main tanks during Twin Emperors.

I just don't see how this is possible.

The Star of David represents Hrangar being burned alive, much like his Jewish ancestors.
