Hunger Drive (Phase 2 Only)
Unlimited range

Strategy

Phase 1 (Boss starts at 100 mana and goes toward 0. At 0 he switches to phase 2)

Range (Healers and DPS) - Stack at range to help cross healing. Move as raid as Retched Blackrock is cast. Acid torrent will do significant damage to tank. If boss has blackrock spines buff, range dps must be prepared to interrupt casts of blackrock barrage

Melee DPS - Stand on sides of the boss. It is critical that you do not get in between the range and the boss. Boss will cast explosive shards on melee players. Stack loose to avoid initial hit and run away from targeted player to avoid follow up damage. When blackrock spines buff is active, be prepared to interrupt casts of blackrock barrage

Tanks - One tank will tank Oregorger facing away from the raid, while the offtank will be between the boss and range group. The offtank will be soaking the initial hit of acid torrent and it is critical that you have some form of damage mitigation up since that will determine the amount of damage going out to the rest of the raid. Tanks switch at 1 stack of acid torrent.

 

Phase 2 (Stays in phase 2 until getting back to 100 mana)

Everyone - Boss will start rolling around his room. Anyone hit by rolling fury will take a lot of single target damage and be stunned. As a raid we have to split up, locate and dps crates in the room  to release blackrock ore for oregorger to eat. Oregorger will gain 10 mana every time he eats ore, so we have to do this a total of 10 times to get Oregorger to transition back to phase 1. We want phase 2 to be as short as possible since we are not able to throw a lot of dps at boss during this phase.

 

Gruul (Single phase, single target fight. Shares common abilities from TBC bossfight)

Tanks - Tanks have to face Gruul at 1 of the 2 stack groups during inferno strike. Heroic may have to target same group twice in a row.

Strategy

Phase 1

Everyone - Split group into 2. Each tank picks up one security guard and one engineer.  Feldspar will be tanked be picked up by main tank. Interrupt repair cast by engineers. Kill order is Operators > Engineers> Feldspar>Security Guards

Tanks - Move adds out of defensive zone created by guards. If too many rupture zones are on the ground or if you have too many melt armor stacks you might need to tank swap feldspar.

DPS and Healers - If targeted by bomb, run the bomb toward a regulator. Melee will have to pick up sack of bombs dropped by killing engineer and run the bombs to the regulator. Move out of rupture zones.

 

Phase 2

Boss emerges from furnace but has a damage shield on him given by 4 elementalists. Elementalists also have shields that will have to be destroyed by killing elementals on top of them.

Tanks - Tank guards and Firecallers away from current burn target. Interrupt cauterize wounds and lava burst as much as possible.

DPS and Healers - Tanks take a lot of damage so they will need dedicated healers. If fixated, kite elemental to our current kill target. If targeted by volatile fire, GTFO the raid.

DPS burn down elementalist once shield is exposed. Make sure to dispell or interrupt cauterize wounds and dispell reactivate earth shield on our burn target. Shadow priest will dominate mind one guard and use him to assist in burning down elemental.

 

Phase 3

Burn down adds left over from phase 2. Lust at start of this phase

Tanks - Taunt switch at 3 stacks of heat. Avoid melt patches

DPS - Loosely spread, avoid melt patches

Healers - Loosely spread, avoid melt patches. Blast will happen every 5 sec in this phase. Critical that you enter phase 3 with as much mana and cooldowns as possible.

gruul > beastmaster > hanz and franz > flamebender > kromog ( > operator > oregorger )>Blast Furnace> The Iron Maidens>Blackhand

 

That is the general rule of thumb of easiest-hardest. Some say Beastmaster is easier than Gruul..I think I agree and that we will have him in 1 or 2 more attempts.

Tomorrow I want to get a solid look at beast master (I think we will kill) and flamebender (also another possible kill). I know in that pug normal you guys did you were having difficulties on Kromog, but mechanically he doesnt seem that difficult.

the issue with Kromog wasn't anything other than dps not breaking out healers, and healer's not utilizing cool downs or not getting grabbed. If we control those mechanics in our main raid.. we will definitely have it down.

 

There is no reason we can't get Beastmaster, Flamebender, and possibly Kromog tomorrow.  I think operator will be another example of Oregorger where we will wipe and wipe and it will eventually click..

 

I truly believe one more attempt on beastmaster he would have been down Wednesday.

It looks like the remaining kill order will be:

 

  1. Operator Thogar
  2. Kromog
  3. The Iron Maidens
  4. The Blast Furnace
  5. Blackhand

 

General Information for each role on each Boss:

 

 

Operator Thogar:

 

Tanks:  Taunt Swap for Enkindle, Pick up adds so we can cleave them down

Healers:  AOE heal through Men-At-Arms Damage, Tank Heal when adds are up.  Healing CD's will be popped when men-at-arms are up.

Melee DPS:  Adds are top priority.  Add priority is Firemenders -->  Men-At-Arms -->  The rest

Ranged DPS:  Adds are top priority.  Add priority is Gunnery Sergeants (Only ranged can attack them) -->  Firemenders --> Men-At-Arms --> The rest

 

Everyone:  Don't get hit by trains.  Don't get hit by grenades.  Move to your section when we split up.  Run away if you get fixated

 

More information on trains:  Dodging trains is super easy.  There are four doors on each side of the room.  If you see a door open up, it means a train is coming on that track.

 

Splitting up:  At 2 minutes and 6 minutes into the fight, we get add trains on the middle tracks and need to split up.  The raid leaders will split everyone up into 2 groups and we will break off then.  Whichever tank doesn't have enkindling stacks will take the boss.

 

 

Kromog:

 

Tanks:  Stack on each other at all times to split the damage of Fists of Stone.  Taunt swap for Warped Armor.  Get into melee range immediately after handling mechanics.  Make sure that you get as far away from the boss as possible when he casts slam or you may get one-shot with high stacks of warped armor.

Healers:  Heal through Slam, POP Healing CD's for Stone Breath.

Melee DPS:  Handle Grasping Earth Hands (More info below).

Ranged DPS:  Handle Grasping Earth Hands (More info below)

 

Everyone:  Handle Grasping Earth Hands (More info below).  Dodge Atramedes Reverbs, The Cone attack "Rippling Smash" and the stone Hands.  Basically just dodge stuff.  Be at max range when slam hits.  Pop lust on the pull.

 

Handling Rune of Grasping Earth:  Throughout the fight, Kromog will summon a large number of orange runes on the ground.  Every raider needs to get on their own rune.  They will then be grabbed by a hand NPC called "Grasping Earth".  When you are in the hand's grasp, you are immune to being knocked up by the ability "Thundering blows" which Kromog casts shortly after.  Healers should focus on healers and DPS should focus on breaking people out.  Their own runes should be DPS'd first to reduce damage taken then break out any slower DPS and (Especially) the healers and tanks.  DO NOT kill your grasping earth before Thundering blows is finished casting or you'll probably die.  We will assign positions to each group for where they will be going for tehse

 

 

 

 

Iron maidens is a complex fight.  I will work up a summary later.
