03/24 - Flame Leviathan Testing

[Boubouille]

03/24 - Flame Leviathan Testing
The testing of Flame Leviathan will be active on EU PTRs, starting at 19:00 CET and on US PTRs at 7pm EDT/4pm PDT.

Fight Information
Flame Leviathan Health - 20M (10-Man) / 62M (25-Man)

Every 30 seconds he will switch targets to another siege vehicle, mark them, and follow them around. If you do not have two siege vehicles active then he will pick a different unit.

He has a soft enrange due to Gathering Speed. You have to kite him, thanks to Battering Ram, and it becomes harder and harder to get away from him even with help from Steam Rush.

• Flame Jets: Inflicts 2000 Fire damage to enemies around the caster. 50 yard range. Interruptable.
• Battering Ram: a melee range attack, Rams the target, dealing damage and knocking it forward. Debuffs them with "Battering Ram": Damage taken increased by 100%.
• Gathering Speed: periodically he moves a bit faster by gaining another stack of this buff. The stack is reset when he is stunned by Overload Circuit.
• He also fires rockets constantly at the raid, doing about 700 damage each time they land (about once every 1-2 seconds)
• He has 4 turrets. Passengers in the demolisher can be launched at him where they can destroy the turrets and then hit the Overload Circuit: stuns Flame Leviathan and causes him to take 50% more damage for 10 seconds.

Player Vehicles
The vehicles have a base HP that then increases based on the ilvl of your gear (tip: stop DE'ing trash epics with high ilevels and save them for Ulduar!)

Salvaged Siege Engine
This vehicle demolishes towers as you clear the gauntlet and kites the Flame Leviathan. It can carry a passenger.

Driver

• Ram: 15 yard range, 4 second cooldown, instant. Rams any enemies in front of the demolisher, dealing 5,400 to 6,600 damage and knocking them back. Also deals 2,850 to 3,150 siege damage to buildings.
• Electroshock: 38 energy, 10 second cooldown, instant. Shocks all targets within a 25 yard cone in front of the caster. It also interrupts spellcasting and prevents any spell in that school from being cast for 4 seconds.
• Steam Rush: 40 Energy, 15 second cooldown, instant. Put the steam engine into overdrive for a short duration, rushing forward, dealing siege damage and knocking back enemies.

Salvaged Demolisher
This vehicle moves slowly but has ranged attacks and can even catapult its passengers. It can carry a passenger, who can grapple the pyrites from the ground and loads them one by one as abilities that deplete them are used. The primary use for them is giving 10 charges to the big nuke.

• Ram: 15 yard range, 4 second cooldown, instant. Rams any enemies in front of the demolisher, dealing 8,550 to 9,450 damage and knocking them back. Also deals 2,160 to 4,640 siege damage to buildings.
• Launch Passenger: launches the Demolisher's passenger into the air.

Passenger

• Cannon: 40 yard range. Instant, 1 second cooldown. Fires an explosive missile directly forward, detonating when it has traveled 50 yards, hitting any enemies within 10 yards.
• Grab Crate: 40 yard range. Instant. Use your hoook and chain to grab the targeted crate.

• Load into Catapult: instant, 30 second cooldown. Load yourself into the catapult arm, using yourself as ammunition.

Salvaged Chopper
This motorcycle model is very fast and moves very adroitly (it can strafe, for example.) It can carry a passenger.

• Sonic Horn: Instant, 20 energy. Sends a wave of force in front of the motorcycle, causing 3150 to 3850 damage to all enemy targets within 35 yards in a frontal cone.
• Tar: Instant, 15 second cooldown. Drops a pool of tar for 45 seconds that slows the movement speed of enemies wihtin 10 yards. Tar can be ignited. Lasts for 45 seconds

[Tygor]

I can't wait for testings to be over and 3.1 to come already.

[Amgyn]

I really see nothing wrong with vehicle type encounters... not sure why people complain about them.

[Zyrus]

The problem is people want to play their class and may have problem adapting to a different playstyle. That's why pugs always fail at oculus/malygos despite them both being very simple.
Placing this boss first effectively locks out bad pugs and thus you wont get saved to a bad ID, good thinking Blizzard! :P

[Navia]

Could someone please tell me the addon that guy is using where you have animated avatars in your portrait? I really like that.

[Qrio]

Navia - from the looks of it it's either Pitbull or Ag_Unitframes. Both have this option, as well as X-perl Unitframes

[Spl4sh3r]

To be honest why are you posting strategy and loot each time they open a boss that has been open before? The strategy and loot are already up in the old post :P

Navia - from the looks of it it's either Pitbull or Ag_Unitframes. Both have this option, as well as X-perl Unitframes

Thank you, I specifically registered to post so I could find that out. ^_^

[Anotherhack]

Downed it about 20 minutes ago with 3 towers up, the boss also got freyas static buff even though we killed her tower. 4 towers next time they bring it up, which they will since half the vehicles abilities don't work

Flame Leviathan 25man Kill

This is from Sundays build. The encounter was quite bugged.
Even though we diden't kill any towers, it was still at easy mode.
We got all 5 achievements none the less.

Very fun and exciting boss!
