Could I give some feedback on this one?
I really like the way you designed the encounter, and it could potentially become a very decent encounter, should blizzard pick up some ideas from this.
Couple of things I'd like to point out though.
Phase 2, the drowning part, undeads would have a significant advantage over other players, with increased breath, along with shamans and warlocks with unending breath. Besides this, there is also pots for this, which would make P2 kinda of a pushover. Perhaps it should be another effect than drowning.
Something like a fatigue like buff, with players dying at the end, and it should obviously get removed the minute the crack kills, as some guilds might struggle on the dps at first, meaning players would die while the water is running out.

Yea thats a good point, the debuff would have to be fatigue like
and it would be removed once the crack is removed, or they could always swim to the top as its draining

[Shawaam]

I'd like to battle some very HUUGE boss. And one thing you must do to beat the boss is to stay away from the boss feets etc. A boss where his own body is the weapon, in a totally new way.

Scenario, you are fighting this huge boss, and the boss takes a step forward, now you must be carefull not to be crushed beneath its feets.

I could probably come up with more than this, but this is the basic idea

[nort]

Name: -
Race: -
Class: -
Health: -
Damage: -

Ablities: Frost Gaze: 3 seconds cast. 10000y range.
All enemies curently facing the boss are affected Petrified for 50 seconds.
Plasma Hit: 3 seconds cast. 5y range.
Hits 1 enemy for 100% of they're maximum HP. Cast on the person with highest aggro. Must be interupted or the tank dies.
Solid Blood: instant cast. 5y range.
Target is affected by Solid Blood. Solid blood reduces damage taken by 10%. Stacks 5 times. Lasts 100 seconds.
When 5 stacks are reached target is Petrified for 1 minute.
Petrified: Target cannot move, attack or cast spells and is immune to everything except Petrify. Cannot be dispeled.
Shatter: All enemies within 100y get damaged for 10% of their maximum hp every 2 seconds for 30 seconds during which the Stone Acolytes are stuned.. The boss reveals his true raged form.

Add: Stone Acolyte: Hits really hard. Must be tanked by a tank affected by Solid Blood.
Spike Volley: Deals 10.000 damage to all enemies within 100y range. 20 sec cd. instant


p1: In the room there are 5 statues. The ideea is to destroy these statues before boss enters the room.

p2: Phase 2 begins 1 minute after your group attacks the first statue. Boss enters room. Needs to be tanked.
Any statue still remaining will Wake up, turning into a Stone Acolyte.
• Every 45 seconds the boss will cast Frost Gaze.
• 5 seconds after each Frost Gaze, the boss will cast Plasma Hit.
• Every 10 seconds the boss will cast Solid Blood on the person with the highest aggro.
• Every 50 seconds there will be a Stone Acolyte spawning in the room.

p3: Phase 3 starts when the boss reaches 20%. The boss will cast Shatter and then every 5 seconds a person in the raid (except highest 3 in aggro) will be affected by Stone Gaze.
The ideea is to finish the boss off before too many healers get petrified and the tanks die.

Tactic: In phase 1 you must detroy all 5 statues or The Stone Acolyte that will spawn from one of them will hit too hard for a tank to be able to handle it (unless some uber timing with cooldowns. shield wall, divine sacrifice, pain surpression etc).
In phase 2 the tanks must switch when one of them has 4 stacks. The one with 4 stacks must go pick up the add. You need 3 tanks for this fight.
Each tank will get to tank boss and get 4 stacks of Solid Blood. Another tank must taunt boss so the first tank dosnt get the 5th stack. Adds must be killed fast enough so you get to dps the boss aswell.
In phase 3 you must ignore dps on adds and nuke boss fucking hard. Pop BL/Hero.

Heroic Difficulty: Random celing falls around the room that damage anyone foolish enough to stand under it. 10 seconds before each Frost Gaze the boss will trow 2-3 Stone Parasites at random players. Stone Parasites have 10k HP and keep the players they hit stuned until they are killed. Players affected by Stone Parasites must be released asap or they wont be able to face away at Frost Gaze. Also some more HP and damage for the boss and the Stone Acolytes.

Achievements: "My family hates me": Get Petrified while affected by Stone Parasite.
"Shield wall is up!": Defeat the boss after not destroying at least 1 statue before the boss enters
the room.
"That was a close one": Defeat the boss after at least 20 people get petrified by the boss' true

Last time I saw one of these threads I went to town and spent quite a while designing a complex and interesting raid boss encounter. I put it in a document and put it up on scribd.com, a document posting site. Instead of coping and pasting all the stuff into this thread (I can't copy and paste the graphics, anyway), here is the link to my raid boss design, the Ice Giant: http://www.scribd.com/doc/19154651/I...d-Boss-Concept

I like it! it would be alittle too unforgiving in normal mode as it is but the idea is excellent, a few numerical tweaks and it'd be fantastic.

[V-lad]

Not a detailed description. more-less tuned for 100k of single target raid dps.

Class: Mage.
no threat table.

2m HP on 25.
5m Mana on 25.
Abilities.
1) Evocation, no cooldown, arcane, 3 second cast, casted if mana falls to 0%. Restores 100% of mana. uninterruptable. HEROIC: is casted once every 1 minute.
2) Mana shield. Absorbs all damage, uses 1 mana for each 1 damage absorbed. Active if mana is above 0. (a permanent buff, not an instant cast)
3) Arcane Missiles. channeled, 5 seconds, interruptable if mana shield is not active. interrupt can locks arcane school for up to 3 seconds (2 on heroic) , preventing evocation. and forcing to start a different cast, thus increasing hp burn time.
4) Arcane explosion. 10 (heroic:5) second cast. Casted after 5 minutes. Wipes the raid
*) summon adds.
*) cast nuke
*) cast aoe

Adds include:
Shadow Priest.
Mind controls a player, increasing damage healing. If a healer is MCd, he heals Boss as top priority.

The main idea is that you won't be able to burn all of HP between shields, and you really need to concentrate burst dps within that time. You may want to time going from 1% to 0% mana with arcane missile cast to give you extra seconds of burn.
Adds buildup over the fight and you need to clean them up every 2 minutes, while watching for MC'd healers.
Enrage ability provides extra seconds of "burn" if you time your last 0 mana phase with it's cast.
Heroic renews shiled once every minute, so you really need to alternate between burning boss and killing adds.
I'd consider this to be a hard boss, as it requires a very well timed "stop dps", "max burst" executions.

[talii]

for quite a while i've been toying around with game design concepts in my free time (coming up with attribute and gearing systems, combat systems etc) and this includes some boss ideas. below is one that i tweaked to fit into the workings of wow.

this encounter is not designed for a raid but rather a post launch release 5man dungeon/heroic instance as the difficulty would be greater than the typical non raid bosses.

the boss itself would be a beast, or beast like elemental resembling a very large and angry armadillo with a clubbed tail much like that of an ankylosaurus but more exaggerated. it's back would be covered in either thick scales or a shell. i imaged it could be a fun onyxia style 5man dungeon/heroic with a few mandatory trash pulls before a large boss. i will refer to the boss as 'armored beast'.

to keep things simple in terms of tuning, i'm not going to be using any finite numbers but rather percentages of values (ie instead of it's normal damage being x amount, it will be based on a % of average non tank player max health and assuming wearing little armor for minimal damage reduction).

normal encounter
ideally this would be a 3 to 5 minute fight on normal difficulty.

armored beast's damage = 75% of average non tank player's max health after figuring leather armor.

there are 2 primary phases that armored beast will alternate between during the entire fight (offensive and defensive) and a 3rd lesser transitional phase (angered).

offensive phase: during this phase armored beast has access to all of it's attacking abilities and is free to move about.

frenzied gaze: this is active during the offensive phase. armored beast will target one person at random standing farther than 40 yards from armored beast and apply a debuff to the target signifying they are the 'gaze target'. every 2 seconds while someone is a 'gaze target', armored beast will give an audible cue. after the 3rd sounding (6 seconds) armored beast will use crushing roll.

crushing roll: armored beast rolls into a ball and charges the 'gaze target' dealing 100% damage, then charging back to the previous target dealing 100% damage + damage dealt to the 'gaze target'. when hit by crushing roll targets suffer a 1 second stun and are given 2 applications each of gushing wound and battered armor debuffs. instant, no cooldown.

gushing wound: deals 4% average non tank's max health every 2 seconds. does not expire while in combat with armored beast. no limit of applications.

battered armor: reduces armor by 15% and all resistances by 30. does not expire while in combat with armored beast. maximum of 5 applications.

bite: deals 200% damage to it's target. instant, 3 second cooldown.

claw: deals 100% damage to it's target. instant, no cooldown. basically auto-attack.

slash: 30° frontal cleave dealing 75% damage to all targets and one application of gushing wound. instant, 6 second cooldown.

thrash: deals 150% damage to it's target and causes a 30 yard knockback. after using this armored beast gains killer instinct. instant, 20 second cooldown.

killer instinct: armored beast deals 10,000% more damage. lasts 1 second.

tail smash: 180° rear tail swipe dealing 75% damage, 10 yard knockback with 1 second stun on landing, and one application each of gushing wound and battered armor. 4 second non interruptible cast (must be stationary), no cooldown.

brutal whip: armored beast gives a 6 second warning by raising it's tail very high (during this time tail smash cannot be used) while casting brutal whip. it then becomes immobile and spinns around 3 times (once per second) using it's tail as a whirlwind type attack. each hit deals 100% damage and a 5 yard knockback. this ability has a 20 yard radius from armored beast. 6 second cast time, 1 minute cooldown. the cooldown is triggered on entering offensive phase.

defensive phase:
during this phase armored beast deals 50% less direct damage, and is immobile. in addition armored beast only has access to the following offensive abilities: bite, claw, slash, tail smash.

fortified: active while in defensive phase, causes armored beast to take 50% less damage.

hardened scales/shell: armored beast gains one application of this buff every time it enters it's defensive phase. reduces damage taken by 5%. does not expire while in combat. no limit of applications.

shielding: armored beast tucks itself under it's scales/shell. 50% chance to reflect spells and immune to physical damage. instant, lasts 12 seconds, 1 minute cooldown. entering defensive phase triggers the cooldown. if there are no players within melee range of armored beast for more than 10 seconds the cooldown is reset.

angered phase:
during this phase armored beast is immobile and has only one attack, tail club. armored beast enters this phase after using either brutal whip or shielding, and after using tail club transitions into either offensive or defensive phase, whichever it was not in last.

tail club: armored beast rushes the 1st person to inflict direct damage once in angered phase and clubs them with it's tail causing 50% damage, 30 yard knockback and 1 application of battered armor. deals 10% more damage per application of hardened scales/shell. instant, no cooldown.

desperation: when armored beast reaches 5% health it fights for it's life. direct damage dealt increased by 25%, 50% reduced chance to be hit with ranged attacks, 25% chance to reflect spells, melee attacks deal 25% damage back to the assailant.



heroic encounter
heroic version should last roughly 5 minutes or more.
the fight is primarily the same with the following alterations:

armored beast's damage = 85% of average non tank player's max health after figuring leather armor.

frenzied gaze can target players beyond 30 yards down from 40 yards.

gushing wound deals 6% average non tank's max health every 2 seconds per application up from 4%.

bite deals 225% damage up from 200%.

slash deals 125% damage up from 75%.

thrash is on a 15 second cooldown down from 20 seconds, and deals 175% damage up from 150%.

tail smash deals 100% damage up from 75%, and stuns for 2 seconds after knockback up from 1 second.

brutal whip cast time (and warning) 4 seconds down from 6 seconds and radius 30 yards up from 20 yards.

during defensive phase armored beast deals 75% normal damage up from 50%.

armored beast gains 2 applications of hardened scales/shell at a time.

armored beast gains desperation at 10% health, up from 5%.

This boss that I'm about to create will be the hardest boss ever and 90% of the wow population will never defeat it.

"Suicidal Bella"

Health: 10,000,000 (10 man)
10 minute enrage timer that if it isn't met, she will cast some doom spell and just 1 shot the raid.

NO tanks, NO agro, NO DPS are needed to kill this boss.

Boss starts out with a DoT on her that does 4,000 damage every second to her per person in the raid (making it a 4 minute "perfect" fight).

She casts a spell every second that creates a puddle of shit on the ground. If you stand in said shit, it will heal her for 10,000/second per person standing in it. The way you beat this boss is by NOT STANDING IN SHIT and she will die from the DoT that is on her.

She also has a damage shield on her so you can't DPS her and she will summon a random cast member from Twilight every 30 seconds that will charm raid members into reading twilight books (they are books right?) while standing in puddles of shit. The Twitard adds have 100,000 health and will need to be tanked and dps'd as normal.

I just killed World of Warcraft PUGs. Thank me.

[Crombie]

Name:Crombie <Lord of Reanimation>
Race:Lich (Male)

10 Minute Enrage Timer

Just for imagination purposes, Crombie's room is exactly the same as Archaedas' room in Uldaman. When you enter the room, there will be fifty npc's with the name "Tortured (Insert race here)" (Standing is randomized to this probability: Hostile-30%, Neutral-65%, Friendly-5%). Phase One begins as soon as you engage an NPC in the room.

Oh and by the way, this is tuned for a ten-man encounter.
Phase 1:
Crombie yells: Who dares to interfere with my experiments?!

Crombie will enter the room 2 minutes after an NPC is engaged. The key to this phase is to simply survive without killing any Tortured NPC's (I'll explain later). All of the Tortured NPC's start at 80,000 health, and at each 15 sec. interval in Phase 1, they lose 10% of their health. Once two minutes passes, Crombie will teleport into the center of the room and yell:

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...

Crombie then kills all of the Tortured NPC's in the room.

This triggers Phase Two.

Phase Two(100%-0% Mana)

Crombie will be untargetable when he enters the room and will begin a speech.

Crombie says: I was once as you all were. I fought against those who would betray my kingdom, those who would challenge justice, and those who would challenge my heritage...Times were excellent...until the Scourge came. They forced back my nation and I stood in the front lines against them, only to be stripped of my life...

Crombie says: They soon ressurected me as the monstrosity you see before you. When Arthas nearly lost his life, I joined those who were free from his grasp, but I fled to where my kingdom once was, only to find it in ruins. I found my family's graves and realized that I was truly alone...

Crombie says: I soon began to study my undeath, attempting to find a cure. After two years, I found it in the case of The Prophet Tharon'ja of Drak'Tharon Keep. I could actually leech the life of those around me in order to gain back my flesh, but I soon learned that I had to continue to leech away life if I wanted to keep my flesh...

Crombie yells: You will not take them from me!!! DIE!!!
(Speech should last about 30 seconds)

As soon as Crombie yells this, he will cast a Mana Shield and ressurect all of the Tortured NPC's accordingly. Crombie will become targetable and the Knights will then attack the raid, quickly followed by Crombie, who will cast one random school "bolt" (Frostbolt, Arcane Blast, Fireball, Shadowbolt, or Lightning Bolt) throughout this phase. He will also cast an energy drain (drains any resource) occasionally that will give him back 100% in mana of what he has drained. When you burn through Crombie's Mana Shield, Phase Three will begin.

Phase Three(100-75% Health):
Crombie yells: Weak little gnats! I shall take matters into my own hands!

Every attack done to Crombie (not counting DoT ticks or auto-attacks) he will gain a .2% damage buff. Crombie will use a steady AOE pulse throughout this phase and will occasionally Decimate one player down to 5% health. This Decimate can't be cast on the two highest characters on the threat list.

When a player dies during this phase, Crombie will gain a 5% damage buff as well as ressurect them as a Risen Knight. Once Crombie reaches 75% health, Phase Four begins.

Phase Four(74-50% Health):
Crombie yells: NO! I shall not be stopped! My family will live once more!!!

Crombie will be gaining back mana fairly quickly and will cast a mana shield frequently. The damage buff from the phase before will be cut in half. Also throughout the phase, the Knights will slowly begin to rise again as untargetable ghosts. Aside from this, it will be the same as Phase Three.

Phase Five(49-15% Health):

Crombie stuns the entire raid upon entering this phase and begins channeling into four bodies held in four stasis chambers.

Crombie yells: My family shall be whole again!!! You cannot stop me!

His enrage will be gone, he will gain back full mana, and all of the Knights shall become ghosts. He will no longer attack except for his AoE pulse. He will also cast his mana shield at 15.01% health.

Phase Six(14-1% Health):

Crombie yells: I'm sorry...I must sacrifice you if you are to live again.

Crombie then sacrifices his family's flesh (turning them into skellies) and gains an Enrage, which increases his damage by 200% but increases damage taken by 150%. Crombie will only use single target, random-school "bolts" that are 1 sec cast time.

At the end of this phase, Crombie screams:

"YOU ARE THE EVILS OF THIS WORLD! I SHALL NEVER STOP PURSUING YOU, NEVER!!!

And then he dies.

[jd5]

Sorry I can't give it proper numbers (my WoW knowledge isn't that good - maybe someone else can work the numbers). But here is a general description of a boss I would like to see in a WoW raid. It's a subtle fight that tests the skills of all raid members by making use of both offensive, defensive and dispelling abilities (as well as limited cc on the add or adds).

- Boss HP's and melee damage are moderate, enough where an average fight should take 4-6 minutes and a long fight 10+/- minutes. No spike damage hits, the raid is about multiple things happening at once not spike damage. The room he is in is a circular arena style room, no line-of-sight areas. The room is roughly the same size as the ToC arena.

- Boss stacks a debuff every 3 seconds on the highest aggro target that cause armor to decrease by 10%, must be tanked with two (or more) tanks who alternate so the stacks will drop of the other tank (all stacks drop after 12 seconds of not being the highest threat target).

- Every 25% the boss will disappear (dropping all threat), when he re-appears it will be at a random raid member and he will begin to consume them (rendering them stunned for the duration, and generates high aggro), the tank has 6 seconds to reacquire enough aggro on the boss or the member will be consumed (killed) healing the boss for 10% of his total HP (the tank can be assisted by TotT, MD, etc.).

- The boss gains +5% damage for every 3 seconds it doesn't move (except when consuming a target - it is reset to 0 and it doesn't begin until after the target is consumed or it is broken). The +% damage resets to 0 when he does move.

- The boss leaves a trail of smoke behind it 5 yards wide. Anyone in the smoke has it's stats reduced by 20%. The smoke stays for the entire fight (think of the snake game where it gets longer each section you gain - so kiting paths become an issue the longer the fight is).

- Every 15 seconds the boss also puts a random curse, poison, magic or disease on a random raid member at a range greater than 5 yards. All do various (nature, shadow, etc.) damage over time effects (more damage the longer they are on - to a limit) and can be removed by their respective removal abilities. The dots can be healed thru, but will do constant damage until removed (as in your raid composition needs to be able to remove all types of effects and cover others when they are killed).

- Everyone within 5 yards of the boss will take steady damage from an aura. The damage is not high but enough that it requires constant "topping off" on all melee ranged party members.

- 2 minutes after a raid member has died their corpse will be reanimated as an undead add for the boss (with HP equal to 10% of the bosses remaining HP). The add will randomly jump and stun one member of the raid for 5 seconds every 30 seconds. The add can be killed and doesn't respawn after it is. If attacked it will attempt to run away at +15% normal movement speed and cannot be taunted (it will also still do it's stun attack when up - barring any cc that delay's it). Multiple adds can be up at the same time.

[vkei]

a boss that take no damage just AE eveything for a given time at P1,that means no tank or DPS needed for P1, only healing and sooooooooooooo much healing

on P2 the boss stop attacking and u need to take him down at a given time , so no tank or healer is needed for P2 ,a DPS race that need everyone to get the last bit of DPS out

for P3 , the boss enlagre, he will do XXXX damage AE(means killing everyone) if he kills any target.... u have to tank him for a given time and make sure your tank not get killed, the boss will die himself after that...

the boss's HP / damage will go up with the gear ilvl of the raid...........the consept is that u need to get your best DPS out even u are a healer or tank, try to heal as your best as a hybird .....or say........doing all the thing u can

Ripped out this one from an old post of mine, but reworded it a little.

Highlord Arithios <Grand Warlord of the Scourge>
Health: 15,980,000 (25-Normal: 46,240,000)
Mechanics: Whirlwind, Cleave, Adds, Diseases
Phases: 3

All Phases

Frozen Wake
Blasts the targeted area with freezing ice, causing 5263-6067 (25-Normal: 6033-6877) Frost damage within 15 yards and infecting targets with Deathly Delirium. Deathly Delirium causes 9505-9726 (25-Normal: 10573-1139) Shadow or Frost damage, whichever is higher, over 12 seconds and at the end of the effect, will attempt to jump to another target within a 30 yard radius. Frozen Wake is cast once per phase transition.

Blade Dance - Cooldown: 45 sec.
In a dance of steel, Arithios charges up to 2 (25-Normal: 5) random raid members (ranged favored), causing 60% (25-Normal: 75%) weapon damage with both weapons per second to all targets caught within 15 yards of Arithios.

Reference: Warchief Kargath Bladefist

Whirlwind - Cooldown 15 sec.
In a whirlwind of steel, Arithios causes 110% (25-Normal: 135%) weapon damage to all targets within 15 yards. If Whirlwind damages more than 2 (25-Normal: 4) targets, the cooldown of Blade Dance is reset and cast immediately afterwards.

Shadow Cleave
Cleave the current target and its nearest ally for 100% weapon damage as Shadow damage. Only 33% of the damage caused is split to the second target. This ability cannot miss, be dodged, parried, blocked or resisted. This is cast every 3rd (25-Normal: 2nd) attack made.

Potent Diseases
Whenever a disease is dispelled off a friendly target, all current diseases not dispelled are refreshed and cause 10% more damage. In addition, Potent Diseases also cause the dispelled target to suffer from Deteriorating Immunity, reducing the chance that the next dispell cast on the target will remove a disease by 5%. Stacks up to 20 times. Once stacked up to 20 times, the next disease will cause 250% damage throughout its entire duration and consume up to 5 stacks of Potent Diseases.

Phase 1: 100%-65%

Morbid Embrace - Cooldown 60 sec
Arithios taps into the essence of death, causing all attacks made to deal an additional 1811-1953 (25-Normal: 2084-2175) Nature damage to all targets in a 100 yard radius and to sometimes inflict Morbid Parasite. Morbid Parasite deals 5347-5968 (25-Normal: 5752-6206) Nature damage after 5 seconds and spawns an undead minion with 87000 (25-Normal: 284000) health that will attempt to heal Arithios when it reaches him for 5% (25-Normal: 2.5%) of his maximum health. When dispelled, Morbid Parasite reduces healing caused by 50% for 10 seconds. Morbid Embrace lasts 8 seconds.

Grasp of Undeath - Cooldown 55 sec
Strangulate up to 2 (25-Normal: 6) targets, rendering them unable to take action for up to 8 seconds. If the grasping arms of the dead are not destroyed within the time they're active, strangulated targets with diseases cause a Pestilence, spreading all of their active diseases to all nearby targets within a 20 yard range. Each grasp of the dead has 32700 (25-Normal: 75100) health.

Absolute Zero - Cooldown 60 sec
Arithios freezes all targets affected by a disease effect, causing the Hypothermia effect. Hypothermia stuns the diseased target for 6 seconds and prevents all spells that render the target invulnerable for the next 30 seconds.

Phase 2: 64%-35%

Pandemic
Whenever a target dies while under the effects of a disease, a Pandemic occurs, spreading all diseases of the dying target to all targets. However, the disease is 50% less effective.

Damnation
Whenever Arithios' diseases cause damage, they have a 5% chance to also cause the Damnation effect, reducing healing taken by 25% for 4 seconds.

Plague Torrent - Cooldown 25 sec
Ignites all the diseases on up to 3 (25-Normal: 6) targets, causing 33% of the periodic damage caused by the disease and consumes them. Consumed diseases with a final effect at the end of the duration still apply.

Phase 3: 35%-0%

Epidemic
Arithios' diseases now jump to the nearest target within a 15 yard radius after ending and apply 2 stacks of Deteriorating Immunity.

Fever Outbreak
Arithios' diseases also cause a Fever Outbreak, causing 893-941 (25-Normal: 982-1053) Shadow, Frost or Nature damage, whichever is higher, constantly every 2 seconds until the target is no longer affected by a disease.

[droppin]

It would be awesome for Cataclysm to have a cow level+king boss. Make it kinda like Hyjal where they come in waves, just TONS of cows, but not slowly building, just tons from the beginning . Throughout the waves each person has to find their own unidentified item in the pile of bodies. Before the Cow King comes out, Deckard Cain indentifies 8) the item as "Tears of Tristram". ToT would be an on use kinda like Archimonde, but to the Cow Kings super nova. Of course he would always have his sinister on hit lightning bolts hitting the raid for x lightning damage . As for loot, it should either be a TON of gold (like 100-300 per person), or maybe an item that increases gold received from mobs by 5-10% ;D. I guess you could make a normal loot table with some cool stuff from diablo but gold/item seems to feel right . Of course he could only be defeatable once (weekly) so no 10 AND 25 gold gathering :P.
