Guess Deathwings raid-encounter abilities!

[Shwaam]

As the title said, what do you expect and think will happen in the fight?

Breaths, cleaves and tail swipes ofcourse. No need to mention those though :P

What do I believe myself? First of all, he is originally the Earth-Warder, so I believe that will have a big part in the fight, not just flames. We will probably see both Earth and Fire elementals along with additional Twilight Cultists.

Well, one thing I can be sure of is that there will be tons of AoE damage :P

Tail swipe, frontal cleave, magma breath.

We can be pretty certain about those.

[apepi]

LAva lava and you know what?more lava:P

[Deleted]

Adds definitely. There is so many bosses that have some sort of ads joining the fight.

[livenomore]

chin cleave

[Cernunnos]

Tail swipe, frontal cleave, magma breath.

We can be pretty certain about those.

Nailed those abilities, lol.

Probably throw in more AOE fire abilities, Fireballs, fire walls, giant dont stand in fire void zones.

Plus various assortment of earth AOE abilities.


Could probably throw in some cultist adds, or elemental or dragonkin adds for transition phases (LK), or before the fight (KT)

[Jainzar]

Tail swipe, frontal cleave, magma breath.

We can be pretty certain about those.

spot on ;p

[broflmao]

Flame wave possibly

[Rathmorne]

Blizzard is going to make it so he doesn't cleave. I mean, the LK did't cleave. Why be unoriginal?

[Jyuken]

Mhm, a fire dwagon.. lets see.

Frostbolt, Cone of Cold, Frost Nova, and i think maybe Ice Lance

[Scarletreturns]

Tail swipe, frontal cleave, magma breath.

We can be pretty certain about those.

Chin swipe, frontal chin cleave, magma chin

we can be pretty certain about those

[MorphexEU]

Apocalypse, deathwing version.

[Maeco]

I think he is going to stun players with his epic voice and cool I-am-so-annoyed-with-everything-right-now monologs.

On a more serious note, I think his body heat will play a part, just like the frost aura of Sapphiron and Sindragosa. I think it would be cool if it is an active element of the fight, where each player needs to build and maintain an active fire resistance buff.

And yeah, the tank will be poured over by:
Liquid
Hot

Better not be like Ragnaros when you first started raiding him. You did nothing but (farm mobs and mats endless for fire resist gear so you could) stack Fire Resist gear. Oh and went into UBRS and MC'd the guy who casts "fire Resistance" and had him cast it on your whole raid.

[Lopiak]

Hopefully something like he has with his wings during the cinematic (Wings are like fiery). Other than that a few other things + normal dragon abilities

Off Topic: Anyone else kind of disappointed that hes got the normal dragon skeleton? In all his photos / CG / art he has a strong chest and a brooding neck that makes him look insane. In game he is just a reskinned dragon though. Just a thought.

Actually no, that wasn't what I meant. Atleast, using resistance gear I find a passive form, whereas I meant it to be an active mechanism, where you build up a fire resistance buff which you need to survive certain abilities. Best example I can give you is the Festergut spore mechanism, where you need those 2/3 spore debuffs to survive Festergut's exhale.

"Deathwing is a terrifying opponent who is as cruel as he is vicious. He cares nothing for honor or nobility, striking with whatever weapons and cunning he has at his disposal, reveling in causing earthquakes and ripping open volcanic fissures. He often sends his minions into combat while he surveys the battlefield, striking at whatever weaknesses he discovers."

He will most likely capture Alexstrasza. Then you have to fight him above a Bridge where he shoots fireballs at you. After his defeat he will fall into the Lava and you go into the back room to save Alex. But there will stand Krasus saing "thank you, but our Liefbinder is in another castle".

[Ave07]

Some type of deep breath.
