Deathwing Tactics

[Deleted]

Ok the raiding in Cataclysm beta has just started and I want to hear all of your views of the type of tactics that you would like to see for Deathwing leave your ideas and comments below.

[Maethor]

Pray and cower in fear.

[Chulda]

I'd like to see Deathwing's deep breath... Run for your lives!

[Herecius]

I hope all of the tactics below this post pale in comparison to the actual encounter.

Imo deathwings firey breath shud cover 99% of the space, and all wud have to stack at that spot

Thats the idea i wanna see peoples thoughts on the tactics because you never know it could be handy when the encounter comes out. It could be like LK where frostmourne shatters and all the souls come out but instead of that it is the demon soul and all that power overwhelms deathwing.

tank and spank + a bit more.. =p

[cooespooh]

Make a line-of-sight blocker in one part of the room... like a rock that juts out of the ground. Deathwing flies up, lands at one end of the room and starts casting some sort of omega deep breath. Everyone must get behind this one rock or else they will die instantly. He fills the ENTIRE room with flames from his breath, and they could make a cool new spell effect that makes it actually look like the flames don't go behind the rock.

Edit: Also make it so that the tanks or some random group of people in the raid have a very strong movement slowing effect so that the only way they will survive is if the raid goes by some special mechanic in the fight to clear the effect off of them before he launches his gout of insta-gib flame.

Edit 2: OH! And make some sort of mechanic where if the tank/offtank dies he does something really really dramatic to kill everyone in the raid instantly... seeing a giant dragon running from one raider to the next when the tanks are dead is just silly.

The Demon Soul IS broken. The Power stored in there returned to the other Aspects.

I for one think that the Raid for Deathwing should have 6 Bosses:
1. Deathwings Left Foreclaw
2. Deathwings Right Foreclaw
3. Deathwings left Afterclaw
4. Deathwings right Afterclaw
5. Deathwings Tail
6. Deathwings Head.

[Erriq]

tank and spank

That's more than enough.

[Maethor]

Try to spank a giant dragon covered in almost indestructible Plates and enough heat that pure convection should melt plate armor...

[diox990]

something like and overtuned version of Onixia's deep breath instant cast would be fine

In all seriousness, I think it would be cool to have different parts of his body targetable. Something like, wound his back right leg to leave his chest plate or head more vulnerable or something to that effect.

[Coar]

I think there should be two defiles, three on hardmode.

No one would ever beat it GG

But in all seriousness:

He frontal cones, avoid the tail.

Cool, just as long as it doesn't turn into a Kologarn encounter!

[Bizkitz]

I made one in another thread. Cba to find it.

Thats what they said about Arthas' helm and plate of dominance but look at him now

[Vein]

He'll eat the entire raid and we have to kill him from the inside.

I reckon that if we kill deathwing we would probably be getting a title like Dragonslayer so that we could do him on heroic :P

Oops, I suppose you're right
