4.2 Baradin Hold Boss "Occu'thar"

[TheTwistedRaven]

Wait, isn't that the Dog that was caged in the Centre of Baradin Hold?

From what it appears, the eyes attach on top of each player's head. You can't easily kill the eyes on your own head as it always counts as behind you. I believe killing each set of eyes will increase the damage the boss takes, some sort of blindness effect.

EDIT: After 10 seconds the eyes explode, dealing approximately 25k shadow damage to the whole raid.

That sounds awesome!

[Archadin]

He'll probably be truly released once the next Arena Season starts.

Derp because next season is patch 4.2

Seems like a fairly straight forward boss. Seems to be on the same level as emalon from WoTLK with adds.

Seems the strat is kill boss, then adds (to get the debuff), then boss, then adds over and over with a tank swap when one tank gets a debuff.

Pugs might have a little more trouble with this as multiple adds not dying and blowing up can lead to a real quick wipe. Then again, remembering frost boss from VoA, how many pugs could you actually convince to kill the adds o.o

You should have seen some of the VoA PuGs back when Emalon was THE boss, some people never thought that killing an add that's growing and will blow up the raid was a priority.

[Kalcheus]

As a Hunter, I approve of this mechanic.

EDIT: @OP: How many eyes were attached at once?

[MrSerious]

thank god its a completely new creature. I don't think I could stand it if they reskinned yet another boss.

i think the last time i did baradin hold the dog wasnt in the cage anymore.and there was like this area blocked off,so maybe

[Deleted]

I think it's nice they let the dog out of its cage. Looking forward to /pet and /loot him.

[Christoffer1989]

Hope the tank debuff cant be anti-magic shell'ed and not put to often = I can solo tank it on my dk^^
If he have high health pool, maybe he takes alot of dmg when you kill the eyes? maybe :P so puggers will hit enrage timer that dont kill eyes

[Mordret]

Skinnable or not?

[Serissa]

Skinnable or not?

Wrong question! You are hunter! Shouldn't you ask tameable or not?

[Deleted]

Wow, I never would have guessed there would be a tank swap mechanic

The eyes thing looks interesting, but since this is tuned for pugs it's unlikely it will require much thinking to deal with.

[Imadraenei]

Wow, I never would have guessed there would be a tank swap mechanic

Why not? Archavon and Toravon had tank swaps.

[Phlegethon]

Why not? Archavon and Toravon had tank swaps.

Sarcasm is hard.

[Bareno]

As a Hunter, I approve of this mechanic.

EDIT: @OP: How many eyes were attached at once?

Looked like 5 of them spawned on us, not certain though.

[Hustle8]

How much HP do those adds have? Can you stack up and just aoe each others eyes?

[Deleted]

Emalon was without doubt the hardest boss in VoA. I recall groups wiping there when they wanted to clear the place (toravon > koralon > Ema..wipe). Adds that blow up and a tankswap, inconceivable.

When did you ever tankswap at Emalon?
