Thread: Cataclysm Boss Fights.

How would you like the boss fights in Cataclysm to go down? Do you want the Raggy fight to be the same, or is their something you would change? Post it here. I'll start the thread with my idea for the Deathwing fight. If you notice anything horibly wrong, such as spelling/grammer errors, just say. The fight will start after the break.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------


My Deathwing (henceforth refered to as DW) fight idea. List of spells, with damage, type (fire, physical damage, has dot etc) and any mobs in next post.

P1 - DW isn't visable, but you can hear him, and read what he says in chat log. Adds appear, twilight, chromatic and black drakes, whelps and Drakonids. These come constantly through out the fight. They hit hard enough to require an actual tank tanks them, not dps. After a certain number of waves - about 10, size of wave differs depending on difficulty - DW shouts

"ENOUGH OF THESE GAMES! YOUR TIME HAS COME, FOOLISH MORTALS! LET IT BE FINISHED!" - D

P2 - He jumps down from the shadows at the ceiling of this cave, and upon impact, all players are sent 10 yards back, and stunned for X seconds.1. As DW is a-chargin his fireball! Alexstrasza, with some red dragons in tow, appears/enters the cavern, perhaps with members of bronze/green/blue dragonflight.

"Deathwing, my brother, it hurts me to see you crazed like this. Please, I beg of you, end this crusade against the mortal races, see the folly of your ways! Be Deathwing no longer, and return to be the Neltharion we loved! Please!

"Ha! You want it all for yourself, don't you! Azeroth shall belong to me, and me along! If you beg enough, I may just let you and your pityfull flight to live." - D

"You... you are not the Neltharion we once knew. Something has changed you, something has made you this way. If only I kn-" - A

"Enough talk! Pit yourself against me if you will! - D

At this point, Alex, with dragons, is charged by DW and she tanks him. Your tanks will be taking the adds2. The battle between the aspects alternates between being on the ground and in the air3, so ranged full time on bosses, melee switching. Best tanks adds in the center. During this phase DW shoots some lava at the ground, doing damage to targets near, leaving a fire in plae and also a dot on people hit by the direct damage. Heals focus on healing alex4, however. She has health in the millions, about 70% of Dw, and an aura on her, increasing healing taken. When DW gets to about 70-80%, he disengages, shouting;

P3 - "YOU ARE AN ASPECT, YOU SHOULDN'T NEED THE HELP OF MORTALS! THIS DOES NOT CONCERN THEM!" - D

"Neltharion, this concerns everything on Azeroth. As queen of life, I simply cannot stand idly by and watch this happen. We have our orders." - A

"If you really believe they care, and insist on using mortals, then you are not worth my time." - D

At this, he shatters the roof of the cave, sending rocks atumbling down on the raid, and the drakes. The blue drakes teleport everyone outside, and the raid mounts the drakes, giving chase to DW. No damage is done to DW in this phase, you chase him, you controll the dragon, and you have to shoot down blakc/chromatic/twilight drakes as you chase him. Speed is extremelly high, about 500-550%. After a minuete or two, you enter;

P4 - 5 - "Bah. If you are so intent on finishing this now, then come! Face me like a dragon, not some cowering critter, hiding in a bush!" - D

"Neltharion, I just wish for you to see the error of your ways, and to repent, to return to guarding Azeroth, not destroying it." - A

Dw charges Alex. They plummet to the ground, and fight there, but only for about 30 seconds. In this time, the dps, healers and tanks must split, half on Dw's head, half on Alex. The half on Dw hurt him by attacking his head/adds on him. The half on alex protecter her, and heal her if possible. The healers on Dw must heal against his heat aura, which is an aoe dot to those on him. Drakes damage the aspects6 they arent with, Ranged can kill drakes in the air, but some land and the melee kill em. At 30%, Ysera arrives in the fight with more drakes, having been on her way to Dws cavern and arriving there just after we left, following us here. We enter the dreaded;

P5 - Ysera gives everyone except DW and the black/chromatic/twilight drakes the 20% ICC buff, which is good as Dw enters a mini-enrage, increasing damage by 20%.

"Neltharion, my brother. No longer shall me and Alexstrazsa watch as you seek to eliminate all but your own creations. On this day, we shall out an end to your reign of terror over the deep places of Azeroth." - Y

"It is laughable that you still think you can best me. You two, even together, cannot. I AM DEATHWING, THE DESTROYER. I AM UNSTOPPABLE!" - D

"Neltharion, please. I beg of you to end, for the sake of all life on Azeroth. If you repent now, no more harm will come to you or your flight from the other flights." - A

"NEVER! SOON, YOU SHALL ALL SERVE ME. SOON, YOU SHALL ALL SEE THE POWER THAT IS DEATHWING!" - D

They re-engage. This is a burn phase, so use Cds/hero/IWIN buttons. ITs the same as P4, only bigger numbers, and with Ysera. You have to get him to 5%, when Alex and Ysera pin him, silencing him so he can't ue magic, holding him so he can't fly. Players get off, the rest of the right takes place on the ground. Ysera and Alexstrazsa tank DW. Healers heal them and the tanks, who are still tanking drakes.

"Deathwing, please take what me and Ysera are offering you. You need not go down this path. " - A

"Soon both your flights will be dust!" - D

He whacks Ysera with his tail and breaks out.

"So be it. Ysera, when you are redy, we end this now." - A

"I am always ready Alexstrazsa. Let this all be over soon." - Y

"BEHOLD, THE POWER THAT BELONGS TO ME!" - D

P6 - He begins charging a huge fireball. , long cast time, un-interuptable. He takes X% extra damage during this, so burn him down, adds, healers, everyone. When he dies, he literaly explodes in a ball of fire, but Ysera takes you all into the dream, and allows it to pass before going back to Azeroth. The plating DW was wearing is the lootable part, the helm to be precise. When he dies, an emote goes to the entire server saying - "The Destroyer is no more, the deep places are un-guarded. The earth itself is in mourning. Deathwing is no more." Npcs cheer and /dance at this.

You get the achievment and one of two titles, from either Alex or Ysera. They are X, Friend of the Dreamer or Lifewarden X.

"It saddens me that it must end this way, Ysera. I honestly beleived there was hope for him." - A

"This is indeed a sad day, Alexstrazsa. The very earth weeps for the loss of it's guardian, no matter how crazed he may have become. Heroes, you may help yourself to whatever trinkets he has left behind. We thank you for your assistance, but we must leave to mourn in peace. Farewell." - Y


1 - Adds are effected by this as well.
2 - Adds dont hit that hard, 1 healer in 10 and 1/2 in 25 should be enough.
3 - If either aspect lands on you, you die. The cavern is huge, so it shouldn't happen unless you dc.
4 - Green/red drakes help heal. Bronze/blue help damage.
5 - Dw will be at about 65% when we enter P4, as Alex/the drakes get hits in on him as he tries to flee.
6 - Blue/Bronze hurt Dw, green/red heals. Black, twilight Chromatic hurt alex/Ysera.
