I put together a word document for my guild for the upcoming Heroic Highmaul release. I used the dungeon journal, FatBoss guides, and some other beta videos to compile of the information. Some of it is information I interpreted myself. So, it is a possibility that some of the information in this MAY be incorrect, but I believe most of it will be helpful. Sorry for the fairly messy set up, but I just copied and pasted straight from word. Tried to clean it up as best I could. Enjoy and good luck next week!
Kargath
• Mauling Brew, Iron Bomb, Fire Bomb, Fire Pillar = Don’t stand in
• Blade Dance – Spread out to avoid damage
• Berserker Rush – Targets person, chases them, cleaves in front
o Kite and immune it
• Chain Hurl – Minor knockback, closest 5 players get sent up
o 4 DPS/1 Healer or 1 Tank/1 Heal/3 DPS
• Drunken Bileslinger – Don’t stand in front
• Iron Grunt – Nuke, does moderate damage to target
• Iron Bomber – Least priority
• Taunt on Impales
Notes: For tank switches, can send the tank with impale in the stands for easy tank swap. Do not let people reach 40% health in stands, they will get thrown out. Don’t fall in the pits with tigers. Pretty simple fight.
Butcher
• Cleaves tanks
• Cleave – targets melee for physical AoE damage split amongst everyone in it
• Bounding Cleave – Knock back then cleaves
• Gushing Wounds – 5 stacks = death
o 2 Groups to switch for Cleave
o Watch stacks
Notes: Tanks must stack on each other. Taunt on Tenderizer debuff, taunt as soon as it falls off. Stack on other sides of legs. Cleave mechanic will target the melee group with more people in it, so have people switch between groups to make one bigger than the other, watch stacks when moving. Bounding Cleave can have melee spread out, and ranged group up so Gushing Wounds doesn’t hit melee, who already has stacks.
Tectus
• Accretion – 5% per stack. Loses stacks based on damage. DPS race.
• Crystalline Barrage – like blood queen lana’thel flames, but come out of boss
• Fracture – Simple ground effect. Just get out
• Earthen Pillar – HUGE GROUND EFFECT GET THE FUCK OUT
• Tectonic Upheaval – MASSIVE AoE damage like XT in Ulduar. MUST kill during this cast.
• 2 Adds comes out only during first phase with big Tectus.
o Earthwarper – Creates a tornado that goes towards boss. Must be intercepted by tank. Given debuff Petrification. DO NOT HIT BOSS WHILE DEBUFF IS ON YOU.
o Berserker – Fixates and cleaves. Kite away
Notes: Encounter starts with 1 Tectus. Once you kill, he splits into 2 Tecti. He will do all the same abilities but double. Zerg one down. Then that baby Tectus will make 4 smaller Tecti. Same thing. But even more shit. Huge clusterfuck.
Brackenspore
• Creeping Moss – Encloses area. If touches boss heals 2% every 2 seconds. CANNOT let it hit boss.
o Flamethrowers to counter this
• Necrotic Breath – Frontal cone AoE. Reduces healing by 99%.
o Tank/Healer CDs
• Adds
o Spore Shooter – Shoots closest person within 8 yards like Majordomo
o Mind Fungus – Reduces casting speed by 75%. KILL FAST.
o Fungal Flesh-Eater – Stacking damage/speed/casting increase. KICK DECAY.
• Good Adds
o Living Mushroom – Heal all the up. HUGE AoE raid heals. Increased rate of death longer its up.
o Rejuvenating Mushroom – Heal up for 30% haste and Mana Regen.
Notes: Need to be very good with flamethrowers. MAY be able to drop, and re-pick up the guns to reset the heat. Green and Blue mushrooms must be healed, they constantly have their health decay, so keep on healing so the buffs are around longer. Bad mushrooms spawn on players so don’t be too stacked up. Have melee kill the Mind Fungus. Have someone eat the shooters, can dot them down, but not a priority. Flesh-Eaters MUST DIE. Interrupt Decay, need multiple interrupts for it due to how often he casts it. Flesh eater > Mind Spore > Shooter. They spawn on set timers, so do not want to get multiple.
Twin Ogron
• Pol
o Shield Bash – Special attack on tank
o Shield Charge – Randomly charges person. Damage based on how far he travels. Leaves debuff on anyone hit. Don’t get hit.
o Interrupting Shout – Physical raid AoE damage. Interrupts spell casting.
o Pulverize – 3 different stages.
Unavoidable raid damage
Ground effect of 8 yards. Move out
Unavoidable raid damage based on how close to center of ground effect you are.
o Whirlwind – Bladestorms. Get out. Weakened Defenses if hit
Increases damage by Shield Bash.
o Enfeebling Roar – Shouts giving 300% damage taken for 300 seconds. Split amongst everyone grouped up for it.
o Quake – Raid wide AoE Nature damage
• Blaze – Fire on the ground
Notes: A lot of stacking and spreading. Energy bar tells you when ability is happening. Bladestorm can be kited away from group. Stack for Enfeebling roar. Stack for Interrupting shout with raid CDs. Spread for first stage of Pulverize, avoid the 2nd stage, get as far away from 3rd stage.
Ko’ragh
• Nullification Barrier – Absorbs MAGIC damage randomly. 3-13 million
o Longer barrier up. More damage he does. 8% per 10 seconds
• Caustic Energy – While boss charges up Nullification Barrier. ONE person stands in and gets HUGE heals. They will receive the barrier also.
• Suppression Field – Ground effect. Silences in it.
• Expel Magic – 4 Stages
o Fire – Deals damage per second for 10 seconds. Once expires, big AoE damage.
o Arcane – Only applied tank? Simply run away from everyone and don’t stop moving till done.
o Frost – Deals frost damage to everyone. Within 30 yards slows movement.
o Shadow – Puts heal absorbing shield on everyone
• Overflowing Energy – Balls dropping to ground. Similar Blood Council balls, and the dragon killed to get 680 legendary ring. Stand under it, bounces off face, goes back up. MUST HAVE NULLIFICATION BARRIER TO JUGGLE THESE. DON’T LET HIT GROUND. If hit ground, ~70k damage raid wide.
• Volatile Anomalies – Adds. Spawn in 3s while Rune of Nullification is active, while he is charging his Barrier. When they die, explode for raid wide Arcane damage. Kill them in Suppression Field, wont explode.
Notes: Magic based damage must be used to break the barrier. Spread for the end of Expel Fire debuff, MAY be dispellable, so abuse this with MD’s. Arcane, just have tank get away from everyone, do not be near the tank. Frost hits just about everyone, move away 30 yards to avoid the slow, windwalk totem and feral aoe speed might clear it. Have one person stand in the Nullification Barrier charge in order for them to get the barrier also. There is 1 ball to start, once someone gets the barrier, there will be 2, so there might be one unavoidable hit from hitting the ground. Have to spam heals the person getting barrier, takes more and more damage. Watch the amounts of your barrier.
