Cataclysm Heroics - Short guides

[optovisc]

Tried to make them as short as possible but some things you just can't summarize.
Feel free to let me know what you think should be added.

Blackrock Caverns
Rom'ogg Bonecrusher:
Casts Quake, move out of dust clouds, spawns adds, kill adds. Casts Chains of Woe - Skullcracker combo, dpsers have to DPS down Chains of Woe (it's a targettable mob sort of thing) and run away from the boss.

Corla:
Casts Dark Command, a fear, best to put an interrupter on it, or dispel it. Purple beams flow from the dragon above your heads to the Zealots kneeling in front of her. Use as many ranged as you can to block the beams from reaching the Zealots by standing in between the Zealots and the beams. Beams place a stacking debuff on whoever it is currently hitting. Move out of beam when you get to ~80 stacks, move out to drop stacks, move back in immediately. 100 stacks = MC player/Evolved Zealot.

Karsh Steelbender(optional):
Starts with 90% damage reduction. Have to be pulled through the lava stream to be able to deal damage to him. When pulled through the lava stream, he loses the damage reduction buff and gains the damage taken increment buff. Each stack gives him 5% extra damage taken. The stacks last for around 6-8 seconds, gain one or two stacks at a time by pulling him through the lava every so often. For every tick he is in the lava he will cast an AoE, the higher his debuff stack, the harder the AoE hits. When the debuff drops, elementals spawn on the outside and have to be pulled to the bottom of the ramp and killed there. Use a DPS with Taunt-like abilities if available. Drops lava pools on their deaths, when boss is placed in said lava pools, it emulates him being placed in the lava stream.

Beauty (optional):
Use as many Beast CCs as you can on the three puppies in front of her. Don't kill Runty (he does not engage with the rest of the group, he will enrage the boss when killed). Kill any remaining puppies, they place lava pools on the floor, get away from them. Kill boss.

Ascendant Lord Obsidius:
Three adds that need to be kited/OTed throughout the fight. They place healing debuffs on the kiter/OT if they are close enough. At 66% and 33% the boss will switch places with one of the adds. Pick him up quickly and burn him down.

Deadmines
Glubtok:
Tank and spank till 50%. After 50%, he is untankable, and he will spawn a moving Fire Wall with him as the center of the Fire Wall. Melee needs to watch out for this. He will also spawn adds and drop icicles. Tank adds, avoid stuff, burn boss.

Helix Gearbreaker:
Avoid bombs. Don't bother killing the minions. When he jumps off the Oaf and attaches himself to one of the players, just keep attacking the Oaf. He will also attach bombs to someone's chest, that person has to run away. The oaf will also pick up someone and charge into the wall with him, heal him up. After Oaf is dead, kill the goblin.

Foe Reaper 5000:
Avoid Overdrive (whirlwind). Casts harvest which targets a random player and places a mark on the floor. Get out of his path and the mark, it will one shot you. Someone needs to get on the Prototype vehicle to tank the Fire Elementals which spawn near the boss's starting area. Just spam 1, 1, 2. Advised to tank the boss on the ramps. Enrages at 30%.

Admiral Ripsnarl:
DPS down vapors then focus on boss. Last 500k health or so he will spawn 3 vapors at once. Just burn him then.

"Captain" Cookie:
Rotten food leave an AoE on the floor and when ingested will place one stack of a DoT on you. Eat good food to remove one stack of the DoT. Keep DPSing boss. Untankable. Tank can go DPS spec for this fight. Feel free to use a paladin to bubble and eat up all the rotten food.

Vanessa VanCleef:
Super long.
First phase: Click levers to escape. Wait for fires to spawn. Stay away from fires and ice patches. Boss is at the end of the ramp. Tank and spank.
Second phase: Boss spawns at the first boss's location. Tank him near the corner just to the side of the door. Spider adds will spawn. Ignore and burn boss.
Third phase: Lots of moving Electrical Walls, avoid and make your way to the end where the boss is waiting. Tank and spank.
Fourth phase: Tank the three worgens which are attacking the NPCs. They periodically go back to attacking the NPC so it's pretty much a DPS race. Run to the next NPC and save him, run to the boss, burn him down before he kills the NPC.
Fifth phase: Kill adds, kill boss. Ropes spawn opposite of where the ramps leading to the ship are. Click to avoid being one shot by the fires. When you swing back to the ship, the boss will not engage till you attack her. Take your time to recover mana/CDs.

Grim Batol
General Umbriss:
If you have a CC for Humanoids, excellent. Boss summons Troggs to aid him. There is one special Trogg that spawns called the Malignant Trogg. If killed, he will transform any normal Trogg within his range into a Malignant Trogg as well. If the boss is near him when killed, he will gain a 50% damage increase. The Malignant Trogg is CCable, and if CCed, the boss will not spawn any more Malignant Trogg until the current one dies.

Forgemaster Throngus:
When he picks up his shield, stay away from the front of him. When he picks up his Mace, do not stand in lava pools and kite him. Someone will also be impaled. Heal him up. When he picks up his Dual Swords, expect heavy incoming damage and just tnak him as normal.

Drahga Shadowburner:
Run away from Fire Elementals if you are targetted by one. They will target you with a fire beam. DPS boss down to 50%, he hops on a dragon and continues to summon Fire Elementals. The dragon will also periodically cast a breath (Devouring Flames) which is quite large. Stay away from it.

Erudax:
Targets a random player with a snare, just keep running when he targets you with it and you will avoid it. Casts Shadow Gale, get in the dark spot he spawns to avoid damage. Once Shadow Gale is over he spawns two Guardians. Move out of the eye with atound 2 seconds remaining on Shadow Gale to run to the door and wait for the Guardians. Split your DPSers accordingly with slows to kill the Guardians. They will attempt to reach the eggs and spawn Whelps which deal damage to everyone in the party and cannot be killed. He will also periodically place a three second debuff on the tank and knock him back. The debuff increases damage taken by 100%. Keep away from the boss until the debuff is gone.

Halls of Origination
Temple Guardian Anhuur:
Stay out of fire. The boss will periodically place a shield up and start channeling a spell that places a stacking DoT on everyone. Levers to deactivate the shield spawn on the left and right pillars in the sand pit below and have a 10 second channel. Have everyone except one DPSer with an interrupt jump down. Place someone on lever duty and have the tank pick up all the snakes as they interrupt the channel. Once both levers are pushed the shield will deactivate and the DPSer that was left up top should interrupt him immediately.

Earthrager Ptah:
Stay out of spikes that first appear as dust clouds on the floor. Boss breaks apart at 50%, adds spawn. Kill adds. Avoid tornadoes and quicksand. Kill boss.

Casts Alpha Beams which places void zones on the floor. Stay out of it. Casts Omega Stance which deals massive AoE damage. heall through it. Kill boss.

Setesh:
Has no aggro table. Spawns portals which must be DPSed down. First add to come out of the portal is the Void Sentinel which must be tanked till the end of the fight as they have a 75% damage reduction. Second add to spawn is a pair of Void Wyrms which must also be tanked. They can be killed by dragging them through the purple puddles that the boss creates on the floor. Third add to spawn (you really don't want this) is the Void Seekers which channel a debuff on their targets which makes their targets unable to cast or receive healing. Stay out of the purple puddles. Stay out of green domes on the floor. He also spawns black crystals with a green aura which place a debuff on the player when popped by running over it. Debuff lasts for 20 seconds and allows the player to shoot a 18k+ bolt at his target when he damages something. Crucial to fight. Does not stack, so call out for someone to pick it up if you just picked one up. if it is too far from you, avoid it as it will be a DPS loss.

Zerging this boss is only an option if you have a good group.

Ammunae:
Kill podlings that spawn. They eventually mature into plants (you don't want this). If they do mature into plants, you can kill a Spore to leave a puddle on the floor which "rots plant life". The boss starts at 0 Energy. When he reaches 100 Energy he will cast an AoE.

Rajh:

Siamat:
Places a 90% damage reduction shield on himself while adds spawn. Kill adds. Once adds are dead the shield drops. He will then bounce everyone around for awhile. Try not to get knocked off the edge. You can use the Wind Tunnel if you get dropped. Smaller caster adds continue to spawn. Get melee to kill the caster adds. Also casts Gather Storm Cloud which deals AoE damage to all members.

Shadowfang Keep
Baron Ashbury:
Casts Pain and Suffering. Interrupt if possible, else dispel. Casts Mend Rotten Flesh. You must interrupt this. It heals him for 30%. Casts Asphyxiate. Brings everyone to 1 hp. Immediately casts Stay of Execution after. Every tick of Stay of Execution heals you and the boss for 10% health. Let it tick 1-2 times before interrupting as the heal will run out of mana pretty quickly otherwise.

Baron Silverlaine:
Two choices: Zerg boss, or DPS down adds then DPS boss. Your mileage may vary.

Commander Springvale:
Kill adds. Interrupt adds' Unholy Empowerment if possible. It heals him for 4%. Ranged should maintain distance from the Wailing Guards as they cast an AoE spell lock (Screams of the Past). Stay out of front of boss. Stay out of Desecration. After around the second wave of adds, he places Word of Shame on all players which decrements the player's health by 5% every 3 seconds. It is now a DPS race. Kill boss.

Lord Walden:
Casts Conjure Mystery Toxin. If you get the red debuff, stop moving. If you get the green debuff, keep moving. He also casts frost shards which are indicated by him shooting small little frost shards to small blue circles on the floor. Stay out of the circles.

Lord Godfrey:
DPS adds. Try and interrupt Cursed Bullet as best as you can. Stay out of the front of the boss when he casts Pistol Barrage (it's a cone), even the tank.

The Stonecore
Corborus:
Stay out of pink/purple shards. They explode and deal huge AoE and place a debuff on you that increases your damage taken. AoE the shards down. When the boss burrows, stay away from dust clouds. The boss will do a dolphin dive and one shot you. Kill rock elementals that spawn.

Slabhide:
Avoid dark shadows on the floor. Spikes will fall down from above and one shot you. Stay away from dust clouds, they spawn lava pools. When he casts Crystal Barrage LOS behind a spike that is out of his hit box.

Ozruk:
Casts Ground Slam which is a cone of spikes. One shots tank. Walk through his model when he casts it to avoid it. You can also choose to sidestep it. Casts Elementium Spike Shield. Whenever you melee him, you place a DoT on yourself. You want this. Also casts Elementium Bulwark. This reflects spells. This is spellstealable but only do so if your healer/ranged are far enough form the boss (20 - 30 yards). Casts Paralysis - Shatter combo. One shots everyone in range. He will cast Paralysis and the only way to break it is through dispel Magic or damage done to you. This is where the DoT comes in for melee. As soon as your Paralysis is broken run away from him.

Erunak Stonespeaker & Mindbender Ghur'sha:
Stay out of Earth spikes. Interrupt Lava Burst. DPS boss to 50% at which the octopus on his head will detach and MC another player. DPS the MCed player to 50% and he will pop off automatically and cast two abilities. Absorb Magic absorbs all healing done to your members and redirects the healing done to him. Purge it or spellsteal it. He also throws poison pools on the floor. Stay out of it. Rinse and repeat.

Ozumat:
Kill smallest adds. Kill small faceless mobs. Tank large faceless guardian. Once they are all down, four sappers will spawn and other adds will continue to spawn. DPSers should just focus on the four sappers. Stay out of the black pools, they place a stacking DoT on you. Once the four sappers are down you will grow large and be able to attack Ozumat. At this point it becomes a DPS race and you should blow all cooldowns. Healers will not be able to keep you up for long. Killing the adds when you are large may give you more time to kill him if you are having trouble, otherwise kite them as they are easily kitable.

[Ylts]

nice, perhaps add more color?

[optovisc]

Unfortunately it seems I am unable to add color to my posts. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Neglected]

Lockmaw's enrage can also be removed by Shiv; Augh's enrage cannot.

[Grim32]

On Ozumat I suggest killing the adds when you get the giant buff, then killing ozumat. As they put a stacking debuff on your which kills you fast. If you kill them you have quite a bit longer to kill the boss.. And you practically one-shot them anyway with the giant buff.

[lotus]

Thank you for the guide. I tend to forget some of the mechanics on some bosses and your post is a great refresher; and it beats having to check wowhead and scroll through 50 useless "We killed him like this!" posts.

Just a note, in Blackrock Caverns, the third boss Karsh Steelbender is also optional (or is as of 12/21/10).

[optovisc]

Thanks for the changes guys. I have added them in.

[DK1989]

Nicely done, +rep when I can again >.<

[Neglected]

Oh, and the soul whatsits in phase 2 of the Barim encounter can be stunned and slowed. Possibly sheeped, hexed, etc, too.

[optovisc]

Thanks for the changes. They probably can't be CCed as they aren't classified as anything but I have added the stun/slow.

[flumbie]

My tips:
Blackrock caverns:
Karsh: If you have a class other than tank that can taunt (that includes hunters with distracting shot) get the tank to pick up all the adds and get 1 or 2 dps to pull the adds of 1 or 2 at a time and kill them away from the tank while the remaining dps and tank keep dpsing the boss. The adds dont seem to do too much damage so this has worked for me when Ive done it.

Grim Batol:
Erudax: You want to be leaving the eye right as the storm ends even if you accidentally take a tick of the aoe. You want to get to the doors and be able to dps the adds as soon as they spawn. Generally if an egg breaks it means a wipe. AoE snares such as frost trap and earthbind totem work wonders here. This is particularly important at low gear levels as it can be hard to put out enough damage to down these adds before they summon the whelps. This way they stay together longer so you can use cleave type abilities and multishot, etc. When Ive done it dps have focused most damage on 1 add and killed it well before the eggs then switched to the other and downed it as it gets to them.

Throne of the tides:
Ozumat: Save all cooldowns for p3. Tank should ideally be kiting (they move slow very easy to kite, drop a frost trap or something to make it easier) the adds away from the dps during P2 as I believe they have an aura that deals damage to nearby units. Very little damage should be taken by dps in P2 as you want to save the healers mana so they can spam their high hps low hpm heals and aoe heals. P3 is essentially a race of the healers output vs the dps. You have to burst down ozumat before either the healer runs oom, or the buff stacks get too high to be healed through. It is not uncommon to have 1 or 2 people alive at the end of P3

[optovisc]

thanks for your suggestions, I have added them to the main post.

[optovisc]

Corla:
Casts Dark Command, a fear, best to put an interrupter on it, or dispel it. Purple beams flow from the dragon above your heads to the Zealots kneeling in front of her. Use as many ranged as you can to block the beams from reaching the Zealots by standing in between the Zealots and the beams. Beams place a stacking debuff on whoever it is currently hitting. Move out of beam when you get to ~80 stacks, move out to drop stacks, move back in immediately. 100 stacks = MC player/Evolved Zealot.

The Vortex Pinnacle

Grand Vizier Ertan:
Everyone stack in the middle. Tank and spank.

Altairus:
Stay out of tornadoes. Always stay downwind. Gives haste buff.

Asaad:
Jump to avoid Static Cling. Also dispellable by Magic. Spread out (ranged) for chain lightning. When he casts a Temporary Grounding Field, get to it immediately. Supremacy of the Storms will be cast immediately after and is a one shot.

Throne of the Tides

Lady Naz'jar:
Stay out of spouts (white swirly things on the floor). At 66% and 33% she will place a shield on herself and summon three adds. Two casters and one melee. CC the casters if you can. DPS down the melee add then the casters. While she has her shield up she also summons water tornadoes. Stay out of it.

Commander Ulthok:
Places void zones on the ground infront of him which grow. Keep kiting him while maintaining high DPS on him.

Erunak Stonespeaker & Mindbender Ghur'sha:
Stay out of Earth spikes. Interrupt Lava Burst. DPS boss to 50% at which the octopus on his head will detach and MC another player. DPS the MCed player to 50% and he will pop off automatically and cast two abilities. Absorb Magic absorbs all healing done to your members and redirects the healing done to him. Purge it or spellsteal it. He also throws poison pools on the floor. Stay out of it. Rinse and repeat.

Ozumat:
Kill smallest adds. Kill small faceless mobs. Tank large faceless guardian. Once they are all down, four sappers will spawn and other adds will continue to spawn. DPSers should just focus on the four sappers. Stay out of the black pools, they place a stacking DoT on you. Once the four sappers are down you will grow large and be able to attack Ozumat. At this point it becomes a DPS race and you should blow all cooldowns. Healers will not be able to keep you up for long. Killing the adds when you are large may give you more time to kill him if you are having trouble, otherwise kite them as they are easily kitable.
