How to kill Kalecgos.

[Drako]

Hi,
I find bosskillers and other sites' strategies lacking, so I'll post my own.

1. Basic explanation

This is how I will call things.

1. Dragon Realm - the "real" realm, where you face the big Dragon.
2. The Demon Realm - A place you are teleported to. There is a human-form Kalecgos and a Demon.
3. The Dragon - As there are two Kalecgoses in this fight, the Dragon will be called "The Dragon".
4. Kalecgos - This will be the human Kalecgos you face in The Demon Realm.
5. The Demon - This is a demon you face in The Demon Realm.

The fight begins as the raid runs on to the platform where the Dragon is at. 6 seconds later, there will appear invisible walls around the platform, so your raid must enter quickly after the tank (we usually mount up).

The demon will put a random debuff on a random player, increasing or decreasing various things, there is nothing you can do about it but to just live with it.

Once in 30 or so seconds the Demon will teleport a random player into The Demon Realm, you will stay there for 1 minute and then you will be teleported back. The teleport will cause 5k damage to everyone within 5 yards of the player, so you should try to be a bit spread. Where the player stood, will be a teleport anyone can click to enter The Demon Realm (it lasts for 10 sec). In the Demon Realm you will face The Demon and Kalecgos. There must be a tank taunting The Demon, or Kalecgos will die and the fight will be over.

Both Dragon and The Demon must die at the same time (20sec gap between each other). First must die The Demon, or after Dragon's death he will Banish himself, turning invulnerable. At 10% both of them enrage, causing MASSIVE damage.

The Dragon does an arcane AoE damage to everyone in The Dragon Realm which increases Arcane Damage taken by 500. This stacking too high can kill you. He also does a cone attack, and he as a proper dragon also has Tail Swipe, so you don't want to be neither in front or behind him.

The Demon does a curse, that ticks higher with each second. When you dispel it, it jumps to another player and starts ticking from the beginning. It is NOT removed when you are teleported back, but it stops jumping, so you just dispel it. The Demon also does a Shadow Volley, which you must heal through. On his current target he will also do HUGE damage spike, which healers must be prepared for.

Exact strategy will be posted a bit later.

2. Tanking positions.


You must tank the dragon so noone gets hit by the tail or by the cone attack.

3. Group assignments and portals
There are 5 groups in the raid. One of them is tank group, and one is melee group, and others are combined groups with casters and at least 1 healer.
When anyone from the group gets teleported, the other members of the group must run to the portal and enter it too. There, DPSers must DPS and healers must heal.

The tank group is special. First of all, tanks have a different rotation.
Tank 1 should enter portal 1, Tank 2 should enter portal 3, Tank 3 should enter portal 5 and so on. Portals appear every 30 seconds and you are in the realm for 60 seconds, so a new tank should appear when the old one gets ported back. When a tank is ported back from The Demon Realm, he should immediately taunt the Dragon, because of the arcane damage debuffs stacking too high on the previous tank can kill him.

Anyone who is in the tank group (excluding the tanks) must enter a portal whenever they can, to help out people.

This is our usual group setup
Group 1 - Tank 1, Tank 2, Tank 3, Resto Shaman, Warlock
Group 2 - Melee DPS, Melee DPS, Melee DPS, Melee DPS, A healer
Group 3 - Caster, Caster, Caster, Healer, Healer
Group 4 - Caster, Caster, Caster, Healer, Healer
Group 5 - Caster, Caster, Caster, Healer, Healer

Every group must have a decurser for the Curse.
4. Execution
Everyone must be fast on clicking the portal, it only lasts for 10 seconds and it has a global cooldown, which means a player can only enter it once every 1.5 seconds, so you must be fast. You must make sure the tank gets in, else Kalecgos will die.

Tanks in Demon Realm and in the Dragon Realm will take HUGE damage, which healers must be prepared for. The Dragon and The Demon are very tough, and The Demon can do very nasty burst. I suggest tanks using Ironshield potions (Ironshield Potion - Items - World of Warcraft) on cooldown.
When the first tank enters the portal, he should wait for a healer to come too, don't taunt before you are sure people are ready to heal you.

DPSers should use all their cooldowns in The Demon Realm, as you can't pull aggro there. Dispellers must dispel the curse every 15 seconds (that is when it starts ticking for too much). When someone is ported back to The Dragon Realm with the curse, just dispel it - it won't jump anymore.

When you are ported back, you receive a 1 minute debuff that forbids you entering The Demon Realm. This way people rotate, losing the arcane debuffs which The Dragon applies.










---- Don't hope on doing this encounter if you're not T6-ish geared. It is a very challenging encounter, especially for healers. Everyone must always be aware of the portals, and enter them at the right time, especially the tanks. It is also very easy to wipe at the last 10%, because both the Dragon and the Demon go enraged. I would suggest having a warrior tank using Shield Wall The Dragon at the last 10%.

Ask if anything is unclear. I know the strategy is a bit of a mess, but I can't really put it more simple.
