How To Use Baby Spices To Your Raid's Advantage

**CuT** · 12-26-2008

1) Gluth

The fight revolves around his ability:
Decimate - Reduce the current health of all nearby units (friendly or enemy) to 5% of their maximum health. Affects both players and zombies. Used approximately every 2 minutes.

And the Adds:
Zombie Chows have approximately 500,000 hit points each. One will spawn every ~10 seconds from the grates near where you jump out of the pipe into Gluth's lair. These move at run speed. Vulnerable to all snares and roots. Zombies run at Gluth durring decimate and heal him for 5% of his health for every one he consumes.

Why Baby Spices? http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44228
Answer: They reduce the target's size by 50%. On Gluth it is very nice because it gives you an extra 5 yards to burn down the zombies which heal him for 5% of his health each.

2) Malygos

In the first phase of the encounter Power Sparks spawn.

Power Sparks: At regular intervals throughout the encounter, a portal will appear in the empty space away from the platform, between two of the pillars, and spawn a Power Spark. This Power Spark will slowly move towards Malygos and must be killed before reaching him, otherwise Malygos will gain a temporary buff which increases all damage done by 50%. When a Power Spark is killed, it will leave a temporary patch of electricity on the ground which increases the damage dealt by those standing in it by 50% (wowwiki)

Use:
If your problem with this fight is Malygos eating the Power Sparks: the Baby Spices reduce his size, increasing the distance they have to travel and increasing the amount of time you have to kill them and save the raid!

I do not think baby spice makes the targets hit box smaller, however, so they will reach him at the same time regardless?

Go fight a mob, use baby spice, mob will move closer to you since his hit box is SMALLER.

Hitbox does in fact change if you shrink certain models. You would have to look up the specific model to see how it is affected. However making the sparks smaller doe not change the speed a which they go. Therefore they would reach their destination at the same speed.

I meant use them on Malygos if you did not catch that.

Yeah I can vouch that it makes the hit box smaller. Some of us ranged dps in our guild like using it to **** with the melee. Kinda get mad when we are trying Sarth with a few drakes up.
