Title: Buru the Gorger
Post by: Bastet on March 02, 2006, 04:19:26 PM
Buru the Gorger is the 4th boss of AQ

Ability's:
-Eggs - When an egg is destroyed, it deals 100-500 damage to players based on their proximity to the egg. It also damages Buru the Gorger for 45000. A Hive Zara Hatchling will spawn from a broken egg.
-Dismember - A bleed effect that does 1248 damage every 2 second. Buru will use this if he catches up to whoever he is targeting.
-Creeping Plague - Creeping Plague is activated when Buru the Gorger has less than 20% life. This debuff hits everyone in the raid. It deals 80 damage per tick and continuously stacks up every 3 ticks. When Buru is destroyed, the debuff fades from everyone.

Strategy:
This boss looks like a giant tick... He cannot be tanked during stage 1.

This fight requires the raid to be divided into two groups. One to kill the broodlings, and one to kill the eggs.

When the raid is ready to begin everyone should start damaging the egg closest to the raid. Get the egg to 5% and wait till Buru is directly over the egg. Then destroy the egg, this will damage him.

An emote will say "...and put his eyes on X", and he will chase down that person (X). The person being chased needs to kite him around the area by running on land as much as possible and not in the water. Keep kiting him till the raid has the next egg ready to be destroyed. Healers must heal the kiting player during the kiting.

When a eggs is destroyed a broodling will usually pop out. Again, half the raid should focus on killing the broodlings, until they are dead, then assist in killing the eggs. When one egg is destroyed (again only when Buru is over the egg), the group killing the eggs needs to move to the next egg in a clockwise fashion. This will conitnue till he reaches 20% where his shell will explode off exposing his brains. This will trun him into a more traditonal boss which can be dpsed down... And DPS him down you must.

He now will do a debuff to everyone which does massive damage. You have more or less 30 seconds to kill him or it will be a wipe. All healers must be dpsing as well as much as possible.
