Title: Abomination Wing 4: Thaddius
Post by: Bastet on August 15, 2006, 09:01:36 AM
Abilities:
Stalagg: Has a thunderclap ability.
Feugen: Has an aoe mana drain ability and a War Stomp aoe that deals about 1500 to everyone in melee range.
Both sub-bosses initially stand near lightning rods. If the sub-boss is pulled away from these rods, they will chain-lightning the raid.
Every 30 seconds he will charge the entire raid either positively or negatively, and will show up appropriately as debuff icons. Every 5 seconds charged players will deal approximately 2000 nature damage to all opposite-charged players within 10 yards. Additionally, it will grant a 10% damage bonus to all same-charged players within that same range. Thaddius also has a chain lightning attack that he will do throughout the fight. After 5 minutes in phase 2, he will enrage and kill the entire raid, much like the Twin Emperors do.
 
Strategy:
Healing: Thaddius doesn't deal very much melee damage to the main tank, so using only 3-4 healers for him. The rest of the healers can either heal the rest of the raid, or deal damage to Thaddius in this phase.
Tanking: Because of the increased damage players will be doing (up to 3x damage), along with the decreased rage from being hit since Thaddius doesn't deal very much damage, it may be advisable to use a bear spec'd druid to tank Thaddius because their threat generation is greater, and based on a damage multiplier, vs a warrior's threat which is damage+static threat bonus (which won't benefit from Thaddius' damage multiplier).
