Magmaw
Generally an easy fight if executed correctly.
Abilities
Mangle - Deals around 11-13k dmg every 5 seconds. Used on current tank.
Magma Spit - Inflicts 40-50k Fire damage at enemy target when no one is in melee range. Triggers Molten Tantrum
Molten Tantrum - When no one is in melee range to attack, Magmaw goes into a frenzy increasing Fire damage done by 100%, stacks 10 times
Lava Spew - Deals 30-35k Fire damage per second for three seconds to all players
Parasitic Infection - Deals 12-14k damage every 21 seconds and causes Infectious Vomit.
Invectious Vomit - Deals 40k damage to all allies within 8 yards and spawns Lava Parasites.
Ignition - Ignites the ground causing 23-27k Fire damage per second
Pillar of Flame - Throws boiling magma at an enemy, hitting them for 25k damage and sundering the ground. After a few seconds 120-135k fire damage explodes out of the sundered ground and spawns parasites.
Strategy
This boss has two phases which can be looked at as a survival phase and a burn phase. The fight starts off with a survival phase. This is a two tank fight with tanks swapping after every burn phase. The starting tank will start towards the right side of the room and melee will be positioned towards the left side of the room. Have your ranged and healers spread out around the center of the room, we generally use this spread method due to graphics and animations usually covering up pillar of flame areas.
1. Pull Magmaw with your melee stacked ont he left side of magma and your tank on the right side of Magmaw.
2. This raid is heavy raid healing during the survival phase but little to no healing during the burn phase (When Magmaw is chained to the spike) Healers may benefit from using Potions that restore more mana but leave you vulnerable to attack during this phase, over a traditional mythical mana potion.
3. During the survival phase, make sure to run away from pillar of flames, they will explode and usually kill anyone standing in it. After it explodes, larva parasites will spawn. The deal with these little maggots is to kill them without getting hit by them because when you get hit you spawn more. DO NOT HAVE A TANK FOR THESE! Make sure these are slowed and have your raid AOE these, it generally isnt safe for melee to get into melee range to aoe these right off the bat, so wait till ranged or someone else grabs aggro before going in to hit these.
4. Before Magmaw lunges forward to initiate the burn phase he mangles the tank and picks him up causing heavy damage to the current tank, this tank needs to use cooldowns and needs to be spamhealed to survive. Magmaw also covers half the room in flame around this time so stick around the center of the room to avoid it by moving to the left or to the right of the fire.
5. Before the burn phase Magmaw will lunge forward which allows 2 players to mount him and hook him down to initiate the burn phase. Assign 2 players to mount him. While mounted you are able to use one ability which throws a chain on a spike. The 2 players mounted on Magmaw must coordinate the chain so they both hit it around the same time. If not executed right Magmaw will break free.
6. After your 2 players execute the chain successfully, Magmaw will slump forward and be chained to the ground, taking increased damage. This is generally the best time to use bloodlust/timewarp/cooldowns to maximize damage output. Healers may also want to use Mana potions that restore mana but makes you vulnerable to attack, due to those type of potions restoring more mana than instant mana pots, there will be zero healing needed to be done during this phase if add control is executed correctly.
7. After every burn phase have your tanks swap so their cooldowns are up for the Mangle and its just rinse and repeat from there.
Tips:
- stay around the center of the room before the fire comes so you have enough time to get out of the way if it fills the left or right side of the room
- use slows to prevent lava parasites from reaching their targets and spawning more adds
- Potion of Concentration are a healers best friend during this fight. If you feel you are having trouble with mana, use a Potion of Concentration during the burn phase. Nobody needs to be healed during that phase and it restores 22000 mana over 10 seconds
- the object you need to target with your chains while mounted on Magmaw is the spike on the ground directly in front of him, not the chains hanging from the ceiling
Generally an easy fight if executed correctly.
