A really big worm in Blackwing Descent.
How's it work?
Two phases. Normal phase where he's attacking the tank and using abilities. Burn phase where he's stunned and taking 100% increased damage.
What the hell does it do?
- Pillar of Flame. Big fire ball. Fire ball hurts. Does and AoE damage and knockback after a few seconds, and also spawns Lava Parasites.
- Ignition. Half the room's floor becomes covered in fire. Magmaw will also slump down on this area, doing massive damage to anyone there.
- Mangle. Magmaw eats the tank.
- Sweltering Armor. 50% armor reduction on the eaten tank after he's spit out.
- Molten Tantrum. Raid wiping ability if no one is within melee range of Magmaw.
- Infectious Vomit. Caused if someone gets a Lava Parasite, which will happen if a player gets within 8 yards of one. It spawns more parasites. They reproduce like bunnies.
What the hell do I do?
Everyone: Stay away from the Lava Parasites. Avoid the half of the room that is affected by Ignition. Run away from the Pillar of Flame.
Tanks: Turn Magmaw so that the melee can stay in a group and be relatively behind the boss opposite from you. Use defensive cooldowns when he eats you.
All Ranged Players: Stay in a tight group some distance away from Magmaw. Move together to make getting away from the Pillar of Flame easier.
Healers: Expect extra healing to be necessary on the tank during the Mangle. Try to regenerate mana during the Burn phases. You'll need it.
Melee DPS: Do not try to kill the Lava Parasites. Use DPS cooldowns during the Burn phases. Two of you will be assigned to chain Magmaw to initiate the Burn phase. You click on Magmaw's head, which acts like a vehicle. Use the chain ability and target the large spike. Both of you must do it near the same time, or one chain will break. Do this as quickly as you possibly can. The longer you take, the longer the tank will be taking Mangle damage, which is immense.
Ranged DPS: Slow, kite, and kill the Lava Parasites. Use DPS cooldowns during the Burn phases.
