Halfus Wyrmbreaker
saedo — Mon, 12/06/2010 - 14:22
Warning, it's undergone several revisions on beta so unsure what we'll see on live yet.
Abilities:
Halfus Wyrmbreaker
- Bind Will - Forces a dragon to obey his commands
- Dragon's Vengeance - Halfus takes 50% increased damage from all sources, stacks
Proto-Behemoth
- Fireball Barrage - Does 30K fire damage to enemies in an area
Notes:
- The fight centers around drakes giving abilities, and of the 5 drakes, 3 are active per week
- Random, so each week you'd have a new combination with new challenges to the fight
- You get a choice of which drakes to release, and subsequently kill.
- Each drake tends to give a raid wide debuff and or buff to Halfus
- When killed, they go away or lose some effectiveness or you gain some buff
- Also, when each are killed, they give Halfus stacking 50% damage taken debuff
- The Proto-Behemoth is just flying raid damage, not worth killing
- Constantly casts fireballs, spread out until you can kill the Time Warden (if up), after which you they slow down enough to see where they land to dodge
- Other than Drakes, tank and spank
- At 30%, he goes into constant whirlwind mode. Random target but tauntable for a while. Ranged burn asap. Slate Dragon stuns still apply to him.
The Drakes
Nether Scion
- Applies 100% attack speed buff to Halfus, gone when killed
- Gives raid-wide debuff reducing hit by 15%, attack speed by 15%, and damage by 25%, lasts till killed, applied on Halfus then (confirm?)
Time Warden
- When killed, slows down the speed of Proto-Behemoth's fireballs, allowing them to be dodged easily.
- Heroic version roots everyone in place when controlled (maybe normal?)
Slate Dragon
- Gives Halfus, Malevolent Strikes - Reduces effectiveness of healing on target by 5%, stacks
- Furious Roar - Inflicts 10K physical damage to all enemies knocking them to the ground, 1.5 sec cast every 8-10 seconds, and should reduce damage taken by 100% for duration (confirm?)
- When stuns fades, Halfus recieves the stun and gets increased damage taken, for rest of the fight when killed
Orphaned Emerald Whelps
- Gives the Proto-Behemoth, Scorching Breath - Breaths flame in front of caster doing 9K fire damage
- Raid wide debuff reducing all damage done by 2000.
Storm Rider
- Raid wide debuff that interrupts spell casts every 0.5 seconds (use instants only).
- Gives Shadow Nova buff to Halfus, allows him to cast aoe knockback, 0.3 second cast, interruptable
- When killed, cast goes up to 4.5 second


Gonna steal this info from
saedo — Wed, 02/02/2011 - 12:55Gonna steal this info from MMO for archiving. Drakes not random, they are cycled in this order.
US Drakes by Week
P.S. At week 9 at time of this posting.
I like the variable fight.
Lilpuddinpop — Mon, 12/06/2010 - 16:48But I am not looking forward to storm rider and slate dragon at the same time.
Instacasts only. Yipes. Did someone say aff lock/spriest/hunter?
