Koralon the Flame Watcher Strategy Guide

saedo — Fri, 06/26/2009 - 12:18

Well not technically a Coliseum boss, but a new Wintergrasp one coming in 3.2.

Abilities:

Burning Cinder: Inflicts 4388 to 4612 Fire damage to enemies within 4 yards of the Burning Cinder.
Meteor Fists: Attacks inflict damage split evenly to nearby targets within 10 yards of the primary target. Applies Meteor Fists. Duration: 15 seconds.
Meteor Fists: Inflicts 125% Fire weapon damage damage split with nearby targets.
Burning Breath: The Burning Breath inflicts 3900 to 4100 Fire damage to all targets every 1 sec for 3 sec.
Burning Fury: Increases damage dealt by 5%. Activated when Koralon is engaged and stacks every 20 seconds.

The Fight:

Tank and spank. First, cause of Burning Fury, it's a soft enrage, before fire kills everyone.

There is those Meteor Fists which split damage between all it hits in front of him, so think Mother Shahraz. You'll need multiple tanks to just stand with him to sponge off some of the damage, 2 of them should do.

Third, he'll leave patches of fire. Guess what you're supposed to do when you see them.

Kite him about the room in a circle as things spawn. Lots of raid damage, and a bit of a dps check, so just gear check mostly to kill him.

Downed him last night on 10

Downed him last night on 10 man.

FWIW, here's what we did:

1. Two tanks basically kited him around the stone floor outside circle moving (counterclockwise, but whatever) when burning cinders spawned, and took the damage of meteor fists.

2. Unless you watch your debuffs like a hawk, it's probably a good idea to dps from the stone floor on the outside of the circular chamber where Koralon stands. It was awfully hard to see if you were or were not standing in fire when you were standing on the glass floor in the center of the room.

3. Couldn't do it w/ 2 healers (of course it was a pug and the priest we were with was so-so at best, probably could do 2 heals if they were both geared / strong healers) so our set-up was 3 heals, 2 tanks, and dps.
