Warlord Blackhand is the final encounter in the Blackrock Foundry raid.

This encounter is a 3-phase fight, with transitions at 70% and 30%  At first, there seems like a lot going on in the fight, but in general its very straightforward.  It just requires more individual responsibility by all players, primarily in Phase 2, to handle the mechanics of the fight.

Abilities/Overview

Phase 1

1. Molten Slag (room mechanic) - The outside edge of the room begins to heat up causing the floor to become molten.  This will gradually grow in size towards the middle of the room, eventually forcing you to the very middle of the room.
2. Demolition - Throws his hammer at the ceiling, causing it to crash to the ground (noted by swirling brown circles), dealing mild phys dmg to players within 12 yards.
   1. Massive Demolition - this occurs during regular Demolition, this is just a larger orange circle that deals heavy damage to those nearby and leaves behind a pile of Debris (more on that below).  Damage is decreased the farther you are from imact.
3. Marked for Death - 2 random players will be marked and have a 30% run speed increase.  After 5 seconds, the boss will use Impaling Throw on them.  This ability will hit the first "object" it comes into contact with.  Marked players need to LoS this behind the Debris piles from the Massive Demolitions.  Doing this will also destroy the Debris pile.
   1. Impaling Throw - Deals moderate damage, ignores all armor and knocks the player back.  Also places a 45 sec DoT on the player that ticks every 3 seconds for mild dmg. You can see the path of this from large arrows that appear under the bosses feet.
4. Throw Slag Bombs - Throws bombs at random players (typically 3, might be more/less depending on raid size).  These will activate after 3 seconds.  If detonated, will deal moderate/heavy fire dmg to anyone within 10 yards, and leave a Slagged debuff, increasing dmg taken by 100% for 10 sec.  The Molten Slag will also detonate these.
5. Shattering Smash (tank mechanic) - deals massive phys dmg split amongst all players within 5 yards, knocks player back, removes all threat and stuns for 3 sec.  In Phase 1, tank solo this with a CD, tank swap immediately so melee doesnt die.
