MC Boss , 2 – Magmadar

What does Magmadar do?

  • Fire AE – Magmadar has a cone shaped AE. This does not do much damage.
  • Fire spit – Magmadar spits out fire pits at random people throughout the fight. The fire stays on the ground for sometime. Everyone must run out of the fire because it will put a nasty dot on you.
  • Magma Spit – Small damage on melee, but prevents bandaging.
  • AE Fear – Every 30 seconds Magmadar will fear everyone within a 30 yeard range.
  • Frenzy – Magmadar will go “into a killing frenzy” and does much more melee DPS to the tank. Hunters can counter this frenzy by firing a tranquilizing shot (that drops from Lucifron).

Group Setup

  • Group 1: Warrior (MT), Paladin, Priest, Warlock, Druid. Group 1 warrior is the MT.
  • Group 2: Warrior (BMT), Paladin, Priest, Mage, Druid. Group 2 warrior is the backup MT.
  • Group 3-8: Each group should have a mage and a paladin / priest.

Positioning & Pull

  • The MT and BMT are positioned in the centre of the room. And faces Magmadar towards the raid.
  • Healers, hunters and casters are at maximum range from the MT. This ensures they won’t get feared during the AE feared, or allows them to step back out of fear range when it is called.
  • Other melee begin in front of Magmadar, but run toward the back when DPS is called.

The Fight

  • When DPS is called, all ranged DPS on Mags.
  • Melee run in and DPS. Run out when AE Fear is called. Bandage where possible (as you will not receive heals from the healers).
  • Whenever Mags goes into a frenzy, the Hunters take turns on a rotation basis (as some Tranq shots miss, and others will be on cooldown).
