Elf-Bashing is Fun!

Last night CD took down Leotheras the Blind for the second time:



Again, Ulushnar was Main Tank for the kill. I had originally intended to let one of Cd's other tanks take him this time, but both the Prot Warriors declined for one simple reason: The Inner Demon.

After about 45 seconds, Leotheras turns into a Demon for 60 Seconds. During this time, the Demon's tanked by a Warlock, but he also summons the Inner Demons of five members of the raid. These Inner Demons have to be killed by the afflicted Raid member solo, or the player will become mind controlled and will have to be killed by the rest of the raid.

It's hard enough for a Prot-Specced warrior to take down his inner Demon in DPS gear, and it seems it's impossible for ours to do it in Tanking gear. Luckily for Ulu, the Demons take extra damage from Holy spells, so all Ulu had to do was slap on his Boss Threat set and he had no problem tanking the boss or killing the demon.

The rest is a fairly simple rhythm fight. Whilst he's in elf form, he needs to be picked up quickly with Avenger's Shield and/or Judgement of Righteousness. He's a Dual-wielder, and doesn't hit too hard, but things are complicated by the 2.5k/tick DoT he puts on anyone he hits when he Whirlwinds (every 15 secs during the Elf phase).

Once he goes Demon, just nuke him hard, unless you have an inner demon to kill. At 15% health, he splits from his Demon. At that point the Warlock picks up the Demon and we just finish off the Elf quickly.

On Tuesday, we're gonna make our first attempts on Morgrim Tidewalker. Should be interesting...
