Alysrazor 10 man Healing and Strategy Guide

Aug 2, 2011 by Gina

Welcome to Firelands – Alysrazor Edition!

Remember when us healers got to fly around in the air and go through rings on Volithria in ICC? Yeah DPS stole that job from us now…  

Alysrazor is one of the first 5 bosses in Firelands and the last required to open up the bridge to Majordomo. This bird is pretty much airborn most of the fight and you’ll be splitting up into teams again to get it down in this fight.

Basic Concept

• 1 fire birdy boss
• 3 phases
• 2 tanks required
• 3 healers
• need raid awareness, it’s more a movement and mechanic fight than anything else
• 2 lucky dps get to FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and dps boss in the air
• MOVEMENT MOVEMENT MOVEMENT
• INTERRUPTINETTERRUPFUCKINGINTERRUPT

Boss = Alysrazor

• 51.5M health
• She’ll be airborn for all but p3
• Most damage to boss will come from p3
• Air Team will dps her while flying

Add = Hatchlings

• Voracious Hatchlings
• phase 1 only
• 20M health in 10-man difficulty
• 2 will spawn, each will be tanked
• Puts Imprinted on the tank who will do 1,000% additional damage against the hatchling.
• tank will needs to be drag add to  Plump Lava Worms when they get Hungry, otherwise the hatchling will Tantrum and cause lots of pain on your tank
• Healers be aware of Gushing Wound The Voracious Hatchling strikes all targets within a 10 yard 60 degree cone, causing them to bleed for 3,000 Physical damage every 0.2 seconds for 1 min. or until the target’s health falls below 50% of their maximum health.

Add = worms

• 4 Plump Lava Worms spawn
• phase 1 only
• Untankable and unkillable
• Lava Spew spew a molten cone of fire, dealing 40k damage every 1 sec to all enemies within a 18 yard 35 degree cone. Stay the hell out of it
• Tank will drag his hatchling over when it gets hungry, this will consume the worm
• When all 4 worms have been eaten, 4 more will spawn

Encounter Strategy

Overall, this fight is all about positioning and staying out of stuff that hurts. It’s an execution fight with multiple phases that once you master them will then be easy.

What you ALL need to know:

• don’t stand in the center of the arena, boss will sometimes fly down and cleave everyone there
• see worms breathing fire? DONT GET HIT BY IT!
• see feathers on the ground? DONT CLICK 3 OF THE UNLESS YOU ARE AIR TEAM
• is your air team flying? EVERYONE should have 1 feather buff
• 1 feather = casting while moving and speed buff
• 3 feathers = flying (AIR TEAM ONLY)
• Interrupting dps on initiates? dont miss it!  ;-)
• phase 2 is all about movement and super easy, really, trust me
• phase 3  EVERYONE DPS ZE BOSS, then group up for aoe healz

Suggested Healing Assignments

• 1 healer on each tank (if holy paladin, use bacon on your tank and heal for tower of radiance yumminess)
• 1 raid healer

How to Handle Phase 1

• See the Skull?  That’s the boss, 2 dpsers following in the air AIR TEAM
• See the X’s?  That’s where the hatchlings spawn, will be tanked
• See the Circle + Bad?  Those are worms, don’t get spewed on ;-)
• See the healer marks?  Those are safe spots
• See the Stars?  Those are where the initiates spawn, interrupter be ready!
• See #1? That’s where the first initiate will spawn
• See #2? That’s where the second initiate will spawn

 

ALL of you raiders

Step 1 – left group #1 (1 tank, 1 healer, 1 interrupter) move left!
Step 2 – right group #2 (1 tank, 1 healer, 1 interrupter) move right!
Step 3 – STAY OUT OF THE CENTER
Step 4 – lucky air team (2 lucky dps) grab your 3 feathers each
Step 4 – extra raid healer floats around healing stuff in p1, or if a disco priest pewpew adds

 

the healers

Step 1 – bacon your tank
Step 2 – heal your tank & when adds pop focus them and use this power aura to pre-cast for when they get hungry and cause ouchy on your tank. Make the Hatchling your focus, import this power aura:

Version:4.21; icon:Spell_Misc_EmotionSad; buffname:Hungry; x:-342; focus:true; owntex:true; sound:21; y:-248

Step 3 – don’t stand in fire spewing from the stupid worms
Step 4 – heal nubs who stand in stuff
Step 5 – dispel  the fire magic debuff if interrupt is missed on add
Step 6 –  pick up at least 1 feather once your air team is in the air
Step 7 – squeeee in gleee as you can cast while moving ;-)

NOTE: Healers be aware of Gushing Wound The Voracious Hatchling strikes all targets within a 10 yard 60 degree cone, causing them to bleed for 3,000 Physical damage every 0.2 seconds for 1 min. or until the target’s health falls below 50% of their maximum health.

 

the AIR TEAM

Step 1 – pick up 3 feathers
Step 2 - tell your raid that you are in the air
Step 3 – fly!
Step 4 – follow boss, go through rings, avoid clouds, and pewpew boss for big pretty numbahs
Step 5 – Falling down? use levitate or slow fall nubs

 

the Interrupting DPS

Step 1 – see add spawn? dps it and interrupt it
Step 2 - don’t stand in poo
Step 3 – grab 1 feather before p2

 

the Tanks

Step 1 – grab the hatchling
Step 2 – drag add to  Plump Lava Worms when they get Hungry, otherwise the hatchling will Tantrum (use cooldown if so)
Step 3 – kill hatchling with your gazlillion dps buff
Step 4 – grab 1 feather before p2

 

Holy Paladin Tips for this phase:

• Use Divine Protection on cooldown for movement and damage mitigation if worms are nearby and spewing on you (that just sounds dirty)

Now what?
