How to: Noth the Plaguebringer for dummies guide (2,500,000 Hit points normal/ 8,440,000 Hit Points heroic).Noth encounter is a basic tank and spank encounter with additional Adds phase and emphasis on decursing.Noth the Plaguebringer main abilities are:Curse of the Plaguebringer: Randomly curses 10 players. The curse itself has no effect, but if it's not decursed within 10 seconds they will activate Wrath of the Plaguebringer.Wrath of the Plaguebringer (30 Yards AOE): This effect will take place when failing to Decurse Curse of the Plaguebringer off a player. This causes a moderate (about 5K) damage initially, and about 2K more every 2 seconds, which Will probably cause a wipe if your healers aren't really well geared. Bink (25 secs CD): Like the mage spell, Noth the Plaguebringer will blink a short distance. This will wipe all aggro so DPS should take notice and let the tank gain aggro when necessary. When he casts Blink he will also cast Cripple on Raid members around him Cripple (Dispelable) This will be cast on all raid members around Noth when blinks, reducing movement speed and strength by 50% and melee attack speed by 100% so this must be dispelled off the tank ASA he blink, to make sure he can make new aggro. Summon Plague Warriors (30 secs CD) Noth will summon Plague warriors. They will rise from the bone piles on the room, and are melee attackers. They should've be a big problem as long as OT (or two) pick them up. They can be easily AOEd Down. They can cleave. Teleportation Phase: Every 110 seconds Noth will teleport himself to the balcony (which will prevent any DPS on him for the phase, he can't be targeted there) and will summon adds on the group bellow. Those adds have AOE capabilities, but aren't that dangerous and should not phase too many problems. They will also spawn at the stone piles around the room. Every time he repeats this phase the adds grow stronger, and after 3 phases like this Noth will enrage and will wipe the raid. Noth the Plaguebringer Encounter strategy:1. Tank Pulls Noth, OTs on standby to pick adds form big piles of stone.2. When blink quickly dispel cripple effect from Tank and other melee, DPS should be aware to let tank grab back aggro 3. When mass cursing the raid all decurse classes (including DPS) remove the curses. An addon such a "Decurse" addon will greatly help here. If this is played in 10 man version and and you have no decursers in raid, players with the curse should be alert and immediately run more then 30 yards away from the rest of the raid to avoid AOE damage. 4. when balcony phase is about to start OTs take pick up the adds and those are killed. 5. Back to step 2 when phase is over. Differences between 10 (normal) and 25 man (heroic) version:There aren't any.Tips and Additions:• It is possible to tank him with his face to the wall so that his blink will keep him close to the tank, though it's not mandatory since he doesn't blink that farGood Luck! |
