I love this boss so much, the voice acting especially, so creepy and twisted. The theme is pretty cool too, and him screaming in agony throughout made me feel a little sad inside. It's a shame you can just muscle through his mechanics on lower difficulties.
You dont need to kite him. Tank in the middle and keep 2 dot classes on 2 lanes of adds. This frees up most of the room and takes care of the spread pool problem. This way there are 2 designated areas for pools when you need more stacks. Much cleaner. Also allows for dps to tunnel the boss which usually means higher dps. Gratz on the kill
The heroic version of the polearm from Spirit Kings is a viable option for Death Knights to tank with. If he hasn't had the normal sha-touched axe drop from Sha of Fear, than the polearm is his next best option.
Oh it's right there in Gen. 13:7: And lo, the flesh vat did issue a red goo, and whilst Abel tanked the boss, when Cain smiteth the goo, t'was as royal in colour; unlike any other crimson pool; Cain knew this was the devil's work, and did not walk over it; nor allow his family to walk over it; nor his enemy.
My own experience is that barrage is far more effective in pve. Glaive really doesn't do worthwhile damage unless you can line up multiple targets for it, whereas barrage is decent aoe over a wide area anytime there's a decent number of adds.
No they said it correctly. They're saying if u reach 5 stacks of the debuffs as if they were consolidated. You got the harmful version because you already had 2 crit, 1 stat, 1 mastery, and 1 haste which all add up to make 5 stacks when u count the stacks from each debuff together. So when you walked over the last puddle, it counted as a 6th stack.
This fight was nerfed. The reduce damage debuff was 75% when this guide was made, now it's only 35%. Also, most guilds now have a lot more gear and it's now possible to tank-spank and ignore all the mechanics, but this was not possible when the guide was made. With the current debuff and the average ilvl of my guild, dpsers average 100k dps while not fully mutated. So yeah, this has pretty much become the punching bag of TOT as of 5.3.
As of 5.3 it got harder as it is now 35% less dmg rather than 25% before. All other abilities are the same. If you got the dps the zerg tactic is the easiest tactic by far, we one shotted it that way, being a guild that was 2 days on tortos and a week on horridon, that says fair a bit :P.
You guys are awesome! Just one kind of stupid question... how do you zoom out so far? I play a feral druid (so the camera sits a little lower anyways) and even when I'm fully zoomed out it's much closer than that.
I think so-- I scroll back as far as I can, but I'll check the settings. I also play on a 14" laptop screen with no addons for UI, so maybe that has something to do with it... thanks!
You have the camera set at max distance? Likely the UI size also has something to do with it, mine is a bit further then this but it can be a pain been so far sometimes.
i think they design a boss before naming it, its abilites, and its buffs or debuffs. then they say oh, look, its like this from here. and BAM theres your refrence.
They have an entire video dedicated to their UI. From the look of it, they all use the same addons but have them tweaked differently. For all you lazy people: (This is just the core addons, I think they us some mods to these also) Bartender, OmniCC, Grid, KGpanels, Prat, Quartz, Sexymap, DBM
i think you said smthin wrong about the debuffs you said if for example crit reaches 5 stacks it will turn into harmful version of it but when i actually fought the boss i noticed for example i have 2 crit 1 stat 1 mastery 1 haste and i walk on the puddle i get harmful version of my random buff last time i had 1stack of mastery buff and i got hamrmful version of it that reduced my mastery by 40%
we just killed with 2 healers 1 attonement priest + shaman trying to get the transform focus on healers it is quite doable... we arent "imba" geared just some old hc pieces and ofc some ToT and lFR loot but it went quite "okay" did it cus the dps probb wouldnt make it on 3m heal.. so might make a note / edit on the vid 2-3 heal not just "3man heal that the end of it YARRR!" ^_^
i love your guides. but my guild literally just tank n spanked this and ignored the bloods. no mutation, everyone made a circled around him in the middle of the room and we stood there and spanked him for 5 minutes straight. easiest. fight. ever.

Best WoW guides on UA-cam.
Thanks a bunch!
Love this raid, every boss is so awesome :D

this looks like a really fun fight, cant wait

The UI tank is just perfect!!
Purple pools move. Kiting prevents pools from reaching him and will also stack the adds.
I love you Fatboss. You do such amazing strategy guide vids. Keep up the good work!
TellMeWhen is a great addon for just about anything including buff/cd tracking.
we 1 shotted it today.. xD first time on the boss thanks fatboss!!

Recount's raid dps meter. U can get it from normal recount addon. It also shows DTPS etc.
My own experience is that barrage is far more effective in pve. Glaive really doesn't do worthwhile damage unless you can line up multiple targets for it, whereas barrage is decent aoe over a wide area anytime there's a decent number of adds.
love all the SC references in his abilitys
Always a great guide
It's the pally talent Holy Avenger, easily the best of the 3 and makes your weapon look like the legendary Ashbringer
This guy's mutations are references to Zerg upgrades from SC2. I've come to accept now that this game is mostly references.
A boss that isn't fun O.o that's a first for ToT. Thanks for the guides guys!
Thanks, your guide got us through

You guys are so funny. These guides wouldn't be the same having two other people speak.
The music in all of your videos is always awesome. Do you listen to a pandora station or can u give me some songs or artists to look up?
I have that talent on my holy paladin, dont think I ever saw it proc the ashbringer though. never particularly paid attention to it though I suppose.
I like that phrase, "bitch healing"... as a healer I know exactly what this is... just never had a name for it.
Nice Epic kill there
nice sc2 reference here in mutation names

If you dispel someone they should keep the fully mutated debuff but lose all the positive/negative stats ones
Thanks boys; great video and a like from me as always!
Could a strategy for purple pools be intentionally absorbing them (by a healer) and then dispelling themselves (to get around them moving around)?
Go fatboss!! keep it up!!
IDK what the one for holy power is but try Magic Runes for the DK runes.
Just a quick question for Nimtaz. What exactly caused ur sword to look like Ashbringer? From like 1:20-1:35 ur sword looked like Ashbringer.
I've yet to check but I'd be surprised if you're incorrect.
can i get your guys pally UI addons, and the damage meters, also your hunters target health bars please and thank you guys for the guides
I think so-- I scroll back as far as I can, but I'll check the settings. I also play on a 14" laptop screen with no addons for UI, so maybe that has something to do with it... thanks!

Thank u for the guide guys :)
On the hunter's UI: I am assuming on the unit frames that the light blue bar is a shield bar. What add-on is this?
i think they design a boss before naming it, its abilites, and its buffs or debuffs. then they say oh, look, its like this from here. and BAM theres your refrence.
pretty sure they did a vid on it and you can download it

What Evil said, "Crazy badass thing" = Saurok =)
What add-on is that putting your debuffs on top of the mobs health bars? Looks handy for my lock?
I notice you are using barrage on your hunter, is there a reason for that or is it cause you like it more, I personally like toss more
Twothirds - Waking Dreams (Feat. Laura Brehm) - the DnB version.
Why is Chrisbehk using an Agi-polearm? I though agility was bad for DK's
What is the raid-frame addon that Nimtaz is using? Im a healer and it looks like it would fit my healing style well.
3:19 Slenderman, is that you?
someone please tell me what the threat, damage, and healing addon that nimtaz is using....
Ahh, I see
Thanks!
What is the addon that you get dps and healing recount next to eachother
It's always monstercat productions. Look them up at youtube under monstercat.
good music again
Waking Dreams (feat. Laura Brehm) by twothirds
what is the addon which shows enemy plates with debuffs?
How you do the countdown like that? Like the bg one.
Anyone get the Starcraft 2 references?
Ventral sacs, Metabolic boost, Pathogen glands......
Does the boss heal from the red pools as well as the purple ones?
GO FATBOSS
Glaive toss uses more gcd's, Barrage got buffed.
Your up early, getting ready for ToTHC?
what mods is the hunter using? they look incredibly helpful
y di dhtey steal all the zerg upgrades for his abilities?
so many of the mutations are named after zerg upgrades
@FatbossTV can the adds be slowed?
How do you get the Raid DPS with your recount?
whats that graph addon the hunter uses?
What addons does the hunter have? like al the addons please respond
Ui from the paladin tank please?
mass dispell only removes harmful buffs so a priest should get rid of debuffs
Tidyplates, preferably with threatplates.
The idea is then to make your nontanking tank soak the pools.
what ui replacer is johnprescott using?
What's the UI and more importantly, name of the song?
deadly boss mods i belive
Where do you get your tunes?
/dbm pull10. The number are the secs
UI from the hunter please????
What music do you guys play?
why should healers be mutated?
this boss is easy, tank kite boss, dps drop adds untill healers get morphed then they morph them selves asap, hero burn. killed on 2nd pull
he also sounds like golem
Why does he only have SC2 uppgrades? O.O
Because they made the games?
i love your guides. but my guild literally just tank n spanked this and ignored the bloods. no mutation, everyone made a circled around him in the middle of the room and we stood there and spanked him for 5 minutes straight. easiest. fight. ever.
looks like a Saurok to me ... Maybe i'm mistaken .
Whats the name of the song?
l 2 max camera distance
Whats the song at 01:05?
around 3 ;18 I thought my computer was breaking
What's the song?
Because Then they can gain the 5 Helpful bonus stacks :)
360p. plays 10 secs stops to buffer for 10 secs, yeah my computer is amazing.
That's the default raid frames.
The lizards things are sauroks
