3. Razorscale

Razorscale is the third boss encounter in Ulduar. It is an Ironbound proto-drake that flies over the Razorscale's Aerie, across from the Colossal Forge.


Abilities

Wing Buffet - Knocks back players in a 35 yards radius around the caster. 1.5 cast.

Flame Breath - Inflicts 17500 to 22500 Fire damage to players in a cone in front of the caster. 2.5 cast.

Flame Buffet - Increases the Fire damage a player takes by 1500 for 1 min.

Devouring Flame - Spits a Lava Bomb at a player, inflicting 8788 to 10212 Fire damage and deals 8788 to 10212 Fire damage every second to anyone staying within 6 yards of the explosion. This effect lasts for 25 secs.

This boss fight consists of both an air phase and a ground phase. Talking to the Expedition Commander will begin the event with Razorscale in her air phase.
Strategy

The air phase consists of defending the Expedition dwarves while they repair the harpoon turrets. During this phase, the focus should be on defeating adds, and staying out of Devouring Flame. DPS on the boss is possible during this phase but only serves to shorten the boss fight slightly, and only if you can spare a DPS member or two. As the turrets get repaired one at a time, they can be clicked to fire a harpoon at Razorscale. Once all four turrets have been repaired and fired, Razorscale will be forced to the ground where she will remain stunned for several seconds, during which time DPS should focus on bringing her HP down as much as possible. After the stun wears off, Razorscale will return to the air and begin the air phase again.

Once Razorscale is brought to 50% health, she will land permanently, at which point she will need to be tanked facing away from the group to avoid breaths. The fight from this point is very simple, she will continue using Devouring Flame, she will do a knock back to everyone within 35 yards, and inflict the Flame Buffet debuff. During this ground phase, the DPS should go all out in order to defeat Razorscale before the Flame Buffet debuffs cause the tank to be one-shot.

This fight was really bugged on ptr so not too much is known. Gonna reserve a couple of posts to put more up about the adds phase if and when I can find it.

Reserved yo.

When we did it on the ptr, it wasent bugged as sutch, everyone got kicked out apart from me, so i pulled, and stil managed to gather what was happening xD He started to shoot me from the air, and those mole machines came up, he dident hit too hard, and if the adds dont hit too hard either i dont think healing will be too much of a problem in phase 1

Heroic: Iron Dwarf, Medium Rare

The counter seems to go up even if you fully wipe. This means we could get this easymode. I suggest we do it like this fast b4 Blizz thinks they should nerf it to one go.

Agreed. would rather get it done soon and not have to deal with it later, when we have less time to get proper hard modes done, especially if blizz decide to be funny and fix it or somet.

So just nuke sentinels and keep tanking the smaller adds, then kill them with the breath? Of kill th caster adds too and use the melée ones?

Casters don't count for the achievement, just the guardians. So yup, you kill the Watchers and Sentinels, gather up the Guardians in front of Razorscale when she lands, get them down to ~10% so they die from Razorscale's Flamebreath thingy. When done properly (on normal we wasted a few guardians figuring it out) i don't see why we'd have to wipe, really. Just gonna be closer to the enrage timer.

No dps-ing Razorscale below ~70% untill the dwarfs are cooked, then normal kill from that point on.
