Hey guys I’m Sulya and welcome to this warlords of draenor raiding guide. Today we’ll be taking a look at Flamebender Kagraz in Mythic Blackrock Foundry. This video will focus on the changes to the mythic encounter, so if you don’t know the heroic mechanics check out our guide in the annotation.
This is probably the easiest boss in mythic compared to it’s heroic counterpart. In mythic, as you can expect, everything has more health and does more damage. However the 2 encounter changes are both related to the wolves. First off the fire lines between the wolves will now empower the weapons if they touch them. So obviously you’ll want to prevent this from happening.
Second of all when the wolves spawn, 4 of them will now spawn with 3 out of the 4 fixating on random ranged players. To deal with both the mythic changes you will want to tank the Flamebender more in the middle of the room as opposed to at the forge. Secondly, whenever someone gets fixated by the wolves they should run into the melee and use a personal cooldown to reduce the damage they take from their fixated wolf.
By having all of the wolves in the middle you can AoE them down and kill them as quickly as possible. Should the overheated wolf change, you will obviously still want a tank swap, and you’ll need cooldowns for those flame breaths. When it comes to the fixated ranged players, we assign a healer to each fixated player so that they don’t die in the process. As soon as a wolf doesn’t fixate on you anymore, run out of the melee because you still have the lava slash to deal with from heroic.
At 100 energy you will now want to have all of your raid move into melee so that your AoE heals are a lot more effective. Use a raidwide cooldown to reduce the damage or increase your healing. When the flamebender reaches 100 energy, 2 players should still have the Blazing Radiance debuff. These will need to stay out of the middle until the debuff fades. This means they will require extra attention from the healers so that they don’t die from the combined damage of the debuff and firestorm.
Once the firestorm ends, of course move back into range. Other than that, everything is still the same. If you’ve killed hans and frans, this encounter should be a piece of cake.
