Hey guys I’m Sulya from WoW Weekly and today we’ll be taking a look at Kilrogg Deadeye in Heroic Hellfire Citadel. These tactics also apply to the normal version.
To start off, various abilities in this encounter will give you Fel Corruption. If this reaches 100 you will become mind controlled by the Burning Legion! However when you do have Fel Corruption, this will slowly decrease over time.
Kilrogg uses Shred Armor on the tank, increasing their damage taken by 40% per stack. However this will not apply if the tank uses Active Mitigation when Shred Armor is applied. So you’ll of course want to do so.
You’ll be dealing with a bunch of different adds, causing you to split up your group into the left side and right side. But before we get to that, Kilrogg also uses the Heart Seeker ability on a random player. You’ll see a big red arrow in the direction that he will throw it. If you get targeted by this you’ll want to move to the back, in the middle between the two groups. This is because this ability will also hit anyone else in the path of the seeker.
When Heart Seeker hits you, it will put a bleeding dot on you and it will spawn a Globule. This globule will start moving towards Kilrogg and needs to be killed. Should the Globule reach Kilrog it will deal AoE damage to the entire raid. This is where being in the middle helps, because not only will you avoid it hitting someone else, both groups will be able to reach the Globule and dps it down.
Killrogg’s last ability is Death Throes. This is a raid wide AoE that will deal less damage the further away you are from him. Not only that but he will also throw balls of fel goo, which you can dodge by not standing in the swirls. The damage of Death Throes will increase by 12% each time he uses it.
At the same time, splitting the group serves another purpose. Salivating Bloodthirster orcs will spawn at the left, right and at the back in the middle. These will run to the pools in the front of the room. The orcs need to be killed off before they reach it because if they do, they will turn into Hulking Terrors. The orcs can and should be slowed.
Once in a while you will get a Hulking Terror spawn nonetheless. Have one tank pick it up and all your dps switch to it when the other adds aren’t up. The Terror needs to be tanked facing away from the rest of the raid due to it’s conal Savage Strikes attack. It will also cast Rending Howl, which needs to be interrupted as it’s another AoE damage spell. Each time you interrupt it the casting speed will increase by 50%. When the Terror dies it will explode dealing damage to anyone within 10 yards.
Kilrogg’s eye will also open 3 runes near Kilrogg. When a player stands on one each it’ll teleport them to an alternate realm. Here you’ll have to kill as many adds as you can before you reach 1 health. The imps will cast Fel Blaze, if this finishes this will put you at 1 health instantly. The fiends explode on death and mistresses breath fire in the direction they’re standing. You will want to avoid each of these threats to prolong your time in the alternate realm.
Once you reach 1 health you’ll be teleported back into the regular encounter and you’ll have a buff increasing your damage or healing depending on how many adds you killed. This will allow dps to kill adds much more quickly and healers will also gain an aura that will reduce Fel Corruption from those that they stand close to. If your tanks are getting high on Fel Corruption you’ll want your healer to stand in melee so that their corruption can be lowered.
You will also receive a debuff preventing you from entering the next alternate realm. This means you’ll need 2 groups to go into the alternate realm. If not all the runes are taken you do not get teleported and Kilrogg will deal damage to the entire raid instead.
This isn’t an overly complicated fight. Split the raid into 2 groups: left and right. When you get targeted by Heart Seeker move to the back of the room. Kill all adds and interrupt the howl from the Terror. Dodge the AoE balls from Kilrogg and keep sending different sets of 2 players into the alternate realm.
