Full boss kill video with guiding tips from Sheriden and the Extreme guild. Be sure to let us know if you prefer this style over previous boss guide videos.
GUIDE TEXT:
One of the first abilities your going to run into is Gravity Well. When cast on a player it roots them in place and sucks in the other players near by. Everyone should run out as quick as possible, so you can either dispell it or let it tick off. When this happens it will explode and do AOE damage.
Next up is Tunneling Drill. When cast it'll hit a random player and throw them up into the air. It does quite a bit of damage but nothing major. You won't be able to interupt the boss as he's immune so just heal through it. It's mainly an annoyance to healers as they'll be interupted often.
The boss will also spawn multiple minature adds, which we called rats or mice. You can use your AOE damage attacks when they spawn. They have little Health and go down fast. If they reach their target they explode and do quite a bit of damage. We we're a bit slow on this as you can see but managed to heal through the extra damage.
As you just saw the boss sprayed out a lot of fire. This causes the oil he spills on the ground to set alight. Your melee will need to be sure never to stand in either the fire or the oil. Your tank should move the boss around the area to provide more room for players to manoeuvre.
The boss will also fire out rockets at all the raid members which hit for a couple of thousand health points. It usualy coinsides with the gravity well so your healers need to be sure to keep everyone up.
Thats about it for this fight, but here are a few tips. Make sure your melee damage the boss from the sides to avoid his fire spray as much as possible. Have your ranged dps and healers spread out around the center of the map, and have your tank move the boss around the sides.
One last thing you'll see here is what we think is a bug. Both me and fresca get a gravity well on our characters at the same time. This is really annoying and dangerous. We were a bit surprised when it happened and Fresca almost died when we both exploded. A close call. If this happens to you, heal up both and dispell one of them and quickly heal again. Then when the last person explodes it won't be as much damage all at once.

does your rotation include anything other than force lightning lol

@dantheman671 I was in the hybrid spec, which basically means a ton of force lightning spam till you get a proc which allows you to get an instant cast chain lightning and/or dot. It's very good but not the most complex of rotations aha.

I was recently told on reddit that the rockets work differently than I thought, here is a helpful quote for you guys: The rockets don't hit everyone automatically; they are an AOE that fires in a 180-degree forward arc. In 16 HM and NM, the raid has to be very careful to stay in his left rear quadrant (similar to dragon positioning in other MMOs). The rockets will hit anyone but a tank for 80-90% of their health in 16-man. It's better to be caught in the fire cone than caught in a rocket blast
