Razorscale Boss Strategy
Phase 1 – Air Phase
To start phase 1 simply talk to the expedition commander. During this phase you are tasked with defending the dwarven crews while they repair the harpoon launchers. Your primary focus here is killing all of the adds and avoiding the devouring flames that Razorscale will be launching.
As each harpoon launcher is successfully repaired they may be clicked to fire a harpoon at Razorscale. After all 4 turrets have been fired Razorscale will come to the ground. Once on the ground Razorscale will be stunned temporarily, during this time your DPS will want to blow all cooldowns to do as much damage as possible.
After the stun ends Razorscale will fly up into the air again and you’ll repeat the firing process to bring her down.
Phase 2 – Ground Phase
Once you’ve got Razorscale below 50% she will land. During this phase you’ll want your tank to spin her face away from the main raid to avoid flame breaths. At this point the fiight becomes a standard tank and spank fight. Continue to avoid devouring flame and keep DPS up. As flame buffet stacks on your tank he will be taking some serious damage towards the end of the fight, so maximizing your DPS during this phase will be crucial.
For some reason no ones strats talk about the enrage timer or the movement debuff? Any ideas about that?
Soft enrage; your tank stacks Flame Buffet debuff and keeps taking increasingly large damage.
where are the suggested heals for this boss and any others?
@D – recommended 2 healers as this really is more of a DPS race
When we do Razorscale we have two tanks that alternate taking the debuff after two attacks. We also pat her around the circle track.
Dont know about the patting but the taunting off the debuff is working well
