WoW SoD Gnomeregan Raid Guide

1. Grubbis

• Take  Nature Protection Potion at the start and around 30%.
• Drag the adds into the green gas clouds that are spawned by Grubbis. The gas disappears and the adds die.
• Prevent Grubbis from being hit by the gas. The gas gives him a buff.
• The longer the fight, the more gas clouds spawn and pulse AoE damage.
• The off-tank should tank the Basilisk.

2. Viscous Fallout

• Clear out the adds.
• Tank Viscous Fallout away from the bindings on the ground.
• Move out of the green clouds under the boss.
• Kill the 3 Irradiated Goo before they reach the bindings. Otherwise, they spawn a Desiccated Fallout.
• Move Viscous Fallout out of the gas clouds.

3. Crowd Pummeler 9-60

• Don’t get hit by the cog wheels.
• Never stand in front of the boss (feet are the indicator) to avoid getting hit by Gnomeregan Smash.
• At 25%, Crowd Pummeler 9-60 starts charging a random player. Make sure to heal them.

4. Electrocutioner 6000

• Static Arc mechanic (every 15 sec):
  • The boss targets the player furthest away from him. The targeted player and the two closest players to them get a debuff which increases the damage you take from Static Arc by 500% (lasts 20 sec).
  • Have 2 teams of 3 players alternating positions. After one group received the debuff, they change places with the other group.
• Static Field mechanic:
  • The boss targets a random player and gives a debuff.
  • The affected player needs to move away from other players. Be aware to not stand further away than the 3-player group for Static Arc.

5. Menagerie

• Kill the mobs all at the same time. Otherwise, they keep respawning.
• Main Tank tanks STX-37/CN (chicken) and STX-25/NB (squirrel).
• Off Tank tanks STX-04/BD (dragon).
• All players stay away from STX-13/LL (sheep). It stuns everyone close to it.
• Don’t get hit by the dragon’s flame breath frontal. It has a large area of effect. The tank can try to announce this ability if you’re in voice chat.
• You can tank STX-37/CN, STX-25/NB, and STX-04/BD close to each other. It’s easier to see and dodge the dragon’s flame breath that way.
• DPS down the egg the chicken spawns. It has very low health.
• The squirrel damages the whole group with its spell  Widget Volley. This spell should be interrupted as often as possible.
• Casters can push the red buttons on the pillars every 30 seconds to trade health for mana.

6. STX-96/FR | Mekgineer Thermaplugg

• The boss has 4 phases.
• Main Mechanic (all phases):
  • Any of the 6 pillars starts throwing down bombs.
  • The bombs target and move toward a player.
  • If they reach the target, they explode and have an effect that depends on the phase.
  • Kill the bombs.
  • Quickly press the red button underneath the pillar they are spawning from. This stops them from spawning, deals damage to you, and restores mana. You’ll also get a debuff that prevents you from pressing another button for 30 sec.
• Phase 1 (Fire Phase):
  • The boss applies the stacking dot Sprocketfire to the main tank. Taunt swap when the stacks get too high.
  • The boss uses Furnace Surge on the main tank (3 sec cast time) and applies stacks of Sprocketfire if the tank is in melee range.
  • As the main tank avoid getting hit by Furnace Surge by running away during the cast time.
• Phase 2 (Frost Phase):
  • The boss applies stacks of the Freezing debuff to the main tank. Each stack slows the movement speed by 5%. At 11 stacks, the player will be frozen.
  • The boss uses Cooling Discharge every 25 sec which causes a raid-wide AoE hit and applies a stack.
  • Avoid the frost patches caused by exploding bombs. Stepping on them will give you stacks.
  • Frost stacks can be dispelled by a  Priest and  Druids can shapeshift out of it.  Free Action Potion is also useful.
• Phase 3 (Nature Phase):
  • The boss applies the disease Radiation Sickness to the main tank. Nature damage taken is increased by 50%. Radiation Sickness can be dispelled.
  • Be aware of his channeled AoE damage ability Toxic Ventilation (does not have a cast bar). It can be interrupted.
  • Avoid the green poison clouds on the ground caused by exploding bombs. This will apply Radiation Sickness to you.
• Phase 4:
  • The boss does all the mechanics from the previous phases.
  • When he’s at 0%, Mekgineer Thermaplugg jumps out and also needs to be killed.
