Buru the Gorger

Buru

** Cannot ping pong taunt due to Charge. **
Spells:
  • Dismember (melee) - stacking bleed effect that can do 1200dmg every 2sec
  • Sprint - Buru gets a movement boost for a few seconds after either an egg burst damages him or he's been kited for 60sec since the last sprint
  • Thorns - 200dmg done per hit
    • Counter - purge?
  • Taunt immunity (may not be the case right now in Dalaran)
  • Creeping plague (??yd) - takes effect when his shell is removed and stay active until his death, a poison effect that starts doing 80dmg per tick and stacks every 2 ticks

Battle Strategies

Circling (minimum 0-1 tank, 1-2 healers, 4+DPS) Phase 1 (>20%HP, kiting)
  • Eggs can do up to 45k damage (depending on proximity of boss when egg bursts)
  • Everyone who is not targeted by Buru should bring all eggs down to 5-10%HP WITHOUT the use of DoTs (want to burst on-demand and not pre-maturely)
  • Assign a few members to kill adds when they spawn from eggs while rest keep bursting eggs on boss
  • The person who is targeted by Buru must kite it towards an egg and tell the raid which to target
  • Don't burst eggs sequentially too quickly so that the eggs' respawn rate catches up
  • Burst eggs on boss within 55sec before he uses his sprint ability
  • Never go into deep water or Buru will catch you
Phase 2 (<20%HP, DPS race)
  • Everyone should burst their DPS on Buru at this point- creeping plague can wipe the raid within 30 seconds
  • Focus heals on teammates with Buru's aggro (threat-dependent i.e. keep main DPS alive
