Art of Chimaeron

Chimaeron is a boss of Blackwing Descent raid instance.

Chimaeron is seemingly some kind of altered hydra. Its name is likely based on the real world usage of "Chimaera," and not the Warcraft creature.

The world first heroic kill was by Ensidia on 20 December 2010.

Strategy

Simple in concept but more difficult in execution, Chimaeron is a gear check boss.

There are three basic phases to the fight.

When the Bile-o-Tron is online the raid will spread out, the buff will protect them from being one shot by Caustic Slime and Massacre. Healers need only heal people above 10,000 HP.

When the Bile-o-Tron is knocked offline by Massacre Chimaeron's heads will begin fighting eachother but will still cast Caustic Slime. Thus the raid will stack up on top of eachother and will need to be healed as much as possible. When the Bile-o-Tron comes back online the raid should spread out again.

At 20% HP Chimaeron will become untauntable, take extra damage and apply a debuff to the raid reducing healing done by 99%. At this point it's a simple burn. You will still have the Bile-o-Tron.
