| − | '''Atramedes''', also known as '''Experiment 25463-D''', was a [[black whelp]] experimented on by [[Maloriak]] to be granted "sight beyond sight". This experiment failed however and only caused Atramedes to become blind. Rather than disposing of him [[Nefarius]] decided to make further use of the blind whelp. |

These flames are also spawned in the path the Roaring Flame Breath takes while following its target, as well as in the path the Breath takes shifting from its target to the Shield that was rang.|id=78023|image=spell fire flameshock|}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Strategy== |
||
| − | This encounter revolves around the Sound Bar mechanic. All of Atramedes' abilities cause their target's sound bar to increase, and when 100% sound is reached Atramedes will gain aggro on the target and hideously mangle and crush them. Atramedes will target the highest sound player with his abilities and follow them faster if their sound is higher. |
||
| − | |||
| − | There are 10 'gongs' around the room that can be interacted with, using them will reset every raid member's sound to zero and stun Atramedes for 5 seconds. However when they are used Atramedes will become extremely upset with them and burn them to ash, so they can only be used once each. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Phase 1 === |
||
| − | |||
| − | Atramedes starts off on the ground and should be tanked near the entrance. Lasts 80 seconds. This allows quick access to the shields by a player designated to hit them. Atramedes melees slowly, but very hard. Ranged and melee should be stacked on differing sides of the boss to allow for predictable Sonar Pulse flight pathing. He will also cast Modulation at regular intervals for unavoidable raid damage and sound. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Twice per phase Atramedes will use Sonic Breath, which has a 2 sec cast time. he will quickly target the person he's casting on before using it. A direction needs to be set up beforehand on where the player needs to run (i.e. targetted player runs clockwise, others run counter). Once per phase he will channel Searing Flames. This is the main source of wipes. The designated shield hitter must always be near a shield to quickly whack it and stun Atramedes. Ideally you'll only get one stack of the debuff. Two is acceptable. Anything higher is not acceptable as he usually follows up with a Modulation which will do hefty damage and likely kill low health members. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Shortly after Searing Flames he will take off and phase 2 will begin. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === Phase 2 === |
||
| − | |||
| − | Atramedes is now in the air and has a new repertoire of moves. The most deadly being Roaring Flame Breath. This is where you'll need at least one or two dedicated kiters. Mages and Warlocks work well, and engineering is almost a must. The goal of this phase is to get through it, using preferably only one, at max two shields. As soon as the boss starts channeling, the kiter whacks a shield stunning the boss and becoming the new target. A mage can use Blink as well as the engineering belt to stay ahead of the flame, while a warlock can use the Soulburn/Portal combo to get away from the flame as well as a speed boost, before using the belt. Both will still likely need Priest's Body and Soul shields for the final few seconds. |
||
| − | |||
| − | While the kiting is going on the rest of the raid need to avoid the Sonar Bomb and Sonic Fireball as well as staying out of the flame patches, all the while ranged should be trying to put as much damage in Atramedes as possible. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After 40seconds Atramedes will land and phase 1 will resume. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | Rinse and Repeat. |

||
| − | * {{Hotfix|date=2011-01-18|bluenote= |
||
| − | ** Atramedes will now reset if the players targeted by Sonic Breath or Obnoxious Fiends attempt to leave the room. |
||
| − | ** Zoning into the dungeon after a soft reset now causes all Atramedes-related objects and creatures to reset completely. The introduction event will replay once the dwarves have been cleared. Entering combat with Atramedes forces the gongs to become usable and the fight will function normally from this point. |
||
| − | ** Atramedes will no longer despawn when his tail passes through the area trigger in the entrance to his room. He will no longer despawn randomly during the fight. Pulling him out of his room will now cause him to reset. |link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/1232869}} |
||
| − | * {{Hotfix|date=2011-01-03|bluenote= |
||
| − | ** Sonar Pulse is now spawned on top of Atramedes' current location and will spawn regardless of where Atramedes is tanked. In addition, Sonar Pulse now idles for 1 second after being cast before they move away from their spawn location. |
||
| − | ** It is no longer possible to use immunities to reset a player's sound bar while fighting Atramedes. |
||
| − | ** Atramedes' Sonic Breath now properly ignores line of sight.|link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/1232869}} |
