He summons fire elementals during the fight and they will deal terrible aoe damage if they reach their target, so nuke and snare those quickly.

Also, when he drops at about 30-20 % health, Twilight dragon Valiona enters fight, and Drahga himself gets 90% damage reduction, and attacks random players with his main ability.

When dragon is at 5-10% health, she leaves Drahga to die. Finish off the boss and thats it.

Heroic version: Fire elementals do enough damage to one-shot you when they explode, and Valiona's breath is far more dangerous.

By fire, be...BURNED!

The key to winning this fight:

If an elemental fixates on you, run away.

Don't stop to finish a cast.

Don't stop to melee the boss a bit more.

If you're tanking, move the boss.

RUN AWAY LITTLE GIRL, RUN AWAY

Everyone else nukes it down. Eta: The elemental can be slowed and stunned, confirmed.

Tactics to how to sucessfully kill this boss on Heroic:
Setup:
Protection paladin (me)
Restoration shaman
Shadow priest
Shadow priest
Fury warrior

As the post above mine states, running away from adds is prio number one, they will instantly kill the target if he is hit. Slowing effects and stunns works, use every possible skill you have to not have them reach their target. About 2-3 seconds after death they will explode. It doesnt look like this will harm you, though. Obviously the person who gets targetted by the add have to run, like crazy. You can see where the adds are about to spawn by looking out

The first phase is rather easy and short. When the boss 'dies' he will jump into the lava, summoning a dragon. That's when the real fight begins.

On his dragon, the boss gains new abilities but continues to spawn adds which are still prio number one. In addition he will cause an area of effect which slows your movement speed. He will also breathe for heavy damage on your party. This covers an area of almost 180 degrees in front of him. So stay behind him when that happends.

Lastly, he will randomly throw fireballs on people. They do pretty low damage and are not interuptable.

This summarizes the bossfight, which is rather challanging. It is not a DPS race, but do kill the adds fast.

Good luck!

this fight on heroic appeared unwinnable for my group today. composition:
warrior tank
holy priest
destro lock
hunter
rogue

killing the adds was not a problem, and staying out of the frontal aoe wasn't a big problem either. It was the random shadowbolts. Healer just could not heal through that crap. 15k random unavoidable damage like every second. I checked recount and that ability had always done one million damage by the time the boss was at 50%. Tried like 10 times before calling it. healer was always oom before the thing was half dead. dps was each doing about 8k which doesn't seem awful. Not sure what was going wrong.

Kommentar von elementLK

Can the elementals be banished? And if yes, will he spawn more than one?

Kommentar von 632709

Despite what others say this is actually very easy on heroic.

After he hops on to the drake there are 3 things to watch out for.
- The twilight thing on the ground that is pretty much fire, it seems to be dropped behind the boss. (You can't see it well unless you have projected textures on, you will have a debuff that lets you know you are standing in it.)

- His breath. (When he turns away from the tank, run behind the boss, the spread of his breath is humongous.)

- Spawned elemental adds. (These need to be DPSed as soon as possible, unless they are coming for you, if they are coming for you run away. There will be a fire beam pointing to you that lets you know that they are heading for you. They only blow up when they reach their target so melee DPS are not in danger when they kill the add, stun or snare them if you can. Also, sometimes they will spawn right next to you and you will die before you even knew it happened, make sure you look around for the small fire gates whenever it notifies you that he summons them.)

And he also spawns the adds before he hops onto the drake so beware.

Why do tanks drag Valiona all around the edges of the room continuously? Especially in the heroic version of this fight, that guarantees that anyone who has to stand still to cast will not survive the breath AoE.

EDIT: to phrase this is a more constructive fashion, Valiona turns in a random direction to do the breath attack, so PLEASE try to keep him/her away from the walls to increase the odds that the party has somewhere to go. The breath weapon is semicircular and has a very long range, so if Valiona is near a wall and fires it outward, there is nowhere to run.

Confirmed today in Heroic mode:

Hunter's Deterrence will completely protect you from the Devouring Flames.

(Wanted to test since even though it SAYS 100% parry/range deflect/spell deflect, there are some things it does not work on.)

Kommentar von 671328

This boss can be skipped if you think it's too hard, the only downside is that the last boss isn't much easier.

Kommentar von 113855

It was perhaps NOT the best idea to have the dragon and the boss use the same voice actor. The effect when both are speaking together... it sounds like one person pretending to be two people.

Which, in fact, it is.

Kommentar von 513218

In normal at least, the ads are tauntable. Distracting shot became very handy to have them get away from their intended target, giving us enough room to kill them with ease

Kommentar von Argae

Hey, i've done this boss several times now in HC mode as healer, but some times I do it, during the second phase with the Dragon, and the AoE attack, we wipe. Because of that dragon's AoE flame breath. The tank faces him away ofc, but she seems to just turn around and face the rest of the party doing about 17k per tick to every party member, and I can't seem to heal through it sometimes. Any ideas?

Kommentar von 487010

The add has laughably low hp (~80k on heroic) and can be stunned/slowed and the spot that it's gonna spawn at is easily seen. Devouring flames is the main killer so people should stick relatively close to the dragon to shorten the distance that they have to run to avoid dmg. The only ground effect is the pink slowing puddle, which as far as I could tell is always cast in melee range.

Also the boss does a short dialogue emote before the elemental is about to spawn.

Kommentar von 481470

Pretty sure this is the same voice actor as Putricide--the pacing and modulation kind of gives it away.

Kommentar von 631630

TAKE NOTE: Melee dps can kill the adds if they're not focusing them. See a lot of melee dps neglecting to do that on this fight, but the adds only blow up if they reach their target.

Kommentar von Crusalis

Healing this fight is an absolute nightmare.

Boss is constantly casting bolts at random party members, on top of the tank being hit by the dragon, and the breath is a double edged sword that hurts so much. Either group together and run through the boss, taking about 50k damage if you are too slow, or if you have ranged DPS, backing up and taking about 10k damage every second (Further away from the boss, the less damage taken)

Kommentar von 743097

This fight proved nearly impossible to me, as I had about 600+ ms. Not enough time to move from the breath. If you are lagging, give up and try again another day.

Kommentar von Aryn2382

Most annoying voice, or, THE most annoying voice of the expansion? :P

Kommentar von mewmewface

impossible boss, that aoe breath is ridiculous

Kommentar von 168387

Most frustrated I have been in a Heroic fight in I don't know when. This is stupid hard on healers and has to be adjusted. Tuned way too high at this point.

Kommentar von 743774

The banter between Drahga and Valiona is amusing, especially with the voice acting.

Drahga: Dragon! You will do as I command... CATCH MEEEEE!
Valiona: If they do not kill you, I will do it myself!

Kommentar von Iilrane

{utterly dizzy after about nine failed attempts in a row with heroic edition} Quickest way to blast me into fatal panic: Have Valiona fire Devouring Flames WHILE I'M RUNNING AWAY FROM ONE OF THE SPIRITS...Whenever that happened, I think I froze in panic (well, froze into just running from the spirit), and got netherscorched as a result...

Kommentar von mech6982

... we wipe. Because of that dragon's AoE flame breath... I can't seem to heal through it sometimes. Any ideas?

Stop trying to heal through it, and get to the safe side of the dragon. If anyone is out in the fire breath for more than a few seconds, they're going to die. It's your DPS's responsibility to stay out of the avoidable damage. Helping them get out is a good idea, but don't try to heal a party who stands in the fire.

The above posts already say it all. Avoid avoidable damage, slow and kite the adds.

Also, be mindful of the glowing puddle. It's not just a slowing effect; it's a DoT-zone.

The breath does not hit very hard, you can totally survive getting hit by it, provided A) your health wasn't already low and B) you're far enough from the flame.

This is a bad idea. Yes, the damage is less out toward the end of the cone attack, but that doesn't mean you should advocate it. Be aware of what's going on and get behind the dragon. You shouldn't be out so far that you can't take less total damage by running behind the dragon.

Kommentar von Shaitana

Does anyone know if it's possible to kill him before he jumps off the ledge? When doing this on heroic with my hunter earlier he was almost dead when he jumped (<1%) and I'm pretty sure at least one of us landed a blow that should have killed him.

Is it just scripted so that no matter how fast you kill him in the first phase he'll still manage to jump on the dragon?

Kommentar von 464210

Is it just me or do some of his quotes and the way he talks remind anyone of Invader Zim?

Kommentar von astoon

I would like to have his aggro sound in a macro with my immolation.

"BY FIRE BE... BURNED!"

Kommentar von gabeo820

Am i the only one here who thinks he sounds like a gnome?

Kommentar von woohaa

Not sure if this was a bug or was changed in some patch, but death gripping the elemental caused it to blow up on me instead of it's intended target.

My wife was healing and our dps were being retarded and not killing the elemental. When it spawned and had her targeted i deathgripped it as the tank intending to chains it after and hopefully kill it myself before it got to her. However, i guess taunts cause it to temporarily change targets and it will blow up on said target if it gets the chance.

anyone else have something similar happen?

Drahgas primäre Attacke ist . Diese können unterbrochen werden, was die Arbeit Eures Heilers etwas einfacher macht.

Der Orc wirkt auch Herbeirufung der Flamme. Dies markiert eine Stelle auf dem Boden mit Feuer. Nach einigen Sekunden wird eine Invocation of Flame Stalker in den Flammen erscheinen und sich einen zufälligen Spieler aussuchen, und einen roten Strahl auf ihn werfen. Alle Schadenmacher außer dem Ziel sollten sich dem Elementar zuwenden und ihn verlangsamen/betäuben und töten. Wenn ein Elementar sein Ziel erreicht, wird es explodieren und jeden im Umkreis töten.

Phase 2: Drachenphase

Bei 25% verbleibender Gesundheit springt Drahga von seiner Plattform ab auf sein herbeigerufenes Reittier Valiona. Nun müsst Ihr gegen den Drachen kämpfen.

Positioniert Valiona im Zentrum des Raumes und stellt jeden von Eurer Gruppe in ihrer Nähe auf. Hervorrufungen der Flamme erscheinen weiterhin, und sie müssen genauso schnell wie in der ersten Phase ausgeschaltet werden.

Valiona wirkt öfters auf ihr Ziel, was einen Riss in das Zwielichtreich erzeugt. Der Tank und jeder andere in diesem Riss Stehende werden in ihrer Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit sehr gehemmt und sollten schnell da raus, da ein Kampf gegen eine Hervorrufung der Flamme hier tödlich ist.

Valiona verwendet zudem auch einen frontalen Atemangriff, der nicht nur jeden in einem Kegel, sondern auch die auf der Seite stehenden trifft.

Wenn Valiona niedrige Gesundheit hat, lässt sie Drahga fallen und wegfliegen. Macht ihn fertig.

Drahga Schattenbrenner

Drahga Schattenbrenner bekämpft die Spielercharaktere allein, bis nur noch 30% seiner Gesundheit verbleiben. Danach ruft er Valiona zum Kampf hinzu. Drahga führt den Kampf gegen die Spielercharaktere dann von Valionas Rücken aus weiter.

Brennender Schattenblitz – Drahga Schattenbrenner beschießt einen zufälligen Spieler mit brennenden Schatten und fügt ihm so 14625 to 15375 Schattenfeuerschaden zu.
Herbeirufung der Flamme – Drahga Schattenbrenner beginnt damit, an einer zufälligen Stelle um ihn herum ein Portal zu öffnen. Nach 5 Sek. öffnet sich das Portal komplett und fügt allen Feinden im Umkreis von 4 Metern 9262 to 9737 Feuerschaden zu. Ein beschworener lodernder Geist erscheint ebenfalls am Portal.
Der beschworene lodernde Geist rennt auf einen zufälligen Spielercharakter zu und wirkt eine Supernova, wenn er diesen Spielercharakter erreicht.
- [Invoked Flaming Spirit] – Diese Kreatur mit nur wenig Gesundheit rennt auf einen zufälligen Spielercharakter zu und ignoriert alle Versuche, einen Zielwechsel zu erzwingen. Wenn der Geist den Spielercharakter erreicht, wirkt er eine Supernova.
- Supernova – Der beschworene lodernde Geist explodiert in einer heftigen Supernova und fügt allen Spielern im Umkreis von 10 Metern sofort 151125 to 158875 Feuerschaden und zusätzlich 8 sec lang alle 1 Sek. 4875 to 5125 Feuerschaden zu.

Valiona

Valiona schließt sich dem Kampf an, wenn Drahga Schattenbrenners verbleibende Gesundheit 30% erreicht. Sie kämpft mit Drahga zusammen, bis sie selbst 20% verbleibende Gesundheit erreicht. Dann wird sie Drahga abwerfen und ihn alleine gegen die Spieler kämpfen lassen.

Schreddernder Prankenhieb – Valiona schlägt nach ihrem aktuellen Ziel, fügt ihm 100% ihres normalen Nahkampfschadens zu und öffnet einen Riss in das Zwielichtreich. Dieser Riss erschafft eine Lache aus sickerndem Zwielicht.
Sickerndes Zwielicht – Der von Valiona geöffnete Riss erschafft 20 sec lang eine Lache aus sickerndem Zwielicht mit einem Radius von 10 Metern, die auf den Standort ihres Ziels zentriert ist. Die Lache fügt jedem Spielercharakter, der darin steht, alle 1 Sek. 9262 to 9737 Schattenschaden zu.
