A snake-like ringed elemental.
I'm sorry, but,
Best model ever?
Although it does ambush Milhouse Manastorm :(

Kommentar von Lachlaan

Does it drop elemental spice when it dies? ... The spice must flow!

Kommentar von Vorbis

- move out of shards (think Archavon)
- grab adds in underground phase
- dont stand on shaking ground in underground phase

Don't fight this if you're worgen, you'll get ring worms.

This fight is essentially two alternating phases. I personally call them the "Up Phase" and the "Down Phase". In the Up Phase, he'll do a couple of things. "Dampening Wave" is entirely a healer ability. The group will take a small about of damage and get a stacking debuff that absorbs 15k healing. This stacks up to 20 times, and if you don't dispell it... well, you have fun with that. The good news is that one dispell will get rid of the entire stack of debuffs. "Crystal Barrage" is similar to Archavon shards and deals about 15k every second and spawn a lot of adds. The adds will hit your tank for damage that is pretty much un-tankable. If you don't move out of the AoE, you will probably die. If you don't AoE the adds down fast enough, everyone in your group including your tank will probably die.

Eventually the boss will burrow underground and you'll enter the down phase. The down phase is simple in writing, but not so simple when you do it. During the down phase, the boss will meander around and frequently come above ground for a few seconds causing a dust cloud and then burrow underground again. If you get hit by the boss while he is doing this, you are dead. While moving around avoiding the boss, you'll have to deal with several tiny adds. You want to AoE these down, but it can be hard at times because everyone is moving all over the place. Use frontal cone abilities or any AoEs you can use while moving really. Cone of Cold, Typhoon, Blood Boil, etc. After the boss goes back into the up phase, the fight becomes rinse and repeat.

NORMAL MODE:

Healer spam fight, basically.

While above ground, DPS and tank should simply spank the hell out of him. The boss will occasionally vast "Dampening Wave" which will place a debuff on all party members that absorbs heals. However, casting one dispell will remove ALL stacks of the debuff, so that is all that needs to be done.

The boss will also cast a spell that throws shards of crystal at a random party member, that member should move out of the shards.

After some time, the boss will burrow underground.

While underground, the boss will randomly pick a place to pop up from underground. This area will have an "earthquake" effect, and everyone needs to avoid these patches of earthquake or take big damage.

While the boss is underground, small adds will also spawn. These should be AoE'd down quickly.

The boss will return above ground, and simply repeat.

Kommentar von Blackthorne

We just did this on heroic, here's how we did it.

We stood near tank. When crystals spawn, get out because they'll hit everyone (only tank stays). When they've "matured" into purple crystals, AOE them quick. They'll die instantly.
When he goes underground, move around in a group and kill the spawning adds while on the move.
Dispell the Dampening Wave.

Will update when I get more info.

Heroic Mode:
Tank this boss at the other side of the room he spawns in so that when he goes underground you can book it across the room and not have to worry much about the dolphin jump killing you.

He'll cast Dampening Wave periodically that puts a debuff on everyone that absorbs a large amount of healing, it is dispellable by magic so the whole party should try to avoid damage so the healer can keep up with dispelling and healing only the tank. It lasts around 5s so you can just wait it out if a dps really needs a heal.

He's sure to cast his Crystal Barrage on a random party member which deals most of their life in damage so move out of it. The crystals will mature into purple crystals and fly to the closest target (or the target they were targeting I guess), they have very little health, my party used a hunter's multi-shot combined with a boomkin's typhoon.

Be sure to kill the shale spiders that come out during the underground phase as they will happily stick to anything and kill it quick.

Kommentar von Benegesserit

Either all other bosses need to be buffed to his level or him nerfed. This boss is way out of scale compared to the other heroic 5 bosses from all the other Cata dungeons.

Just finished this on Heroic after a few wipes. What we ended up doing:

Above Ground Phase: Spread out. Dispel Dampening Wave. When he shoots the pink crystals, move quickly out of it. We used two ranged dps (mage & lock) to kill the floating purple adds before they could get to anyone. They have very little health, assigning two dpsers to do this probably isn't necessary.

Kevin Bacon/Tremors (Below Ground) Phase: Avoiding the rumbling ground is priority one. I tried my best to keep all the rockspider adds on me (the tank) and dps kept them from hurting people w/ stuns/slows/snares. They were either dead or on me by the time he reemerged.

Rinse, repeat.

Personal note: The fight feels very hectic when you first attempt it because everything he does deals incredible amounts of damage. The vast majority of the damage is avoidable so after a few attempts you'll likely be killing this guy with no hiccups.

Guide for Heroic Corborus (Stonecore)
(Note: All values are from the perspective of a cloth caster)

Fight Breakdown:

The fight will start with a burn phase of about 30 seconds. During this phase Corborus will use an ability that launches waves of red crystal shards at a player. For this reason, it is best to spread out. The shards deal about 8k damage per second, so running out of the AoE as soon as possible is necessary.

About 2 seconds after the waves of shards stop, 8-10 Crystal Shards with about 10k health each will spawn where the crystals were. These adds will move towards the closest player and explode, each dealing 20k damage and applying a debuff that increases all damage taken by 25% for 15 seconds. The damage and debuff stack, therefore it is recommended to assign someone to AoE the adds as soon as they spawn.

In addition during this phase (one), Corborus will use Dampening Wave often which will deal damage to everyone and absorb up to 15k healing for 6 seconds. This effect also stacks.

After phase one, Corborus will burrow for approximately 1 minute, becoming untargetable. During this time, he will create a line of dust clouds every 10-12 seconds on top of a random player and jump out of the ground 4-5 seconds later. This effect deals 200k damage if caught in it, and can only be survived using an immunity or damage decreasing effect (such as or ). It is easiest to stay somewhat spread out as clumping will increase the chance of someone getting caught in the damage. In addition to jumping out of the ground, Corborus will summon many adds (about 1 every second or two) with about 10k hp each. These can be AoEd down easily, but if they are allowed to build up they can deal some serious damage as they deal 500-750 damage per hit.

The fight continues back and forth between phases until Corborus is dead.

Heroic Tip: When he casts the AoE shards, AoE that space straight away to kill the bombs he spawns.

Tough fight indeed. If you don't feel like fighting him on any particular day you can just hug the left wall and skip him completely!

My guild and I were going for the Rotten to the Core achievement and were pressed for time, so we just ran right by him!

Kommentar von grifthefirst

This is in fact the very same tapeworm that nearly killed 50 cent.

Kommentar von Kiione

I just ran this heroic as a shadow priest and it BLEW! This boss summons these stupid crystal adds (as you have all doubtless read) that have to be AoE'd down right away and sadly, I was the only one with an AoE attack in my group.

Well, shadow priests cant target the crystals until after they have matured because of the dynamic of the spell, and obviously once they mature and you are standing still because this is a channeled spell, they are almost instantly right in your face and exploding you to death.

Preemptive AoE is really the only way to get those crystals down in time! :(

Oh, and Cerberus is the three headed hound that guards the gates to Hades. Not a worm.

Kommentar von B3y0nd

I don't understand Dampening Wave, it says the debuff stacks up to 20 times, but it only has a 6 sec duration and he casts it like once every 20 secs? It will never stack more than once?

Kommentar von 628370

Don't stand in dust or crystals and dispel Dampening Wave. Other than that, it's a basic tank 'n spank.

Don't despair if you don't have ranged for the crystal shards. Tonight we found that you have a short window between the Crystal Barrage completion and the crystals actually targeting someone.

Enable enemy nameplates.
When Crystal Barrage starts, have your tank and melee stand as close as possible without being hit by the AoE.
As soon as the nameplates pop, hit your burst AoE (Swipe/Hammer of the Righteous/Fan of Knives/Shockwave/etc).
?
Profit.

In our case only two people (Paladin and Feral Druid) responding quickly were plenty to drop the crystals before they had a chance to target/harm anyone, and it really trivialized Crystal Barrage and thus Corborus.

Kommentar von DayMar

Crystals can be downed with a decently geared AoE, I did it with mage and druid (on two different ocasions). Also worth mentioning is, that if you are a paladin, throw consecration when he casts crystals on you. While it is usually not enough, it does help (it also works on all similar abilities, just dont risk running back in or don't ever wait in the barrage).

Oh and he bores trough the Stone Core, that why he is called CorBorus (Thanks to yogscast team for the awesome joke and many good tactics videos).

How to solo normal difficulty as a 85 paladin:

Kommentar von 557662

Very easy to solo on normal difficulty as a prot warr with il of 350, mostly wearing JP gear and rep epics. Took me about 6 mins with average dps of 6k. Health wasn't a problem since he doesn't hit hard, and when the adds spawn victory rush will keep you up easily.

Kommentar von 784961

how much justice point do you get from it at normal and heroic?

Kommentar von vaderas

Affliction warlocks: If you're like me, you'll have got out of the habit of using Rain of Fire very often, preferring Seed of Corruption. If you try and SoC the crystals on heroic Corborus, you'll probably die.

Use Rain of Fire - it's built for this. As soon as his crystal barrage finishes, start casting Rain of Fire on the area. Even with bad RoF damage as affliction, the low HP of the crystals still result in them generally dying before going anywhere - they hang around before picking a target.

(Heroic)
For groups with no AoE or very bad luck just got done running it with a pure melee group.

As a rogue you can use the old sarth trick to help the group get past him.

Group stays back, rogue aggs and vanishes, group runs for tunnel.

Kommentar von seahen

Requires 530 mining on heroic. I'm glad I saved my old gloves with Handschuhe - Sammler applied, but the drops weren't worth the trip to the bank to get them.

Kommentar von Matokeagle

I have a question. I have tried to mine this boss and the 3rd boss in here, I have maxed mining and a pair of gloves with on it and for some reason it does not let me mine it. Has anyone else noticed this since 4.2 went live?

Kommentar von 917425

its cool

Kommentar von kgurnhill

It seems that he doesn't apply dampening wave fast enough for it to stack! :)
Unless, every single time i've run this place i just got lucky? :)

Kommentar von Crevan

If you want to try soloing Corborus on heroic difficulty, your biggest problem will be the Kristallbeschuss and the small Kristallsplitter that spawn from it. There's a lot of shards, they explode for a lot of (nature) damage, and each explosion increases your damage taken by 25%. The shards have about 7k-9k health, so they can die pretty fast, but ideally you'd want to be far away from them when that happens.

If you are a death knight, a good way to deal with this is to drop Tod und Verfall on the spot where the shards will spawn and spread the diseases from the boss onto them. After that, just move out of their range and they'll die soon enough. However, you will have DnD available only for every second wave of shards, but you can generally survive the whole lot with Antimagische Hülle up - you will take some damage, but not enough to kill you, and you'll avoid the debuff as well.

Took me about 5 minutes to kill it, with 393 average item level. I'm pretty sure it can be done with worse gear, but it won't be easy.

ist ein Schwächungszauber, den Croborus auf die ganze Gruppe wirkt. Es sollte schnell vom Tank entfernt werden, aber kann auf anderen Spielern belassen werden, da die sechs Sekunden Dauer kein Problem bieten.

Haltet Euch fern von Kristallbeschuss und seid bereit, die dadurch herbeigerufenen Adds schnell durch Flächenschaden zu töten. Versucht, sie aus der Distanz auszuschalten, da sie mit einem stapelndem Schwächungszauber, der eingenommenen Schaden erhöht, explodieren.

Corborus gräbt sich wiederholt in den Boden ein, und versucht, Spieler von unten her im Sprung zu treffen. Haltet Euch fern von seinem durch Staubwolken und Gesteinsbröckeln vorgezeichneten Weg. Adds erscheinen ständig in dieser Phase und sollten getötet werden, auch wenn noch einige leben, wenn Corborus wieder auftaucht.
