So this is the worst upcoming surprise in wow right now haha the ‘surprise’ boss is the final col boss and from my data mining abilities I’ve come up with the following details

LK will come back and break the coliseum floor dropping us in Anub’s Lair.

Key points:

1. You will need permofrost down, DPS should be assigned to keep these stacks up on the ground by shooting frost orbs down. Permaforst prevents boss from doing certain abilities because he is also affected by the debuff. Permofrost doesnt seem to affect cast/attack speed just movement.

2. MT will tank the boss while 1-2 OTS will pick up the adds and group them up for AOE, if the adds are still up when Anub goes under ground ALL dps will switch to focus on them.

3. Boss has a frontal cone ability so MT will tank away from raid.

4. Boss hits hard so healers will need to be aware and ready (rotation for cooldowns to be worked out, wings etc)

5. Phase 1 and 2 seem pretty simple as long as enough permofrost is down and you are all standing on it.

6. About 30% Phase 3 starts, no more adds will spawn and its a real burn down. Phase 3 looks like a lot of raid damage going on so it may be worthwile to attempt this with 7 healers to start.

Fight looks pretty long so its gonna be a fight against healers mana.

Summary of strat:

Phase 1
- 2-3 DPS will be focussing on killing frost
- Boss will be tanked on the frost with melee able to get onto frost too
- OT will pick up adds (take it in turns?) and bring them to melee
- Ranged DPS will focus down 1 or 2 of the adds and jump back onto boss (to try make Phase 2 shorter)
- EVERYONE SHOULD BE STANDING ON FROST

Phase 2
- Anub goes underground
- ALL dps to jump onto remaining 1 or 2 adds and finish them off.
- Anub will target one person (hunters mark icon showed on my Grid) this person must make sure they are not standing on frost and kite the boss away from the raid but so Anub burrows UNDER frost!.

This is repeated till 30% when Phase 3 will start. If all goes well we should get him to 30 in two cycles.

Phase 3
- Swarm does 10% of victims health in damage while leaching a percentage back to Anub, this means raid must be maintained at around 30% to make sure anub does auto full health Only tanks should be kept topped up
- No more adds!
- Burn down the boss
- Raid healers may be switched to help on tank heals or they may even be asked to dps
