TBC Classic Magtheridon Boss Guide

wretched meddling insects release me and perhaps i will grant you a merciful death what's up guys alma here with another video in this one we're diving into the depths of hellfire citadel to tackle the former lord of outlands himself magthon let's get into it i am unleashed before fighting this thick pit lord you will have to take out the trash with four packs of three hellfire borders one of the overarching themes of this whole raid is can you interrupt abilities and that's taught right out of the gate with shadow bolt volley this deal significant shadow damage to everyone in the raid but it can and has to be interrupted so make sure you assign interrupts on each of the three waters on every pole along with shadow bolt volley they will cast rain of fire just make sure you move out of this if it is cast on top of you as it does fairly heavy damage the last of the aoe spells is shadow burst this does aoe damage in a short radius knocks all nearby players back and drops threat so the tanks need to be ready to taunt these guys back to them when this goes off unstable affliction will be periodically applied to raid members it only does 1800 damage over 18 seconds but the kicker is that if it's dispelled it does 300 damage to the dispeller and silences them for 5 seconds so healers just be aware of what you're dispelling so you don't get hit with that 5 second silence lastly you'll be periodically casting shadow word pain and death coil nothing super serious there moving into magtheridon's room there are 5 hellfire channellers surrounding mctheridon channelling beams that are keeping him imprisoned walking into the room will not trigger the encounter attacking the channelers will so just make sure that nobody attacks them until you're ready to go the channelers have five abilities and this is where the interrupters and your raid need to step up to the plate shadow bolt volley is an aoe ability that does significant damage to any raid members in a 30 yard range and dark mending is a heel that heals a fellow channeler for 1 8 of their health now i can't stress this enough this fight hinges on your ability to interrupt these abilities you will not make it to the mag theradon phase if you let the shadowbolt volleys and dark mendings go out so make sure you have assignments for interrupts and backup assignments for interrupting also make sure you're applying things like cursive tongues and mind numbing poison to increase the casting time of these channelers so it's easier to get the interrupts out warlocks are probably the most important class to bring to this fight and that is because these channelers will be dropping biggle infernals on the raid periodically these things absolutely slap and will go straight for your healers due to healing aggro so the warlocks need to be fast on getting them banished if you happen to not have enough warlocks in the raid you can have an off tank sit in the raid to pick these up when they're summoned lastly the channelers will cast a fear so keep those fear boards up and those tremor totems down once a channeler dies that's not the end of the problems they'll be giving you in a final blood brother type of act they will transfer their soul to all remaining channelers increasing casting speed and damage by 30 percent so the last channel we're standing is gonna be one beefy boy after taking four stacks of this mag theradon has a standard cleave so only the tank should be standing in front of him and then he'll cast conflagration which puts fire on a random part of the floor so just don't stand in the fire the two main abilities are quake and blast nova quake is a raid wide knockback that knocks you back every second for seven seconds dealing damage and interrupting spell casts next is the infamous blast nova the most important mechanic in the make or break of this fight blast nova does about 2 500 damage every 2 seconds for 10 seconds so enough damage to kill most people in just a couple of ticks the only way to stop this blast nova is to do your best hellfire channel or impression and use the manocron cubes around the room that the channelers were using to imprison magtheridon to stop the cast in order to stop the blast nova five members of your raid need to all click a cube right when blast nova is about to be cast this will temporarily imprison mag and keep him from casting the nova that you can't have the same five people click the cubes every time because once done channeling you'll get the mind exhaustion debuff which makes it so that you can't channel the ability again until it falls off what you'll want to do before the fight is set up four groups of five clickers with each of the five clickers knowing exactly which cube they're going to click and at what time it's also beneficial to set up a group of backup clickers that can click their assigned cube at a moment's notice in case something goes wrong with the groups or another clicker dies or anything like that now that we know the abilities let's walk through the fight move into the room with the ranged dps and healers in the middle of the room and your tanks at their assigned channelers you'll want three to five tanks for this encounter depending on how geared you are or how comfortable with the fight your group is you can have two tanks pick up two mobs at once or you can send one tank to each channeler hunters make sure to use misdirect here to help the tanks pick up the channelers for the healers make sure you have healing assignments set up beforehand to keep those tanks alive once the channeler is attacked and the encounter starts you have two minutes before magthon becomes active to kill as many channelers as you can ideally all of them each channeler should be marked with the raid icon and the dps will go in the assigned kill order killing each channeler one by one as fast as they can whenever those shadow bolt volleys or dark mendings are being cast make sure you're kicking them and interrupting whoever you're assigned to even the rest of shamans can get in on the interrupts to help with rank 1 earth shots when the infernals come down warlock should just make sure you're fast on the banishes once the tank is done tanking their original assignment they can go relieve one of the other tanks of a channeler if they're tanking multiple two minutes after the first channeler is attacked magfaridon will become active have your main tank pick him up and pull him to the opposite wall of the main entrance with the tanks back to the wall this is so that when a quake is cast the main tank isn't knocked away from the boss and can keep his positioning the raid will spread out with the first group of cube clickers ready to go for the first blast nova parade warding will be shown right in the middle of your screen that says magtheridon begins to cast blast nova this is your sign to click the cue but don't click it before don't click it after right when that warning goes up click the cue while channeling the beam each clicker will be taking about 800 damage every tick but while magtheridon is under the effect of all five purple beams at the same time he will take 300 increased damage so hold those beams as long as you can and get the healers to top you off to increase the duration of this burn phase now most importantly when clicking a cube do not move don't double click hunters click off the boss so that you don't accidentally auto shoot him while clicking it just click the cube once and stand there while the purple beam is being cast if you do happen to move or double click or any of these things the channel will cancel and mind exhaustion will be placed on you so you can't start the channel again and will lead to a wipe in most cases note that quake and blast nova can end up happening one after the other so if your cube clicker and you're up next stand with your back toward the wall behind the cube you're meant to click this keeps you from getting knocked all the way away from your cube and not being there in time when blast nova goes off the cube clicking is the single most important part of this fight so get your clicking practice in to avoid those blast novas at 30 health phase 3 will start magtheridon will shatter the walls of his lair causing the roof to crash down this does significant damage to the raid and stuns everyone for 2 seconds healers just need to be ready to heal up the raid once this happens lastly throughout phase 3 on top of the fire on the ground the roof will collapse periodically avoid these roof cave-ins because they will just kill you also note that during phase 3 all the previous abilities will still be in play so make sure you're ready to keep clicking those cubes in your rotation since the location of roof collapses are determined by targeting a raid member and it happening on top of them make sure you aren't standing on a cube platform because if the roof caves in on that platform it could lead to a wipe from blocking the clicker from accessing the cube and that's about it rinse and repeat till the boss is dead there you have it guys follow these steps and you'll be looting this big thick chonky boy in no time if you like this video guys or found it helpful show your appreciation by hitting that subscribe button it helps the channel out a lot and i do greatly

How many cube clickers does it take at the current state? Some posts say 20 in four groups, that's an insane amount of coordination.
