Baltharus the Warborn is a black dragonflight drakonid, and appears in World of Warcraft as one of the three sub-bosses in the Ruby Sanctum encounter, which was implemented in patch 3.3.5.
In order to shatter the Wyrmrest Accord and to crush those that would stand in the way of their master's reemergence into Azeroth, a powerful war party of the Black dragonflight, led by the fearsome twilight dragon Halion and his lieutenants Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn and General Zarithrian, has launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple.
Abilities
- Blade Tempest - Rapidly twirling blades deal 70% of weapon damage to enemies in front of the attacker every 0 sec for 4 sec.
- Cleave - Inflicts 110% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, affecting up to 3 targets.
- Enervating Brand - Brands an enemy target, siphoning power from the target and any allies within 12 yards of the target. This effect occurs every 2 sec, and reduces affected enemies' damage by 2% per application, while increasing the caster's damage accordingly.
- Repelling Wave - Knocks all nearby enemies back a great distance, dealing 4163 to 4837 Fire damage and stunning them for 3 sec.
Strategy
This fight needs only 2 tanks for 10s, 3 for 25s. The trick is to make sure that when any raid member is affected by the debuff, they move away from the rest of the battle so as to be at least 12 yards away from any other teammate. It is especially important to have all melee back 13 yards away from the Main Tank before cleansing the debuff so as to ensure that they are not affected either. At the very least, the Tanks CANNOT be debuffed when Baltharus initiates his whirlwind attack.
At 50% health in 10s (67% and 33% in 25s (needs confirmation)), Baltharus will clone himself. The offtank(s) has to taunt the clone and keep that with him. Now each tank has a copy of Baltharus. The DPS must attack only the original one.
