Magtheridon's Lair

Template:Bc Template:Stub/BC Template:Hellfire Citadel Template:Raid Dungeons

Magtheridon's Lair is a raid wing of the Hellfire Citadel dungeon in Outland. You can find the entrance to Mag's Lair on the very bottom of the western side of the Citadel (opposite side from the other 3 entrances). It has been confirmed by Blizzard that it will be a quick, raid encounter (like Onyxia's Lair, which contains four "guard mobs" before the boss, Onyxia).

Strategy Speculation

The Encounter: - You start with 5 Channelers. The second you engage them, you have 2 min before Magtheridon becomes "active."

Channelers:
- Each have a large HP Pool ~1 Million.
- They hit for 5k on Plate.
- They do a Shadowbolt Volley that hits for ~3k (can be interrupted).
- They can heal each other (so you spread them out, and you can interrupt it) And CoT works - They summon infernals that can feared and banish and tanked. They will 1 hit anyone outside of a Pally or a Warrior. You have about ~6 infernals up at 1 time (they die after x min).
- After you kill 1 Channeler, the other 4 gain a buff were they gain 33% more damage, and 33% increase in casting speed (and this stacks upwards, or so I think, we never killed 2 :/)

Magtheridon:
- After 2 Min, Magtheridon becomes active. He hits for 6000-8000 on a warrior, has a cleave that will one hit anyone outside of a warrior, and has 2 special abilities.
- The first is a knock-back that will launch everyone to the outside of the room, it lasts for about 8 or so seconds. He will do this about 10-20 seconds after he becomes active.
- The second is a Fire Nova that hits for about 2.5k fire damage every 2 seconds, lasts for 10 seconds. He will use this about 25-30 seconds after he becomes active.

The "Gimmick":
- There are 5 boxes that each of the channelers is at. When Magtheridon becomes active, so do they. If all 5 people click the box (and are able to channel it all at once) Magtheridon will be stunned, and take 100% more damage.
- BUT, Control of the Box deals 700-800 damage a second. After breaking from a Box, you get Mind Exhaustion, which lasts for ~1:30.

Attunement

You DO NOT need a key to enter Magtheridon's Lair. It is possible to zone in provided you are level 65 and are in a raid group.

Trash mobs

There are four packs of (3)Warders(One Pat around), these Warders are Warlock/Warrior type mobs.

They cast a Shadow Bolt Volley dealing ~2000 Damage, they also SW:P people for 1000 DPS, and also a Unstable Affliction for 500 damage a tick... they also do a Shadow Burst for 1-2k (not sure the mechanics of it). Shadow resistance is recommmended when fighting these.

You must clear each pack of three Warders, or they will aggro when you engage the boss - one hour re-spawn timer.

They can be affected by Curse of Tongues, and hit for 2-4k on plate wearers.
