Have a mage cast Detect Magic on Tinhead. "Rust" is actually a buff so this is required to see how much it has stacked. A tank should hold aggro until Tinhead is sufficiently Rusted to kite.
[[Sunder Armor]] causes Tinhead to be slowed. When applied 5 times his movement is at about 80% and then stacks as you apply more and more. with enough sunders he will move at 10% movement speed, permitting the tank to kite him. Keep applying sunders and moving around him, his cleave can kill casters and melee, so either ask for space or run back and forth between the walls popping shield block and applying another sunder as you run past. As more of the other adds go down, you'll find that you have more and more space to move him around.

Abilities

  • Basic Melee - 1500 to 2000 on plate.
  • Cleave - 5 yd range. Instant. Inflicts Physical damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, affecting up to 3 targets. Around 4000 damage to cloth.
  • Rust - Slow speed by 10%, stacking 8 times. This is a purely scripted effect.

Strategy

Contrary to popular (and incorrect) belief, Frost spells and Sunder Armor has no effect on the rusting of Tinhead; only time allows the stacking of more rusting on Tinhead. 30 seconds after Dorothee spawns Tinhead will gain the first Rust, and will stack another every 6 seconds afterwards until 8. He remains slowed forever.

Have a mage cast Detect Magic on Tinhead. "Rust" is actually a buff so this is required to see how much it has stacked. A tank should hold aggro until Tinhead is sufficiently Rusted to kite.

His cleave can kill casters and melee, so either ask for space or run back and forth between the walls popping shield block and applying another sunder as you run past. As more of the other adds go down, you'll find that you have more and more space to move him around.

Useful tip: Kill Tinhead last, while kiting him. He's a good source to regen some mana aswell. Tinhead can easily be wanded to death.
