Emeriss world boss impossible

is this actually killable?

theres genuinely so many mechanics going off all at the same time that it’s impossible to even touch the boss past like 50% hp because there’s

  1. spinning circles that stun you for 5 seconds, repeatedly, no diminishing returns
  2. mushrooms that 1 shot you spawning every .5 seconds
  3. Putrid Bolt going off every 1 second for 70k dmg on my 470 IL tank
  4. more

is this killable at all? anyone know?

I was just in a group that killed it and it was basically a graveyard run kill. This is the most broken thing I’ve ever seen in WoW. Obviously a total mess. Overtuned to a ridiculous impossible extent.

Yes, your issue is that your raid are dropping mushrooms everywhere. They need to stack more, I think.

Just throw more fodd… I mean, players at Emeriss and he falls down.
In fact, I just avoid Emeriss altogether and Lethon on classes with poor self-healing, because a raid wide 53k pulsing dmg aura is a BS healing check.
The other dragons are much easier.

40 people aint gonna stack. And you can’t anyway because you get flung all around the area into a bunch of other ground effects that don’t go away. The damage from all of it is insane too, it’s not just heroic dungeon level it’s M+ 15 level damage. Impossible.

I’m not saying you will or if it it’s even reasonable, but that’s seemingly how it should be done. The mushrooms have millions of health and spawn too fast, so they can’t really be killed, but thier AoE isn’t huge, so grouping them and kiting seems more viable.

yes but the methods i see to kill it are just as absurd as the fight itself

This was my experience when I got a kill on it. The skeletons littering the ground were amazing. :slight_smile:

It’s definitely way overtuned. If blizz released a current expac world boss with this kind of damage and mechanics, you can bet your bottom dollar that the forum would be absolutely flooded with non-stop complaints and a massive nerf would get pushed out in a week. But because it’s the anniversary event once a year, the scaling has gone all wonky and nobody seems to care.

All the smart players stay well above the fight and drop down to tag once the boss hits sub-5%.

Well, I helped kill it on my nelf main just yesterday. Everyone was dying every 3 seconds and respawning, but we did get her down. It sucked though, wasn’t a very fun fight. Just chaos.

Pretty sure they do not scale or you could just bring a gaggle of lv 10s.
But nobody really has nature resist and so, its just a zerg strat.

She’s the only dragon I skip when it’s her day. No thank you.

I haven’t tried this year yet, is it harder than the past years. It always seemed like a corpse run in the past.

Still a corpse run that usually ends in a boss reset.
