General Umbriss

General Umbriss is a twilight dragonspawn and the first boss of the Grim Batol 5-player dungeon in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

As Azeroth's champions and their red allies assault the gates of Grim Batol, the malefic General Umbriss leads the fortress's cultists and twilight dragonspawn defenders.

Abilities










Strategy
Periodically summons 1 Malignant Trogg plus 3 Trogg Dwellers, starting shortly after the pull. The malignant one is purple and always spawn on left side when you are facing General Umbriss. There will only be one malignant trogg alive at any given time. If the malignant trogg is CC'd, the next summon will only have 3 trogg dwellers.

The Malignant Troggs apply a stacking debuff on their melee target. It also has the curse Modgud's Malady. If it is killed near another trogg or the boss, he will spread the disease to other Troggs or General Umbriss, and enrage them. Therefore he must be killed away from other troggs and the boss. Alternatively, he could be CCed throughout the entire fight. To complete the achievement 'Umbrage for Umbriss', the malginant trogg should be CCed, and then released at around 10-15% and brought to the boss (either by a high threat dps, death grip, or a tank taunt) and killed.

Tank and melee must be careful to avoid Ground Siege. It's a front aoe, and Umbriss does not move while casting, so it is very easy to dodge.

Healer need to watch for Bleeding Wounds on tank, and heal the tank to full to prevent the debuff for doing any extra damage.

Range need to watch for Blitz being cast on them, and move away if it is. This works like the charge stun from Icehowl in Crusader's Coliseum. It charges the previous location of the targeted player. And therefore fairly trivial to move out if you pay attention.

At about 30%, Umbriss enrages (Frenzy). A hunter may use Tranquilizing Shot to remove it. Otherwise everyone should use any cooldowns left and burn him down before the damage on tank overwhelms the healer. Alternately, he may be kited.
