User:Sheffi/Marionette

When the Elemental dies, the Marionette will assume his true form; a giant monstrosity of an ogre-mage. The battle starts when he is aggroed. Do not do this until the raid is properly spread out.

Rotation
The abilities are ordered in the order that the Marionette casts them in battle.



Strategy
The Marionette has a 10 second spell rotation, in the order listed above. During this time, he only melees once or twice, between Flame Rage and Frost Storm, with a speed of 1.0 and heavy damage. He uses chain lightning twice during every rotation, one after the other at the end of his rotation.

His attacks require players to spread out across the room, but two of his spells require certain players to come close to each other. These players must spread out again as quickly as possible. These two spells will be adressed later on.

Forked Lightning
Forked Lightning is just like Chain Lightning, but starting with two people taking damage, meaning it spreads twice as fast if your raid isn't properly spread out, and will result in a wipe. a single player can be hit multiple times, but there must be a jump to a different player between every time. If your raid is properly spread out, this shouldn't cause much trouble.

Imprisoning Blast
Since people should already be spread out, this should only affect one person. This person, however, is stunned, and Enchanted Chains will spawn and go towards him. The chains must be DPSd down before they reach the person, or he becomes mind controlled, with 1000% damage and 500% health.

Flame Rage
5 people are hit with this(2 on 10-man), and get Raging Flame. See Raging Effects for details about removal.

Frost Storm
5 people are hit with this (2 on 10-man), and get Raging Cold. See Raging Effects for details about removal.

Raging Effects
You can't heal people with Raging Effects, because all that does is double the damage done each second by the effect. The only way to remove the effects is to move close to someone with the opposite raging effect (raging cold with raging flame) and let it tick. Either one ticking while in range of another player afflicted removes a stack of the effect. Once the effect is removed, move back to your spots as quickly as possible.

Chain Lightning
Pretty basic attack, simply making sure that you are properly spread out. This attack's danger to the raid is increased by the fact that it is right after the frost storm, when people are coming together to remove the raging effect.
