Regis The Elderly (often also referred to as RTE) is a boss in the Cow Level. This boss appears to be an elderly protection paladin consuming a mana biscuit. He begins the fight with only half mana. He has two phases that are relatively easy. They all are DPS races, each with a different twist.

Abilities
Each Phase has an aura which is not removable, and raid-wide in effect until the phase changes.

Phase 1 (DPS and Kick)

 * Health: ~2.500.000 HP
 * Crusader Aura: Increases mount speed by 10% (It is unknown why he has this on, as he never mounts during the fight)
 * Avernger's Shield: RTE Slowly casts Avenger's Shield, which is similar to paladin Avenger's Shield except it is a 5 second cast.
 * Holy Light: RTE Will cast Holy Light on himself. Do not kick this as it heals for less than your rogue would do in damage with an extra special.  Also, Curse of Tongues on RTE at all times will ensure a 20-30 second cast on this heal.
 * Holy Wrath: When RTE begins casting Holy Wrath, he takes 50% extra damage. At this point in phase 1 he becomes a dps race and you should burn all dps cooldowns at this time.  If Holy Wrath is cast on the raid it will do 2000 holy damage to everyone within 30 yards.  This spell is also subject to spell kickback and sufficient dps will keep it from ever being cast.
 * Cannot crit or crush

Phase 2 (Kite and AoE)
All spells used by EoD can be interrupted, reflected or spell stolen.
 * Health: ~3.000.000 HP

Preparation
Raid composition:
 * 1-4 healers (2 healers is better than 4)
 * 7-9 hunters (Threat free DPS!)
 * 11-12 damage dealers including at least 1 (better 2) Rogues

Phase 1: DPS
During this phase he will constantly try to cast Divine Shield, Holy Light, and finally Holy Wrath. The cast time on these spells is usually long enough that spell kickback alone will keep the cast time on them to around 30-50 seconds each. When the cast time reaches near the end, it should be interrupted by any interrupting source (shaman, Shadow priest, rogue, warrior) with the exception of Holy Wrath which will not affect any members of the raid. During this phase he has no agro table, so everyone can go all out on DPS. When Holy Wrath is cast, interrupted, or he is at 50% health, he begins phase 2.

Healing
There are only 2 sources of damage in this phase. Divine Shield and Holy Shield. Both can easily be healed through with a circle of healing priest or a resto druid lifeblooming the raid.

Trivia
- The essence of anger strongly resembles Sinistar, a boss from the old arcade game Sinistar. His quote "Beware - I live" is also said by Sinistar in the original game.
