Warlord Kalithresh Warlord Kalitresh is the third and final boss of the Steamvault in Coilfang Reservoir . He is a good example of a male authority in Naga civilization . Strategy . As the last boss of the max - level Coilfang wing , Kalithresh is an appropriately difficult and time - consuming fight ; a gear check / DPS race with a twist . Around 600 DPS per DPS class is a good number ; assuming three DPS and a tank , this will end up with a combined group DPS output of around 2 . 2k , which will destroy the containers in a little under five seconds . He is fought in a room lined with containers called Naga Distillers , full of some unknown substance . The party must keep up steady DPS on him , as he has a fairly large amount of health , and he periodically reflects magic . His only other ability of note at this point is a randomly targeted Impale , which does 500 damage every 3 seconds . If he retargets someone before their Impale wears off , it will stack and refresh the duration , so healers must be paying attention . Every so often he shouts and begins to channel a spell to the closest Naga Distiller near him . At this point , the container becomes targetable , and the party must attack it . Note that the Warlord continues attacking while channeling , so the tank will still be taking damage . However , if he is not enraged his damage on any average geared tank will be negligible , so it ' s recommended everyone in the party moves DPS to the Naga Distiller , including the healer . It is imperative that the container be destroyed before he finishes channeling ( 10 seconds ) . If he manages to get the spell off , he enrages , increasing his attack speed by 75 % and his damage by 70 % . This ability will stack if more containers are not destroyed . Since they are only targetable while he ' s channeling , there ' s a certain urgency to this fight . As he will use this technique on the container close to him , a good technique to killing the containers quickly is if the tank places the boss next to each container . That way you maximize the time you have the whole group attacking the container . Just make sure you have someone healing the tank . As long as the party manages to kill each container before Kalithresh powers up from it , he will remain under control and easily handled . The Naga Distillers have about 10 , 000 hitpoints each , so its best to have all DPS and the tank switch to containers when it becomes available . If everyone is on it quickly , it only takes a few seconds to kill , so you shouldn ' t lose aggro . Then pull him to the next closest container , so you know which one he will target next . Rinse / repeat till he ' s dead . Dagger rogues : because DPS on the Distillers is probably the single most important aspect of this fight , and the time spent running around the tanks to try to find the " back " can mean the difference between an enrage and a broken Distiller , dagger rogues should rotate their camera so they can see the top of the container : a star indicates the " front " of the tank , so standing on the opposite side will enable dagger rogues to backstab and maximize their damage . Mages should cast Amplify Magic on the party beforehand , as all of Kalithresh ' s attacks are physical damage . Rogues and feral druids should save their energy for a container when the timing for a container is near . If you notice that your party doesn ' t break the containers fast enough , you can use this macro . It will mark the container with the Skull raid icon and send a Raid Warning to the party . codice _ 1 How to tank the boss . There are two common methods on how to tank the boss . 1 ) Choose which container to tank the boss near . Tank him near there . Make sure that container is the closest to the boss but also be far enough away that it will take him time to get there . This works best when you have more melee dps than ranged dps as the melee dps will not have to run as far . 2 ) Fight the boss in the center of the face on the floor right around where the mouth is open . Doing this situates him equidistant to all the containers and works best when you have more ranged than melee dps . The normal order which he typically follows for the containers is back left , front left , back right , front right when you are facing the boss before the fight . Facts about the containers : The channeling will not begin until the boss gets to the container yet the container is targetable when the bosses chooses it . No matter what , the dps stop what you are doing to attack the container . Each of the tanks has 10000 hp in normal mode . As a variant , once you have 2 or 3 containers in the same area destroyed , tank him there and use some method of slowing his movement , such as a hunter trap . When he goes for the next container , which will be further away at this point , you ' ll have an extra 2 - 3 seconds to destroy the container . During this time the tank should intercept the container and all DPS switch target . Mostly this technique works best for groups with ranged DPS . The more containers you destroy , the further he has to go to get to the next one , and the more time you gain from the trap - kite . Heroic . This fight in heroic is more or less the same , except that he hits harder , has substantially more hitpoints and each of the Naga Distillers has 14000 hp ( a 40 % increase from normal mode ) Quotes .
