Trothak (Ring of Booty)TrashOn your way to the Ring of booty you will encounter more of the
Blacktooth Knuckledusters,
Bilge Rat Brinescale and
Blacktooth Scrappers, deal with their mechanics accordingly. But you will also see some new enemies, the
Cutwater Harpooner and
Irontide Crusher.
Boss TipsThe ring of booty is a 3 phase event similar to ring of blood quest line from the Burning Crusade's Nagrand zone. Note that the RP between each phase of the event takes a decent chunk of time so it is advised to pull mobs between events to save time.
Phase One: Catch the Pig. A greased up pig called Lightning will be tossed into the ring. It will run around randomly until caught. Click on the Pig to take a stack of grease off of it. After all 5 stacks have been removed the pig is caught and the phase ends.
Phase Two: Ludwig:
Ludwig Von Tortollan is a simple tank and spank encounter. Players have to deal with
Shell Bounce, various turtle shells he throws out that bound around the ring. Just don't get hit by them as they deal quite a large amount of damage and throw you backwards. Keep in mind that
Ludwig Von Tortollan scales with
Fortified and not
Tyrannical.
Phase Three: Trothak: This is the real deal boss fight for this event. He isn't a joke for melee as he does quite a bit of damage to melee. Luckily we are not melee and we are actually one of the best classes for this fight thanks to our pure single target damage and extra movement we get thanks to extra
Lava Surge procs. Most likely you will want to
Bloodlust this fight depending on sated timer. Especially on
Tyrannical so if
Bloodlust isn't up consider going to
Harlan Sweete and come back for lust timer.
- First big thing to know about this fight as Elemental Shaman is that we can take advantage of the two Neutral Target Dummies just off to the side of the boss room. Keep Flame Shock up on these dummies for extra Lava Surge procs. You can maintain 3 very easily.
- The extra Lava Burst will also help with added movement you will have to do if Shark Toss has been put on you. If you have a shark chasing you run the shark through a patch of Throw Chum that’s on the ground. This will Stun the shark and allow you to get away safely. Most groups usually have the healer get chased by the sharks throughout the fight as there is normally one shark out most of the time and DPS can continue to deal damage.
- Trothak will cast Rearm and charge towards the shark that has been out the longest, picking it back up and knocking and dealing damage to players within the line of the charge. He will then throw another shark out in a short while. Don’t be in between a shark and the boss at all times.
