Archimonde the Defiler was the left hand of the fallen titan, Sargeras. Archimonde was one of the greatest and darkest of the Eredar.
His ruthless and cunning personality quickly earned him station and power within the Eredar ranks, until finally he was one of the
first among them.
Abilities
- Doomfire: Leaves a trail of fire on the ground, which does 2400 fire damage per second on first tick, less with every following tick (occasionally feared people run into these and die)
- Fear: About every 30 seconds, Archimonde will fear the entire raid for 5-6 seconds.
- Airbust: A random person and everyone around them is hit for about 3000 damage and tossed into the air (high enough
for 100% fall damage). Tears of the Goddess (or some other type of slowfall effect) must be used right before hitting the ground or
you will die.
- Grip of the Legion: Dispellable curse debuff that deals 2500 damage every 3 seconds and lasts for 5 minutes.
- Soul Charge: Whenever anyone dies, the entire raid takes either 2-3k damage, is silenced or takes 50% more damage for 6 seconds
(depends on the class of the player who died). One death can often lead to a chain effect of soul charges which can quickly cause a wipe.
- Finger of Death: 20,000 shadow damage on a single target. Archimonde will begin casting this if nobody is in melee range.
- Hand of Death: 20,000 shadow damage to everyone in the raid + NPCs in the area. Instant wipe. Happens when he gets too close the
Well of Eternity (~20 yards).
