Archimonde Tactics 101

Phase 1 100% > 70%
I felt it was needed to post this picture I made yesterday :D It came up on my screen as I started computer today.. and being such a wonderous creation IT WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN! So here we go!



Phase 2 70-40%

Keep up the ping-pong crap from phase 1, or pic above. Just do it closer to the huge freaking pool tank makes. (will write more about this below).

At Phase two he will give one of the tanks a Black hole effect debuff, which transports that target and Anyone standing in it to another 'Realm'. This effect should be taken to the very edge of the room, as it will leave a Huge fucking pool on the ground, and will last for the rest of the fight.
In this other area you will then kill a big add (who is tanked), while small adds starts fixate on random people in it, and if they reach their chosen target, they will fling him/her off the platform into space. So kill these first whenever one is up (You can also slow them!).
*Hunters and other ranged for this area is prefered, no melee* Obviously also take a healer!

For those of us not going into this other realm, we will stay at the normal platform and position boss about 15 yards away from the black holes edge. Pretty much ranged takes the flags melee/tanks used, and tanks/melee uses the ones closer to pool.

This pool will also spawn a shadowfiend add, this add can be STUNNED and SLOWED, so make sure to do just that. The add in question also takes first PRIO out of anything! it just simply must die. For each blackhole we get, there will another add, so if this phase takes too long... we will whip Saga or have 3-5 adds spawning at once.

Phase 2.5 55% > 40% (Just extra shit to handle, while in Phase 2)
Archimonde being the huge cunt he is, will also start spawning a Fel Overfiend which needs to be tanked, and three other 'hounds'. And just to make it interesting, this happends *every 30sec's* (Edit: the fel stalkers or hounds, cannot be tanked).

Ranged will destroy mainly hounds and whatever else they can get their dots up on, but hounds are your First Priority.(unless a shadowfiend is up).
These hounds also have some retarded ground effect around them, so try not to stand ontop of them, they fixate at random. Just move away from them, but the rest of you who is not gnawed upon, keep stacking!
*He stops using his knock-up ability in Phase 2+ so Dont worry about stacking for better heals.*

Phase 3 40% > 0%
In this last phase, we wont have any more black holes spawning or adds coming from the voids to worry about. We will instead Notice directly as the phase begins, as Archimonde will start calling a apocalyptic FEL ARMY of Huge freaking golems that rains down on the platform. There will be about 90% of the platform covered in Big green damage circles you need to stay out of, the further away you are the less damage you take.

Luckily not all of them will spawn a golem, but we will still have about 4-6 of them? One of them should be taunted by the Off-tank and taken away from others, and then nuked down. Repeat this until all are gone, then go nuts on boss.
If they are tanked together they will heal eachother by 8% of their maximum health each 1-3 seconds....

Happy hunting, this is all I remember, but i also only made it to 19% so some shit may change, but also nice to have something as a backbone.

Ps. His fel army rain is pretty epic the first times you see it. ^^

As twim said Keep up the ping-pong rotation.it's pretty comfortable for range & healer to spread out and stack up again and soak dat purple thing in phase 1 .
