BWD: Omnotron Defense System

In this battle, you will be dealing with four different mechanical contraptions, each of which has totally different abilities.  If you are running DBM, you will get announcements of which robot you should be fighting.  Make sure you are always fighting the correct one!  If you are a frost mage, keep an eye on your elemental and make sure it always has the right target as well.

Let's take a look at each one's abilities:

Electron


If you get hit with Electron's Lightning Conductor attack, get away from everyone else or you will cause damage to them.  If he puts up an Unstable Shield, stop casting until it is done.  Hitting him while this is up will cause him to do a painful AOE.  Try to stay spread out as much as possible when Electron is up.  The whole Omnotron fight is pretty chaotic, so this shouldn't be too difficult.

Magmatron


The biggest effect to worry about with this guy is Acquiring Target.  If you get targeted by this, get away from everyone else.  Hopefully it's being announced in raid who is being hit by this so that the healers can get right on it.  When you are getting out of the way, be careful that nobody else is between you and Magmatron.  When he puts out a barrier, don't attack it.

Toxitron

Toxitron puts out Poison Clouds.  As you may imagine, you want to stay out of these.   When he casts Poison Protocol, he summons slimes that need to be burned down ASAP.  This will be your job. If one of the slimes targets you, however, get away.  Do NOT let that thing touch you!

Arcanotron


This guy drops a puddle on the ground... and this one you actually stand in! (I know, right?)  It gives a 50 percent increased damage buff to ranged.  He also has an ability called Power Conversion.  You can Spellsteal this!

The fight starts off with just one bot up, but then another will join in the fray and from that point on there will be two bots up at any given time.  You can only attack one of them, but they will both be using their special abilities.  This means if Toxitron and Magmatron are both up, you might be attacking Toxitron and his adds, but at the same time dodging the Acquiring Target.  The fight isn't too bad as long as you are paying close attention to your DBM and your raid leader.

Blackwing Descent -- Magmaw

Magmaw is one of those encounters that requires players to learn to "dance."  It's not a complicated dance, but miss the steps and you'll be guilty of wiping the raid!

Ranged DPS will be grouping up.  Follow your raid leader's instructions on where to start (a good place is to the left of Magmaw, just past the pile of rubble).  Ranged DPS and healers should all be stacked on top of each other.  As the encounter begins, start DPSing down Magmaw.  The dance will begin soon...

Magmaw will cast a spell called "Pillar of Flame" on one member of the party.  As soon as you see that start, move quickly to the other side of the room.  Blink is perfect for this and the cooldown times well with the Pillar of Flame cooldown, so you can rely on it to get you back and forth.  You must move quickly, because if you are caught by Pillar of Flame you will be blasted into the air, take damage from the spell and fall damage. Worse yet, when Magmaw casts PoF, lava parasites -- ugly, larvae-looking things -- will burst forth.  You land in the middle of those and you are toast.  Which brings us to the next point...

When you get to the other side of the room, turn around and use Blizzard to slow down and AOE the parasites.  You don't want them to reach your party or all hell will break loose and you will likely wipe.  Get those parasites down.  When the parasites are done, resume DPSing Magmaw.

Periodically, Magmaw will get staked and your target will change to the Exposed Head of Magmaw.  This is your chance to do crazy damage.  Hit that head with everything you've got -- blow your cooldowns, Time Warp, anything you have to do to maximize DPS.

Continue in this pattern, and Magmaw goes down pretty easy.
