[Raid] Tempest Keep: The Eye

[notsofamous]

• [ ] Kael'thas gates are open without killing the first 3 bosses.

• [x] Epics are dropping very often. I received 14 epics from trash in an average run.

• [x] First pack did not reset properly. Everything but 1 mob was killed, ran out to reset, everything spawned and ran to the point where the last remaining mob was when the pack reset.

Another reset issue:

• [x] All trash mobs in the instance can drop Mark of the Illidari (added in 2.1)

• [ ] The Bloodwarder Marshall patrolling the first corridor of the instance should have a RP yell interaction with the NPCs he stops at. Seen here: https://youtu.be/ANgFfobZYnE?t=68

• [ ] Astromancer missing abilities

• Blastwave 2400-2700 damage

• Molten Armor (infrequently casted?)

• [ ] Bloodwarder Legionnaire abilities are used very rarely

• [ ] Bloodwarder Marshall abilities are used very rarely

• [ ] Tempest Falconer Fire Shield does about half the damage of what tooltip states.

• [ ] Tempest Falconer has a strange AI where it shoots you with its bow but still wants to run and melee you, stops and shoots as CD is ready. Intended?

• [ ] Crystalcore Devastator (GUID 12549, entry 20040) is running while patrolling instead of walking.

• [ ] Crystalcore Devastator broken/missing abilities

Countercharge: Charges the caster with Arcane energy, adding 1497 to 1653 additional Arcane damage to melee attacks. This energy can also be released to interrupt an enemy spell. 50 yd range Counters an enemy's spell, preventing the enemy from casting that spell again for 10 sec. Targets multiple casters and is completely random. It doesn't make too much trouble though and is easy to deal with. and Charged Arcane Explosion: 3.7 sec cast Sends out a blast wave of magic, inflicting Arcane damage to nearby enemies. Value: 5550-6450 Radius: 20 yards.

The counter spell component of countercharge seems to be broken.

The knockback that they have is only doing 100 damage, wowhead comment (from 2.1) reports 2500.

These also seem to have a "knock away" ability which does about 2500 damage AE. Wiggfield , Antonidas

• [ ] Crystalcore Sentinel abilities used very rarely?

• [ ] Crystalcore Sentinel should emote when casting Overcharged Arcane Explosion "Crystalcore Sentinel's hand begins to glow with Arcane energy."

https://wow.gamepedia.com/Crystalcore_Sentinel https://www.wowhead.com/npc=20041/crystalcore-sentinel#comments

• [ ] Crystalcore Sentinel missing ability Trample (normal weapon damage)

• [ ] Crystalcore Sentinel stops attacking or moving on low HP. https://i.gyazo.com/e61474038f8591e238f09b2c84da5055.mp4 https://i.gyazo.com/db8736faecde34fbc0fe7c04e14d1fe5.mp4

• [ ] Crystalcore Mechanic not healing nearby robots.

  They'll repair (heal) the Crystalcore Sentinels / Devastators if given the chance. Kicking or shield bashing the repair doesn't interrupt it. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=20052/crystalcore-mechanic#comments

Heal Crystalcore Devastators/Sentinels (uninterruptable channeled spell that does 10k healing per second for 10 seconds; high casting rate, ignores los) http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Crystalcore_Mechanic

• [ ] Tempest-Smith should be buffing nearby robots while in combat. Takes a few minutes before they start using the buffs, and even then they are only used very shortly. (+50% damage don't seem like enough to "rapidly wipe the raid" or "increase their damage to an unreasonable amount")

they are sheepable and sapable/stunnable. Which is a good idea, since they heal/buff the devastators and to avoid the bombs of course

Can buff all Crystalcore NPCs which increases their damage to an unreasonable amount.

If not kept Crowd Controlled, they will boost their Crystalcore allies, rapidly wiping the raid.

Comments also speak of how you need to spam sheep these mobs, because if sheep breaks the raid will quickly wipe.

• Quotes:

  After this mobility test, we'll only have the final weapons check to complete. Golem. Command. Operational status report. I'll be glad when final testing of this unit is complete.

Context unclear.

• [ ] Astromancer Lord seems to not use any abilities the first 15 sec of the fight and then use all of them at once.

• [ ] Novice Astromancer should be immune to all CCs except stuns.

• [ ] Novice Astromancer Wowwiki claims that the mob should have a random ability, I don't think it's true that they would have just 1 ability (this video proves that wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW3b3HPjYpw). But it is possible that they have a random SET of abilities. Needs testing on retail.

• [ ] Nether Scryer missing ability: Arcane Blast (Blasts an enemy with Arcane magic, inflicting normal damage plus 3500 to 4500 and knocking the enemy back.)

There's a wowhead comment that states multiple abilities, couldn't find any other source for this. Probably not true, there's a lot of false information regarding trash in TK.

They seem to have a mass mind control, use mass dispel and have all burn their fear effect before the group. You do not want to have someone feared into a nearby group. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=20045/nether-scryer#comments:id=162884

• [ ] Crimson Hand Centurion weird behaviour from their Arcane Flurry

• [ ] Crimson Hand Battle Mage missing ability: Frost Attack

  These mobs have a frost attack that hits for 22000 - 23000 frost damage, that is only avoidable by catching it with grounding totem. https://www.wowhead.com/npc=20047/crimson-hand-battle-mage#comments:id=98194

Nerfed in 2.2 to 2090-2310 damage

• [ ] Crimson Hand Blood Knight not immune to cyclone.

• [ ] Crimson Hand Inquisitor should be using Mind Flay more often.
