Utgarde Keep duo Dalronn the Controller and Skarvald the Constructor went down in flames (or Whirlwinds) in last week's Two Bosses Enter matchup, but we're not convinced that all UK bosses are whining nincompoops. This week's deathmatch pits another Utgarde Keep pair, Ingvar the Plunderer and Annhylde the Caller, against Azjol-Nerub's Krik'thir the Gatewatcher. While this duo seems almost as argumentative as the Dalronn/Skarvald duo, their teamwork seems a little more smooth. Will it be enough to overcome Krik'thir and his minions?
The ground rules:
* Assume that these foes share similar levels, health pools and a comparative overall damage output. * This match takes place in neutral territory. * Don't get caught up in game mechanics and what actual players might do in each encounter. * Focus on the three S's: style, story and scale.
The "hold onto it" method is a little trickier. Many boss fights have "phases" of the fight, during which certain conditions get a lot harsher. As a result, you want to get through the phase as quickly as possible. A good example of this dynamic is Kel'Thuzad. KT Big Bones himself doesn't really hit all that hard, and most of his damaging abilities are easily mitigated in other ways. (Don't stand in the circles, or interrupt his Frostbolt.)
But during Kel'Thuzad's third phase, he has a few helper friends come out. These big bugs need to be off-tanked. And while they don't start off hitting very hard, they stack a buff that will eventually mean they're one-shotting your off-tanks.
