- Stinky Tactics.
- This boss have to be kitted around lets say when we look at him MT group to right side 1st and dmg and kitte him down on right side keeping goadrotation at all times if im right the poison would have disapeared in the place where he is standing from beginning and main group can move there but but but MT group have to kitte him slow from 2nd pillar to 3rd pillar then when we look att him as he stands when we start MT group kitte and do dmg and goadrotation to left side far away from his start position and then backwards on left to his start position and main group in start position again on the left side from when we enter this is being repeated until he is down
 )
- Adds will spawn and OT tank´s pull em of from MT group with X-box or if there is ranger´s in the raid they pull em and have a tank on the side to fast pull em of the ranger, this is a long fight so be prepaired and focused all the time.
- DPS is on boss the 1st 10 secs then they are on adds.
- here is a little vidio i picked up for visual effect on how it can be done http://www.motionbox.com/videos/0a99d9b31c1ee7c287
- in the end i should end with downing Stinky and get Cokies )
- 1 - Tanking the Boss.
The path for kiting the boss is to the right hand side between the pillars and the wall, then across the bottom of the room and up the other side. We should aim to kill him somewhere at the top of the left hand side of the room, near to where he starts out and this should take about 7 - 10 minutes. This gives you some idea of the pace he has to be kited at. To get an idea of the pace, the MT can try practicing same as we practice the bane use in Vistrix. The kiting speed is very important - do it too fast and he'll fill the room with poison gas before we can take him down, too slow and the fart gas around him will start to spread killing the tank. The tank HAS to hold aggro at all times so it's a case of hit, move, hit, move. The boss has a melee attack that is not so dangerous to plate wearers but combined with the gas attack, the MT will need constant healing. The gas hits for around 800 per tick. He occasionally does a double attack that will hit very hard.
2 - The Adds.
Needless to say, everyone else (particularly cloth wearers) should stay out of the gas cloud. Tanks can go into it if chasing an add, but will need heals afterwards. The adds spawn 40 seconds into the fight and will go straight to the Boss. Becasue of the gas cloud, 2 tanks will have to go and get them and should be positioned close to the boss so they can pick up faster. Then it's just a case of burning them down before the next pair spawn. Last time I fought this guy, the adds were on a 60 second timer. Importantly, there must be ABSOLUTELY NO ranged attacks on the adds - all dps must hit them from melee range, just like fighting Kylikki. The adds' melee attack hits quite hard but they also have a ranged attack (called Swamp Ooze) and they'll use this if they cannot reach their target with a melee attack - it hits for about 3-4k damage. These guys are pretty much the same as the gargoyles.
Between the add waves we will have to hit the boss to get him down as they will keep spawning until he's dead. The key is to hit him VERY gently using dots or attacks that will not pull aggro. He can be hit with ranged or melee attacks as long as nobody tries to nuke him. Rangers can be put on the boss during the whole fight as long as they stand behind the MT and keep dps to an absolute minimum. Everyone needs to be aware that the moment the MT loses aggro on the boss, he will set out to chase his aggressor, trailing the gas cloud behind him - and he moves quick. If this happens then we will have to reset. It may even be worth nominating some people to dps the boss and just saying that everyone else deals with adds only. Assassins have a good attack that doesn't generate aggro but if they use it, they'll need to be in a group with a healer to keep them alive in the fart cloud.
