FR gear and Onyxia Scale Cloak on this fight is very important if you think on taking down Firemaw

Good luck

Commento di 7069

As a Rogue, I always tended to go max FR for this fight.

Why? Because the more buffets you can resist, the longer you can stay in and do maximum sustained DPS. I can typically stay in the fight until I get 5 or 6 buffets, and then hide out of line of sight to bandage up. Usually, a Shaman is in my group for the fire resist totem, so I can grab an extra top-off heal from them. After waiting for the debuff to wear off, you can go in again.

A fun fight to execute once it is on farm status, but it's a real pain to learn the first time.

It's important at Firemaw that you don't stay and DPS on him all the time. That was the mistake in my guild when we first went to him. You will get some debuffs increasing fire damage taken. If you have more than 3 debuffs you should hide behind a wall.
It's important your melee DPS avoids the shadow flame as well, shadow flame hits for around 5000 damage even if you wear the cloak.

The positions of tanks and melee DPS can be a bit hard at Firemaw, here is a link to a picture.. http://www.anikki.com/share/wow/bwl_firemaw.jpg

Firemaw is the fourth boss in Blackwing Lair, after Broodlord Lashlayer and before Ebonroc. He drops the Tier 2 Epic Set gloves for all classes.

Like the other 2 drakes, Firemaw casts wing buffet and shadowflame. His unique drake ability is Flame Buffet (pronounced buff-it). Firemaw's flame buffet is a stackable and non-dispellable debuff that hits anyone within Firemaw's line of sight. It begins by doing 150 damage. And each tick that you are in LoS of Firemaw the debuff is renewed and stacks another time. Each time it stacks the damage increases by another 150. The Flame Buffet debuff will last for 16 seconds if not renewed. While you are not in the LoS of Firemaw you will not take any damage from Flame Buffet. The Flame Buffet is a Fire effect and can be resisted if you have sufficient fire resistance - it is a binary effect so you will either resist it entirely or take full damage, you will not resist it partially.

Firemaw should be tanked in the entrance to the room he guards, where the Broodlord Lashlayer was stationed. He should not however be pulled

without clearing the first few packs of Mobs in the room, the amount needing to be cleared depending on the skill of the raid, but most likely three.

He should be aggroed so that he is attacking the main tank inside the doorway and can be put out of sight by the raid if they hug the walls either side of him. This is necessary to negate the stack of Flame Buffet that quickly accumulates. One tank should stand in front of him to take aggro for most of the fight being healed from the right side of the room, however during his knockbacks the tank behind him will have to take over, healed by the left side.

DPS should stand, with the majority of the healers, on the right hand side of the room and get out of LoS when stacks reach about 10. Bandaging should be used on non tanks as much as possible as mana will be needed to heal tanks taking more damage from their lessened fire resistance.

As with all the other drakes, Firemaw's most deadly weapon is his shadowflame. In order to reduce the impact that this has it is considered wise to have priests cast a Power Word Shield on the MT just prior to this. Other tactics include having one or two healers using big heals and attempting to time them so they land the second after the shadowflame hits.

As with all BWL fights, it is important to manage aggro heavily here as wing buffet reduces the aggro on the tank who is hit by it. In a perfect kill the MT will never take a buffet and will be able to keep ahead of aggro, however if he does get hit by one aggro can get flighty later in the fight.

As in the next two bosses Ebonroc and Flamegor this tactic is almost the same.. i post it here below as it tend to be straight forward.

This guy is pretty tough for a first time run through.

Alright strat for melee: make sure you have all your FR on, and especially your ONYXIA SCALE CLOAK!!!!!!

Bring heal potions and bandages for close encounters. Whenever you get low on hp make sure you run away and get out of line of sight, then bandage up. Keep coming in while your tank is being healed and sundering aggro. Watch your debuffs because if flame buffet stacks up too much on you, you're likely about to be killed. Keep repeating process until he is dead, enjoy your epics!

Very likely to kill an over-leveled pug. There's just no easy way to explain to people "run and hide when you have a bunch of stacks".

Firemaw's Shadowflame doesn't do a DoT anymore, apparently as of 3.2.2. So don't bother with the Ony Cloaks, even for the tank.

Commento di Alatar1313

Just did this pretty easily with a tankadin and a healer. I pretty much just stood there and tanked him with seal of corruption up; I didn't even need seal of light with the healer there. As it turns out, the flame buffet caps at 50 stacks so I was only taking 7650 fire damage (which I assume was partially resisted with my fire aura up) each hit. The healer just stayed of line of sight for the most part; I didn't really need him all that often.

Commento di Shionsama

Soloed this guy today as a Shadowpriest (6444 gs). The only thing it requires is gear, really. The fire debuff will keep stacking and eventually kill you, so it's just a race to down him before he downs you. Use Shadowfiend early, and you will be able to summon a second one due to the new talent. Use this near the end + fade so he can tank the last bit of damage.

Dps down. Had 7 stacks on and still hadnt broken through my ice barrier.

Commento di Dannardi

Killed last night as a lvl 85 fury warrior.

Easily done, just put my back to a wall.

Commento di Morbius

Soloed this with my 85 DK in blood spec wearing Jade Forest greens and auction house blues. My equipped item level is 417. The Firemaw, Ebonroc and Flamegor fights are all the same, just tank and spank. Fight them in a corner to negate their knockback.
