This strategy is written for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade (TBC 2.4.3), the Karazhan raid for 10 players. Mechanics and numbers match the fight on the Moonwell server.
The fourth Karazhan encounter, 10-player raid. After Moroes dies, talk to Barnes: he starts one of three plays. The play is chosen when the instance is first entered and does not change after a wipe. Taunt does not work on any of the actors.
Red Riding Hood
Grandmother waits on the stage. Answer her three times: The Big Bad Wolf appears and attacks 2 sec later. 2–4 sec after that, then every 30 sec, Little Red Riding Hood lands on a random player, even the tank: for 20 sec no armor or resistances, cannot attack or cast, +50% speed. The Wolf chases only that player, threat is kept, and the Wolf cannot be slowed. The target is faster than the Wolf: run in a circle around the stage, away from the raid, while DPS hold back damage. Terrifying Howl: 3-sec fear on everyone within 10 yd, every 20–50 sec. Wide Swipe: 4-sec stun in a 5 yd cone in front of the Wolf, every 20–40 sec.
Romulo and Julianne
Julianne attacks after 9 sec. Interrupt Eternal Affection: at 25 sec, then every 45–60 sec, 2.5-sec cast, heals her or Romulo for 46,250–53,750. Powerful Attraction stuns for 6 sec until the first damage, Blinding Passion hits for 1,500 and 3,000 over 4 sec. Dispel Devotion: Dispel Magic, Purge. At zero she drinks poison, and 12 sec later Romulo comes out. The raid stands behind him: Deadly Swathe hits in front, Backward Lunge hits one player behind for 1,900–2,100 and knocks him back. Dispel Daring the same way, and remove Poisoned Thrust as a poison: −10% stats per stack. 10 sec after he falls, Julianne raises both at full health, threat reset. From now on a fallen one lies for 10 sec and gets up at full health if the other did not fall within that time. Both down: victory. Keep their health even.
The Wizard of Oz
Dorothee attacks after 12 sec; she cannot be interrupted or stunned. Water Bolt about every 5 sec: 2,025–2,475 Frost damage on a random player. Frightened Scream: 2-sec fear on up to 3 players within 8 yd. Kill her first. Roar joins 5 sec after her, Strawman after 15 sec, Tinhead after 25 sec. Keep Roar locked with Fear or Scare Beast. Fire has a 50% chance to disorient Strawman for 6 sec: Burning Straw. Tinhead hits hardest, but every 6 sec Rust slows him by 10%, up to 80%: kill him last. Tito comes out after 36.5 sec if Dorothee is alive. If he dies before her, she casts without pause. After the four (Tito does not count), The Crone appears; she can be attacked after 9 sec. Chain Lightning from 10 sec, then every 15 sec: 2,775–3,225 Nature damage, up to 5 targets within 10 yd. It cannot be interrupted, so stand spread out. Three Cyclones move around the stage and throw everyone within 5 yd into the air.
Tanks
In Oz the main tank holds Tinhead, the second tank holds Roar.
Healers
Heal the Little Red Riding Hood target in advance: without armor the Wolf hits very hard.
Common mistakes
- The Little Red Riding Hood target runs through the raid: Terrifying Howl and Wide Swipe hit everyone around.
- Romulo and Julianne fell more than 10 sec apart: the first one gets up at full health.
- Tito was killed before Dorothee.
