WoW Crawth Dragonflight Boss

Crawth – The Lish Llrath, or Talon Toss, arena is quite literally for the birds these days. Crawth has taken up residence in the center of the arena and has no immediate plans to move out soon. Let’s see if we can get her to play ball… and leave.

Location: Algeth’ar Academy.

Crawth Trash Tips and Tricks

  • Guardian Sentry
    Before getting to Crawth, you have to fight a single Guardian Sentry on its own platform to unlock the boss platform.

    • Deadly Winds – Spawns a swirl on someone. After a few seconds it becomes a tornado which moves around and will stun and damage anyone hit. Move away from it.
    • Expel Intruders – Large AoE knockback and damage. Don’t stand in the circle. You can also line of sight it.
    • Storm Slash – Nature damage tankbuster. Use defensives and heal through.
  • Eagle Gauntlet
    The gauntlet will begin as soon as anyone jumps across to the platform. Make sure you’re ready before starting it!

    • Every Wave
      • Dodge the Dive Bomb as they come in, then stand close to the tank if possible!
    • Alpha Eagle
      • Call of the Flock – Must kick! Enrages all nearby eagles. If you miss the kick, soothe will remove the enrage, or stun/
        CC all affected enemies.
      • Gust – Frontal knockback and damage aimed at a random target. Sidestep or run through. Stand close to melee to avoid more easily.
    • Territorial Eagle
      • Peck – Stacking bleed on tank. Stun and CC to prevent refresh, use defensives or externals on tank at high stacks.

Crawth Boss Tips and Strategy

Abilities

  • Play Ball! is the main mechanic of the fight. After scoring goals, you’ll have one of the following effects:
    • Fire  Firestorm: For the rest of the fight, dodge the red swirls! Crawth is stunned and takes 75% extra damage for 12 sec.
    • Wind: Dodge Roving Cyclone. For the rest of the fight, winds also push you around constantly. Pick up Gale Force orbs for temporary immunity to the push.
  • Deafening Screech interrupts and deals increasing damage every cast.
  • Overpowering Gust is a frontal cone aimed at a random player. It will damage and knock everyone hit by it off the platform. This occurs approximately every 30 seconds.
  • Savage Peck is a tankbuster. It can be dodged and parried.


Throw balls into the goal!

All Roles

  • Play Ball! activates at 75% and 45% health. Facing boss from where you come in, left side is wind and right side is fire. Pick up balls by running over them, then using the Extra Action Button to throw it once you’re in the goal of your choice. If left unused, the balls will despawn and the goal counters will be reset the second time it occurs.
    • Save your offensive cooldowns for Fire  Firestorm. Crawth takes 75% bonus damage for 12 seconds when it activates! For the rest of the fight, dodge the red swirls!
    • Wind: Dodge Roving Cyclone. For the rest of the fight, winds also push you around constantly. Pick up Gale Force orbs for temporary immunity to the push as well as 45% haste for 20 seconds.
  • Always stay slightly spread out, but somewhat close to boss if possible.
  • Stop casting when Deafening Screech goes off! It will interrupt and school-lock you for 6 seconds!
  • Each cast will apply a stack of Sonic Vulnerability, which permanently increases its damage. You can only remove this by scoring goals during Play Ball!.
  • Sidestep Overpowering Gust if the boss turns to face you.

Tanks and Healers

Savage Peck tankbuster and DoT happens every ~15 seconds. It can be dodged and parried! Use defensives/
externals as needed.

Healers

  • Make sure everyone is topped before each screech. It does a large burst of damage. It will happen about every 23 seconds.
  • Stay slightly spread out, but somewhat close to boss if possible to sidestep Overpowering Gust.
  • Make sure you’re topped off when Crawth reaches 100 energy for Deafening Screech and use a defensive at higher stacks of Sonic Vulnerability.
  • Complete a set of goals to clear your Sonic Vulnerability stacks. Managing this is key to the fight.
  • Avoid overlapping lust with Gale Force due to overcapping haste for your global cooldown.

Standard

Pick one goal or the other, depending on your group comp. Do the other one second. Deal with mechanics as explained above.

Advanced Buff Stacking

This method is designed to take advantage of stacking powerful buff windows provided by the balls. DPS the boss for the first 50%. For the 75% Play Ball!, you’ll want to hold onto the balls until you will die from the next Deafening Screech cast (when Sonic Vulnerability is stacked too high, or the boss is at about 47% health, then throw them into the wind goal. This activates the winds and the Gale Force buff orbs. Push the boss past 45%, pick up the new balls as well as your orb, then throw them into the fire goal when cooldowns are available. The boss will now take 75% bonus damage while you have 45% bonus haste. Pop all your cooldowns and nuke the boss!
