Second to last boss in Blackwing Lair. This is the final boss you will fight before Nefarian.

This is a very complicated fight and is difficult to explain without seeing it.

Best reference for this fight:
http://www.wowwiki.com/Chromaggus

As with most of the fights in BWL, this fight is a ton easier once you've successfully killed him the first time.

Time Lapse breath is also known as "Hard Mode Chrommie."

Kommentar von oscillator

This week was my guilds first Time Lapse / Ignite Flesh Chromaggus combo. Hard Mode is right...harder than Nef for us. I advise tanking him in the lower room where you fight Ebonroc & Flamegor. You can use the cubbies in that room to postion your offtank behind Chromaggus with the appropriate healers & decursers. When the time lapse breath hits the offtank can run out of the cubbie & grab Chromaggus from behind instantly turning him away from the raid & sparing everyone.

Chromaggus

Setup:
Best is to keep him on the ramp where Ebonroc was. Tank below him, split the raid into two roughly even halves, the slightly healer-heavy one stands on top of the ramp behind the central pillar (can heal MT from there, but is not in LoS from Chromaggus), the DPS-heavy one stands behind the wall where it leads to Neffy (can easily dodge out of LoS there.

Fight:
Cleanse a ton. This is crucial, the debuffs should never stack up. DPSers dodge at 8-10 seconds left until Breath once they have the Bronze Affliction, later an they might get hit by one of the breath-weapons.
Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse, keep him tranq'ed, DPSers never get hit (unless it's Time Lapse, that is ok to be hit with), and at 20% open up all timered skills and give him hell. Then he should fall quickly.

Breaths:

Incinerate - just straight damage. Provided the MT never has the black affliction on him, just extra healing, no DPSer should ever get hit, the odd Tranq Hunter should quickly be healed up again.

Ignite Flesh - tricky. This is one where it is ab-so-lut-ely crucial that DPS dodges the breaths. Otherwise again, keep the black affliction off the MT, and you're fine.

Time Lapse - extremely tricky. Second MT needs to build aggro, run out of LoS when the breath comes, then the moment it hits jump in to where the MT was standing, and run back to generate aggro wen the effect is over. 2-3 tries, and it's one of the easiest breaths though :)

Corrosive Acid - Means a lot of extra damage on the MT, so needs a ton of healing. Otherwise the same old, same old. Get the DPSers to all dodge early enough, heal the odd tranq-shot hunter being hit, and it's all fine.

Frost Burn - Deadly if a caster gets hit. Should not get hit, so this is one of the easiest :)

He is really not that hard. Know the 5 breaths, perfect the setup a bit, don't fear Time Lapse (it's the easiest IMO), and get the DPSers to always dodge early enough (the last is what kills most raids in the long run, it costs too much healing then).

Then Chromaggus is dead ;)

>> BWL: Chromaggus Strategy

Chromaggus is a boss in Blackwing Lair, right before Nefarian. One of the most challenging aspects to Chromaggus is the randomness of his abilities. As the name suggests (derived from "khroma", the greek word for "color") (name can also come from Chromatic, which means he's powered by dragonflights from all colors), Chromaggus shimmers in various colours related to the palette of his current abilities. The abilities are determined upon instance creation, and will only be reset with the instance timer. Despite his canine appearence, he's actually a dragonkin. (It is possible that he was created as a result of Nefarian experimenting on captured Core Hounds, such as The Beast found in Upper Blackrock Spire, possibly by feeding or injecting dragon blood from various dragons from all dragonflights, since there are dry dragon corpses hanging around.)

Chromaggus Abilities
Frenzy: Increased attack speed and power every 15 secs. Tranquilize.
Skin Shimmering: Periodically changes weakness to a specific school of magic

Chromaggus Breaths: 2 out of 5 possible 360 degree LOS Breaths.
Corrosive Acid: Deals 875 to 1125 Nature damage every 3 secs. Armour reduced by 4-5k.
Incinerate: 3675-4275 Fire Damage.
Frost Burn: Attack speed reduced by 80%. Approximately 1400 Frost damage.
Ignite Flesh: 657-843 Fire damage every 3 seconds for 45 seconds.
Time Lapse: Arcane, Frozen in time! 6 second stun. Aggro reduced by 50%. *

* Similar to the Broodlord Encounter, all Warriors must generate as much aggro as they can. 1 Priest per Warrior for shield prior to breaths, Shaman heal currently aggro'd Warrior, while Druids ensure they are all topped off above 85%. Immediately following Alternative Breath: only Hunters, Mages, Rogues, and Warlocks get into LOS with Chromaggus to take the Time Lapse. Healers remain out of LOS with Chromaggus during the entire encounter. At 10 second warning before Time Lapse, all Warriors get out of LOS to ensure that one of them will pickup aggro. 1x designated Hunter goes out of LOS during Time Lapses to tranq. Once Time Lapse is casted, the OT that takes aggro moves onto the MT spot with Chromaggus and waits for Time Lapse stun to fade. Shaman move to exposed corner and heal whichever warrior is repositioning Chromaggus after Time Lapse fades. All players move out of LOS at 10 second warning before Alternative Breath. Rinse, repeat.

Chromaggus Afflictions:
Brood Affliction, Black: CURSE, Increases fire damage taken by 100%.
Brood Affliction, Blue: MAGIC, Burns 50 mana every 1 sec. Casting speed reduced by 50%
Brood Affliction, Bronze: NONE, Periodically stuns for 4 secs, use Hourglass Sand to dispel.
Brood Affliction, Green: POISON, Deals 250 damage every 5 secs. Healing effects reduced by 50%.
Brood Affliction, Red: DISEASE, Deals 50 damage every 3 secs. Heals Chromaggus on death.

Main Tank:
- Rogue pulls lever and Sprint/Vanishes towards the MT for the pull.
- MT stands smack in the middle of the entrance to Chromaggus' room.
- Consume Hourglass Sand as soon as you get Brood Affliction: Bronze.

Melee & Ranged DPS:
- DPS in between breaths and get out of LOS against the left wall during breaths.
- Manage your own HP with pots. If you catch a breath, whisper a healer.
- Mages, decurse of Black (Curse) when out of LOS for DPS. Prioritize on MTs.
- Hunters, tranq and consume Hourglass Sand when afflicted by Bronze.

Healers:
- Remain out of LOS with Chromaggus at ALL times. Similar to Firemaw.
- Druids, decurse Black (Curse) and cleanse Green (Poison). Prioritize on MTs.
- Priests, dispel Blue (Magic) and remove Red (Disease). 2x on Clense duty.
- Shaman, drop appropriate totems to remove Green (Poison) and Red (Disease).

All:
- During Breaths, GET OUT OF LOS WITH CHROMAGGUS.

Since the decursive nerf, it is important now to assign group cleansers/decursers. Ideally you want your mages to decurse as well, because druids will be tasked to decurse and abolish poisons. But even with the decursive nerf, this fight is doable, though it may be a bit tedious for the dispellers.

It can be very hard to get the right positions sorted out for Chrommagus, I found this link, it shows a way to sort of the positions for each class, and hiding spots etc. There are lots of other ways to sort classes out for positions.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does chrommagus drop 2 epics besides the 2 shoulders or is it one epic besides the 2 shoulders? I've never figured out if it varies or not. If it's 2, can it be 2 ERBs or 2 Claws of Chrommagus? Weird question I guess but i'm just curious.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yes Chrom drops like 3-4 epix very rarely he might drop 5, but he drops 2 shoulder and a separate epic. some times he might not drop any shoulders and just 2 random epix

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hahaha, I love that at the bottom of the loot table there's 3-4 pieces of *candy*!

My guild always jokes about "Candy Clouds" (ie., using the poison cloud from Sons of Hakkar before a lifedrain = Good Candy, Venoxis being kited around the bonfire while he farts poison clouds and sings "Kumbaya" = BAD CANDY), and I never really thought that a boss would literally drop candy.

Very Berry Cream. GG, Blizz.

Kommentar von Thottbot

He always drops 2 Set Shoulders
and 2 other epics.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this guys takes forever to down.... I would say 20-25 mins, depends how much DPS you got tho.

He almost always drops Chromatic Boots, 2 sets of shoulders always, and sword or shield.

Kommentar von Thottbot

why does elementium have to have a small drop rate..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ban that spam.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Stehlen Life, an alliance guild on Terenas apparently took Nefarian down a about a week ago. The farthest horde guild in BWL on our server currenly is Thralls Champions I believe. Can't wait for the horde to kill him to see the phat loot linked in Org lol.

Actually, up to this point Immortality has NOT killed Chromaggus post-patch. Their best attempt was about 8%, but I believe they will down him tonight. We got Chromaggus down just a few hours after EC.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is this guy also called the beast? Just did the BRS and didnt even get 1 epic drop, only drop was when guy skinned the beast for pristime scale : ( any1 with location would be great, i have cosmos map : )

Kommentar von Allakhazam

wow this is one hard fight,took us quite a few attempts but we took him down,now on to Nafarian.
so far we are the only guild on Dragonmaw to get this far,Kudos to all the members of Prominence for all thier hard work and dedication!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

All we've gotten from him is Priest shoulders =( like 6 of them over a period of 1 and a 1/2 months. I /crai.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

a level 1 boss.. what does he drop? 5xtough jerky?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

They have GOT to stop using the Corehound / Magmadar model, adding spikes, reskinning it and calling it a new things. ...painting it blue, chainging the heads, calling it a new thing. Its not a very good model in the first place, why do they keep changing the color of the heads and thinking we won't notice?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

7%? is that correct? been farming chroma for months now and still waiting for the drop ><

Kommentar von Allakhazam

what kinda dragonkin is chromaggus he looks similar to a corehound

Kommentar von Allakhazam

er nvm it's probably a chromatic dragonkin/drake.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Loot from Chromaggus Lifetime:
Pauldrons of Wrath
Elementium Threaded Cloak
Ashjre'thul, Crossbow of Smiting
Chromatically Tempered Sword
Elementium Reinforces Bulwark
Claw of Chromaggus

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well basically when we were pulling Chrom (We fight him down Ebonroc room in the walls for breaths) we used to have Rogues to go pull, sprint and run down but it seemed 50% of the time they would die.

So a good thing to do is to line your Warrior up at his spot, Hunter a little before and anyone go up to the lever and ask to be summoned, once they summon they get into position and you right click lever and accept summon straight away- puppy runs down, Hunter pulls to warrior and a flawless pull.

^.^

Just 1 question, has any1 actually managed to kill Nefarion up till now, or whoever is at the end of BWL?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just 1 question, has any1 actually managed to kill Nefarion up till now, or whoever is at the end of BWL?

There are 4 guilds on the Cenarius that have killed Nefarion. Dawn Eternal (5th server wide), AfterLife (6th server wide), The Sundering (7th server wide) and Encore. At this point there are 3 or 4 other guilds working on Chromaggus. Good Luck to all of them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've heard a lot about people using exploits to kill him, but appearantly they patched it at last.
My guild killed him for the first time today and it was quite a difficulty fight.
We tanked him in the archway between the room with the switch and the room with the drakes (Chromaggus facing in that direction).

Took us 4 tries to kill him but we didn't have 1 player die during the last.
I can only reckomend Nature Enemycastbar to anyway who wants to beat him. It makes your life a lot easier.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Easy loot, this boss is simple.

Hes a boss in Blackwing Lair. He drops some of the 2nd tier epic shoulder armor, and some other nice items.

Hes also not level 1 elite, hes a level 500 boss.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The random aspects of this fight make it pretty fun, it was a great experience learning it.

If anyone remembers bugged Time Lapse, that was the real fun time~

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Sounds like a bronze dragon name :-/

you can get a good idea of the place if you have WoWmapview- but it's mainly a bunch of big rectangular rooms stacked up, msotly the overlook the next one down.

Does anyone have any info on this boss, or better still, has anyone actually confronted him/her?
It's good to get a feel for the bosses and general layout of BWL. I get the feeling the whole place is still a little in the dark.

Wands Against Chromaggus, Phase 3 Classic
So with Chromaggus switching weaknesses to schools of magic and the recommendation that it's better to use a wand that does increased damage vs. casting spells he is strong against, I thought maybe someone might want a list of the best wands for each class & damage type.
For this list I tried to come up with a good variety of options, from very top most damage wands that may be hard to get, to wands that do respectable damage and are easy to get.
Don't ninja something another needs for every fight, for yourself for one fight!
All wands are organized from highest to lowest damage.

FY = of Fiery Wrath
AC = of Arcane Wrath
