Talk:Freezerburn

Moved the "strategy" to the discussion page since only some of it is correct. -nremtp78

Copied from main page: > Strategy > Pretty simple fight. He has a nasty AoE, "Defrost," that can one-shot most classes (18-20K observed, maybe more or less depending on gear). Fight him in the freezer to counter it. Note: EVERYONE in the group must be in the freezer, as the AoE hits everyone, even if they're standing up the ramp. It is unknown at this time whether the freezer mitigates the AoE, or if it removes it completely. Other than that, simple Tank and Spank. > > **note this strategy doesn't seem to work. Have pulled many times into the freezer and still hit with the AoE. > > Verified Strat 7/5/10 > Pre-ward the tank; use AoE blocker on pull to block Defrost from hitting the rest of the group. Defrost timer appears to be 40-45 seconds, spam stuns and stifles or use another AoE blocker. Did not matter which room mob was taken to, until we started the stun/stifle technique, Defrost went off on pull and every 40-45 secs afterwards.

The Truth About His AOE
Once engaged, Freezerburn opens with Defrost, a proximity-based elemental AOE on a 45 second non-modifiable timer. Defrost is not affected by stuns, stifles, or interrupts. He has 2 million HP, so if you sustain at least 45K DPS on him, he wont live long enough to cast it a second time.

Just like with any other AOE, your choices are to use some type of AOE blocker, ward the living hell out of people, or just cross your fingers and hope you survive. Whether he is engaged in the freezer or in the hallway is irrelevant as is whether you are positioned on the top or the bottom part of the hallway. -nremtp78
