Gehennas

Gehennas is the third boss in Molten Core. He is a fire elemental and has two lava walker guards.

Gehennas’s Abilities

Gehannas has three abilities of note.

Gehennas Curse: This is an AoE spell. This curse reduces heals by 75% and is a major nuisance. It is curable, so de-cursing will be a big part of the druid and mages job in this encounter.

Shadow Bolt: This spell does 2000+ damage, and Gehennas uses it often. It is random so a player could get hit a couple of times in a row.

Rain of Fire: This is an AOE spell that looks similar to the warlock’s version. It does 700+ damage per second. Raid members should remember to evacuate the area, when Rain of Fire does go off.

Note The guards have a cleave attack which also stuns, which might be a surprise to first timers.

Strategy

First have the raid group split into six smaller groups. One five man tank group for each guard, one five man tank group for Gehennas, two five man heal groups, and the rest of the raid in a larger group at max range to stay out of Gehennas’s range.

The tank groups should be composed of one tank, one priest, one druid, one mage, and one of paladin, shaman, or warlock, they’d be responsible for keeping their tank alive and de-cursed.

The heal groups should have healers, mages and ranged abilities. The job for these two groups would be to heal the main tanks groups.

The rest of the raid should be mostly ranged and high DPS. These guys should help clear the adds first then jump in to help out with Gehennas.

When the main group pulls Gehennas, each guard group should have its hunter pull their guard away from Gehennas and finish him off. The hunters should do their pulls as soon as Gehennas is aggroed but not before. If the guards cleave the main tank for Gehennas things can turn ugly fast, so timing is important.

As the first guard is finished off, their group splits up. This group should help out the others with their tasks, with the only the high damage dealing players, helping to kill Gehennas. This is because staying bunched up in this fight is not a good idea. Gehennas’s AoE will cause major annoyance and difficulties for your healers and decursers if you are all bunched up, so try to stay out of large groups.

There should be dedicated de-cursers / healers for each group as well as de-cursers dedicated to the main tank who’s sole responsibilities are to de-curse and stay alive.

It would be good to have shadow protection potions for most raid members, and for the casters not to use fire spells as they have minimal effect on Gehennas.
