Deconstructor is a mechanical construct built and engineered by
Mimiron to guard the Scrapyard area of Ulduar. He considers himself to
be Mimirons’ son and behaves like a little boy (a little boy
who loves calisthenics at least)

The Deconstructor is the first “gear check” of
Ulduar, but it isn’t the last and it certainly is not the
most difficult. The fight begins when you choose to engage the boss. He
can be misdirected or the tank can simply run up and slap
him. This is a two phase fight that requires an off tank for
adds that spawn from the junk piles around the room. During
phase one the fight is a pretty straight forward tank and spank.
All members of the raid will need to be aware of the debuffs of light
bomb and gravity bomb if they are afflicted. Set up a spot
for each member with the debuffs to run to until they expire. A typical
solution is to have those afflicted with one run to one scrap pile and
the other to run to the opposite side, making sure to stay within
healing range but just out of range to harm other players Every minute
he will use his Tympanic Tantrum and cause 80% damage to the raid, so
healers need to be on the ball. This will also slow the raid by 40%.
The timer for the tantrum is reset by the exposing of the
heart. Maximizing your raid's DPS will also minimize the
number of tantrums to be dealt with. Every 25% the Deconstructors heart
is exposed. At this time he does no damage and all damage done to the
heart is doubled to him when he retrieves it. The heart has 7
million/1.5 million HPs in heroic and regular modes
respectively. While the heart is active adds will spawn, there are
three types of adds that need to be dealt with.
[protip] Tanking Deconstructor at one of the side walls as opposed to
infront of the stairs will turn off the two scrap piles he is between
and reduce the number of adds by half and increase the range they must
travel to reach you![/protip]
