Third boss encounter of Coilfang: Underbog. He has hunterlike abilities and a pet bear that soley melees. He will aimed shots, melee, and has an AoE "frost nova" trap. His bear does not despawn when he dies.

The Swamplord is a lot like a hunter, and is a pretty straight forward fight. His bear has a significantly more amount of health then the Swamplord himself. The bear does pretty minimal damage. The Swamplord has 3 main abilities: Aimed Shot, Freezing Trap, and multi shot. The boss will periodically use an AoE Freezing Trap (disarmable by rogues) which will freeze the whole group while he charges up an Aimed Shot. Other then that Swamplord will constantly multi shot a random target, dealing 700-1.3k damage. This is an easy fight, tank the bear, kill the Swamplord.

One thing to note is Claw's movement speed is very slow. As a warlock without Curse of Exhaustion, I was able to kite him all the way back to the hole in the wall my party came from without taking a single hit. When I reached the end, I turned around and was still able to outrun him without taking much damage. Taking Claw out of range (or out of line of sight) of Swamplord also removes his ability to enrage.

Another thing to watch is that he'll do a powerful knockback. One of my groupmates got punted literally to the entrance of the instance. Try to stay near a wall so the same doesn't happen to you.

The pet can be kited, A hunter can do this without any major problems. our hunter even killed him after he had kited him for a while, guess he got bored or something :P

We did this with four people, a rogue (me), a shadow priest healing, a feral druid tanking, and an affliction warlock. I went ahead and took the advice in this thread and figured I'd kite him around, which went actually quite well. We downed this encounter with no issues. It's worth noting that he is *immune* to crippling poison and gouge and such, so my kiting wasn't quite as graceful as I'd initially hoped. With a combination of sprint, evasion, and the 6,000 HP I have at level 64, it worked out just fine though.

Another thing to note about this fight is that around the corner to the left is a pat (one Bog Lord) which will walk right up to the corner where you'll be fighting Musel'ek. My guild always kills the pat first so that we don't agro it while fighting the Swamplord.

The kiting method worked really well for us.

I kited the bear no problem (lvl 64 hunter) and they downed the boss. I feign death'd and then we brought the bear down to about 40% until he reveals that he is a druid and turns friendly.

This druid is the last person to the quest you get by the Coilfang Reservoir meeting stone.

Swamplord
Abilities:
1.) Multi-Shot: Much like the hunter skill. Just spread out so that only 1 person is hit at a time.
2.) Aimed-Shot: Much like the hunter skill. Priests should shield whoever he is getting ready to hit with aimed shot.
3.) Freezing Trap: AE stun. Can be resisted, but don't bother trying. Just keep everyone topped off because he likes to aimed shot after droping the trap.

Claw:
Melee: Rather weak. Pet tanking is easiest solution.
Abilities: Armor reducing roar. Just keep him tanked far enough away from everyone else (15yd or so)

Tactics: Send your main tank in while your off tank peals Claw away before Claw can get his roar off (very annoying to have on the tank). Kill Swamplord and then take down Claw. Healers just need to keep everyone topped off so nobody dies after a freezing trap.

Heroic:

Let ur tank tank em both and heal, it's very easy..

A very effective strategy against the Claw is to keep him CCed at all time. Claw, as a bear, is a Beast, therefore druid's sleep (Hibernate) works fine on him. With the timer added in last patch (2.1) this works miracles.

Sleep the bear, kill the boss, continue with the bear.

Piece of cake with a druid in your team.

I have done heroic underbog like 10 times with friends mostly from the guild...I have 26,k armor and 15k health usually when I tank there.What I always do is tank both and have the rest of the party next to the bear...I have never encountered a single problem in this fight.

And FYI the Bog Lord that is next to him HAS to die before u try Musel'ek(it is also the most difficult part of the instance hands down)...

My 64 warlock attempted to fear the bear, and it was immune. That's not to say that the HUNTER version of fear (which is specifically designed for beasts) won't work, but a warlock fear he is apparently immune to on normal (non heroic).

Just did this last night and tried something interesting...

If you have a hunter, he can kite the bear just like Drak in UBRS. Just hit him with arcane shot when it's up and you can hold aggro all the way back down the hallway.

Meanwhile, have your whole group including healer tackle the boss so that he can't do any ranged damage. Once the boss is dead DPS the bear and when he gets to low health he transforms back to his embarressed Druidy self. Three or so more pulls and you're at the last boss :)

This boss is easysauce if you use this strat.

And yes, they are both immune to CC.

The druid is immune to any form of slowing, but its easy for hunter or mage (blink) to kite him and jsut keep moving down the hall and back again. Easysauce.

Commento di Thottbot

Just get the pet to tag the bear and then have your pet follow you, halfway up hall bear kills petr by then the boss is down to 50% and then just run back and forth job done, unless you have a hunter ofc;-)

Commento di Thottbot

can the bear be hibernated bu a druid you think?

Commento di Thottbot

our tactic was: DPS the boss down ASAP
I spammed arcane blast, that is a godsend in heroic burst fights... It is an easy boss.

Commento di Thottbot

After reading that Claw's roar reduces armor by 75%, we tried the following tactic:

Select someone to act as an Off Tank (even if he's not a plate wearer).

Focus your Main Tank on the bear, dragging him a little ways into the hallway. (You may want to kill the patroling Bog Giant first, though he can be avoided.)

Focus your Off Tank on the hunter, standing between him and the back of his cave to avoid getting knocked into the hallway.

Everybody else in the group - including squishy healers and spell casters - stand on top of Musel'ek! His melee power is really wimpy compared with his ranged attacks, and except for his freezing trap, his only multi-target abilities require range!

The only times you need to worry about health are
* when his knockback throws your Off Tank far enough away to shoot (for 2000+ dmg), and
* when his freeze trap allows him to run to shooting range (for 1500+ dmg to everyone in the group).

If you keep running back on top of him, he only seems able to shoot off a single high-dps ranged attack. And if your Main Tank can keep repositioning himself (and the bear) close to your healer's max range, you should be able to work your way through these bosses quickly!

Commento di Thottbot

if your tank has spell reflect just pop it once in awhile to stop the frost trap , then he cant aimed shot anyone

Commento di Thottbot

as paladin tank, i just tanked em both at the same time. they barely even hurt. and doing it that way, most of the time when the boss used his trap, the bear would break it allowing me to just pick the boss up again. seriously, quit getting so damn scared about a lil armor debuff, it's not that bad. any decently geared tank is going to have at least 30% raw avoidance and the rest in block.

Commento di Thottbot

You say immune to CC. Do you mean on Heroic? Because as a druid I put him to sleep several times.

Commento di Thottbot

Dude i just did it on heroic cleared whole place in an hour and a half no wipes, we ran straight up to this guy, dps'd him down, ignored the bear mostly. I'm a hunter i just misdirected the bear onto the tank and dpsed boss. easy

Commento di Thottbot

Is he the last boss?

Commento di Thottbot

Claw can be CC'd by a druid. It is possible to hibernate him through the entire fight making it even easier.

Commento di Thottbot

I just tanked the bear/druid as a 64 rogue, wasnt to hard just keep him away from the hunter, make sure evasion is up and ghostly strike, i got 6k hp and it didnt take too long to go down with bears debuff, make sure you stay in range of your healer.

Commento di Allakhazam

The idea to this boss...as many people have posted before me...is simply having your hunter kite the bear as far as he can. No one else needs to do anything besides max out damage on the Swamplord.

For any hunter who has never kited even the slightest gnoll before...here is a quick AND simple way to do it...in only 4 steps!

Step 1) Turn on Aspect of the Cheeta.
Step 2) Lay down a frost Trap.
Step 3) Have the tank charge the main boss, Swamplord Musel'ek, and Distract shot the bear.
Step 4) Run as far as you can...and wait for the signal that the boss is down. Feign Death and let the bear run back.

Simple as that :-)

This mini boss has a nasty knockback (~1500+ damage), hit hits pretty hard, and he uses aimed shot and multi-shot in addition to the mass forst trap mentioned above. The frost trap is avoidable as it has a short arming time.

There's an odd feature of this mob that I presume is a bug; As a Horde group we got flagged for PvP when we fought him. Have any alliance characters experienced the same problem?

Commento di Allakhazam

As the druid with him has the horde bearform I assumed he was a horde npc, hence why we got pvp flagged after attacking him (as alliance). As an addition to the strategy, the bear does a roar that decreases armour by 75% so make sure he's kept away from the tank.

Commento di Allakhazam

Kiting is definitely the plan.

Warrior charge in as a hunter pulls the bear. Kite him like Drek. Far. We had ours kited for too short and nearly killed the tank.

Get close to the hunter so he doesn't range. Have the tank closest to that back wall, hunter, then the rest of the group (close) drops a freeze trap and aim shots. The trap may be reflectable. Not sure.

After the hunter is about 20% left, let the bear come back.

*Spoiler!*

At 20% the bear turns friendly.

Commento di Allakhazam

Pretty Simple.

Have someone kite his pet bear while everyone moves to melee range. DPS him down and then move on to pet. He has a freeze he can do but it shouldn't be a real problem as it is short lived.

I've found it far easier to burn down the druid (bear) first. Most of the groups i've been in have had an off tank /off healer so the priest or druid can concentrate on healing the tank who is on the boss . off tank type drags the bear a bit away from boss and everyone else burns it down, at 20% it goes and sits in a corner - its then easy thing to kill the boss. Have yet to use this kiting strat as why change what works so well ^^

Commento di Allakhazam

ya those are nice shoulders, i did it twice so far, no drop ><, i guess i gotta go for it a few more times

His knockback is HUGE, like a football field or so :P From his camp he knocked me off a cliff waaaaay down the path opposite him. To get back you pretty much have to walk through the entire instance and one way or another the fight will be over before then.

So yeah, tank with your back to the wall.
