3rd Boss of Rank 5 Brawlers Guild!
Just like Ixx, Prob is very much like the pandaria rares. He has two main abilities, Torrent, and Rain dance.
Torrent shoots a stream of water that will follow your character quickly across the screen. If it is not interupted, you will likely die, and quickly.
Rain Dance sends streams of watery snowflake looking balls of doom, that will likely devistate you character upon impact. I recommend avoiding this ability as well if possible.
1 - unlike the pandaria rare spawns, this rain dance does not target where you are standing. so it is possible to run into one. you have to watch out where they are going to land.
2 - he hits like a mac truck. if you have some defensive cooldowns then use them.
3 - extremely short enrage timer. you have to put the pressure on and keep it on. if he decides to rain dance too much then you are probably screwed.
4 - there's really only 1 way to do this fight. if RNG is bad then you are screwed. Like for instance if he decides to do torrent twice before your interrupt comes off cooldown. Or if he decides to sit there and pummel you for the whole fight. you really just have to pray that he will use the abilities that line up with your cooldowns
