Abilities & Strategy
Overview
Shannox will not appear until you have slain a large number of the enemies in the zone. Once engaged, Shannox will attack you with his two companions: Rageface and Riplimb. Shannox will throw his spear and lay down Crystal Prison Traps periodically while Rageface attacks players at random and Riplimb must be tanked. When either Rageface or Riplimb are defeated, Shannox will Frenzy. When Shannox is defeated, both Rageface and Riplimb will gain Frenzied Devotion.
Tanks

- Rageface fixates on targets at random.
- Use the time when Riplimb retrieves Shannox's spear to reset your applications of Jagged Tear.
Healers
- Rageface fixates on targets at random.
- Victims of Face Rage will need significant healing.
Damage Dealers
- Rageface can be imprisoned by the Crtystal Prison Traps Shannox drops on the ground.
- Rageface will fixate on random members of your raid.
- Bring down all three targets at nearly the same time to avoid the extra damage from Frenzy and Frenzied Devotion.
Immolation Trap
Shannox launches a fiery trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. Immolation Trap inflicts Fire damage, Fire damage every 3 sec., and increases the target's damage taken by 40% for 9 sec.
Crystal Prison Trap
Shannox launches a prison trap at a random player's location. The trap arms after 2 seconds, then detonates when either a player or one of Shannox's pets steps over the trap. The Crystal Prison trap encases the target in a block of magma crystal, preventing all movement and any other action. Destroying the crystal prison frees a trapped player.
Arcing Slash
Shannox inflicts 56.25% of normal melee damage in a 120 degree cone up to 10 yards in front of him, and inflicts Jagged Tear on his current target.
Jagged Tear
Shannox's Arcing Slash leaves a Jagged Tear that inflicts Physical damage every 3 sec. for 24 sec. This effect stacks.
Hurl Spear
Shannox hurls his spear at a location near Riplimb. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption. Riplimb will then break off from combat, fetch the spear, and return it to Shannox.
Frenzy
When the players defeat Riplimb or Rageface, Shannox enters a frenzy. This increases his Physical damage by 30% and attack speed by 30%. This effect stacks twice.
Magma Rupture
Once Riplimb has been slain, Shannox drives his spear into the ground instead of hurling it. This attack inflicts Fire damage and increases the Fire damage taken for all players by 40% for 1 min. The spear strike also triggers a cascade of molten eruptions around the impact location, inflicting Fire damage to enemies caught in an eruption.
Riplimb

Limb Rip

Jagged Tear
Riplimb's Limb Rip leaves a Jagged Tear that inflicts Physical damage every 3 sec. for 24 sec. This effect stacks.
Frenzied Devotion

Feeding Frenzy

Rageface
Rageface cannot be controlled, and darts about from enemy to enemy, changing targets periodically.
Face Rage
Rageface leaps at a random player, stunning and knocking them to the ground. Rageface begins to viciously maul the player, inflicting Physical damage every 0.5 sec. and the damage dealt increases over time. While Rageface mauls the player, all attacks against the beast will be critical strikes. Rageface will continue the mauling until his target is dead, or until he has taken.1% of total health.
