General Umbriss
Bleeding Wound
Blitz
Ground Siege
Frenzy
Summon Skardyn
- Malignant Trogg
Modgud's Malice
Modgud's Malady
Claw Puncture
- Trogg Dweller
Claw Puncture
General Umbriss can be a difficult fight that players may often wantto skip on heroic difficulty. He will bleed the tank with Bleeding Wound, which requires the player to be healed above90% health to remmove the debuff. General Umbriss will target thelocation of a random player and begin to charge there after a short timer,dealing deadly damage to anyone on the path or at the location; quickly moveaway from the targeted location and be sure not to be in his charge path. Hewill also frequently target a nearby enemy with
Ground Siege,dealing very high Physical damage and stunning anyone in the area.
The main theme of the fight though is the Summon Skardyn abilityGeneral Umbriss uses to summon 1 Malignant Trogg and3 Trogg Dwellers. While the Trogg Dwellers can simplybe killed without worry, the Malignant Trogg must not die whilenear General Umbriss. When the Malignant Trogg dies, itcasts
Modgud's Malice on all nearby targets; if
Modgud's Malice hits a Trogg Dweller, it willturn them into a Malignant Trogg. If
Modgud's Malicehits General Umbriss, it will increase his damage done by 100%,stacking each time. Because of this, it's important to either crowd controlthe Malignant Trogg for the entire fight, or kill it by itselfon the side. Do not mindlessly AoE the trolls or you will likely wipe.
