FLEET MASTER SKALDRON

Boss 1 - Quel'Thalas Island | NPC ID: 600648

Status: Rogue/Warrior Boss - Heavy Melee Damage & Phase Control

Initial Yell: "Ahoy, landlubbers! Yer souls are forfeit to the deep!"

On Pull: FESTERING RASH (15848) is cast immediately. Healers prepare for raid-wide damage over time (DoT).

Combat Abilities & Rotation

Ability Name (ID)	Type	Cast Interval	Target	Tactical Notes (From Script Logic)
Hemorrhage (45897)	Tank Damage / DoT	7s	Tank	Frequent, stacking bleed effect. Tank should utilize active mitigation to minimize uptime.
Determined Stab (55104)	Tank Damage	11s	Tank	Heavy front-loaded damage. Follows Hemorrhage closely; requires prompt healing.
Piercing Jab (31551)	Armor Ignore	15s	Tank	Mitigation based on armor (e.g., Block) is less effective. Focus on health shields or absorb effects.
Ghoul Slash (70396)	Heavy Damage	30s	Tank	Longer cooldown, but likely the hardest-hitting strike. Save tank cooldowns for this or phase transitions.
Festering Rash (15848)	Raid DoT / Disease	Initial, then 120s	All Players	Healer Priority: This must be healed through immediately on pull and maintained every 2 minutes.
Storm Punch (56352)	Knockback / Utility	Phase Combo	Tank	Critical Phase Ability. Tank must position boss near a wall or edge to avoid being knocked out of range.
Smoke Bomb (7964)	Raid Debuff / Control	Phase Combo	All Players	Critical Phase Ability. Immediately follows Storm Punch. The DPS window is severely impacted by low visibility.

At each threshold, Skaldron executes the **Phase Combo** sequence: STORM PUNCH followed immediately by SMOKE BOMB.

75% HP Threshold: Random Yell: "Shiver me timbers! Taste the storm I command!" / "I’ll send ye flyin’ with thunder in yer bones!" / "Lightning and steel — yer end comes swift!"
Action: Phase Combo initiated. Tank braces for knockback; all players prepare for reduced visibility.
50% HP Threshold: Random Yell: "The storm descends! Ye'll never see me blade through the fog!" / "Feel the wrath of a thousand tempests!" / "Thunder roars — and so do I!"
Action: Second Phase Combo. DPS should clear the visibility debuff (if possible) or hold high-damage abilities until the fog clears.
15% HP Threshold (Final Blitz): Random Yell: "No quarter! I'll blast ye straight to the Maelstrom!" / "Even Davy Jones fears me thunder!" / "One last storm to sink ye all!"
Action: Final Phase Combo. This is a crucial point where the tank is knocked back and visibility drops while Skaldron is near death. Use *all* remaining cooldowns (Heroism/Bloodlust) to end the fight before the heavy rotation and DoTs overwhelm the group.

On Death: "Me gold... me power... gone to the cold sea gods..."

On Wipe: "Sail away, cowards! But the Captain's curse follows ye!"
