The Opera Event - Karazhan Strategies

Opera Event - The Big Bad Wolf

This event is pretty fun, and the easiest of the three... if you can run. Big Bad Wolf has a few spells at hand. One of these is a AoE Fear that lasts for 3 seconds. Another is a 4-second stun he can cast on his current target. Have a tank bring the Big Bad Wolf into a corner and keep him there, and DPS like normal. Every so often he will randomly target a raid member and turn them into Little Red Riding Hood. Have the Little Red Riding Hood run around the perimeter of the room. All healers should focus on whoever has the debuff. Your tank should also continue to generate aggro, as after the debuff wears off, the Big Bad Wolf will go back to the person with most threat. DPS can continue, just watch your aggro gain. A helpful tip is to bubble the Little Red Riding Hood, as they will only last one or two hits at most.

Work on your kiting skills, and this fight shouldn't be much of a problem.

Opera Event - Romulo And Julianne

Another one of the Opera events is Romulo and Julianne. This fight starts with only Julianne. Julianne casts a major heal that needs to be interrupted. Have a few of your DPS on this. She also casts a Holy DoT, but the damage is bearable so just heal through it. She will also buff herself with Devotion, which will significantly reduce the cast time on her heal, so dispell it. DPS her down, and once her health is low, bring her to one side of the stage.

Once she's dead, Romulo joins the battle. Romulo is Julianne's hard-hitting counterpart. Romulo is able to buff himself with a spell called Daring, which makes him hit 35% harder and faster, so this needs to be dispelled immediately. Have your tank also keep disarming him every time the cooldown is up, as it helps immensely. Romulo has an instant cleave attack as well as an attack behind him. The attack behind him hits for about 2000 and has a knockback effect, so just heal through it. DPS Romulo down and bring him to the opposite edge of the stage, and watch your aggro.

Both of them now will resurrect and you have to fight them simultaneously, but there's a catch. If one of them dies, you have 10 seconds to kill the other one, or they will resurrect... again. We're gonna kill Romulo first, but make sure have both your tanks get aggro on the bosses (keep them separated, Misdirect helps). Keep Disarm on Romulo, and the fight goes just like normal. Keep an class that can interrupt on Julianne to stop the DoT and heals (she does heal Romulo). DPS Romulo down to about 5% and then switch targets. Julianne fights the same as the first part of the fight. Make sure you kill them both at the same time (within 10 seconds), and enjoy your Professer Plums.

Opera Event - The Wizard of Oz

The final opera event is the Wizard of Oz. This fight consists of two phases. First phase you have to fight Dorothee, Roar, Strawman, Tito, and Tinhead. Phast two you fight the Crone.

The kill order for this fight will be as such: Start with Dorothee, Tito, Strawman, Tinhead, then Roar. Time to get a little in-depth.

First, you have to contain the mobs. Let Dorothee just run around and shoot frostbolts as she can't be tanked. At about 50%, she will summon Tito (hits for about 1000). Roar should be tanked for a few seconds (get enough aggro so healers won't be attacked), then start fearing him. Strawman should be getting tanked by a Warlock or Mage with fire spells as fire disorients him. Tinhead needs to be kited around the stage (frostbolt and frost trap will slow him instantly, and he will gain a debuff over time that slows his speed, to a maximum of 80%.)

Start by nuking Dorothee down, she can't be tanked and shoots randomly. Once she summons Tito, throw a tank on him (Your other tank should be kiting Tinhead). Kill Tito once Dorothee is dead. Once Tito is killed move to Strawman. Strawman should be nearing death, so just DPS him down. Tinhead should be killed next, keep him tanked and burn him down. Finally kill Roar. This whole fight, he should be getting feared (Hunters can with Fear Beast, Priests can with Psychic Scream, Warlocks can with Fear and Death Coil). Once the other four have fallen, put a tank on Roar and bring him down.

After those five have had enough, the Crone will join. The Crone should be tanked on one side of the stage, and the ranged DPS should be on the other side. The Crone casts a Chain Lightning as well as summons cyclones that roam the stage. Make sure the raid avoids these cyclones, or they will go flying. This is a pretty straightforward fight, so just keep the heals rolling, and dps going, and you shouldn't have a problem.

Hope you enjoyed the show.
