The Curator
Servant Quarters Attumen & Midnight Moroes Maiden of Virtue Opera Event The Curator Chess Event Terestian Illhoof Shade of Aran Netherspite Nightbane Prince Malchezaar The Curator is an Arcane Guardian boss in the Menagerie in Karazhan . It is considered to be the mid-point of Karazhan as this is the lowest-difficulty boss that drops Tier 4 Raid Set hand piece tokens.Abilities Summon Astral Flare - The Curator will spawn one Astral Flare every 10 seconds. This ability costs 10% of the Curator's mana. The flares have approximately 12,000 Hit Points and attack using Arcing Sear and dealing arcane damage to up to 3 players in melee range every second. Everyone needs to be spread out to avoid this damage. The flares deal only Arcane damage and obey threat rules, but are immune to taunt. Hateful Bolt - The Curator occasionally targets the second person on his aggro list with an arcane bolt that hits for approximately 4500 to 6000 Arcane damage. This ability is both fully and partially resistable.Evocation - Upon exhausting its mana pool by summoning one last astral flare, the Curator will channel evocation for 20 seconds. During this evocation all damage taken is increased by 200%. The Curator will not attack or summon flares during this spell. The list of "prime" targets for Hateful Bolts is reset at this time.Enrage - At 15%, it will enrage. This largely increases melee damage output and rate at which Hateful Bolts are cast. It will not summon Astral Flares or use evocation during this time. Berserk - If the Curator is not killed within 12 minutes, it will go berserk and end your raid quickly. Strategy The main tank will position the Curator in the center of the room, between the first pair of pillars. The Hateful Bolt Tank should use a suit of gear that includes at least 200 arcane resistance and will continue to attack the Curator throughout the fight to maintain second position in threat, not surpassing the tank but staying above the other players. Positioning for the other players depends on your individual raid setup. Melee-heavy groups may want to bunch up to kill the flares as quickly as possible, while caster/ranged-heavy groups may want to spread out as far as possible and attack from safe distance. Find what works best for your raid. After the Curator has nearly expended its mana, it will summon one final flare and begin channeling evocation. The raid will need to finish off the last flare and immediately focus all DPS on the Curator, as it will be taking 200% increased damage during this time. The fight will resume as it was earlier at the end of the evocation. After hitting 15%, the Curator will enrage, halting the summoning of flares and increasing melee damage output a great deal. This is the time for the tank to use Shield Wall or any other cooldowns available to stave off the additional damage.General Tips The Curator and Astral Flares are immune to all arcane damage. The Curator is also immune to all mana-draining abilities and spells. The Hateful Bolt tank should be kept at full health, as the target for Hateful Bolt will change if the current Hateful Bolt target drops too low. Class-specific Tips Priests can easily gain a full mana pool back during an evocation if Shadowfiend is cast at the most opportune time. Be aware though, that the Shadowfiend has been known to change targets should an Astral Flare hit it, rendering it much less effective than if it were attacking the vulnerable Curator. Priests should remember to refrain from the use of during an evocation, as the reflected damage could prove fatal if it critically strikes or you've sustained damage from flares. Shamans can maximize raid damage with a Bloodlust (or Heroism ) timed several seconds before an evocation. Considering the fact that it lasts 40 seconds, it will cause the last flare to die more quickly and give the raid much more time to deal as much damage as possible during an evocation. Warlocks - Timing a to tick during evocation can massively boost your damage dealt during this encounter. Casting during evocation can deal heavy instant damage and heal you for just as much. Mages - Save damage cooldowns for evocation. As a caster, the flares can prove to be annoying with spell interruption, and you'll miss out on a load of damage you could be applying to the curator when it's taking 200% extra damage.
