A new dawn in World of Petcraft raiding
A new single-boss raid for World of Petcraft. The boss comprises three sub-bosses: the cats Fermat, Faith and Reason, plus their adds: Drifting Fur and Furballs.
The encounter takes place in a large room with three cat baskets, one on each wall. The entrance is on the fourth side. Various oversized cat toys provide opportunities for line-of-sight tricks. At the start of the encounter, all three cats are asleep until aggroed. The room is full of Drifting Fur, and each cat produces one new Drifting Fur every 10 seconds.
Boss abilities:
1) Unfeasibly Cute. Every 30 seconds, Faith stuns all characters within 40 yards for 5 seconds with a Cuteness attack. This can be avoided by looking away at the relevant time.
2) Unfeasibly Heavy. Every 30 seconds (10 seconds after the Unfeasibly Cute timer), Fermat selects whoever's second on his threat list and pounces on them, pinning them to the floor for 10 seconds and causing 15% of their base health per second in crushing (Nature) damage.
3) Unfeasibly Friendly. Every 30 seconds (20 seconds after the Unfeasibly Cute timer), Reason picks a random character to Charge and mind control. That character can do nothing except Stroke Reason for 10 seconds. Each tick of Stroke produces one Drifting Fur.
4) Furball debuff. Each Beast in the raid (including bear and cat druids and hunter pets) produces one Furball every 25 seconds. The three cats each produce one every 15 seconds.
5) Any melee attack has a 5% chance of producing a Drifting Fur. Any non-fire magic attack similarly has a 5% chance. Fire attacks will never produce Drifting Fur (it's immediately burned); instead, they cause 3 x normal threat as the relevant cat gets irritated at having crispy fur.
Add abilities:
a) Drifting Fur applies one of the Cannot Breathe (5% of base health lost per second), Sneezing Fit (time between attacks increased by 100%) or Coated With Hair (armour loses 1 durability per 10 seconds due to extreme cleaning measures required) debuffs at random to each character within 20 yards. Drifting Fur can only be damaged by [Vacuum Cleaner], a 2-handed weapon (of no particular type) that can be crafted by Engineers, or by its epic equivalent the [Dyson Cleanerless Vacuum Bag]. Drifting Fur lasts 5 minutes, then disappears.
b) Furballs have a 15 yard diameter. Any character who stands in a Furball gains the [Eww, Icky] disease debuff two seconds later, which causes them to spend the next 15 seconds stunned as they clean themselves up. This debuff can be dispelled. Once produced, Furballs remain on the floor until someone stands in them or the encounter ends.
Suggestions for raid tactics to deal with this boss are welcome.
