Hydross the Unstable
Serpentshrine Cavern · The Burning Crusade
Overview
Hydross the Unstable is a corrupted water elemental held in Serpentshrine Cavern.
Strategy
Hydross changes state depending on where he stands. In his pure form, he applies Mark of Hydross, which increases the Frost damage the group takes, and traps players in a Water Tomb. When the tank drags him out of the central circle, he becomes corrupted: he then applies Mark of Corruption, which increases the Nature damage taken, and coats a player in Vile Sludge. Each mark grows stronger over time: switch forms regularly, with one tank geared against Frost and another against Nature. Each time he switches, he spawns elementals that you must kill.
