Kultak looks pretty mean and well he is. I have to say this fight really makes me thankful we have the best healing team on the server. The curing on this fight is brutal. Add control is tough but achievable, Tanking Kultak is meh not to difficult, there is one significant joust but what wins this fight is having healers that are on their game.

Known Info

Kultak has quite a few effects he tosses out but only a few matter and those are listed below. The mechanics of this fight are pretty cut and dry split tank Kultak from his adds of which there are four. Joust Frenzied slice and cure the nasty raid killing curse.

Melee Abilities

• 95% Slashing
• 5% Disease

Healing Abilities

• 90% Consume Soul
• 10% Deathly Touch

Non Melee Abilities

• Kultak's Order (33 second timer)
• Damage Type: Crushing

Nasty curse that hit for 4 ticks for about 600 - 900 damage, this must be cured or on termination it will inflict 880% of max damage to all targets in the area of effect. This is the whole fight pretty much mis this cure and game over.

Kultak's Cruelty

• Kultak's Cruelty (this is what happens if you do not cure the above curse)
• Damage Type: YOUR DEAD!

Inflicts 880% of max damage to all targets in the area of effect.

• Deathly Touch (35 second timer)
• Damage Type: Disease

This is where high critical mitigation and high resistances will save your bacon. This effect hits for massive amounts of damage to the tune of 31k - 57k but it is greatly reduced with high disease resist and about 25 30% crit mit. Even then you may want anti-death for insurance.

Frenzied Slice

• Frenzied Slice (42 second timer)
• Damage Type: Slashing

This is an AE proximity scaled effect that can be healed though if you raid jousts beyond 15 meters from Kultak. The joust point is shown in the diagram below.
