Form 3 groups (lines) facing away from Ouru, with each group being 120 degrees around him. 3 groups are: Ranged DPS and healers, Main tank healers, and main tanks. He agro's like Ragnaros, only requiring someone to be in melee range to hold agro. He'll do an easily resistable knockback every 30 sec or so, hence the reason for 2 - 3 main tanks.

Every 1:30 he has a chance to submerge. When this happens, everyone splits up and avoids the underground rocks. After a few seconds he'll pop back up and you start over again. Also, a few adds will spawn, the dps must burn these down.

At 20% he enrages, hitting harder and faster. Everyone zergs zergs zergs, fears any adds and crosses their fingers. He will not submerge after 20%.

This is an optional boss in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. You must defeat the Twin Emperors and clear through the trash afterwards to reach Ouro. It is not required that you defeat C'thun first.

Do use the "peace symbol" or 120 degree strategy as outlined. It is important that the fragile ranged DPS classes step out of Ouro's Sand Blast range as it cycles. It is positively easy to avoid - CTRAID will warn you as will your countdown bar if you use Big Wigs.

Use your two thickest tanks to tank Ouro. They will rotate as Ouro sweeps the engaged tank away. The waiting tank must be on the ball and ready to Intercept when his partner is ejected. We Intercept from the direction of the main tank healer group and then rotate around 120 degrees to change Ouro's facing. This is to stop Ouro from Sand Blasting the engaged tank and reserve tank at the same time. If you get bad timing and a Sand Blast right after a Sweep it will at the very least get the reserve tank killed as he Intercepts in at the very best cause Ouro to submerge because no one is tanking him. Ouro will submerge if not engaged in about 3 seconds - not enough time for another off-tank to engage if needed.

Ouro's "hit box" is a little deceptive. When Intercepting in on Ouro on a tank transition, the Warrior must advance further after the Intercept stops to avoid submerges. Also, to apply Thunder Clap, the Warrior must move into the Ouro model or Thunder Clap will not apply due to range. This will also help the healers who are trying to dance at maximum range to heal the main tank.

Submerges are the trickiest part of the encounter and take a little experience to learn. Immediately when Ouro submerges everyone bugs out for the outer walls. Spread out until there is about 12 to 15 seconds left before Ouro submerges. At that point everyone returns to the middle of the room in a loose formation awaiting his arrival. Nature Protection potions can be used during this time to ward off the damage that the burrowing bugs do and to keep folks topped off in case they get punted into the air when Ouro emerges.

Rinse and repeat. Ouro seems to submerge less if DPS on him is high. We actually had him just submerge once in our last kill.

At 20% health Ouro will enter a hard enrage. He no longer submerges but will generate bugs every 20 seconds or so. He will also randomly target a raid member and hurl a boulder at them that does about 6000 points physical damage to plate wearers. If Ouro is not tanked during this phase he practically sprays boulders at the raid leading to a quick wipe.

At the 20% mark the two tanks should employ their defensive tricks as they engage Ouro. Shield Wall, Last Stand, Lifegiving Gem, etc. should be used in succession. Ouro still sweeps so make sure you pop your ability BEFORE you Intercept in. It is very very hard to keep a tank up without some sort of special aid during this phase. Titan flasks are highly recommended to learn the encounter as well. All DPS should be burning has hard as possible. If the tanks stay up, success is assured.

Off tanks and rogues are on bug duty for the most part. They are more useful to the raid dealing with bugs than applying damage to Ouro until the 20% mark. At that time, Priestly Fears, Frost Novas and the like delay the bugs long enough to kill Ouro.

As an added bonus, the teleport NPC behind Skeram will teleport you directly to C'Thun's outer hall if Ouro is killed - very helpful as you return over and over to C'Thun while learning that encounter. . .

Level: Boss
Location: Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in Silithus
Type: Not specified

Ouro the Great SandwormThe ancient Silithid Sand Worm, Ouro, is a being of legendary power. He is rumored to have been created by the Old God C'Thun himself as a mockery of life. He resides in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.

His skin is unnaturally thick, nearly impregnable. It's flexible and allows him to move with the speed and grace of a much smaller creature.

Phase One
Abilities
Sweep: 1k-2.5k physical damage (with AOE knockback, often result in temporary switch aggro to ranged group and sandblast ranged group). Keep in mind, usually after a sweep, a tank will lose aggro and a new tank will be on Ouro's aggro list. It is crucial that the tank who was swept not go in melee range, as Ouro will return to that warrior, and chances are that warrior will not be full health.
Sand Blast: 3.5k - 4.5k nature damage. Frontal breath affecting 180 degrees. You can fully resist it or not, damage is not reduced/blocked because it has an incapacitating effect that makes it a binary spell. Ouro sandblasts in the direction of the person in the raid with the highest threat and being hit by the sandblast clears all threat for that person. Sand Blast is every 20-25 seconds. It has 45 yards range and can be easily outranged.
Submerge - Burrows under the ground. Ouro becomes untargettable and undamagable. Ouro has a chance to submerge every 1.5minutes. He will not submerge if he is busy casting a Sand Blast or Sweep, else he will submerge (ie. the chance of submerging is totally random). It will also submerge if no player is in melee range of it.
Ground Rupture - 2k physical damage to anyone on top of Ouro when it reappears from a submerge.
Dirt Mound's Quake: With 200 NR, expect 1000 nature damage, with around 500 resisted. This is done when Ouro is submerged.
Scarabs: They hit for 300 on cloth, 40-150 on tanks. They will pick an initial target and will never change targets. They will despawn on their own after 45 seconds.
Ouro seems to give you about 10 seconds to get a MT in there when he pops up, otherwise he goes right back down. In order to determine where he will surface, it is advised that everyone in the raid stay near the center area (or predetermined area) near the end of the submerging phase. Once he appears, have multiple tanks on Ouro, to ensure he does not submerge again. Regardless of any deaths, Ouro will resurface with scarabs, they will despawn after 45 seconds so fears, frost nova, frost traps, and any forms of CC is adequate.

Usually he starts with a frontal cone of Sand Blast after popping up. It does not happen immediately so there is time for positioning shorting after resurfacing. Try to avoid that if you are not the MT. Don't stay over the Dirt Mound, as it hits multiple times (in fact, usually it hits til you die).

The raid should be positioned using 3 groups spread with 120

Summary
Although Ouro is optional he drops the pieces necessary for the Tier 2.5 legs for each of the classes. Once Cthun has been killed we will focus on Ouro.

1. Mob Composition

1. Ouro the Sandworm
2. Ouro Scarabs

2. Mob Characteristics
1.
Sweep
- An AoE knockback similar to a Wing Buffet. The sweep affects all targets in a 360 degree radius.

* 1000-2,500k Physical damage
* 30 Yard Range
* Knock back of 30 yards.
* 20 seconds between each cast.
2.
Sand Blast
- The RSTS (Random Targeting system) is used for this ability. Ouro will randomly turn and sandblast a player. All players in a frontal cone will be affected by the blast.

* 3,500 - 4600 Nature damage
* 100 Yard Range
* Can either be fully resisted or not resisted (binary)
* Used every 30-40 seconds.
3.
Dirt Mound's Quake
- A mound of dirt is disturbed by Ouro while he is submerged or randomly when he is below 20% health.

* 1350-1650 Nature damage
* 8 Yard Range
* Can either be resisted

4. Ouro Scarabs
- while Ouro is burrowed or below 20% health he will summon the scarabs.
- 300 physical damage to cloth (40-150 on plate).

3. General Strategy

1. Positioning

* Ouro Up Positioning
The raid will consist of 3 sub-groups arranged in a triangle with Ouro at the center.

- MT Group

The MT group will consist of 2 maintanks and be positioned at Ouro's head. MT's will be healed by the Main Heal group stationed with the Melee DPS group

- Ranged DPS Group

The Ranged DPS group will consist of all ranged DPS and their healers. They will be positioned just off of Ouro's right flank at max dps range with the healers behind them at max heal range.

- Melee DPS/Healer Group

The Melee DPS group will consist of all Melee DPS and all the remaining healers. They will be positioned just off of Ouro's left flank. Healers should be at max heal range of the MT's. Melee DPS will run in and run out of Melee range based on the Ouro SWEEP timer Mod.

* Phase 1

Initial Contact
The MT will run in an proximity aggro Ouro. Do not get too close to Ouro on the pull or you will suffer the ground damage from his emergence. After Ouro is emerged the MT will quickly close and engage Ouro.

While Ouro is UP
All the groups above should move to their positions in the Triangle. Transition healers should be assigned to the MT while the Raid is getting into position. The ranged group needs to move to max range with healers behind them at max heal range. The healers need to ensure that all members are healed to full health before a sandblast.

Once the MT has engaged Ouro, DPS should go all out as Ouro has a strong proximity aggro to the MT. Melee DPS should move out 5 seconds before the Sweep to avoid the damage. MT's should set up an Intercept Rotation so that everytime the Sweep occurs a MT intercepts Ouro to prevent a Burrow.

While Ouro is Burrowed
Every 90 seconds Ouro will Burrow. Once the burrow occurs the raid needs to move to the edges of the lair (similar to Onyxia and moving to the walls). while moving outward tremors will follow players to the Lair Walls. The tremors are teh scarabs which will appear. After the 15 second delay of moving to the walls all players need to run back to the middle and bring the scarabs with them where they will be AoE'd. MT's should remain spread out to pick up Ouro when he emerges. If a MT has a scarab on him he must call

The name "Ouro" comes from "Ouroboros", the serpent eating its own tail, symbolizing eternal renewal.

A little surprised noone's said anything, but this fella is just LOADED with references to Frank Herbert's Dune series. Jom Gabbar as a drop? Really? Or skin of the great sandworm? Heck, the thing even looks a lot like it's depiction in the old '84 movie adaptation.

sweep 2k-2.5k dmg vs all at his back and front (doing it every 5 time he hit tank)
sand blast 4k-4.5 nature dmg he do it in front and sometimes to left and rigth
dig he dig down making some quakes that are a bit nasty and fast and he too summon about 10-30 ouro scarabs (60 elite mob) that aggro the first spell they see (after my meaning).

If that's the whole lootlist I'm gonna be sick of Blizzard's leather-hating... Or druid-hating to be more specific.
Where's our items from the second hardest boss in the game, Blizz? -_-

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Still not as good as Asjre'Thul. Too fast for shooting cycled with aimed shot, and slowest is still best, since ammo isn't normalised.

He should drop
Ouro's Intact Hide and Skin of the Great Sandworm

My guild got him down to 2% :/ we where very happy ;D we are going for him after 3 days :)

When we killed Ouro after last server maint he dropped a trinket:

Absorb 900 damage within 20 secs
Cooldown timer : 2mins

if hes taken from tremors, hes still taken from dune cuz the tremors monters are obvious rippoffs of the sandworms from dune.

If you go through the guild websites of guilds that have killed him, then you'll see that chances are that is all he drops...

...unless something has a less than 2% chance to drop. Although I doubt that is the case.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I wish this boss wasn't optional --> More kills, more loot to discover. I hope that Blizz does that some day in the future when I still exist.

just read about this legendary worm called Ouroboros, who is a snake biting his own tail (symbol of eternity)... just wondered if the names perhaps are similar for a reason :)

actually those 3 non-quest drops are his only drops at this time (as of 1.10.2). Tigole posted this in the R&D forums

"Ouro's table was extended for 1.11."

so it looks like we'll see a few new items from ouro next patch.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

1.10.2 buffed ouro, Ouro Scarabs now much larger (2-3x as large), as well they now have around 10,900 hp, a large increase from the previous 4000 hp pre-patch

As well he now stays up for a max of 90 seconds, and apparently resubmerges if ranged holds aggro on him for more than a few seconds (though i don't know if the 2nd part is new)

Either way combined the changes have indeed made this fight in-line with a fight harder than the twin emps, which i believe is what they intended all along

Edit: If the drop rates can be trusted and he's been killed 60 unique times, you can only be 95% confidant that items over 4.87% chance have dropped
