• Bewildering Strike: Disorients the current target (similar to Scatter Shot), causing 5 sec aggro loss
• Arcing Smash also applies (= refreshes) the Acidic Wound debuff on all targets hit

Phase 2 only

• Fel Acid Breath is cast on the Fel Rage target only
• Arcing Smash damage is increased to 12k and also deals a Mortal Strike type debuff which reduces healing taken by 50% for 6 sec
• Fel Rage (player): 30 sec debuff cast on a random raid member (see below) used every 90 seconds
• Fel Rage (self): stacking self-buff which increases damage dealt and forces Gurtogg to attack only the player with the Fel Rage debuff
