Leotheras the Blind Abilities & Tips

Leotheras the Blind is the third boss of Serpentshrine Cavern.

Abilities

• Whirlwind: Leotheras will spin around the room in a fashion similar to the Battleguard Sartura encounter in Ahn'Qiraj. This ability deals direct damage and leaves a bleed dot. Leotheras resets all aggro after the whirlwind.

• Insidious Whisper: Debuff that summons an Inner Demon from up to five raid members. Each Inner Demon can be attacked only by the person it spawned from. If you do not kill your Inner Demon before Leotheras gets back into humanoid form you will become Mind Controlled for 10 minutes and can't get out of it unless killed. Inner Demons take increased damage from arcane, nature, and holy spells.
• Chaos Blast: Chaos Blast is Leotheras' only form of attacking while in demon form. It is a single target nuke that deals AoE damage around the target. Chaos Blast also leaves a stacking debuff that increases fire damage taken.

General Tips

• During the whirlwind, you need to be spread out and keep moving away from him to avoid getting hit. Be very careful when healing in this phase as you do not want to accumulate much aggro on Leotheras and have him kill you once he's done Whirlwinding. If you're a non-healer do not drink any healing potions so as to not risk getting any aggro on him.
• The bleed DoT from whirlwind can be removed by , Hand of Protection, Ice Block, and Stoneform.
• While in demon form, Leotheras should be tanked by a Warlock with high fire resistance. Nether Protection or Soul Link can further help mitigate the damage the warlock takes.
• Inner demons take extra damage from arcane, nature, and holy spells. If you are a healer and have a hard time killing your demon, take advantage of their spell vulnerability.
• Leotheras will no longer summon inner demons when his two forms split. At this point you must burn him down quickly as the combined damage of whirlwind and chaos blast is too much to survive for very long.
