Es una carrera de DPS y solo un par de cosas de las que preocuparse:
Habilidades:
Lunge: Pilla al personaje con más agro por unos segundos (MT) y ataca al segundo en agro (OT), también stunea a los personajes cercanos.
Rock Shards: Durante el combate caerán unas piedras encima de alguien, esta persona no puede evitar el daño (7K), pero también hace daño a los personajes cercanos y este si es evitable moviendose lejos.
Choking Cloud: A un objetivo random, le mete una nube que hace daño y reduce el Hit un 50%, salir de la nube.
Enrage: Después de 5 minutos y Archavon mata la raid
SETUP RAID 10 : 2 Tankes - 2 Healers - 6 DPS
SETUP RAID 25 : 2 Tankes - 5 Healers - 18 DPS
DPS necesario:
On Normal Difficulty, with Archavon's health at 2,300,900 HP:
Se necesita una raid con 7700+ DPS. Los 6 dps tendrían que poder mantener 1100 de dps durante 5 mins.
* On Heroic Difficulty, with Archavon's health at 9,970,700 HP:
Se necesita una raid con 33,300+ DPS.
(Example: With two tanks and five healers, the tanks must never go below 800 DPS and the remaining members cannot go below 1600
estrategia sencilla,
>Se tankea en el centro de la sala, nadie supera al MT ni al OffTank en agro.
>Los dps y healers se situan en círculo separados alrededor del Boss pare reducir el daño de las rocas que caen.
> Todo el mundo se aparta de las nubes
>Cuando el boss hace Lunge al MT, el OffTank se pilla el boss , missDirect y cambio de focus Heal.

Tactics
Archavon the Stone Watcher is a quick raid encounter (like Onyxia or Magtheridon) in Lake Wintergrasp, but only available when your faction controls the area.
This encounter with Archavon is a DPS race with only a few mechanics to watch out for:
* Every so often he will start shooting rock spikes at a random raid member. This person cannot avoid the damage (around 7k). However, they can damage other people around that person. Just make sure you aren't unnecessarily damaging others or getting damaged by moving away.
* He will also randomly jump/charge towards a random raid member and leave a white cloud on the floor which will do ~2k nature damage per tick if you are standing in it. After he spawns the cloud he will stand still for a couple seconds then run back towards the main tank.
* The offtank comes into play when Archavon stomps and stuns all raid members followed by the emote "Archavon the Stone Watcher lunges for
It is common for players who have just recently won the Wintergrasp game to go straight down into Archavon's vault for an attempt. Do your research on whomever you PUG and make sure they have a high sustained DPS.
Archavon is on a hard enrage timer (5 minutes) that will boost his damage 8-fold and immediately wipe out the raid if he is not killed quickly enough.
* On Normal Difficulty, with Archavon's health at 2,300,900 HP, the raid as a whole needs to output on average at least 7700+ DPS. (Example: With two tanks and two healers, the tanks must never go below 550 DPS and the remaining members cannot go below 1100 DPS)
* On Heroic Difficulty, with Archavon's health at 9,970,700 HP, the raid as a whole needs to output on average at least 33,300+ DPS. (Example: With two tanks and five healers, the tanks must never go below 800 DPS and the remaining members cannot go below 1600 DPS)
Loot
On Normal (10 man), he drops two items, which can be any random T7(10) set piece for any class (the item itself, not the token) or the new Hateful Gladiator's Season 5 assortments.
As with Normal (10 man), Heroic (25 Man) loot consists of a random selection of 4 (four) Tier 7(25) and Deadly Gladiator's Season 5 items; gloves, robes or pants and this time, four items are dropped. Additionally, he has a chance to drop [Reins of the Grand Black War Mammoth].

Abilities:
Lunge: grabs the highest threat target for a few seconds and attacks the 2nd highest threat target - also stunning all nearby enemies
Rock Shards: deals waves of damage to a target and all enemies nearby the target
Choking Cloud: leaps at a random target dropping a choking cloud - dealing damage and reducing chance to hit by 50% to all enemies in the cloud
Enrage: after 5 minuites Archavon will enrage dealing a significat amount of damage
Strategy:
Archavon is a typical tank and spank encounter with very few abilities to watch out for. Have the main tank grab the boss in the center of the room and make sure the ranged DPS and the healers are spread out to avoid multiple people getting hit by the rock shards and the choking cloud. There are 2 options for when the Archavon uses lunge - either have the offtank second on the threat list so that the boss will automatically change to the off tank - or have the offtank at max range away from the boss to avoid the stun from the lunge and taunt it right away. Rinse and repeat this with the main tank / offtank until the boss is dead.
