Abilities:
Shadowbolt - deals shadow damage to the highest aggro target
Harvest Soul - reduces the stats of the entire raid by 10% - stacks 10 times
Strategy:
Phase 1
Gothik the Harvester is a 2 phase fight - the first phase is 26 waves of adds. The raid will need to split into 2 groups of 5 - each with a tank and at least 1 healer. There is a large gate in the center of the room that divides the room in 1/2; the side that Gothik starts in is called the "live" side, the other side is the "dead" side.
When a player attacks Gothik on his ledge the fight will start, with 3 types of mobs constantly spawning:
Unrelenting Trainee
Unrelenting Death Knight
Unrelenting Rider
The unrelenting trainees have low HP and hit for low damage - they should be the lowest priority for the DPS. The unrelenting death knights and unrelenting riders hit for a lot more damage and have more HP - the riders should be top priority for the DPS to kill and the knights 2nd. Each time a trainee, death knight, or rider dies on the live side an undead version of it will spawn on the dead side and will need to be killed again by the 2nd group. When all 26 waves of are cleared Gothik will teleport into group 1.
Phase 2
Gothik will start in group 1 and teleport back and forth between the two groups. He only attacks with shadowbolts making it a simple tank and spank fight however every 15 seconds the raid will receive a stacking harvest soul debuff - making the fight a race against a 2:30 minute timer. When Gothik reaches 30% HP he will open the center gate allowing both groups to combine DPS on the boss.
