Your browser doesn't have Flash installed.

Kalecgos is a boss in the Sunwell Plateau raid, as well as an NPC in Magisters' Terrace. He is first boss. Players have to free him from his enslavement by Kil'jaeden the Deceiver

Strategy
The fight is quite interesting, because you will need to constantly switch people between Kalecgos (dragon) and Sathrovarr (demon) so that the Arcane Buffet debuff doesn't stack too high.

[edit] Setup
You will need 3 tanks, 8+ healers and 4+ decursers Assign 4 groups, each containing 2 healers and 1 decurser. The tanks will have a seperate rotation, but everyone else needs to be assigned to one group. Assign an area of the platform for each group, so that they don't have to run as far to reach the portal.

[edit] Phase 1
Tank Kalecgos (dragon form) at the center of the platform. When you engage him turn him around immediately, because you don't want his Frost Breath to hit the raid. Do not stand too close to each other, because if a portal spawns, everyone to close to it will take damage. Every 20-25 seconds , a portal will spawn. A random raid member will be ported to Kalecgos (human form) and Sathrovarr (demon). The group members of the group he was assigned to will click the portal to join him. That way you ensure to have healers and decursers at Sathrovarr at all times.

[edit] Phase 2
After being ported you will see Kalecgos (human form, friendly) fight Sathrovarr (demon). A tank will need to taunt and tank Sathrovarr, so that Kalecgos (human form) does not take damage. 60 seconds after entering phase 2 you will automatically be porte back to Kalecgos (dragon form), and gain a debuff preventing you to be ported back to Sathrovarr again for 60 seconds.

[edit] Rotation
Whenever someone is target of the random port, the other members of his port-group will enter the portal. Because of the phase 2 and debuff duration, this will almost automatically become a rotation.

The first group that is ported to Sathrovarr re-enters the fight against Kalecgos (dragon form) just before the last group is ported to Sathrovarr. This is a critical moment, because the Arcane Buffet is already stacking prettty high (hits for around 5k dmg). You will have few players up at Kalecgos, so make sure the healers won't enter the portal before the "new" healers (of the first group that was ported) heal the Kalecgos (dragon form) tank.

The tanks will be seperated from the "normal" rotation.

Tank 1 tanks Kalecgos (dragon form), until Tank 2 taunts him.
Tank 2 will enter the first portal that spawns
Tank 3 will enter the third portal that spawns
Whenever a tank is ported, he will taunt and tank the target (Kalecgos (dragon form) or Sathrovarr). When there is a tank-switch on Kalecgos (dragon form), the tank previously tanking him will enter the next portal he sees. After each port the tank will taunt and tank the target and so on...

Have a group assigned to enter the portal, if Tank 2 or 3 is target of the random port.
If Tank 3 is random port on the first portal, have tank 2 and 3 switch roles.
If Tank 3 is random port on the second portal: oh well... happens. just continue your rotation!
Note: Kalecgos (dragon form) and Sathrovarr (demon) need to be killed at the same time, so compare health percentages every once and a while!
