Razorscale

This boss fight consists of both an air phase and a ground phase.
The air phase consists of defending the Expedition dwarves while they repair the harpoon turrets. During this phase, the focus should be on defeating adds, and staying out of Devouring Flame.
The adds come out of the mole machines in waves.
Sentinels (tall guys) have Whirlwind (will kill in one shot) so need to be killed by ranged.
Watcher: Chain lightning (can be interrupted).
Guardian: can save these for when the boss lands and keep them in front of her for an achievement.
As the turrets get repaired one at a time, they can be clicked to fire a harpoon at Razorscale. Once both turrets have been repaired and fired, Razorscale will be forced to the ground where she will remain stunned for several seconds. Everyone should immediately move behind her and DPS should focus on bringing her HP down as much as possible while the tanks hold any remaining adds. After the stun wears off, Razorscale will breathe and then return to the air and begin the air phase again.
Once Razorscale is brought to 50% health, she will land permanently, at which point she will need to be tanked facing away from the group to avoid breaths. The easiest way is to move her around the circle that is drawn on the ground, similar to the way Grobbulus is tanked. It’s imperative that all DPS and healers stay behind (and slightly to the sides) the boss and stay out of the flames. There is an achievement for getting her killed before she flies up the second time.
The fight from this point is very simple, she will continue using Devouring Flame, she will do a knock back to everyone within 35 yards, and inflict the Flame Buffet debuff. During this ground phase, the DPS should go all out in order to defeat Razorscale before the Flame Buffet debuffs cause the tank to be one-shot.
