It's Widow's cloud*. It's a rogue weapon proc. Don't exactly remember, have to see the weapon's info

Window cloud is a proc from legendary weapons like snakefangs, most of these weapons have green particle effects and cost 500 gold in the cs xD.

The proc lowers enemies hit chance and dodge by 15%.

Test Abaddon Into Inan'hesh


Umm....Slag=Fire
Grimr=Ice

Ice Vs Fire = Fire wins=Slag wins

Also try Scorch/Singe at Grimnr. I'm curious.

I've been doing tests but it's not very easy to figure which pet to use on which boss and when. Using opposite elements is not a guaranteed method either, Glacian didn't work on Mardrom for example.

I'll continue searching, I have some new theories testing out.
If I'm correct, the new boss list would be:

-Grimnr
-Inan'hesh
-Bael
-Alphawolf
-Frostir

We tested a lot of pets on Grimnr, including Wrathjaw, all mythic pets (maybe except Scorch), Orion, Clyde, Squash, you name it. So far only Slag worked.
So I don't think it's a fire thing, more likely just some random decision by designers. Which means lots of testing ahead.

[Crowsfoot]

Your using slag to perform the "weakness" affect. You point out that he is sometimes stunned. I would like to remind you that slag's ability alone can stun bosses. The overall affect of a "weakness" blow probably does not include stun.

[Crowsfoot]

Test glacian on grimmr and abbandond on inan'hesh

I see a possible pattern.

[Madnex]

First off, thanks for replying to both.

Nope, Glacian for Grimnr is a no.

I think it's logical to assume that only one pet works for each specific boss that designers granted with a weakness.
Also, since these were probably implemented with the pets available at each season, it's reasonable to deduce that their weaknesses are bound with a limited number of pets.

Since it was verified by the devs --thanks to Amie -- that only few bosses have weaknesses, maybe that means we can limit the possible pet list to mythics/arcanes? At least start with them.

[nikolajus112]

In my opinion you need stun thingy :-) slag have rly "hard" stun so its works, try smash (warrior skill) with mage clock or fire (i guess few times cuz smash sometimes not stuning) and u need do it exacly at the same second if its hp%...

[Madnex]

I think it's pretty clear the weaknesses are linked to pet Arcane Abilities but I also think stuns might be playing a large role.

Waiting for ripmaw to go back on stable to try more bosses since no one's really interested in helping with the actual testing lol.

I would help if i get slag or stuning ability pet :/
I gues main thing why its goes perfectly with arcane abilitys: it doesnt take dmg (am i wrong?) so boss stunned at 60% not at 59% (how would be if peps would attack, not pets)

[FluffNStuff]

Never saw this before. Really really cool!!!! First question, do these have to be elites? Also, we were fighting Grimnr and a Meteor shower started on him in normal right after his mid-animation. Is that normal? Been a while since I fought him, and I was using Singe at the time (Arcane is basically Slag's)

[Milan Lame Man]

Fluff, perhaps some other guildy triggered it. Most know how.
I only seen it in reg because I don't run elite Grimnr.

[baddiva]

i think i always see that weakness thing on Gold Mine boss, grimnr, and capt krom, regardless whom with i run, or what pet I use.. I'm not so sure

Ghul and krom have that when their shield goes down
Not sure about grimnr

Well I've been trying when I farm those place plus I'm lving up pets. And so far no luck. Do you think it's only for the head boss on each expansion ?

here comes ripmaw... and did ne one ever try breezaga yet????

[Sorcerie]

The only thing that Bree does is confuse party members by knocking around the bosses with push back effect, LOL - you wouldn't believe how funny it is to see players chasing around the boss because of Bree's bullying.

[Madnex]

I tried breezaga a long time ago, didn't seem to work with any boss from the potential list. I'm keeping my hopes up for ripmaw though, I'll update if I bump on something.
