Heroic Atramedes

[Masticrom]

He has more health, and the enrage timer is 10 minutes.

Heroic Mode, all phases

Obnoxious Fiend - Randomly throughout the fight, an Obnoxious Fiend with 155k/232k health will be summoned via a purple portal and run to jump on a random raid member's back.

Phase Shift—Shifts the Obnoxious Fiend out of existence, making him immune to spells. This buff is active whenever the Fiend is not on a player's back (whether by that player dying or the Fiend having just spawned).

Obnoxious—The Obnoxious Fiend is making too much noise! Increases your sound by 10. Cast on the player whose back the Fiend is currently on. 1.5 sec cast (This is possibly interrruptable)

Thats the only thing thats introduced as new for HM Atramedes, now the changes to current abilities for hardmode;

Phase 1:
Modulation- Deals damage, and now increases your sound by 10(vice 7 in normal)
Sonar Pulse(The discs you avoid)- Deals damage, and now increases your sound by 7(vice 5 in normal) per tick of you touching them.

Phase 2:
Sonar Bomb- Deals high damage, and now increases your sound by 30(vice 20 in normal)

Strat: Have your entire group stack up together, this includes tank, melee, healers, and ranged dps. The point where you want to stack will be right at the edge of Atramedes hit box so melee can still attack. This still gives plenty of time to avoid Sonar Pulse, and prevents any confusion about which direction to run when your all in a group together...hopefully. Also, gives all dps the ability to quickly kill the obnoxious fiend. The biggest thing to this will be SOUND! KEEP YOUR FRIGGIN SOUND DOWN! If he looks to kill you cause of sound, and your in a group of people, when you die, your probably just sealed their fate as well with sound, cause him killing you will cause an explosion, and increase everyone around you's sound!

IMO, having us all stack up together would make this fight 500 times easier on normal, and ive seen a lot of videos that make use of it heavily for Hardmode.

Here is by far one of the better video's ive seen for this.

No major comments i seen in tankspot that worthy to be posted. its basically reg mode+steroids. so if you're having trouble avoiding the simple stuff in reg, you better do it better. the weekly atramedes kill should train you for this already.

good luck!
