Leotheras the Blind is a Boss of Serpentshrine Cavern in Coilfang Reservoir. He is a blood elf demon hunter.
Abilities
- Leotheras alternates between Humanoid Form (~45 sec) and Demon Form (~60 sec) through most of the fight. He wipes threat upon transition between forms
- At 15% health, the two forms split apart and must be handled together
- Leotheras enrages after 10 minutes of combat, wiping the raid very quickly.
Humanoid Form Abilities
Melee: 2500-3000 on plate
Whirlwind:
- 15 sec duration
- Leotheras spins around the room (similar to Sartura in Ahn'Qiraj)
- ~3000 damage instant (mitigated by armor) plus a 15s bleed for 2500 per tick (no mitigation)
- 15 sec cooldown
- Resets the threat list
Demon Form Abilities
Chaos Blast : In Demon Form Leotheras spams this spell on his current target
- 2 sec cast
- 150 fire damage AoE
- Applies a 45 sec debuff which increases fire damage taken by 1675 and can stack up to 20 times
Inner Demon
About 25 sec into the Demon Form phase, Leotheras summons Inner Demons for up to five raid members (never for the person with aggro). The inner demons can only be attacked by the person to which they belong. If Leotheras returns to humanoid form while an Inner Demon is still alive, that person becomes Mind Controlled for 10 minutes (non-removable). Pet classes must make sure their pet does not get the killing blow, the Mind Control is only prevented if the player deals the death blow.
Inner Demon capabilities:
- ~11,000 health
- melee damage: ~1000
- spell damage: Shadow Bolt for ~3500 (reflectable)
- take increased damage from arcane, nature, and holy spells
- may take slightly reduced damage from shadow and fire spells (unconfirmed)
- vulnerable to most forms of CC like daze, stun, disorient, fear and even banish (not recommended)
Strategy
Suggested Raid Build
- 7-8 healers: In the worst case there are 5 inner demons on healers, two healers are absolutely needed for the warlock tank
- 2-3 tanks: One being warlock, one to two for regaining aggro after whirlwind. Druid tanks are good, as they can DPS better during the demon phase and kill their Inner Demon much more easily than a Protection Warrior in tank gear.
- 16-14 DPS classes, as usual ranged DPS have an easier time than melee.
Humanoid Form
Whirlwind
During a Whirlwind, Leotheras targets his victim. If that person runs away fast and far enough, he will deaggro and whirl towards someone else. It is possible to have ALL raid members avoid being hit. If people are hit by Whirlwind, they must be healed. The DoT part can only be removed with 
[Divine Shield], 
[Blessing of Protection], or 
[Ice Block] (
[Stoneform] no longer removes it).
The aggro wipe can be overcome with a hunters 
[Misdirection]. Other tricks include having a shaman place a 
[Searing Totem] on the tanking spot (Leotheras will aggro this, allowing the MT to get aggro back easily). Bleeds or any other tank DoTs also help them gain aggro immediately when they tick after the aggro wipe. Having a Paladin main tank this encounter is also a good idea because he doesn't have to chase down Leotheras, but can simply throw an Avenger's Shield.
Demon Form
It's a frequently used tactic to have a demo specced warlock with fel hunter and high fire resistance tank this encounter. Nonetheless, it's also possible to tank him conventionally.
Inner Demon
Whenever a player has to deal with an inner demon, he should be healed by the non-affected healers, even if self healing-capable. DPS classes should find this encounter rather easy. For some classes a few hints may help:
- Holy Priest: Start with a SW: Pain, PW: Shield and Smite it to death. SW: death is also useful, as is Psychic Scream.
- Holy Paladin: Start by use
[Avenging Wrath] and [Seal of Righteousness], then continue with [Consecration], [Exorcism], [Holy Shock] and Judgement of Righteousness. Clean up with [Hammer of Wrath].
- Restoration Druid: Start with [Moonfire], break Tree of Life, then continue with [Barkskin], followed by spamming [Wrath]. Barkskin lasts 12 seconds during that time cast about five Wraths. After that start spamming [Moonfire] since Wrath gets pushback. Also use [Insect Swarm] if possible.
- Restoration Shaman: Keep [Lightning Shield] active. Do not try to melee DPS the Demon, instead use [Chain Lightning] and [Lightning Bolt]. Keep a [Searing Totem] up. Use [Earth Shock] to interrupt Shadow Bolts.
- Protection Warriors: Warriors should try to be at 100% rage before they can get the demon. This is acheived by simply attacking Leotheras in battle stance in his demon form, using [Devastate] and [Heroic Strike], economize on rage as much as possible. When the inner demon is there, shield reflect the demon's shadow bolt. Wear a mix of DPS and tanking gear for this fight.
- Hunters: Pets can be used, but that's a little dangerous (lest the pet gets the kill). It's safe to use the pet until about 20%, then put it on passive. If the pet had growl on auto-cast before, it should still hold aggro until the demon is dead. Hunters who can't use their pet (or prefer to leave it on the boss) can use the hunter dance and should be fine too.
- Combat Rogues: These have a particularly easy time with inner demons, they can stay on the boss and simply kill the Demon with [Blade Flurry].
Split Phase
At 15%, Leothoras' Demon Form splits from his Humanoid Form, both forms must be handled together. The Demon Form starts with 100% health, while the Humanoid Form retains its current health. The Humanoid Form abilities are the same as before. The Demon Form still uses Chaos Blast, but no longer spawns the Inner Demons. Upon defeating the Human Form, the Demon Form despawns.

Notes
Template:Patched
- As of 08/02/07 Inner Demons are bugged, and if a players pet lands the killing blow on the demon, the player will still be mind controlled.
- It should be noted that Leotheras' demonic side seems to be out of his control, easily leading to the theory he was the Blood Elf, of the first trained, that went insane.
