Abilities
- Basic Melee - 1500 to 2000 on plate.
- Cleave - 5 yd range. Instant. Inflicts Physical damage to an enemy and its nearest allies, affecting up to 3 targets. Around 4000 damage to cloth.
- Rust - Slow speed by 10%, stacking 8 times. This is a purely scripted effect.
Strategy
Contrary to popular (and incorrect) belief, Frost spells and [Sunder Armor] have no effect on the rusting of Tinhead.
Only time allows the stacking of more Rust on Tinhead. It is a time scripted buff.
30 seconds after Dorothee spawns Tinhead will gain the first Rust, and will stack another every 6 seconds afterwards until 8 applications. He remains slowed forever.
Have a Mage cast [Detect Magic] on Tinhead. "Rust" is actually a buff so this is required to see how much it has stacked. A tank should hold aggro until Tinhead is sufficiently Rusted to kite.
Tanks: his [Cleave] can kill casters and melee, so either ask for space or run back and forth between the walls, popping [Shield Block] and applying another [Sunder Armor] as you run past. As more of the other adds go down, you'll find that you have more and more space to move him around.
- Useful tip: Kill Tinhead last, while kiting him. He's a good source to regen some mana as well. Tinhead can easily be wanded to death.
- Useful tip: If you have a paladin in your group, he can judge [Seal of Justice] on Tinhead as soon as he spawns to slow him immediately to normal movement speed.
