Siegecrafter Blackfuse

Siegecrafter Helix Blackfuse is the twelfth boss of Siege of Orgrimmar. In addition to his custom shredder, Blackfuse will utilize the weapons that come from the conveyer belts on the sides of the room to produce bombs, lasers and other weapons to use against the players.

Helix Blackfuse's technology would later be used to help power the Iron Horde in World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, with Pauli Rocketspark taking over the responsibilities of the construction.

''Helix Blackfuse was the only goblin with the combination of engineering prowess, professionalism and ruthlessness to satisfy Garrosh in his search for the engineer of the True Horde. A mercenary at heart, Blackfuse's love for his creations (and the gold they fetch) has forever linked his fate with that of his patron and Warchief.''

''Alongside the hardened infantry who are preparing for war in Garrosh’s underground barracks, Garrosh’s army would need mighty siege engines. The foundation for the concept of this fight lies in the U-shaped conveyor belt that encircles the chamber, allowing players to jump up into the workings of the assembly line and disrupt the manufacturing process. Observant players may recognize the components being assembled as the various parts of the Iron Juggernaut that they defeated earlier, with an extra heaping dose of bombs—because if you’re a goblin, there’s no such thing as too many bombs.''

The fight against Blackfuse unfolds amidst a weapons manufacturing assembly line. Each time the conveyor belts activate, three disassembled weapons of various types roll out, and players may access the assembly line by jumping into nearby pipes, to destroy one of the three. The remaining two will be activated and assault the raid until they slide out of view.

• Take turns going onto the Assembly Line to destroy one Disassembled Weapon per wave.
• Automated Shredders' Reactive Armor makes normal attacks ineffective against them.
• Destroy Crawler Mines before they can reach their targets.

• When an Electromagnet activates, Magnetic Crush deals sustained raidwide damage.
• Automated Shredders deal increasing amounts of raidwide damage with Overload the longer they are alive.

• Blackfuse heals any nearby Automated Shredders with his Automatic Repair Beam.
• As you gain applications of Blackfuse's Electrostatic Charge, you can more effectively damage Automatic Shredders through their Reactive Armor.

''When activated, Siegecrafter Blackfuse's Laser Turrets fire a beam of energy that tracks a player, leaving behind patches of superheated ground for 60 sec.

''Assembled Crawler Mines leap down from the conveyor belt, fixating on a random player.

He also drops Blackfuse's Power Core for hunters.
