Two Bosses Enter: Jin'do vs. Moam

Two bosses enter... but only one of them is going to leave! Over at WoW Insider we've made a list of 32 of the most unique raid bosses in World of Warcraft and now we're pitting them against one another, one at a time, until we come out with a final victor. And that's where you come in -- each week, we'll present you with a fight and you get to decide on the winner with your votes.

This week we have Jin'do the Hexxer from Zul'Gurub matching up against Moam from Ahn'Qiraj. Interested in learning a bit about these two bosses -- and giving us your opinion on who would come out ahead? Read on!

Moam is a construct created by the Twin Emperors, Vek'nilash and Vek'lor. (We'll be talking more about them next week!) However, even they were surprised by his abilities once he was brought to life.

In a fight, Moam starts with zero mana -- but throughout the battle he drains mana from those he's in combat with. When his mana bar is full, he unleashes an arcane explosion, doing damage and throwing everyone around him high into the air. (For a raid group, that's usually the end of the fight.)

And every 90 seconds, Moam will summon three Mana Fiends to assist him in the fight. These minions have an arcane AoE attack and can counterspell casters, interrupting their spell cast and locking out their ability to cast spells in that school for 12 seconds.

For more detailed information on Moam and his attacks, see WoWWiki.

Jin'do the Hexxer is a powerful Troll Shaman inside Zul'Gurub. In a fight, his melee abilities are mostly inconsequential -- but he has quite a bag of tricks to draw on in his defense.

First off, totems. Jin'do has a totem that will mind-control his attackers and a totem that will heal him (about 3% of his health a tick). He can hex his attackers, turning them into frogs. (Only one at a time, though.) And he can curse his targets with Delusions of Jin'do, a DoT doing shadow damage and spawning a powerful Shade of Jin'do. The Shades can only be seen and attacked by an individual with the curse, but they can attack anyone.

Now, if these two bosses met up and fought, what do you think would happen? As with any fight involving Moam, it's a race against time before he manages to use his Arcane Explosion. However, Jin'do's healing totems could certainly keep him going in the battle, while his mind control totem could turn Moam's Mana Fiends against him.

I'm afraid voting for this week is finished -- you can read up on the results here.
