Sacrifice

The boss grabs, impales, or otherwise immobilizes one character, chosen at random. This character will usually experience a spike in incoming damage, which must be healed through or otherwise mitigated. Sometimes the consequence of being the bomb for long enough.

If the raid can work to free their comrade, this becomes Web Wrap.

Examples

• Karazhan
  • Terestian Illhoof is the trope namer, although strictly speaking the chains are a form of Web Wrap.
• Naxxramas
  • Kel'Thuzad has a Frost Blast attack which immobilizes a target and ticks for 104% of the target's HP across 4 seconds.
• Ulduar
  • Ignis will drop players into his slag pot, causing considerable damage.
  • Kologarn will grab players in his Right Arm, forcing the raid to kill the Arm.
