Trash Gauntlet

Sometimes the boss just isn't ready to fight you when you arrive on the scene. He's over there, the raid is over here, and between the two are legions of trash mobs. The raid must overcome them in order to start working on the boss.

Different from Add-Powered Bubble in that you can't really work on the boss at all until you dispose of the adds.

Examples

• Naxxramas
  • Gothik spawns several waves of adds before he teleports down from his balcony.
• Eye of Eternity
  • Malygos phase 2 consists of him flying around invulnerably while the raid alternates between killing his adds and running to the magic shields which periodically spawn.
• Ulduar
  • Thorim has a gauntlet, where a small group must assault his position while another group fends off waves of dwarves in the arena. Reaching him quickly enough activates Hard Mode.
