Talk:Tinhead

Contrary to popular (and incorrect) belief, frost spells have no effect on the rusting of Tinhead; only time allows the stacking of more "rusting" on Tinhead.

''I can at least partially verify this one. We hit Oz without a warrior the other night so a feral druid got aggro with four swipes, while the rest of the raid focused on Strawman. The druid tanked him until shortly before Strawman died - at that point one of the mages began blasting fire spells at him to pull aggro. When the mage overcame the threat from the four swipes+white damage hits of the druid, Tinhead was very much rusty and stumbled slowly after the mage for the rest of the fight.''

According to combat log analysis on this page, Tinhead gains the first Rust 30 seconds after Dorothee spawns, and another Rust every 6 seconds thereafter. This is confirmed by groups not using Frost and Sunder. --Mattlistener 10:48, 11 May 2007 (EDT)
