Drain Mana - Drains 500 mana from 6 people. Virtually unlimited range. Gives 1000 mana to Moam per person. This attack is not directional.
Arcane Explosion - If Moam's mana reaches 100% he emotes "Moam bristles with energy" and unleashes a 3000 damage arcane explosion plus fall damage.
Summon Mana Fiend - 90 seconds into the battle, Moam summons 3 Mana Fiends, which are arcane elementals. These are banishable and rootable.
Turn to Stone - Also at 90 seconds, after summoning the mana fiends, Moam will turn to stone. In this state he cannot attack and does not drain mana (but does regenerate some). After a 90 seconds, or if his mana reaches 100%, he comes out of stone.

Strategies of Moam
Priests, Warlocks, and Hunters
Having three each of warlocks and priests, and a hunter (Viper Sting does not stack) makes this fight easier, if you have the coordination together. Basics of this strategy are mana drain, ice traps/banish, and DPS like crazy. Usually, we advice players use their Strategies to defeat Moam, so that you would enjoy more exciting and happy. If the goal of players is to get a large of amount World of Warcraft gold and WoW XP which is necessary for you WoW power leveling. You are able to buy cheap WoW gold from Vscale.
Starting out, you need to send in your MT, any non-mana users, and the shamans and druids to heal. Warlocks and priests should stay behind and wait 2-3 seconds before running in (This will prevent them from getting their mana drained by Moam).
Have all three warlocks and all three priests drain mana. Also have a hunter keep a Viper Sting on it. This is enough mana burning to keep Moam from doing an Arcane Explosion. All other classes will be doing damage and healing.
After 90 seconds, 3 arcane elementals (Mana Fiends) will spawn - You want Moam to be below 45% by this time. Hunters can lay freeze traps in front of the Mana Fiends, then have a warlock banish when he is able. Using Feign Death/Freeze Trap, a hunter can pick up the add and prevent the arcane explosion. Warlocks will re-banish whenever capable.
With Moam a 45%, 1 priest can take a quick break to perform heals on essential members (no more than 30 seconds). At this point Non-stop DPS on Moam will bring him down easily.
Take down the adds, and reap the rewards (WoW money, items, equipments and XP).
Priests and 3 Warlocks
Have all three warlocks and all three priests drain mana. Also have a hunter keep a Viper Sting on it. This is enough mana burning to keep Moam from doing an Arcane Explosion. All other classes will be doing damage and healing.
After 90 seconds, 3 arcane elementals (Mana Fiends) will spawn. The warlocks will keep these banished for the remainder of the fight. Priests will continue to mana burn. The rest of the raid will continue to attack Moam and try to kill it before it reverts to normal. Since Moam cannot move while it is turned to stone, there is no need for the raid to manage aggro.
When Moam dies, the raid should heal themselves. Let the banish end on the Mana Fiends one at a time and proceed to kill them. They do not despawn when Moam dies, but if the Mana Fiends wipe the raid when Moam is dead, they will despawn. If players hope to win this boss perfectly, don’t look down upon Moam or you would lost your rewards, such as a large WoW gold and so on.
If the raid is short on warlocks, the elementals can be burned down as they only have approximately 15,000 health. It may be advisable to have 3 warlocks as the elementals do considerable AoE arcane damage.
Fewer than 3 priests or warlocks
All priests and warlocks should still be mana burning Moam, but it will do an Arcane Explosion. Let it explode at about 80 seconds. This will cause Moam to turn to stone with very little mana, allowing warlocks and priests to keep up the mana drain so Moam will not not revert to normal prematurely.
Everyone but the main tank and a healer needs to run away from Moam before it does the Arcane Explosion. A Greater Arcane Protection Potion on the tank is recommended. After Moam explodes, it's mana returns to 0. When it stoneforms, either kill or banish the Mana Fiends and finish Moam off.
