Too Hot to Handle
Defeat Karsh Steelbender after he has reached 15 stacks of Superheated Quicksilver Armor in Blackrock Caverns on Heroic Difficulty.
Too Hot to Handle is a 10-point achievement earned by defeating Karsh Steelbender in Blackrock Caverns on Heroic difficulty after he has accumulated 15 stacks of Superheated Quicksilver Armor.
Enter Blackrock Caverns
Enter Blackrock Caverns on Heroic difficulty and make your way to Karsh Steelbender. At max level you can clear to him solo.
Stack the debuff gradually
Move Karsh into the fire pillar to apply 1-2 stacks of Superheated Quicksilver Armor, then move him back out. Each stack increases the damage he takes by 5% and increases the damage his AoE deals to you.
Reapply before debuff expires
The debuff lasts approximately 15 seconds, so drag Karsh back into the fire pillar before it expires to add another stack — repeat this process until he reaches 15 stacks.
Burn him after 15 stacks
Once Karsh has reached 15 stacks at any point during the fight, the achievement requirement is met — you can then freely burn him down to kill him, as he does not need to have 15 stacks active at the moment of death.
Use defensives at high stacks
Pop defensive cooldowns once Karsh reaches 10-12 stacks, as his AoE damage increases significantly with each stack; if you have enough DPS, you can also burn straight from 1 to 15 stacks without resetting, provided healing can keep up.
