Abilities: Phase OneGefallener Avatar Energy

Containment Pylon locations highlighted in yellow.

Gefallener AvatarGefallener Avatar

Tanking the Maiden of Valor within the Containment Pylon beam will prevent Gefallener Avatar from gaining the additional energy.

Tanks may want to note that they will take additional damage the longer she stands in the beam due to a stacking 5% Physical damage increase buff called Ermächtigung der Matrix.

Tanks want to pay attention and use damage reduction cooldowns when she gets high stacks when she has high stacks.

When the Maiden of Valor reaches full energy she will cast Säuberungsprotokoll.

This immediately places a damage absorption shield on the Maiden equal to 5% of her maximum health.

Her cast lasts for 20 seconds, and if it completes it will deal lethal damage to the entire raid.

DPS must switch to her to break the damage absorption shield, which will cause her to Fehlfunktion, taking 25% of her max HP as damage and stunning her for 4 seconds, interrupting the cast.


Once Maiden of Valor reaches 100% energy she will cast Säuberungsprotokoll.	Breaking the absorption shield will interrupt the Säuberungsprotokoll cast.

Gefallener Avatar

Although the Maiden has a large health pool, there is still very little reason to attack her, as she will kill herself after the fourth Fehlfunktion

The only time damage should be landing onto the Maiden is when she is casting Säuberungsprotokoll.

Ideally you would have her absorb 400 energy over the course of Phase One, as this would give you the highest up-time on the boss before the Maiden dies from Fehlfunktion damage.

However if the boss has gained energy accidentally through containment pylons and is about to transition early with the Maiden of Valor still alive, the raid will want to kill her as the Gefallener Avatar will Aufzehren her remaining health pool if she is active when entering Phase Two.

This will heal him for a substantial amount, which could cause Phase Two to last for too long and the raid will hit the pseudo enrage.

Gefallener Avatar AbilitiesGefallener AvatarGefallener AvatarVerwüstenVerwüstenVerwüstenGefallener AvatarRealitätsfraktur

All raid members, including the tanks, need to move at least half way across the room away from the boss to reduce the damage to survivable levels, however the further away you move the better!

The tank dealing with the Maiden at that time may have to continue to position her in a Containment Pylon. They should bring her as close to the pylon as possible and have their back towards the back wall to create the largest possible distance from the boss.

The tank dealing with the Avatar at that time needs to ensure they return to the boss quickly, as when the Gefallener Avatar isn't engaged in melee combat he will spam cast Welle der Dunkelheit, which will quickly deal unsustainable damage to the raid.

Melee DPS need to allow the tank to re-engage the Avatar first, as they otherwise may get an unwanted slap to the face and die.

Once the Realitätsfraktur cast has finished, players located within the green areas have done a good job, players in yellow should of done better, players in red are dead.

Gefallener AvatarEntfesseltes Chaos

During this ability, all players in the raid will need to constantly move to avoid the patches they spawn underneath themselves.

Everybody should keep an eye out for other players and try not to run in their path, as you may cut off another player causing them to take unnecessary, potentially lethal, damage.

Everyone must keep moving while Entfesseltes Chaos is up. Combined with other damage sources the targeting circles you spawn can easily kill you.

Schattenhafte Klingen

Three blades will spawn near the boss and fixate on random players. The targeted players will be alerted and shown a beam between them and the Blade, however other players will not be able to see that beam.

A few moments later, the blades will fire towards the players dealing 10 yard splash damage to anyone en route, as well as to the fixated player whilst also knocking them back.

The tank who is dealing with the Maiden must pay extra attention to the blades, as the knockback could cause the Maiden to accidentally move out of a pylon beam.

As soon as the blades appear all players should note which direction the blades are facing and attempt to move out of their path.

The fixated player should avoid heavy movement, as changing the direction of the blade may catch out other players who are trying to avoid them.

Schattenhafte Klingen will always spawn in front of Gefallener Avatar in melee range. You must watch out for the direction they're facing in and take action to avoid them before they fire towards the fixated players.

Gefallener AvatarGefallener AvatarAbilities: Phase TwoVerwüstenRealitätsfrakturVerwüstenRealitätsfraktur

Players must still create a substantial distance between themselves and the boss to reduce the damage to survivable levels.

Tanks must bring the boss into a corner of the platform to minimise the space destroyed with each Realitätsfraktur.

Generally speaking, you should be able to have a minimum of four Realitätsfraktur casts before you begin to run out of space.

(Normal Only), it is possible to tank the Gefallener Avatar in the lava just before the Realitätsfraktur cast and have him cast it off the platform.

This will allow you to have more Realitätsfraktur without losing any extra platform space.

Tanks should position Gefallener Avatar to a new corner ready for the next Realitätsfraktur cast. Other raid members should position themselves between the boss and a new corner so less travel time is required between each Realitätsfraktur cast.

Sengen

Healers need to keep on top of this and may want to use healing cooldowns on each Realitätsfraktur to ensure players are topped quickly before the Sengen finishes them off.

Dunkles Mal

This explosion deals high shadow damage that is split evenly between all players hit within 8 yards.

Players within the mark will also be knocked away from the marked target when the debuff explodes, whilst the marked target gets knocked straight up into the air.

Dunkles Mal

When the explosions occur, players who are spreading the damage should ensure that they are knocked towards a platformed area, rather than the deadly lava.

Marked players with immunities or very high damage reductions are able to solo the ability. Make sure that they notify the rest of the group when doing so to avoid accidental deaths.

Players afflicted with the Dunkles Mal must remain spread from each other. Meanwhile other unaffected players must stand within their targeting circles to help spread the incoming damage when the debuff expires.

Bloodlust TimingGefallener AvatarStrategy SummaryPhase One

Tanks need to position the Maiden of Valor so that she intercepts the energy beam from the Containment pylons

Do not damage the Maiden of Valor until she reaches full energy. Then break her shield to interrupt the Säuberungsprotokoll

Tanks need to use active mitigation on the Verwüsten cast and then switch on two stacks

The entire raid needs to move away from the Gefallener Avatar when he casts Realitätsfraktur

Players need to dodge the patches they create when afflicted with Entfesseltes Chaos

Players fixated by the Schattenhafte Klingen should stand still, whilst the rest of the raid moves out of their path

The Gefallener Avatar must be engaged in melee combat to prevent triggering Welle der Dunkelheit. This does not cast during Realitätsfraktur

If the Gefallener Avatar is about to reach 100 energy, kill off the Maiden of Valor to prevent the boss from healing through his Aufzehren

Phase Two

Tanks need to position the boss on the corners of the platform for each Realitätsfraktur cast

Tanks need to use active mitigation on the Verwüsten cast and then switch on two stacks

Healers should use cooldowns on the Realitätsfraktur casts to prevent players from dying shortly afterwards from the Sengen passive

As many players as possible should spread themselves evenly amongst the Dunkles Mal debuffed targets and make sure they are knocked towards platformed areas

(Normal Only) If running out of space, position the boss in the lava for the Realitätsfraktur cast as this will reduce the platform area destroyed

Role Specific ResponsibilitiesTankPhase One

Position the Maiden of Valor so that she intercepts the energy beam from the Containment pylons

Use active mitigation on the Verwüsten cast and then switch on two stacks

Dodge out of the path of the Schattenhafte Klingen that fly out from the boss

Minimise the amount of damage you deal to the Maiden of Valor whilst tanking her

Phase Two

Use active mitigation on the Verwüsten cast and then switch on two stacks

Position the boss on the corners of the platform for each Realitätsfraktur cast

(Normal Only) If running out of space, position the boss in the lava for the Realitätsfraktur cast as this will reduce the platform area destroyed

The off-tank should help split the damage from the Dunkles Mals, just make sure you are not knocked back into the lava

HealerPhase One

Be prepared to spot heal players during the Entfesseltes Chaos, whilst moving from your own patches

Assign cooldowns for the Realitätsfraktur casts, whilst moving to the back of the room

Spot heal players targeted by the Schattenhafte Klingen, whilst avoiding them as they fly towards that target

Tanks will take heavy damage on the second Verwüsten hit in a row, be prepared to spot heal them

Phase Two

Assign cooldowns for each Realitätsfraktur casts to prevent players from dying shortly afterwards from the Sengen passive

Tanks will take heavy damage on the second Verwüsten hit in a row, be prepared to spot heal them

Help split the damage from the Dunkles Mals, just make sure you are not knocked back into the lava

DPSPhase One

Deal as much damage to the Gefallener Avatar as possible during this phase

Do not damage the Maiden of Valor unless she has full energy and is casting Säuberungsprotokoll

After the Säuberungsprotokoll has ended, make sure to switch back to the boss

Dodge out of the path of the Schattenhafte Klingen that fly out from the boss, and stand still with them if fixated

Move away from the Gefallener Avatar when he casts Realitätsfraktur, melee DPS should wait for the tank to return to the boss first before re-engaging him

Move out of the patches created by the Entfesseltes Chaos, whilst trying to avoid "cutting off" other players with your patches

Phase Two

Help split the damage from the Dunkles Mals, just make sure you are not knocked back into the lava

Move away from the Gefallener Avatar when he casts Realitätsfraktur. This is a great time for personal survival cooldowns

Kill the boss before you run out of space :)

Looking For Raid DifficultyPhase One

The Gefallener Avatar will no longer Aufzehren the health remaining on the Maiden of Valor when entering Phase Two. This gives the raid more space for mistakes as the boss transitioning early will not heal him.

Additionally the Maiden of Valor will not cast Säuberungsprotokoll. This means that all DPS should focus entirely on the Gefallener Avatar and never switch to the Maiden of Valor.

Phase Two

The Dunkles Mals deal significantly less damage, and can be soaked by just a few players.

Also the damage from standing within the lava has been lowered.

This allows the entire raid to stack under the boss and nuke him down, whilst the healers cast AoE spells to keep the raid up.

Heroic DifficultyPhase OneGefallener AvatarBerührung von Sargeras

On a long cast, three purple zones will spawn in seemingly random areas of the room.

After 8 seconds these circles will erupt and deal lethal shadow damage to the entire raid.

To prevent this players need to stand inside them. They'll then split a smaller amount of damage and stop any damage going out onto the raid.

Although it depends on the raid size, 3-4 people per zone should keep damage to survivable levels, however the more players that soak the safer it will be.

To ensure that each zone will have a player nearby, the raid should spread themselves evenly around the encounter area.

Do Note: These zones can be solo soaked with immunities or large damage reductions. These should be used frequently as there are no other points in the fight where these abilities will be as beneficial to your raid.

Any Berührung von Sargeras patches will instantly kill your entire raid if you do not soak them.

Schattenhafte KlingenLauernde Dunkelheit

This pool will deal high ticking damage and slow players by 50% whilst standing within it.

Players marked by the Blades now want to ensure that they spawn the Lauernde Dunkelheit pool in low traffic areas of the encounter room, such as at the back of the room.

It is essential that all other players avoid the blades to ensure that as few Lauernde Dunkelheit pools spawn as possible.

The Lauernde Dunkelheit pools are not permanent, and will despawn after roughly one minute.

Phase Two

The damage from the Sengen passive will now be permanently buffed whenever the Gefallener Avatar stands in lava due to Fel Infusion.

This prevents you from using the Normal Mode strategy of keeping the Avatar within the lava for each Rupturing Realities.

However, you may wish to drag him into the lava for a Rupturing Realities cast late in the phase if you are extremely low on platform space.

Schwarze Winde

The winds travel in a straight line at a constant speed. Players hit by the winds will take a burst of damage and receive a hard hitting 12 second dot.

Winds must be avoided as much as possible. Players soaking Dunkles Mals should keep an eye out for winds and do their best not to be knocked back into them.

The winds become harder and harder to dodge as the platform area shrinks with each Realitätsfraktur cast.

Movement Speed increases should be used later in the fight to help dodge these winds in an enclosed area.

Schwarze Winde spawn in groups and move directly across the platform and despawn on the opposite side. Players that do not avoid them are likely to die!

Mythic DifficultyPhase OneBerührung von SargerasSchattenhafte KlingenSchattenhafte Klingen

This makes avoiding the blades much more difficult. Players need to have exceptional raid awareness to try and avoid as many blades as possible.

This also will increase the amount of Lauernde Dunkelheit pools present in the encounter area.

Besudelte Matrix

These pylons will generate a substantial amount of energy for the Gefallener Avatar, however the Maiden of Valor must not soak these as she'll pulse out lethal raid wide damage every 2 seconds whilst standing within the corrupted beam.

The beams from the Tainted Matrices can be soaked by players. Doing so deals moderate damage to the player and applies the Besudelte Essenz debuff to the player every 1.5 sec.

The Besudelte Essenz debuff reduces all healing and shields received by 10% and lasts for just over 1 minute. If any player reaches 10 stacks they will instantly die.

The raid needs to soak both Besudelte Matrix beams by rotating players to soak the beams.

Although it isn't entirely clear which number of players would be optimal, it seems like 6-7 players per beam will be needed if they rotate on 5-7 stacks.

Phase TwoRegen des Zerstörers

The comets will land and explode, destroying a section of platform whilst also dealing a near lethal burst of damage to the entire raid.

If a player stands underneath a comet as it lands, the player will take a small burst of damage and the explosion will be nullified.

These comets spawn in random locations across the entire platform. The raid team needs to be pre-spread and ready to soak the comets every time the Regen des Zerstörers occurs.

I absolutely loved the line:

Melee DPS need to allow the tank to re-engage the Avatar first, as they otherwise may get an unwanted slap to the face and die.

Kommentar von axhawk

Graphic for Touch of Sargeras is wrong, it's a much larger green ring with a fire tornado cone in the center.

Kommentar von 1405951

This guide was absolutely great to have while progressing on a Normal run of it. I made a video for any fellow tanks to see how far you can kite the boss to mitigate Ruptured Reality. I do realize this would become tricky to handle during Heroic and/or Mythic difficulty.

Your world 3rd kill is wrong. It should be Chinese guild Alpha not ScrubBusters

Phase 1 (LFR Chamber of the Avatar release day):
In Looking for Raid Difficulty, there is no Maiden of Valor but the energy of Avatar will be gained slowly even without her. But this boss isn't interesting in LFR anymore.

LFR quicktips

On LFR this fight boils down to a tank+spank dps race in phase 2.

Phase 1:

Avoid the three spears that come out from the boss and the fiery patches on the ground
Run away from the boss (at least halfway down the room) when Realitätsfraktur is cast
Tanks: swap when the Verwüsten debuff wears off (generally 2-3 stacks)

Phase 2 (begins when boss reaches 100 energy, or hits 20% health):

Stack on people with the purple circle debuff (Dunkles Mal) to spread damage (but don't get knocked into lava)
Continue to run away during Rupture Realities
Tanks: Continue to swap when Desolate drops off, and tank the boss in the corners of the platform, since each Rupture Realities will destroy a chunk of the platform. You can move the boss into the lava just before he starts casting to gain a bit more space
Kill boss before space runs out (6 or so Rupture Realities, although very placement dependent)

Heroism/Bloodlust: on pull. But someone probably already popped it on the single trash pull.

Kommentar von Aiue

On a long cast, three purple zones will spawn in seemingly random areas of the room.

The purple zones in question are a yellowish-green. The purple zones that are actually purple are the ones you'll want to not stand in, as they are the Lauernde Dunkelheit.

Kommentar von jpop2887

Blood DKs, Anti-magic shell absorbs a massive amount of damage from Rupture Realities rendering it trivial. This will help with making sure avatar doesn't cast Ripple of Darkness.

Kommentar von d3xx

For those doing this solo, where do you stand to best avoid lava?

Kommentar von Battlespark

Just tried this solo, raid 10 man, normal at level 60, around Ilevel 157 on a destruction lock. This dude did hurt but not a ton. Mechanics still work here, but its not as critical, EXCEPT for the part where you fall into the fel/lava. You must bring him to the edge and have some fast way of getting away from him. I had him down to about 1/4 health before the fel killed me off. Ive never done this raid so it was a bit of a mess for me. I surrendered to time (aka it was time for a irl fridge raid) hopefully i can try again.

Kommentar von Thatsoureric

Currently impossible to solo as a ilvl 221 Demonology Warlock on Mythic.

The "nerfs" to this fight are to put it frankly, @#$%ing useless. This is a raid that is
2 expansions old, and they can't nerf outdated content correctly.

Phase 1 is a joke, but phase 2 you will lose over and over. Simply put, boss has
too much HP, you (somehow) don't do enough damage, and the mechanics that
destroys the floor happens far too quickly. The DoT on the lava also builds up
and does far too much damage.

All in all, still a grossly overtuned fight that Blizzard has completely &*!@ the bed
on nerfing properly.

Kommentar von blupache

Extremely easy to solo now, many expacs later, however...

You're likely to kill in in phase 1, before he smashes the floor, which blocks your access to the teleporter to Kil'Jaeden.

Ideally: single target the maiden down, then wait for Fallen Avatar to reach 100 energy and break the floor before killing him.

However if you mess up & kill him in phase one then zoning out of the instance & coming back after a soft reset while leave the raid in a 'fight completed' state which has the floor broken & Kil'jaeden's teleporter accessible.
