Erstaunlich leuchtrote Pantoffeln is a throwback to Rubinschuhe which also had a Hearthstone effect.

Mrrgrias Gunst and Jettonys Versprechen are trinkets with interesting synergy.

Arans Entspannungsrubin is a throwback to Arans Beruhigungssaphir. As it summons Flame Wreath, it is not very relaxing!

The CuratorNotable Trash MobsVerschreckendes HeulenBeschädigter GolemInstabile Energie

Instabile Energie is a buff that lasts for 6 seconds, and cannot be interrupted

While buffed, the Golem sprays projectiles rapidly in a 30-yard radius around it, dealing moderate damage to any player standing in the impact

Ranged DPS and healers should stay at max range to avoid having to dodge these effects

Melee DPS and tanks should dodge as much as is feasible, and use defensive CDs to avoid taking fatal damage

Abstrakter Annullator

Abstract Nullifier will cast Nullifikation on a random target every 12 seconds

Nullifikation is a 30-second silence that cannot be dispelled

The affected player gather their spiritual energies in order to remove the silence effect

These spiritual energies manifest as four small purple orbs that only the affected player can see

Run to the orbs and jump if necessary to re-absorb them and remove the effect

The Nullifier will also chain-cast Arkanstoß on the tank, dealing moderate to heavy tank damage

Every 15 seconds, the Nullifier will attack the tank with Machtklinge, dealing an initial hit of Arcane damage and leaving a DoT effect

ManazusammenflussManagesättigter Wyrm

Mana Confluence is protected by an Ablativer Schild, which absorbs damage equal to the Mana Confluence's mana pool

As players damage the Ablativer Schild, the Mana Confluence loses mana

The party must first deplete this shield before they can damage the Mana Confluence directly

The Mana Confluence also attacks the tank with Arkanbeschuss, dealing moderate damage

Mana-Gorged Wyrms will Siphon Energy from nearby Mana Confluence adds, also reducing the Ablativer Schild

Upon dying, Mana-Gorged Wyrms will release Ungebundenes Mana for 10 seconds

Players standing in the Ungebundenes Mana will regain 10% of the Mana-Gorged Wyrm's mana pool each second

The Curator Tips & StrategyDer KuratorPhase 1: Actively AttackingUnstete Energie beschwören

Each cast summons one Unstete Energie add

Volatile Energy will attack random targets with Überspringender Blitz, dealing light damage

Each successful Überspringender Blitz cast will buff the Volatile Energy with a stack of Überspringender Blitz

Each stack of the Überspringender Blitz buff increases Überspringender Blitz damage by 100%, meaning players cannot simply ignore the Volatile Energy adds, or they will begin one-shotting their targets

In addition. about 9-13 seconds after spawning, and every 9-13 seconds thereafter, Volatile Energy will use Statische Aufladung to jump to a player's position

Players within 8 yards of the Statische Aufladung impact point will take heavy damage

The party should stay spread out more than 8 yards to limit Statische Aufladung's splash damage

When the Volatile Energy is airborne, players near its predicted trajectory should move away

When a Volatile Energy add spawns, players should immediately switch to it and kill it

Kraftentladung

Curator will target all five players' current position with a spark of lightning

When this lands, it creates a pool of Kraftentladung energy at the player's original location

This deals light damage on impact, but heavier damage if players remain inside the Kraftentladung pool

These pools will persist for the rest of the fight, making Kraftentladung a soft enrage mechanic - if the corridor fills up with pools before players defeat The Curator, the party is likely to wipe

Players should stay relatively close to limit the amount of encounter space that is affected by Kraftentladung

KraftentladungPhase 2: Regenerating ManaHervorrufung

Hervorrufung is a 20-second channel that recharges The Curator's mana to full

While channeling Hervorrufung, The Curator takes 100% additional damage

The party should use its most powerful DPS cooldowns, including Heldentum/Kampfrausch/Zeitkrümmung, here

HervorrufungÜberladung

Each time The Curator casts Überladung, he gains a stack of the Überladung buff

Überladung's damage is increased by 100% for each stack of the Überladung buff active

Immediately after Überladung, The Curator returns to Phase 1, instantly casting Unstete Energie beschwören

Überladung

Move The Curator each time he casts Kraftentladung

Help kill nearby Volatile Energy adds

Save offensive cooldowns for the Hervorrufung phase

Use AM/CDs whenever adds are active or for higher-stack Überladung casts

Quickly swap to and kill the Volatile Energy adds as they spawn

Save DPS cooldowns for the Hervorrufung phase, while Curator takes additional damage

Move out of pools of Kraftentladung, but stay close to existing pools to save space

Stay spread out to reduce splash damage from Statische Aufladung

Use a defensive CD for high-stack Überladung casts

Phase 1 damage is spiky and random

Be sure to top players off before and after each Überladung, using raid CDs if necessary

Contribute damage on Curator during Hervorrufung when possible

Move out of pools of Kraftentladung

Stay spread out to reduce splash damage from Statische Aufladung

Use a defensive cd for higher-stack Überladung casts

Shade of MedivhNotable Trash MobsTeufelsfledermausTeufelsmörser

When a Fel Bat casts Teufelsmörser, it will choose a random player and fire off several projectiles in a line at that player's location

The projectiles deal heavy damage upon impact, and players should move away to the sides, rather than forward or back

The party should spread out to avoid excessive movement or splash damage

HitzköpfigTeufelsmörserTeufelsatem

The Teufelsatem is a 60-yard-long cone in front of the Fel Bat, and deals heavy damage each second

The tank should side-step out of the Teufelsatem, and be sure the Fel Bat is faced away from the party

All other players should stay behind the Fel Bat to avoid this damage, as it is likely fatal

TeufelsmörserMachterfüllter PyromantTeufelsfeuerballTeufelsbombe

Approximately every 25 seconds, the Infused Pyromancer will summon a pair of Teufelsbombes

These Teufelsbombe will detonate after 15 seconds, dealing near-fatal damage to the party regardless of LoS or distance

In order to prevent the detonation, at least one player must stand beneath each Teufelsbombe to absorb its energies

Standing beneath the Teufelsbombe will deal moderate damage every second, and 10 total ticks of this damage, or 10 seconds of soaking, are required to deplete each Bomb

The players soaking the two Teufelsbombe should use defensive CDs when possible

If targeted by Teufelsmörser while soaking a Teufelsbombe, step out to avoid the Mortar damage, but back in quickly to continue absorbing the Bomb

Healers should focus on keeping the Teufelsbombe soakers alive

Übermütiger FeuerteufelÜbermütige Feuertaufe

These flames will travel in a straight line from a point approximately 15 yards in front of the Immolator, to the Immolator's position

Players standing in this path will take heavy Fire damage each second

Tanks should move the Infused Pyromancers away from nearby Gleeful Immolators, ideally around a corner

These adds do not need to be killed, as they will despawn after 70 seconds or when the Infused Pyromancer is defeated

Flammenbringer der Zornwächter

The Wrathguard Flamebringer deals moderate tank damage with Schlag and Spalten

He will often Rutschen behind the tank, which can be dangerous to melee DPS if a Spalten follows shortly after

The tank should try to keep the Wrathguard facing away from the party

Melee DPS should be careful after Rutschen to reposition quickly and avoid Spalten damage

Every 10 seconds, the Flamebringer will also ignite the ground beneath him with Brennender Boden

The Brennendes Feld will erupt after 3 seconds, dealing heavy damage to any players standing in the area

The tank should drag the Wrathguard Flamebringer to the side of the Brennendes Feld patch so melee DPS are not struck

Shade of Medivh Tips & StrategyMedivhs Schemen

Durchstoßende Geschosse is always cast on the tank, and deals extremely heavy damage, ticking ever 0.5 seconds for 5 seconds

If the channel completes, the tank will also gain the Piercing Missiles debuff, increasing all Arcane damage taken by 25% for 20 seconds

This debuff will make subsequent Durchstoßende Geschosse casts extremely deadly, and should be avoided by interrupting Durchstoßende Geschosse

Infernoblitz chooses a random target, marking the player with a circle indicating the spell's splash radius

At the end of the Infernoblitz cast, the targeted player, and any other players within the circle, will take heavy Fire damage and receive a moderate DoT

Erfrierung will target a random, non-tank player, and encase them in an ice block

The only way to break this player free from the ice block is to splash Infernoblitz damage onto them

It is not possible to assign one player to interrupt every instance of one spell.

The most important spell to interrupt is Durchstoßende Geschosse, to avoid losing the tank

Unlike most casts, players should interrupt Durchstoßende Geschosse early in the channel to reduce damage dealt

If there are spare interupts after handling each Durchstoßende Geschosse cast, players should interrupt Erfrierung

Do not bother interrupting Infernoblitz

If a Erfrierung cast gets through, the next player targeted by Infernoblitz should run to the Erfrierung player to free them

just far enoughInfernoblitzErfrierungInfernoblitzUnerbittlicher Winter

Although the Unerbittlicher Winter lasts for 20 seconds, the Shade of Medivh will resume casting Erfrierung/Infernoblitz/Durchstoßende Geschosse immediately after casting it

Players will take moderate damage each second from the Unerbittlicher Winter storm

This debuff stacks, quickly building up to fatal damage

To remove the stacks, players must move; each step or jump will remove 1 stack of Unerbittlicher Winter

Focus on survivability and awareness, not DPS - keep moving, and continue to respond to mechanics

Use defensive cooldowns if targeted by Infernoblitz during Unerbittlicher Winter

FlammenkranzFlammenkranz

Flammenkranz rings last for 20 seconds and are formed at the player's location at the time of the cast

If at any time, any player crosses over the Flammenkranz rings, in any direction, Flammenkranz will detonate, dealing fatal damage to the party

Do not move if you are targeted by Flammenkranz!

As soon as the Shade of Medivh casts Flammenkranz, he will resume using his Erfrierung/Infernoblitz/Durchstoßende Geschosse abilities

Players targeted by Flammenkranz and Erfrierung at the same time should not be broken out with Infernoblitz until Flammenkranz has faded - doing so will detonate the Flammenkranz and wipe the party

Players targeted by Flammenkranz and Infernoblitz at the same time should not try to break other players out of Erfrierung - doing so will detonate the Flammenkranz and wipe the party

Abbild des WächtersAbbild des Wächters

Players must kill all three of the Guardian's Images to force the Shade of Medivh to reappear

The Guardian Images will cast Arkanblitz at random players, dealing spiky damage and requiring heavy triage healing

Every 3 seconds, each Guardian's Image will deal party-wide AoE damage with Flimmern

This damage starts out light, but each time a player takes damage from Flimmern they gain a stack of the Flimmern debuff, increasing Flimmern damage by 5% per stack

With 3 Guardian's Images, this damage stacks up quickly!

Players should focus down one Guardian's Image at a time, to reduce the total number of stacks of Flimmern

Once all three Guardian's Images are dead, the Shade of Medivh will return and resume casting the Erfrierung/Infernoblitz/Durchstoßende Geschosse abilities

Interrupt Durchstoßende Geschosse when possible, but communicate so that other players do not waste their interrupt cooldowns

Use a strong CD if you gain the Piercing Missiles debuff

If targeted by Infernoblitz and a nearby player is in Erfrierung, move to them to free them

During Guardian's Image, attack Guardian's Images and use defensive CDs when your stacks of Flimmern are high

During Unerbittlicher Winter, continually move or jump to keep the Unerbittlicher Winter stacks low

During Flammenkranz, do not leave your own Flammenkranz if targeted, and do not enter another player's Flammenkranz

Spread out to avoid splashing Infernoblitz damage or overlapping Flammenkranz circles

Interrupt Durchstoßende Geschosse and Erfrierung when possible, but communicate so that other players do not waste their interrupt cooldowns

If targeted by Infernoblitz and another player is in Erfrierung, move to them to free them

During Guardian's Image, attack Guardian's Images and use defensive CDs when your stacks of Flimmern are high

During Unerbittlicher Winter, continually move or jump to keep the Unerbittlicher Winter stacks low

During Flammenkranz, do not leave your own Flammenkranz if targeted, and do not enter another player's Flammenkranz

The tank may require heavy healing for Durchstoßende Geschosse casts, especially if they are interrupted late in the cast

If a Durchstoßende Geschosse cast finishes, the tank may require an external cooldown during the Piercing Missiles debuff

Players struck by Infernoblitz will need focused healing due to the DoT effect

Top up players in Erfrierung so they will survive the hit from Infernoblitz to free them

Use a raid CD during Guardian's Image

Use mobility CDs and mobile healing CDs or abilities during Unerbittlicher Winter

During Unerbittlicher Winter, continually move or jump to keep the Unerbittlicher Winter stacks low

During Flammenkranz, do not leave your own Flammenkranz if targeted, and do not enter another player's Flammenkranz

Mana DevourerNotable Trash MobsSpinneGespinst

The Spider will also cast Leben entziehen on the tank every 25 seconds, dealing moderate DoT damage and transferring that life to the Spider

Leben entziehen can also be dispelled

Healers should prioritize dispelling Leben entziehen from the tank over dispelling Gespinst

Uralter Foliant

Ancient Tome will cast Arkanschlag on the tank, dealing light to moderate damage

Each Arkanschlag cast will buff the next Arkanschlag by 10% damage, stacking up to 5 times

Ancient Tome will debuff a random non-tank player with Fluch der Verdammnis, which will deal heavy damage when it expires

If Fluch der Verdammnis is dispelled, it will not deal any damage, so the healer should dispel this debuff before it expires

Additionally, the Ancient Tome will cast Magie aufzehren on low health, healing back to full health if successful

Interrupt Magie aufzehren to prevent the heal

RatteGiftzahnStampede

Giftzahn is a moderate-damage DoT effect with a heavy up-front damage component

Giftzahn cannot be dispelled, so healers should use CDs if necessary to ensure the tank survives

Rat casts Giftzahn every 10 seconds, upon reaching full Energy

Tanks should spread out their CDs and AM abilities to cover each Giftzahn application

Approximately every 15 seconds, Rat will cast Stampede, creating a line of small rat mobs that marches forward

Players struck by the Stampede will take heavy damage and be knocked back

There will be two breaks in the line of rats, one usually aligned with the position of the Rat mob when it cast the spell

The party can stack on Rat to avoid Stampede with minimal movement

Mana Devourer Tips & StrategyManaschlingerDezimierende Essenz

Mana Devourer will gain mana at the rate of 5% maximum mana every 3 seconds throughout the encounter

Every 30 seconds, Mana Devourer will gain the Macht verschmelzen buff

When this happens, the Mana Devourer will expel its entire mana bar, creating an orb of Ungebundenes Mana for each 5% mana he had at the time of the buff

These Ungebundenes Mana spheres will rush back to the Mana Devourer from all directions, restoring mana to the Devourer if it reaches the boss

Because the Mana Devourer is still gaining 5% mana every 3 seconds, if enough of these Ungebundenes Mana spheres reach the boss, he will cast reach 100% mana!

Players must intercept as many Ungebundenes Mana spheres as possible to keep the Mana Devourer from reaching max mana

Ungebundenes ManaInstabiles Mana

For each stack of Instabiles Mana, the player will deal 10% additional damage

However, they will also suffer a moderate DoT effect that increases with each stack of Instabiles Mana they have

Players who absorb too many Ungebundenes Mana spheres will take heavy to fatal damage from the Instabiles Mana DoT

It is important that all players attempt to soak Ungebundenes Mana spheres equally, so that no one player is burdened with high stacks of Instabiles Mana

Ungebundenes ManaUngebundenes ManaMacht verschmelzen

This can rapidly snowball into allowing the Mana Devourer to gain maximum mana

The party should form a ring around the Mana Devourer, just inside the boss's targeting circle

This will ensure that all angles of approach are covered by at least one player

Try to absorb all of the Ungebundenes Mana spheres possible, but don't run too far out to do so

Players who stray too far from the healer are likely to die

Instabiles ManaEnergievakuum

Energievakuums will appear as large purple patches on the ground, near a random player's location

Standing in the Energievakuum will deal moderate damage every second

This damage will also remove 1 stack of Instabiles Mana with each tick

Instabiles ManaEnergievakuum

Use a defensive cooldown when available, as the combination of Energievakuum and Instabiles Mana deals heavy damage

As soon as the Instabiles Mana stacks are gone, step out of the Energievakuum

Only do this after all existing Ungebundenes Mana spheres have been absorbed, either by players or the Mana Devourer!

Arkane BombeEnergieentladung

Every 15 seconds, Mana Devourer will create an Arkane Bombe around a random player's location

4 seconds later, the bomb will detonate, dealing heavy damage to players within 10 yards

Players should move away from nearby Arkane Bombes

Every 25-30 seconds, the Mana Devourer will deal unavoidable AoE damage with Energieentladung

Healers should be sure to top up low-health players, or players with multiple stacks of Instabiles Mana, before Energieentladung is cast

Ungebundenes ManaInstabiles ManaKampfrauschHeldentumZeitkrümmung

Avoid standing in Arkane Bombe or Energievakuum pools

Try to move Mana Devourer as little as possible

But if unsoaked Ungebundenes Mana is approaching, pull Mana Devourer away from it to give the party more time to soak the orbs

If you soak Ungebundenes Mana and gain Instabiles Mana stacks, use stronger cooldowns until you can get to an Energievakuum pool

Use DPS cooldowns at the start for 30 seconds of uninterrupted, low-movement damage

Move out of Arkane Bombe and Energievakuum pools

When Mana Devourer creates Ungebundenes Mana orbs, intercept them before they reach the boss

When all the Ungebundenes Mana orbs have been collected or reabsorbed, run into an Energievakuum to drop your Instabiles Mana stacks

Use a defensive CD while dropping Instabiles Mana stacks, particularly if you have more than 2-3 stacks of it

Top players up before and after Energieentladung

Players with more stacks of Instabiles Mana will require more healing

Use raid CDs to deal with the party damage of using Energievakuums to drop Instabiles Mana stacks

Intercept Ungebundenes Mana before it reaches the boss

When all the Ungebundenes Mana orbs have been collected or reabsorbed, run into an Energievakuum to drop your Instabiles Mana stacks

Use a defensive CD while dropping Instabiles Mana stacks, particularly if you have more than 2-3 stacks of it

Viz'aduum the WatcherNotable Trash MobsManaschlinger

These Mana Devourers create orbs of Loose Mana that travel quickly toward them

If Loose Mana reaches a Mana Devourer, it will cast Mana absorbieren, dealing party-wide AoE damage

If a player absorbs the Loose Mana, they will gain Absorbiertes Mana, increasing healing and damage done by 10%

Absorbiertes Mana also deals damage to the player who soaks it, but as a moderate one-off hit

Players should soak Loose Mana orbs when possible/above 50% health

The healer may need to use CDs to recover from Mana absorbieren damage if multiple orbs are absorbed by the Devourers

Kultivierte Schlächterin

The Erudite Slayer will frequently attack the ground with a Mächtiger Hieb

This knocks players back, and can knock players off the edge if positioned poorly

Mächtiger Hieb is usually aimed at the tank, so it can be avoided by staying behind the Slayer or at maximum range

The Slayer's Mächtiges Schmettern will create a fel pool at the tank's location that draws nearby players toward it

Often, Mächtiges Schmettern is followed by a Mächtiger Hieb

Run away from the fel pool to avoid being knocked back by Mächtiger Hieb

The pieces will not move to attack players, nor while they are under attack

Pieces not in combat will periodially make a valid chess move

Immediately following the move, the piece will light up all squares that represent its valid moves from the new position

After a few seconds, any players standing in these highlighted squares will take extremely heavy to fatal damage

The Knight moves in an L shape (2 squares in one direction, then 1 square to the side) with Springerzug
Springerzug deals extremely heavy damage to any player standing in, or adjacent to, its destination square

After moving, the Knight will then cast Springerzug, lighting up the four squares that are valid knight moves from the Knight's new location

Läuferzug

After moving, the Bishop will then cast Läuferzug (if black) or Läuferzug {if white)

These spells light up all squares diagonal to the Bishop's current position

Turmzug

Turmzug deals extremely heavy to fatal damage to all players in its path

After moving, the Rook will cast Turmzug, lighting up all squares in the same row or column as the Rook's new position

Damenzug

After moving, the Queen will then light up all squares that are valid Rook or Bishop moves with Damenzug

Viz'aduum Tips & StrategyViz'aduum der Beobachter

When Viz'aduum reaches 66% health remaining, he will summon a Dämonisches Portal and escape to the nearest Legion Command Ship. Players may take this Dämonisches Portal to pursue him, and enter phase 2 of the fight.

At 33% health, Viz'aduum will summon another Dämonisches Portal to flee to the second Legion Command Ship, where he will attempt to open a portal to the Twisting Nether and allow a flow of Legion troops to invade Azeroth.

KampfrauschHeldentumZeitkrümmungCore Mechanics - All PhasesDesintegration

Desintegration is a long-range fel beam that deals extremely heavy damage to any player standing in its path

The Desintegration damage also knocks players back

Players should always watch where Viz'aduum's large center eye is facing, and side-step out of the way during the Desintegration cast

If you cannot get away, use a defensive cooldown to reduce the damage from the Desintegration hit

Desintegration is cast approximately every 10 seconds throughout the encounter

Chaotische Schatten

The Chaotische Schatten debuff deals moderate damage to its target

When the debuff expires or is dispelled, 8 Explosive Schatten orbs will form at the target's location

These Explosive Schatten will fly away from the player in straight lines

If an Explosive Schatten orb strikes a player, it will burst, dealing extremely heavy damage to all players within 10 yards of the orb

Chaotische Schatten

Players targeted with Chaotische Schatten should move away from other party members

Melee DPS targeted by Chaotische Schatten should at least back up to maximum melee range; Viz'aduum's hitbox is quite large

Healers should dispel Chaotische Schatten once the targeted player is in a good position

The targeted player should stand still once dispelled; running into your own Explosive Schatten orbs is fatal

The rest of the party should look for approaching Explosive Schatten and dodge them

Chaotische SchattenExplosive SchattenBrennschlag

Brennschlag deals moderate Fire damage initially, and leaves a DoT effect

The DoT effect lasts 8 seconds, and will stack and refresh its duration on each application

At approximately 3-4 stacks, the tank damage from Brennschlag becomes dangerously high

Interrupting 2 Brennschlag casts in a row will allow the DoT stacks to fall off

The Brennschlag debuff can also be dispelled, but healers also need to dispel Chaotische Schatten so cannot always dispel the Brennschlag DoT

Brennschlag

Assign the tank and one other trustworthy player to interrupt Brennschlag casts

It is likely impossible to interrupt every Brennschlag cast, so don't plan to try

When the tank has 2 stacks of Brennschlag, the tank should interrupt the next Brennschlag cast

The other player assigned to this task should interrupt the cast after that

This should give the Brennschlag DoT enough time to expire

Most interrupt abilities should be back off cooldown by the time the tank reaches 2 stacks of Brennschlag again

Keep this interrupt rotation up for the entire fight

If there is a mistake and the tank reaches 3 or more stacks of Brennschlag, the healer should dispel

Phase 1: NetherspaceTeufelsstrahl

The Command Ship will cast the Zielerfassung debuff on a random, non-tank player

After five seconds, the Command Ship will fire a Teufelsstrahl that locks on to the targeted player's location for 8 seconds

Teufelsstrahl will deal moderate damage to the player if it strikes them directly

The Teufelsstrahl also creates large pools of Teufelsflammen at the player's location every second

These pools persist for 1 minute and deal heavy damage to players who stand in them

ZielerfassungTeufelsstrahlTeufelsstrahlTeufelsstrahlTeufelsstrahlTeufelsstrahlTeufelsflammenTeufelsflammenBombardement

Bombardement lasts for 10 seconds

During this time, the Command Ship will pelt the encounter area with dozens of Bombardement missiles

Players struck by these missiles will take heavy damage

All players should attempt to move out of the Bombardement, but this may not always be possible, as new zones spawn every 0.3 seconds

Use a defensive cooldown to mitigate Bombardement damage if you cannot avoid it

After the first Bombardement, subsequent Bombardements occur every 40 seconds

Dämonisches PortalPhase 2: Command ShipTeufelsstrahlBombardementDesintegration

Viz'aduum fires Desintegration in one of three directions, randomly chosen for each cast

He may fire straight down the deck, or slightly to the left, or slightly to the right

Players must avoid being struck by Desintegration as they run toward Viz'aduum, so they are not heavily damaged or knocked back

Watch the direction Viz'aduum is facing and move to a safe side of the deck

The first player to reach Viz'aduum can stop the Desintegration spam-casting by attacking the boss

This will cause Viz'aduum to attack the player, so tanks should either reach Viz'aduum first, or be ready to taunt him off the other player

Seelenernter

Stepping into the fel lightning will deal Seelenernte damage

Ideally, players who are dodging Desintegrations will step into the safe spaces between Legion Soul Harvesters

It is better to take Seelenernte damage than Desintegration damage

BombardementChaotische SchattenExplosive SchattenDämonisches PortalPhase 3: The Rift!Riss stabilisieren

There is a small rift behind Viz'aduum that will periodically summon Wachposten der Teufelswache adds

If Viz'aduum completes the Riss stabilisieren cast, this rift will summon the Felguard Sentries continuously

This will overwhelm the party with adds and make defeating Viz'aduum nearly impossible

To prevent this from happening, players must reach Viz'aduum at the end of the ship and interrupt this cast

Riss stabilisieren

These adds do not deal heavy melee damage, so the tank can round up all 6 at once

They will debuff the tank with Lodernder Kniesehnenschnitt, reducing movement speed and adding a stacking DoT effect

Drag all 6 Felguard Sentries to the boss so that Riss stabilisieren can be interrupted

Use AoE stuns and other CC to control the Felguard Sentries

Quickly burst the large pack of Felguard Sentries down, then focus damage on the boss

Riss stabilisierenBombardementTeufelsstrahlChaotische Schatten

The healer should dispel one target quickly, then let the other two expire

If a melee player is targeted, dispel them first

Players who were not dispelled first should try to move to opposite sides of the Command Ship deck

This should make it easy for the rest of the party to dodge the incoming Explosive Schatten

Schattenauswurf

Tank Viz'aduum in the center of the encounter space

Interrupt Brennschlag

Use cooldowns if you reach 3+ stacks of the Brennschlag DoT or if you are targeted by Chaotische Schatten

Move out of the path of Desintegration and incoming Explosive Schatten orbs

During Phases 1 and 2, avoid standing in the Bombardement impact zones

Take the Dämonisches Portal to the Legion Command Ship on each phase transition

At the start of Phase 2, assess the direction of Viz'aduum's Desintegration casts and step onto the sides of the ship if necessary to avoid them

Try to be the first player to reach Viz'aduum in Phase 2

At the start of Phase 3, drag the 6 Felguard Sentries to the boss

Pick up the two new Felguard Sentries that spawn shortly after arriving and again every 25 seconds

If targeted by Chaotische Schatten, quickly move away from other players, and once dispelled, do not move into your Explosive Schatten orbs

Interrupt Brennschlag to help the tank's Brennschlag DoT stacks fall off

Move out of the path of Desintegration and incoming Explosive Schatten orbs

During Phase 1, if targeted by Zielerfassung/Teufelsstrahl, run out to the edge of the platform and overlap the Teufelsflammen as much as possible

During Phases 1 and 2, avoid standing in the Bombardement impact zones

Take the Dämonisches Portal to the Legion ship on each phase transition

At the start of Phase 2, assess the direction of Viz'aduum's Desintegration casts and duck into the sides of the ship if necessary to avoid them

Interrupt Riss stabilisieren at the start of Phase 3

In Phase 3, use efficient cleave/AoE to kill the Felguard Sentry adds, but the primary DPS target should still be Viz'aduum

Dispel Chaotische Schatten from its target once the player runs away from others

If Chaotische Schatten isn't imminent, dispel Brennschlag from the tank, especially if it reaches 3 or more stacks

Players targeted by Teufelsstrahl or Chaotische Schatten, or struck by Desintegration or Bombardement, will require heavy healing

When multiple targets are affected by Chaotische Schatten, dispel one quickly (a melee target is best) and let the other ones expire

Move out of the path of Explosive Schatten and Desintegration

Avoid standing in the Bombardement impact zones

When targeted by Zielerfassung/Teufelsstrahl, run to the edge of the platform and drop the Teufelsflammen as close together as possible

Take the Dämonisches Portal to the Legion ship on each phase transition

At the start of Phase 2, assess the direction of Viz'aduum's Desintegration casts and duck into the sides of the ship if necessary to avoid them

During Phase 3, the tank will require heavy healing, especially when Felguard Sentries are active

Dispel the Brennschlag and Lodernder Kniesehnenschnitt debuffs from the tank between Chaotische Schatten casts

Pretty detailed, but it's a lot of text to get through if you can just do it on heroic and basically don't have to worry too much, or read the short tactics before each boss. Though there is already another guide that was made a while ago, that basically covers the same.

Kommentar von ealdrich

As implied by some of the descriptions, it's better to have at least one ranged dps and preferably two. All melee dps groups will find the final boss much more difficult (especially on higher levels) than ones with at least one ranged dps.
