ExecutionImperator Mar’gokCho’gallCho’gallRaid SetupTanks: 3

Using three tanks helps improve stability in this fight.

Having a tank that can deliver heavy AoE damage to the Arcane Remnants that they are tanking makes a big difference.

Also, sharing the tank damage between three tanks instead of two makes a world of difference and does relieve your healers and tanks from a lot of pressure.

Healers: 5

The healer setup is relevant to the tank setup. If you are using two tanks it is advised you bring an extra holy paladin for the tank healing.

Otherwise, going with a balanced setup is recommended. A balanced healer setup is always a safe bet for any fight. Having said that, discipline priests are very helpful because they can shield Colère des Arcanes targets.

DPS: 12

Good AoE damage for the Arcane Remnants and Night-Twisted Faithfuls (i.e. enhancement shaman, combat rogues, death knights, arms warriors)

Good single target burst damage for the Arcane Aberrations (i.e. shadow priests, marksmanship hunters, destruction warlocks)

Many interrupts for the Gorian Warmages (any melee dps, rogues using deadly throw, blood elf racials if you are Horde)

External cooldowns for your tanks to survive (i.e. retribution paladins, arms warriors). In general, you want to have a healthy balance between ranged and melee dps.

Phase 1 Displacement and ReplicationRésonance destructriceAberration des ArcanesAberration des ArcanesRésonance destructriceVestige des ArcanesEmprise de FielsangColère des Arcanes

When the Boss casts the Colère des Arcanes these assigned players need to make their way away from the rest of the raid.

They only need to move 25 yards away and get rid of it when it has a 25 yards jump radius with a small damage mitigation cooldown.

The group that manages Colère des Arcanes should be moving clockwise.

Colère des ArcanesImperator Mar’gokAssaut accéléréMarque du ChaosBond héroïque

The tank that takes the Marque du Chaos is running away from the raid and explodes in a safe distance.

After the explosion happens the raid should watch out for incoming Orbes du Chaos and avoid them.

Nova de forceNova de forceTransfertPhase 1Intermission: Dormant RunestonesMage de guerre gorienÉnergie du Néant

Mage de guerre goriens fixate on a target and they are casting Nether Blast on him for 15 seconds. Fixé targets are supposed to move away from the others because of its splash damage.

You should focus one Gorian Warmage down and then move on the second one (keep interrupting both targets though).

Anomalie volatileAnomalie volatileMage de guerre gorienMaîtrise des aurasAnomalies volatilesPhase 2 Displacing and FortificationMage de guerre gorienMarque du ChaosMarque du Chaos

On the first Marque du Chaos, the ranged move from the Sword Marker to the Cross Marker.

On the second Marque du Chaos, move from the Cross Marker to the Triangle Marker.

On the third Marque du Chaos, move from the Triangle Marker to the Circle Marker.

Lastly, on the fourth Marque du Chaos, move from the Circle Marker to the Square Marker.

If everything goes according to plan, you shouldn't get a fifth Marque du Chaos.

Colère des Arcanes

Because of all the movement that the ranged camp does in this phase, the Colère des Arcanes soakers need to adjust their movement paths as well.

Due to the fact that the Displacing Rune is still active in this phase, the initial branded player cannot move more than 10yards.

In order to ensure that the first jump of Colère des Arcanes goes to one of the two soakers, there should be one at the ranged camp and one at the melee camp.

The debuff should be dealt with, either at the 63yards, or the 48yards jumps, depending on the distance that it has from the rest of the raid (always play it safe).

The paths that the soakers need to take in order to get rid of each of the Colère des Arcaness are shown in the pictures below.

Colère des ArcanesColère des ArcanesRésonance destructriceIntermission: Lineage of PowerSaccageur gorien

Handle everything else the same way as you did on the first intermission. Saccageur gorien should be tanked on the same spot where Anomalies volatiles are killed, so no change here.

Make sure your second in threat tank is prepared for some heavy damage after Coup de pied au visage happens.

When the boss becomes active again, gather the raid on him –face Goarian Reaver away, you don't want him to shockwave your raid- use your mitigation cooldowns and blow the adds again and prepare for phase 3.

Phase 3 Fortification and ReplicationColère des ArcanesImperator Mar’gok

On the very first Colère des Arcanes four people gather up -including the person who has the Colère des Arcanes- and move towards the Triangle Marker.

Then the four people remain there and deal with it by moving away from the rest of the raid until Colère des Arcanes is at 48 yards.

Before the next jump of the Colère des Arcanes happens, two of the four people rejoin the rest of the raid and the remaining two soak the last two Colère des Arcaness of 48yard damage with a big cooldown.

Colère des ArcanesColère des Arcanes

Everyone who gets Colère des Arcanes on this phase should run to the melee camp (if he is ranged), drop this Colère des Arcanes, and move out again immediately.

Now, it's important to know that when the Colère des Arcanes is at 85 yards two assigned melee with good survivability cooldowns and good gap closing abilities (e.g. rogues , monks) should run at the Star Marker where they will take the next Colère des Arcanes and should immediately run to the Balcony behind the Square Marker side where they will soak the last 63 yard Colère des Arcanes on a safe distance from the raid.

Colère des ArcanesAberration des Arcanes

You need to kill it before it kills you, save your healers' mana, and relieve them from pressure. Also it helps people who soak Colère des Arcanes to be as topped as possible.

Can't stress this enough - Kill the Arcane Aberration ASAP. Remember, after killing one in this phase it does not knock anymore.

Vestige des ArcanesNova de forceBalayement de jambeNova de forceRéplication

Never move left or right for any reason.

Have your healers stand closer to the boss to always have range to everyone and your ranged dps behind them. Having your healers stationary for this phase helps significantly.

Make sure no dps interferes with them, stand and heal because the damage (especially when an Aberration des Arcanes is active) is really high and it's the only reason why this fight needs five healers, since the rest of the phases are pretty easy to heal.

Marque du ChaosBrewmaster Monk

Since the tank that gets targeted by the Mark is rooted as soon as they get the debuff, your Protection Warrior needs to Bond héroïque away / your Brewmaster Monk needs to Transcendance away towards the Square Marker while the Boss is casting it (2sec cast).

Remember that the raid still needs to watch out for the incoming Orbes du Chaos.

From the beginning of this phase you start placing the mines on the Diamond Marker and moving clockwise, so next ones should be towards the Triangle Marker up to the Circle Marker.

It is a good strategy to have all ranged raiders move close to mines that are already spawned when new Résonance destructrice are about to be cast. By doing that, you manage to have lot more space to spread for the Nova de forces.

Additionally, this means more space to avoid the Orbes du Chaos and no fear for the ranged when moving in the melee for the Colère des Arcanes. Generally, not flooding the room with mines helps you. Try to place them as gathered up as possible and gradually work your way to the Cercle marker. If you do things right you will not have to move further on and the boss will be at 5.5% by that time.

Then the roleplay will start with Cho’gall appearing which means the final mythic only phase is commencing.

Phase 4: Cho'gallAberration des ArcanesCho’gallMarque du ChaosColère des ArcanesAberration des ArcanesCho’gallFidèle corrompu par la nuitBarrage

The healers might take initial healing aggro, so make sure that they all have ways to survive (Prêtres using Disparition, Paladins using Bulle, Chamans / Druides / Moines getting a Bénédiction de protection).

Your Protection Warrior should also drop a near the Moon Marker and then move to the Circle Marker.

All the Night-Twisted Faithfuls should be gathered on your tank along with any Vestige des Arcanes leftovers and the raid has around 20 seconds to AoE them down. Try to make them die as close to each other as possible in order to have the Ombres grandissantes cover as little area as possible.

Cho’gallCho’gallCho’gallTénèbres infinies

Having assigned healers to maximize the healing done on the debuffed targets and not leaving it to chance is an obvious choice for this mechanic.

Have your strong spot healers to do as much as possible on Ténèbres infinies, while not neglecting tank healing of course.

It is critical to dispel the debuffs to get the raid shields for the Linceul de la nuits in order to survive the massive damage. Your healers need to organize themselves on the spot and decide whom to dispel last and basically spam heal that person, meaning that they will build a massive absorb shield – which will be the one that will be dispelled right before the second Linceul de la nuit which will do 400,000 raid damage. You don't really need a raid shield for the first Linceul de la nuit, since personal survivability and healer cooldowns are enough.

Healers have to communicate their picks with the rest of the raid because you should remember that these targets get zero healing while under the debuff – meaning if they take damage they shouldn't have, they will die. Also, if for example a rogue cloaks Ténèbres infinies and he was your priority absorb shield target and messes with your shield, you will wipe.

Ténèbres infinies requires good coordination and good play from all sides to avoid mistakes and wipes on the final phase.

Aperçu de la folieYeux des Abysses

You need to make 5 groups of 2 ranged dps or healers each, and assign each group to a specific Glimpse.

Once the first person in the group reaches 4-5 stacks of Regard des Abysses, they trade places with the second player. Rinse and repeat until the boss is dead.

If any of these soakers happen to get the Ténèbres infinies debuff while soaking the Regard des Abysses, they need to be dispelled instantly, otherwise they will quickly die.

Aperçu de la folie

Wait for the first Dark Star to spawn and then move quickly away from it, towards the Circle Marker. By that point another wave of Faithfuls will have spawned, making them twenty in total. Your 2 off-tanks should already have them gathered near the Circle Marker and once the boss is moved there, AoE them all down.

Wait for the second Glimpse to spawn and then move the Boss to the Triangle Marker (second group of soakers stays behind). Then wait for the third Glimpse to spawn and move the boss back to the middle of the room.

After the second Étoile noire has spawned (keep in mind it most likely will spawn in the middle, but it could also spawn at the soakers of the Glimpses), move the Boss to the Cross Marker. There should again be 2 waves of Faithfuls already up, and the 2 off-tanks must have them gathered up at the Cross Marker. Once Cho'gall is there, AoE everything down.

Again wait for the fourth Glimpse to spawn. Then move the boss to the Skull Marker.

Wait for the fifth Glimpse to spawn and move the Boss back to the middle of the room. This is pretty much your final destination. There will be one last Étoile noire followed by a sixth Glimpse right after. Cho’gall needs to be <10% health at this point. You have ~20 seconds before the third Linceul de la nuit cast, which will surely wipe the raid. The two off-tanks need to start kiting the Faithfuls, using stuns if necessary to survive. Make sure that the raid stays spread, because at this point people are probably going to start dying and you don't want explosions of Regard des Abysses killing more people.

Note: Since the Glimpses of Darkness can spawn on any random player, it is possible that it does spawn at a player who is already soaking a previous Glimpse. If that happens, the group assigned to that new Glimpse needs to react fast and go to it, before it starts shooting. Otherwise, the unlucky soaker will get hit by double Regards which results in instant death.

Linceul de la nuitClass TipsWindwalker Monk

Make sure you use Transcendance to avoid any Force Nova damage, also taking Vélocité will help to have enough rolls for every force nova if there's triple novas.

Soif du tigre can be used to remove Slow in the intermission phases.

Diffusion de la magie is the best defensive cooldown from our level 75 talents. Together with Toucher du karma you will almost always have a defensive cooldown to use.

Hunter

Use Deterrences on the last ticks of Colère des Arcanes.

Shadow Priest

Precast Power Word: Shield before the Abberations spawn to save you a global for when it's up and also save orbs so you can burst it down fast.

DPS Warrior

Save rage to execute adds with sweeping strikes active.

Charge/Intervene/Heroic Leap the Force Novas to minimize damage taken.

Warlock

This fight is Destruction heaven, and I highly advise playing this spec.

Make sure to Brûlure de l’ombre everything about to die, and use Tumulte as much as possible. Try to save embers for the big adds so you can kill them faster.

Healing Priest

Your preferred specialization for this encounter is discipline. Using Mot de pouvoir : Bouclier on Branded targets goes a long way.

Restoration Druid

For a long fight such as this one playing with Rêve de Cénarius is the way to go else you will hit mana problems. Also, Transfert bestial for the Force Novas is huge.

Holy Paladin

Vitesse de la Lumière for those Force Novas!

Restoration Shaman

Long fight with several phases demanding loads of burst of healing. Perfect scenario for your class. Make sure you have a good plan for when to use them and coordinate them with the rest of the healing team.

Tanks

Make sure you have a properly working addon that tells you what external cooldown is available for you to ask at any time (Hermes is a good one). Tank damage in this fight might be a problem, of course depending on your gear.
