Discipline Priest Vault of the Incarnates Boss Tips Eranog

General Eranog Build:

Watch tanks when Burning Wound are applied. Never stand in front of the boss due to Molten Cleave.

Constantly be dispelling Leaping Flames when applied. You can talent Mass Dispel as needed to support but if all healers are dispelling it should be fine.

Closely position Flamerift near others to stack adds together but make sure you have an escape route to avoid the void zone affects.

Incinerating Roar deals heavy raid wide damage with the first cast going off 0:05 into the encounter and about every 30 seconds after that and almost immediately after the intermission ends.

During the intermission of Army of Flame be sure to stand near the boss in the middle of the room to have time to plant and heal while raid damage is ticking from Pulsing Flames.

Terros

Terros Build:

Watch Rock Blasts as these should often be soaked by ranged.

Players will spawn Awakened Earth through debuffs. Lining these up will allow the tank to destroy them with Concussive Slam or Rock Blast, triggering raid wide damage from Seismic Assault when destroyed. Usually it will be the slam.

Concussive Slam will deal large damage to your tank and trigger the usual raid wide damage so be sure to keep an eye on your tank ahead of this ability as it can be very easy for them to drop low from this damage and then die to the resulting ticking damage of Seismic Assault.

Concussive Slam occur around every 45 seconds, perfect for Discipline ramps. The cadence will be place pillars, tank destroys them with the line, heal through that damage, another tank line that will destroy no pillars (assuming you don't need to space out killing pillars) then Disc ramp to destroy the next set. Then after that 2nd set of pillars is destroyed you'll move to the next pie slice of the room and the next ideal ramp period will occur about a minute later.

So to reiterate. Disc ramp completing around 25-35 seconds into the fight, then another ramp 45 seconds later. Then a 1 minute break until the next ramp should be complete then 45 seconds until the next ramp.

The Primal Council

The Primal Council Build:

Mythic Ramp Timers - Use Rapture/Evangelism together and about on cooldown. activated on or around 0:22, 2:01, 3:30. Almost on cooldown throughout the encounter as each boss is throwing out another combination of abilities.

This encounter revolves around playing with elementals and their counters.

Earthen Pillar will spawn on player locations throughout the encounter and on higher difficulties will pulse light damage.

Conductive Mark occur about every 30 seconds and are removed by standing on Earthen Pillar. Standing on other players will duplicate the debuff. So quickly clearing and then moving aside is imperative.

Meteor Axes will target allies and need to be group soaked. These will spawn fire puddles on mythic that you use later but they also destroy pillars. You'll need to sometimes destroy pillars and sometimes leave them be to deal with Marks.

Primal Blizzard on higher difficulties requires jumping into fire to remove the debuff stacks and reduce overall damage taken and avoid being stunned. This is an ideal time for cooldowns as they occur around every 60-70 seconds starting around 0:41 seconds into the fight.

The challenge comes when Conductive Mark occur closely with Primal Blizzard and this is where Disc ramps are best suited.

Sennarth, The Cold Breath

Sennarth, The Cold Breath Build:

Mythic Ramp Timers - Use Rapture/Evangelism together. activated on or around 0:15, 1:59, 3:39, 5:12, 6:46. Almost on cooldown throughout the encounter for Large spider AoE and Chill blast.

Most of the arena is covered in Icy Ground so keep in mind that your character will frequently slide across this room!

Sticky Webbing is the most important part of this encounter and easily dealt with as a Priest. You will talent into Phantasm for Fade to remove slow effects. Sticky Webbing will stack slows on you that you will need to self-apply, once the mechanic listed below passed you'll want to use Fade to remove those slows from yourself and allow you to continue moving towards the next stage of the encounter.

Gossamer Burst is crucial on this encounter. It occurs around every :45 seconds and pulls players into the boss and if they are not in a web, off the edge. Be sure that you will be pulled into a web by the boss' mechanic and you will avoid falling off the ledge. You can jump into one ahead of time but I found that being pulled into one felt safer in testing.

Web Blast deals moderate tank damage though this encounter, just keep in mind your tanks stacks and continue supporting as needed.

Chilling Blast first is put out at 0:19 seconds into the encounter and repeats about every 40 seconds for healing.

Repelling Burst only occurs at the end of the fight and requires you to use the webs in reverse order to the start of the fight.

Damage was very low on testing so we'll have to see how high the damage intake is to properly time ramps but the principles of being in the back of the room (until the push back in last phase), being dragged into a web and being lightly spread from other players holds true throughout the fight.

Dathea, Ascended

Dathea, Ascended Build:

Mythic Ramp Timers - Use Rapture/Evangelism together. activated on or around 0:36, skip 2nd (some skip 3rd cyclone), 3:37, 5:05, 6:35. Almost on cooldown throughout the encounter Cyclones BUT some players opt to skip the 2nd wave and resync with Cyclones later and some do not.

Tornados fill this boss arena over time, standing near the edges of the room can be great for orienting yourself and dodging the Raging Tempest, especially during Crosswinds.

Conductive Mark deals steady damage and like on Primal Council will duplicate onto other players if you touch them, on mythic you use these marks to activate Volatile Infuser.

When these infusers die they burst with a Blowback allowing you to travel to other platforms and kill the adds there. With another Blowback to return.

Cyclone deals heavy damage and drags players into the boss. This occurs at 0:40 into the encounter and repeats every 1.5mins. Ramps are needed here and are especially challenging to use damage abilities while you get dragged in so be sure to be in the back of the room and to be running away from the boss when channeling Penance or using Shadow Word: Death as a movement/damage global to continue your damage mid ramp.

On mythic removing Conductive Mark also deals raid wide damage allowing another ramp opportunity in between Cyclone but it is dependent on your raid team placing those debuffs onto the Infuser so coordination and timing is important if they want to capture your ramp window appropriately.

Kurog Grimtotem

Kurog Grimtotem Build:

Mythic Ramp Timers - Use Rapture/Evangelism together. activated on or around 0:15, 1:51, 3:23, 4:57, 6:31. Almost on cooldown throughout the encounter as Kurog cycles through elements and add ability combos.

This encounter focuses again on elements with the players choosing which altars they interact with first. These phases last about 2 minutes each followed by an intermission phase Elemental Surge of 45 seconds. Whenever the boss is brought to a new alter he immediately bursts with Primal Shift which increases each time he moves to a new alter.

Searing Carnage is similiar to the Stone Legion Generals earthen mechanic requiring players to move as a group and place fire puddles.

Raging Inferno spawns from fire puddles when activated by the boss. Soaking these will deal damage and consume the magma.

In ice phase the boss will spew orbs that stun any players struck, these Frigid Torrent can be dispelled and should be done immediately.

Earthen phase features Enveloping Earth which absorbs a flat amount of healing, ramps likely will be placed here but are variable depending on the route you take in the room.

Broodkeeper Diurna

Broodkeeper Diurna Build:

Mythic Ramp Timers - Use Rapture/Evangelism together. activated on or around 0:18, then on cooldown for the Greatstaff of the Broodkeeper damage as the raid will frequently pair egg breaks and/or the boss' fire AoE alongside those Greatstaffs / Empowered Greatstaffs which deal heavy raid wide damage.

Icy Shroud and Frozen Shroud can be displled and improved Mass Dispel is wonderful on this encounter to quickly remove these debuffs.

Much of the encounter the raid is split into two groups, destroying eggs and the other side destroying the spawned clutch.

Greatstaff of the Broodkeeper is the primary raid-aoe going out on this encounter and it bursts around every 30 seconds. This encounter as a healer is all about watching your feet, spacing out cooldowns before each burst from the Greatstaff, and triaging allies as needed that are caught in poor positions or voidzones.

Greatstaff of the Broodkeeper staff timings around 0:16, 0:41, 1:06, 1:31, 1:59, 2:21, 2:46, 3:11 and so on. Almost always 25-35 seconds.

Raszageth the Storm-Eater

Raszageth the Storm-Eater Build:

In P1, your primary points to ramp will be Hurricane Wing or Static Charge. Many of these abilities cross over each other to deal heavy damage so I'd recommend ramping about 2 or 3 seconds into the pull, giving you time to build Harsh Discipline, then beginning your ramp soon after.

In phase 1, damage from these ability combos and spark formations happen at 0:20, 0:38, 1:15, 1:30, and 1:49.

In P2, Stormsurge is the primary mechanic to ramp for. The issue here is that they occur on about 1min 20 sec intervals making it difficult to properly maximize cooldowns.

When coming back from the first intermission I immediately build Harsh Discipline if I don't already have it, then begin ramping, the timers can vary depending on your P1 / P2 phase so keep this in mind. Your Atonement application for your first ramp in P2 should begin 4-5 seconds after the boss is attackable.

Be freely and aggressively using excess Power Word: Radiance charges throughout this fight for knockbacks and to cover in between ramp damage.

Hi! This page isn't allowing for proper copying of any of the boss specific talent builds except Sennarth. Not sure if that's because that's the only different one, but it's the only one that doesn't come up with [=talent-build-256, rather than the multitude of letters in the code.
