Mythic+ Dungeons

General Mythic+ Tips

Try and save 5 combo points going into a Boss fight in order to start with Predatory Swiftness and a full savage roar

Watch the timings in between bosses to use berserk inbetween boss pulls

Some AOE abilities can be dodged using Protection of Ashamane

Skull Bash often!

Survival Instincts is a huge defensive cooldown use it frequently

Chug Potion of Prolonged Power like its water (every pull you can), try and avoid combat potting on trash however

General Mythic+ Talents

Predator is almost always the best option for Mythic +. Frequent resets and the ability to start every pull with Tiger's fury is hard to turn down.

Brutal Slash is the best choice whenever trash will make up the majority of your time in the dungeon.

Typhoon can be a great choice when an aoe interrupt or the ability to move mobs is needed, for example Sanguine

can be interchangeable with Moment of Clarity

Guardian Affinity may be needed on higher m+ dungeons where one shots may become an issue

Mythic + Legendary Choices

Luffa Wrappings is the best choice for any form of AOE content

Ailuro Pouncers is a good all purpose option when playing

Soul of the Archdruid and Behemoth Headdress are both good single target option for bosses

Chatoyant Signet is a good all around legendary option for both aoe and single target, especially in combination with Predator

DungeonsTalents:

Use the many movement abilities you have access to in order to beat the rest of your party up the boulder stairs

General & Trash Tips:

Balance Affinity can be usefull on Wyrmtongue Scavengers to avoid the knockback.

Use Prowl to skip the first trash packs.

Use stuns to interrupt Knife Dance and Arrow Barrage

Boss Tips:Amalgam of Souls:

Use Entangling Roots on the Restless Souls in order to delay Soul Burst

Tag each restless soul with a bleed in order to proc Predator

Use a defensive before Soul Burst

Illysanna Ravencrest:

If targeted by Dark Rush it is possible to line of sight the charge by hugging the pillar on the left along with the boss. If done correctly no blazing rush will be placed

You can root the Soul-torn Vanguard outside of the boss arena in order to remove it from the fight

Make sure to interrupt the Risen Arcanist

Smashspite:

Protection of Ashamane can be used to soak every single Hateful Charge

Position the Fel Vomit towards the edge of the room.

Kur'talos:

Save a charge of Survival Instincts for the Shadow Bolt Volley before Legacy of the Ravencrest is applied

Save cooldowns for after the Legacy of the Ravencrest buff is applied

Boss Tips:

The bosses in this dungeon are pretty straight forward, with few mechanics that you can game

Do your best to maximize your single target damage

When you get Arcane Lockdown, you better Jump! Jump! Jump! jump! (alternatively just shift out of cat form)

Pray you have an Alchemy or Rogue for higher difficulties to poison the Flask of the Solemn Night

Make sure to interrupt Hinder cast by Vigilant Duskwatch

There are two main pulls initially in this dungeon, half tent or full tent. Full tent pulls all mobs down to the tent before the boss and line of sights to gather. Half tent pulls all mobs down the hill to the tent before the drop off and gathers them there

Watch thrash range if you are using luffas, its easy to pull annoying mobs like Cove Seagull.

There's two different roles on this fight, Portals and Ground

If you're portal group then ensure the minibosses die ASAP, and ST talents may be reccomended
