Execution and Raid SetupFirestormTanks: 2

Only 2 tanks are needed for this encounter.

Classes are irrelevant.

Healers: 4

We recommend to use at least 2 classes with a throughput healing cooldown such as Tranquility and Healing Tide, you will want it for the Firestorm.

A balanced healer setup is always a safe bet for any fight.

DPS: 14

This fight is all about killing the wolves, there will be 4 of them, so you will want classes that are good for 4 targets, such as Warlock, Warriors and Balance Druids.

A good balance between ranged and melee dps is recommended.

You will need melees to soak the Molten Torrent.

StrategyEnchanted ArmamentAknor Steelbringer

From 0 -> 25 energy the fight is somewhat relaxed, but take this time to put as much damage into the boss as possible.

At 25 energy Ka'graz will put Molten Torrents on your raid, have them run into melee range of the boss to get help from melees and tank to mitigate it. It's important that you position yourself exactly inside the boss so that you are sure that you have enough people to help you soak it. This will repeat from 25 -> 50 energy.

After, when the energy reaches 50, the difficult part of the fight begins, the Cinder Wolves. Here you will want people with Fixate to move into the boss, you want all the wolves to be stacked up, so that you efficiently can AoE them down. If you use a shaman then it's a good idea to use a Spirit Link Totem here since the people with Fixate will require some extra healing. But it's worth it so you can kill them off quickly. If you don't have a shaman, then you can replace it with another cooldown instead. But make sure you have something saved for the Firestorm.

At 75 energy she will cast Blazing Radiance on random targets. It's not a difficult ability, just make sure that the raid is spread out properly. And if you have Blazing Radiance during the Firestorm it's very important that you don't move into the boss together with the raid.

At 100 energy, she will perform the Firestorm. You will want the entire raid to move onto the boss to make healing easier, you should use the free cooldowns you have here. But make sure you still have something left for the 2nd Firestorm. If you used a cooldown for the 1st Cinder Wolves they will be up for the 2nd Firestorm!

After performing Firestorm, her energy will reset to 0 and it's a repeat from the start.

FirestormClass TipsDruid

Use Stampeding Roar when gathering up for Firestorm, and if you have two druids, use one when spreading out again.

Use Displacer Beast and you can make some big plays when the Enchanted Armaments are about to spawn, blink as far away as possible, and try to spawn it there!
