Pattern: Verdant ConduitDisclaimerIntroductionCouncil of DreamsAmirdrassil, the Dream’s HopeCouncil of Dreams Mechanics Cheat sheetRaid Positioning
This encounter does not have specific positioning requirements, as it will be shifting throughout the fight with boss movement and abilities. Generally, try to stay loosely spread near the bosses, and try to stack at least two of the bosses together for cleave.

Make sure to kill all three bosses at once to avoid them casting Rebirth.
Blind Rage

At 100 energy, Urctos will start channeling a ramping AoE ability, which must be interrupted by dispelling Polymorph Bomb on top of him.
Details about Polymorph Bomb can be found in the Pip section.

Barreling Charge

Urctos will charge towards his current target, dealing a large amount of damage reduced by the number of players he charges through.
Assign about a third of your raid, at least all the melee DPS to stand in its path.
Make sure Barreling Charge is aimed at Aerwynn if she is channeling Constricting Thicket.
Failing to interrupt Blind Rage will cause Ursine Rage, which increases Urctos’s damage by 500%.

Constricting Thicket

At 100 energy, Aerwynn will start channeling vines for 20 seconds, dealing increasing Nature damage every 3 seconds.
This channel can be interrupted by aiming Barreling Charge through the boss.
Failing to interrupt Constricting Thicket will cause Relentless Barrage, applying a stacking dot on the entire raid for 30 seconds.

Noxious Blossom

Waves of Noxious Blossoms will spawn on the ground, which pulse a small amount of damage on the whole raid until destroyed.
Standing on a Noxious Blossom will deal a much higher amount of ticking damage.
These flowers can be destroyed by running over them while Polymorphed. More information in the Pip section.

Song of the Dragon

At 100 energy, Pip will cause all players to absorb Corrosive Pollen damage.
This absorb can be broken by standing on a Noxious Blossom.
Failing to break the shield will cause players to be stunned and take damage over 15 seconds.

Polymorph Bomb

Polymorph Bomb will transform players into ducks for 12 seconds.
While Polymorphed, players need to run over Noxious Blossoms to consume them, which will get rid of Hungry stacks. Once Satiated, players can cast Preen to remove Polymorph from themselves.
If Urctos is casting Blind Rage, make sure to cast Preen while standing near him.
Cast Quack! to move quicker, and avoid casting Preen near other players.

Emerald Winds

Pip will channel a massive gust of wind which deals damage and pushes players away for 3 seconds.
Make sure to position yourself away from Noxious Blossoms.

Urctos

Barreling Charge will apply a vulnerable debuff to players struck, requiring alternating two groups of players per charge.
Agonizing Claws, the tank ability, will be a frontal cone, so make sure to avoid standing in front of the boss.

Pip

Polymorph Bomb will duplicate to players within 7 yards when removed. Make sure to avoid standing near others when casting Preen.

Tanks

Agonizing Claws will deal a large amount of physical damage to the tank and apply a 300% vulnerability. Taunt swap after each cast.
When targeted by Barreling Charge, make sure to stand behind Aerwynn, otherwise it can be aimed towards the closest edge of the room.
Since only Urctos can be moved, make sure to tank him near other bosses for cleave.

Healers

Random players will get targeted by Poisonous Javelin, which is a Poison Effect that must be dispelled.
This dot will deal ramping damage and slow to targeted players.
Expect higher than usual damage during Barreling Charge, Emerald Winds, and Constricting Thicket.

As a note on LFR - all 3 bosses have their HP linked. Therefore you don't have to manage targets, you can cheese it and burn down whichever boss you want.

Also another note, during Aerwynns Constricitng Thicket if you miss Ursocs charge he will immediately charge again. Therefore if you miss, don't panic just prepare for an additional charge. You only get two chances to interrupt her.
