Tanks: 2 – Doesn't matter too much which classes you bring.

Healers : 4 – Nothing special needed, a normal setup will work fine

DPS: 14 – You can definitely use a couple of Death Knights for the Death Grip in Phase 3 and also some Warriors for the Executes again in Phase 3. Other than that a normal setup will work just fine.

For the first one, since they spawn right after the Wrought Chaos is over, everyone in the raid runs towards the Star Marker in order to avoid the explosions. After the explosions everyone moves back to their original positions

The second wave of Shackled Souls comes during the second Wrought Chaoses. You should never attempt to break these Shackled Torments before the Wrought Chaos is over. Once it is over, everyone runs towards the Star Marker again to avoid the explosions. This time though, the raid stays at the Star Marker, because the next Shackled Torments will come before the next Wrought Chaos.

As soon as the third wave of Shackled Souls is spawned everyone runs back to their original positions to get away from them. (around this time you should be transitioning to Phase 2.5)

The fourth wave comes after the Wrought Chaos is over, but this time instead of running towards the Star Marker, everyone just finds the quickest safe spot to avoid the explosions and after they are exploded, move back to their original positions. The reason is that at this point there are a lot of Dreadstalkers alive, which makes stacking up a bad idea, so everyone gathering at the Star Marker is not viable.

The fifth and hopefully final wave comes right as the last tick of the next Wrought Chaos is about to hit. Once again, just wait for the Wrought Chaos to finish, find the quickest to get to safe spot and explode the Shackled Torments.

Very good guide! Glad to see the work Method has been doing with this guides!

The first thing we need to know about Phase 1 is that we need to bring Archimonde to 70.5% health before he casts his third Doomfire Spirit. The reason for this is because the fire never goes away and if you get a fourth Doomfire Spirit, the fire that you will need to soak up every time the boss casts Allure Flames will be way too much and will lead to casualties.

"third" should be "fourth"? typo?

You can use the weakaura radar for wrought chaos,or you can actually place yourself correctly and do it without being a little @#$%^,the choice is yours.
