Mythic Difficulty

Heroic Phase One and Phase Two abilities occur at the same time, from 100% to 40%.

You will have to deal with the Eye Beam and Silithid Warriors from phase one, and the Roiling Deceit and Nerubian Voidweavers from phase two.

Phase One: 100% - 40%Silithid WarriorNerubian VoidweaverSilithid WarriorNerubian Voidweaver

This happens 1 minute into the encounter and then every 2 minutes from that point onwards, until phase 2 is triggered at 40%, at which point no new adds will spawn.

Silithid Warrior

In order to kill the adds quickly, you may need to have DPS hold damage cooldowns or change talents to more AoE focused builds.

Adds will spawn every two minutes, starting at one minute.

Nerubian VoidweaverVoid Calling

This is a stacking 5% damage increase that the add gains every 6 seconds. Upon reaching 10 stacks, the add goes into a Void Trance which makes it immune to all crowd control effects.

The raid needs to ensure that all adds are dealt with within the 60 second time period, as otherwise they may become overwhelmed when the Nerubian Voidweavers break free of any crowd control spells.

We recommend hard crowd controlling two of the Nerubian Voidweavers as soon as they spawn, whilst the raid focuses on killing the remaining Nerubian Voidweaver. After that is done, the boss should be moved to the next and and the raid should finish them one by one.

The Void Bolt the Nerubian Voidweaver cast deals significantly more damage and must be interrupted/crowd controlled at all times, especially when the add has high stacks of Void Calling.

Eye Beam

This forces players to be spread before the beams occur, as the 1 second cast leaves little time for players to react.

This ability will overlap with the Surging Darkness. The group must spread in the available space to ensure they do not allow the Eye Beam to bounce.

Roiling Deceit

Instead the raid will have to deal with more of them than they did on heroic, as the debuffs will be applied from the beginning of the encounter, rather than from 60% boss hp.

Surging Darkness

Explosion 1: Small Ring

Explosion 2: Large Ring or Center Area (chosen randomly)

Explosion 3: Small Ring

Explosion 4: Large Ring or Center Area (chosen randomly)

There are four explosions per Surging Darkness, up from three!

Roiling DeceitSurging Darkness #1Roiling Deceit

These players should move to the as far away from the raid to drop their debuffs as they can, whilst staying within the safe space.

Roughly 5 seconds after the Surging Darkness has finished, the Eye Beam ability will begin, so the raid must spread out quickly.

Surging Darkness #2Roiling DeceitSurging Darkness

The player must make sure they can return to the safe space from wherever they dropped off their debuff.

Eye Beam will begin immediately as the zones appear, and will last until just after the 1st explosion has ended.
The entire raid should spread around the boss in a semi-circle, to ensure they remain within the safe Small Ring area whilst preventing the Eye Beam from jumping.

Ranged players must be ready to interrupt the add during this time, as melee players could potentially be out of range.

Surging DarknessSurging Darkness #3Surging Darkness

The raid must attempt to kill them as soon as possible, preferably before the 2nd explosion, as the safe space may be in the Centre Area where the Silithid Warriors are.

The raid should consider using knockbacks and other displacement spells to keep the Silithid Warriors at bay throughout this Surging Darkness.

Surging Darkness #4

Roiling Deceit debuffs will be placed on the raid as the explosions begin in such a way that will cause the Ominous Clouds to spawn during the last two explosions.
Just as before, players need to attempt to place their debuffs as far away from the raid as possible during the last to explosions.

Surging DarknessSurging DarknessPhase 2: 40% - 0%Eye BeamRoiling Deceit

This causes issues when assigning certain players to deal with the Orb of Corruption, as an assigned player may not be able to reach the orb if they are out dealing with other mechanics.

We recommend that you loosely assign the weakest last phase dps/healers to soak the orb first (those with low mana or poor execute/single target damage) with the better last phase players taking the orb last.

It is best to use Bloodlust and damage potions when the majority of DPS cooldowns align towards the beginning of the phase, as most players are alive to benefit from it.

Surging Darkness #5Surging DarknessSurging DarknessOrb of CorruptionEye Beam

We recommend that you assign a player with a mobile immunity, such as a Hunter or Paladin, to catch the orb during this time, as they will always be able to catch it regardless of whether is it going to fall within a safe zone or not.

We also recommend that players with any leftover defensive cooldowns use them during this period, as it somewhat likely that an Eye Beam may jump to one other target, especially if the Eye Beam occurs when the safe zone is in the Center Area of the Surging Darkness.
