This fight mostly consists of using anima powers granted by the trash mobs around the boss.

Positioning away from the beam is important when Annihilating Glare activates. Use Soulshape to teleport through the beam, though it is a bit hard to time.

In the last stage, Immediate Extermination causes this fight to get much harder and reduces healing. I recommend having Dispersion ready for damage events while this debuff is stacking.

This is a fight where Shadow might be able to lend a hand with , but be sure to communicate with your group beforehand.

Be ready to AoE adds after Domination Chains is cast. could be excellent for this.

On Mythic, this fight is much less about beating the dps check than it was early on, play cleanly and focus on survival.

Be careful timing your cooldowns in phase 3, so as to avoid overlapping them with when the boss disappears to cast veil.
