Quick TipsAll Phases:

Stand within Ancient Wards to give them energy. You must prevent them from reaching 0%.

Avoid standing within Ancient Wards when you have high stacks of Anima Prosciugata.

Phase One:

Move the two mini-bosses in or out of line of sight when they cast either Ricordi Dolorosi or Desiderio.

Avoid standing within the Cuore Maledetto pools left excreted by the mini-bosses.

Tanks: Taunt each others mini-bosses when one of you reaches 3 stacks of Detonazione di Freddo.

Interrupt Aethenels Catena di Fulmini cast and dodge her Globi Fulminanti.

Make sure nobody is between you and Cyranus if he casts Lancia Caricata at you.

Stand within the Globi Arcani to reduce their energy and prevent them from exploding.

Ranged players should move to the edge of the room when Richiamo is cast on them.

Kill any bubbles to release players from them.

Crowd control and kill the Colosso Zelante as soon as possible.

Intermission One & Two

Soak the Globi Arcani as much as possible, as long as it doesn't go against your assigned decree.

Follow the decree assigned to you!
Soffri! - Soak an Arcane Orb. Obbedisci! Don't soak an Arcane Orb.

Aggregati! Stand near another player. Isolati! Don't stand near another player.

Phase Two

Tanks: Taunt off of one another to keep Vulnerabilità all'Arcano stacks to a minimum.

Position Azshara near to an Ancient Ward, and keep it energised to counteract her Macchinazioni Titaniche.

Ranged players should stand 35-40 yards away when marked with Richiamo to avoid becoming mind controlled.

Hide behind a pillar or titan console to prevent hitting the raid when your Scarica Arcana debuff expires.

Move out of line of sight of the boss when she casts Deflagrazione Arcana.

Crowd control and slow adds before they reach the Difesa del Potere.

Phase Three

Spread 8+ yards away from your allies if marked with Richiamo to avoid gaining Gelosia.

Move away from others when afflicted by Folgore Statica.

Interrupt the Tidemistresses Catena di Fulmini and kill them as soon as possible.

Remove the Scudo Cristallino from the Tidemistress by hitting them with a Lancia Caricata.

Phase Four

Ranged players should stand away from the Titan Console and Ancient wards to bait the Portale Fatuo zones in good locations.

Avoid standing in the Sguardo Penetrante beam shot by an orange eye at the edge of the room!

Tanks need to taunt off of each other when their Toccato dal Vuoto stacks drop.

Remove energy charges from the Titan Console in a staggered way to prevent a raid wipe when Picco di Energia Massiccia it triggered.

Encounter Mechanic - Ancient Wards

If an Ancient Ward reaches 0 energy, it will trigger a Impeto di Pressione which deals high ticking damage to the entire raid.

If all three Ancient Wards reach 0 energy, a Fallimento Catastrofico will occur which instantly kills the entire raid.

Players are able to read how much energy each Ancient Ward has by looking at the unique interface element which appears once Azshara has been engaged.

This UI element shows the position and energy of the Ancient Wards.

Anima ProsciugataAnima ProsciugataAnima Prosciugata

Stand in the Ancient Wards to energize them!

Phase OneAethenelCyranus

These enemies do not share a health pool and should be killed at roughly the same time, as one will gain Desiderio when the other dies, granting a 65% haste and 150% damage dealt increase.

Once these two enemies have been defeated, the first intermission will begin.

Regina Azshara will not actively engage the raid during phase one, instead only occasionally casting a spell that the raid needs to deal with.

Ricordi Dolorosi & DesiderioRicordi DolorosiDesiderio

These abilities will cause the two bosses to gain the Tormento debuff if they are or are not within line of sight of each other.

Ricordi Dolorosi requires that both bosses are out of line of sight of each other to prevent the Tormento debuff from being applied.

Desiderio requires that both bosses are within line of sight of each other to prevent the Tormento debuff from being applied.

Whilst either Ricordi Dolorosi or Desiderio are active, the bosses will dynamically gain or lose the Tormento debuff depending on the line of sight status.

The tanks need to utilise one of the three parts of the environment that can create line of sight to counter these abilities. These are the two pillars or the titan console.

Once Ricordi Dolorosi has ended, the bosses should be positioned on top of each other as to allow DPS to cleave between them.

Cuore MaledettoDesiderioRicordi DolorosiCuore Maledetto

These pools deal ticking damage to players within, whilst also reducing player attack speed, casting speed and movement speed by 30%.

Ideally these pools should be placed towards the edges of the encounter space, as to allow players to more easily move around the encounter area.

The Cuore Maledetto pools will remain for the rest of the encounter, so placing them correctly from the beginning will ensure that players will not have to worry about them later on in the fight.

Tanks should avoid placing Cuore Maledetto pools directly on top of any Ancient Wards, as this will lead to difficulties in topping up the energy of the ward.

Instead tanks should keep both bosses at the edges of the encounter space whenever they are due to spawn the Cuore Maledetto pools.

A good position for this is to tank Aethanel around the location Cyranus spawns. When Painful Memories is cast, drag Cyranus to the opposite side of the nearby pillar and continue to move until he is up against the wall.

Don't stand within the Cuore Maledetto pools!

AethenelAethenel

Catena di Fulmini: An interruptible cast which will deal damage to a random player and spread to nearby players. Interrupt this at all times.

Globi Fulminanti: Several orbs appear in the room and bounce 3 times before despawning, dealing damage to players they land on. Simply move from their landing locations, indicated by a blue swirly.

Detonazione di Freddo: A hit on the tank which applies a debuff. When this is cast on a target with 3 stacks of the debuff, it will stun them before hitting them for a large amount of frost damage via Frammento di Ghiaccio. Taunt on 3 stacks or simply take the hit if the bosses are too far apart!

Move away from the Lightning Orb landing locations!

CyranusCyranus

Bordo Seghettato: Each melee hit applies a hard hitting 6 second dot which can stack. This is not applied if the player dodges or parries the melee attack. Largely ignored, as tank switching is dictated by the Detonazione di Freddo spell.

Lancia Caricata: Marks a random nearby player before throwing a spear at them moments later, dealing a minor amount of damage to anyone along the path.

This Lancia Caricata will pierce through the player and continue to travel in a straight line until it leaves the encounter space.

If the spear hits any terrain, such as the pillars or titan console, it will explode, dealing extremely high raid damage. Players should position themselves so that this does not occur.

Risucchio Difesa Antica

All wards begin the encounter at full energy, and this removes 30% of one of the wards energy.

Players need to make sure that they recharge the ward as it is being drained, or make sure that the ward is already fully charged before she begins draining it.

Once an Ancient Ward has been drained, players should look to recharge it back to full energy whenever they can safely do so whilst not refreshing their Anima Prosciugata stacks.

RichiamoRisucchio Difesa AnticaRichiamo

After being notified via broadcast text, these players will automatically run to the middle of the encounter space towards a rune over 6 seconds.

Upon reaching the rune, the player will be encased in a bubble which deals damage equal to 8% of the players maximum health every second until the bubble is destroyed.

All ranged players should stand towards the edges of the encounter space when this ability is due to be cast, as this will generate enough distance that the Richiamo effect will end before they reach their rune.

Any player who fails to do this should have their bubble destroyed as soon as possible whilst being publicly shamed.

Globi ArcaniGlobi Arcani

These orbs will explode after 16 seconds, each dealing a large amount of damage to the entire raid. This will easily one shot the group.

Players can reduce the potency of this explosion by standing within the Globi Arcani. This will cause them to deplete over time.

If the Globi Arcani are soaked quickly enough, players can remove them without them exploding at all.

All ranged players should actively look for an Arcane Orb and stand within it to ensure the raid doesn't get one shot.

Stand within the Globi Arcani to reduce their power!

Colosso ZelanteColosso Zelante

This add does not need to be tanked, as it will simply run over to a randomly selected Ancient Ward.

Once it arrives it will channel Pestaterra, dealing a small amount of raid wide damage and depleting the wards energy over time.

The entire raid should focus down this add as soon as it spawns as to minimize the amount of energy it depletes from a ward.

However, once the add has been crowd controlled a single time, it will gain the Infuriato debuff which makes it immune to all further CC.

Players looking to kill the hulk should use a long duration stun just before it reaches a ward. This is because an add that is stunned before it reaches its destination may decide to choose another ward instead.

Players may want to hard CC an add that spawns late into the phase and instead kill it during the intermission, as this will allow the raid to focus their damage into the two mini-bosses and potentially skip a set of abilities.

Kill the Colosso Zelante as quickly as possible.

Intermission One: Decreto della Regina

Azshara will spawn multiple Globi Arcani across the middle of the encounter space, whilst issuing a personal decree to each individual player.

These decrees need to be followed, as disobeying them will give the player the Sanzione debuff every second which deals very high ticking damage.

On normal mode, only one decree is issued per player.

Soffri!: Soak an Arcane Orb. Do note that the Globi Arcani deplete whilst players are stood within them, so you may need to find another if your orb is soaked very quickly.

Obbedisci!: Do not soak an Arcane Orb.

Aggregati!: Stand near other players. You should look to help soak Globi Arcani with this decree, as it will help remove them before they explode at the end of the intermission.

Isolati!: Don't be near other players. If you can find an Arcane Orb that is not being soaked by anybody, then you should look to soak it as to help clear the orbs.

Globi ArcaniGlobi Arcani

Follow your decree whilst trying to soak the Globi Arcani!

Phase TwoRegina Azshara

She will immediately cause the middle inactive rune to become a Difesa del Potere. This is shown via a blue rune on the ward interface element.

This Difesa del Potere will gain energy via various means. As the ward gains more energy, the boss and adds will gain increased damage done.

Players should look to actively prevent this Difesa del Potere from gaining energy, as to keep incoming damage under control.

Much like the Ancient Wards, the Difesa del Potere can have its energy sapped by players standing within it. This will also grant stacks of Anima Prosciugata.

Generally speaking, empowering Ancient Wards is more important than draining Wards of Power, although it is preferable that both are done.

You can see the Difesa del Potere in the UI element.

Macchinazioni Titaniche

If the boss is closest to a Difesa del Potere, its energy will be increased over time.

Players need to keep the ward that boss is closest too under control, by having players take turns at standing within it.

Players still need to keep their Anima Prosciugata stacks to a reasonable level (approximately 5-6 stacks), as otherwise they will be one shot by certain abilities.

If the raid runs out of players to soak a nearby ward, Azshara should be moved to a different ward whilst the raid waits for Anima Prosciugata stacks to drop.

The raid should enter this phase with all Ancient Wards at maximum energy, as to reduce the chance of a Impeto di Pressione or Fallimento Catastrofico from occurring.

Scossa ArcanaScossa ArcanaVulnerabilità all'Arcano

Tanks should taunt off of each other whenever this stack becomes to high, usually around the 7-9 stack mark.

Maestria Arcana

This isn't something that players should look to actively counter. Instead the ability is present mainly to give healers something to do throughout the phase.

RichiamoRichiamo

The boss will still target ranged players, but instead of forcing them to walk to the middle of the room, they instead run directly under the boss.

Upon reaching the boss, the player will become mind controlled and gain a large shield. This mind control will persist until the shield has been removed.

Ranged players are able to counter this ability by standing 35-40 yards away from the boss. This will cause the Richiamo debuff to time out before they reach her and become mind controlled.

Any player who fails this and becomes mind controlled should be crowd controlled via stuns and silences and quickly focused by DPS as to remove the shield from them.

Richiamo marked players will become mind controlled during phase two!

Scarica ArcanaScarica Arcana

This 30 second long debuff doesn't do anything until it expires, at which point it deals a large burst of damage to all players within line of sight.

Players marked with this debuff should move behind a pillar or titan console that creates a barrier between the boss and the majority of the raid. They should then have this debuff dispelled by a healer assigned to this job.

Hide behind a pillar when your Scarica Arcana is about to expire.

Deflagrazione ArcanaDeflagrazione Arcana

This deals a massive burst of damage to all players within line of sight of the boss.

All players must hide behind a nearby pillar or titan console before the cast finishes, as otherwise they will likely die.

Azshara should be positioned next to one of these hiding spots, as to allow players within melee to easily access them.

AddsDifesa del Potere

Upon reaching the ward, the adds will kill themselves and grant energy to it.

There are two different types of adds that can spawn, a single Indomita di Azshara add or 3 packs of Devoto di Azshara adds.

The Indomita di Azshara add has a large health pool, move slowly and cannot be crowd controlled. These need to be focused down by all DPS to defeat them before they reach the rune.

Devoto di Azshara adds have a smaller health pool, move more quickly and can be crowd controlled in nearly every single way. These adds should be AoE'd down whilst the raid throws crowd control to keep them off the rune.

Kill Azshara's minions before they reach the Difesa del Potere!

Intermission Two: Adoration

She will not attempt to attack the raid in any way, but will still be taking full damage. Players should use this opportunity to get some free boss damage whilst dealing with the decrees and Globi Arcani.

The decrees and Globi Arcani work, and are countered in, the exact same way as the first intermission.

Phase ThreeRegina AzsharaRichiamoRovesciamento della Fortuna

Players marked with Richiamo will now gain Gelosia which is a 10% movement speed increase for every other player within 8 yards when the ability begins to force movement.

Players marked with the spell must ensure that they are at least 8 yards away from any other player as to reduce the chance they will reach the boss and become mind controlled.

Rovesciamento della Fortuna will occasionally switch the location of her Difesa del Potere with a randomly selected Ancient Ward.

Tanks need to be quick to move Azshara away from the Difesa del Potere if it happens to switch with the Ancient Ward she was standing by.

Macchinazioni TitanicheScossa ArcanaMaestria ArcanaDeflagrazione ArcanaScarica ArcanaTidemistresses

Whilst alive, the Tidemistress will remain stationary and do not need to be actively tanked.

These Tidemistresses must be killed as soon as possible as to keep the wards from completely losing energy.

Players should focus on killing the Tidemistressesas soon as possible!

Risucchio Difesa Antica: An interruptible cast which drains the Ancient Ward the Tidemistress is standing for a small amount of energy.

If the boss casts Rovesciamento della Fortuna and the Difesa del Potere is placed underneath a Tidemistress, they will cast Energizzazione Difesa del Potere instead.

Folgore Statica: A debuff applied to random players which makes them pulse damage to anyone within 8 yards of them over 6 seconds. Make sure to move away from others if you get this debuff.

Catena di Fulmini: A simple Catena di Fulmini spell which can be interrupted. The raid should look to interrupt each of these to keep raid damage to a minimum.

Scudo Cristallino: An add will gain a shield which makes them immune to damage and interrupts. The timing in which the add gains the shield, as well as which add gains the shield seems to be random.

This shield is only removed via the Lancia Caricata attack from the Mirmidone Leale.

Mirmidone LealeLancia Caricata

This targets a random non-tank player. Moments later it will throw a spear at that player, dealing damage to all players in its path.

If the spear hits any terrain, such as the pillars or titan console, it will explode, dealing extremely high raid damage. Players should position themselves so that this does not occur.

If this Lancia Caricata hits the Scudo Cristallino, it will remove it and deal a small burst of damage to anyone within line of sight via Scudo Infranto.

Players should not actively kill this add unless another one spawns, as they need to utilize its Lancia Caricata ability to get through the phase.

The add should be positioned on one side of the Tidemistress, whilst the raid is on the other. This will automatically cause the add to get hit by the Lancia Caricata whenever it is cast without having players move around.

Hit the Scudo Cristallino with the Lancia Caricata!

The raid should aim to defeat both Tidemistresses before triggering phase four, as otherwise they will need to damage them to finish them off which is damage you'd rather have on the boss.

Phase Four

She maintains access to three abilities: Macchinazioni Titaniche, Rovesciamento della Fortuna and a modified Richiamo.

Richiamo will still apply the Gelosia speed increase to players, but if any player reaches the boss and becomes mind controlled, they will remain that way until the end of the encounter.

Any player that does become mind controlled should be killed as soon as possible before they become too much of a nuisance.

All other abilities have been removed and replaced with new things the raid needs to deal with.

Toccato dal VuotoToccato dal Vuoto

Tanks will want to taunt off of one another each time their debuff drops, as ensure they can actually receive meaningful healing from their healers. This is usually around the 3-4 stack mark.

Portale Fatuo

This portal will always spawn near ranged players. These players should stack up and bait the Nether Portal spawn locations away from the Titan Console and any Ancient Wards so that these areas can still be accessed safely.

Regardless of where the Portale Fatuo spawns, players should avoid standing in it as often as possible, only ever entering it if they need to deal with other mechanics such as re-energising Ancient Wards.

Avoid standing near key locations when Nether Portal is cast...

Sguardo Penetrante

Moments later this beam will shoot out energy, dealing large damage to anyone in its path.

After the beam has despawned, a new eye will appear close to the original eye's location and do the same thing. The spell will then end.

Players will need to quickly identify the path of the beam and move from it so that they can avoid this damage.

Move out of the orange laser beam!

SovraccaricoSovraccarico

This grants the Titan Console 4 energy charges. All of these charges will be released in a single load after ~42 seconds, resulting in a Picco di Energia Massiccia.

Players can interact with the titan console to trigger a Scarica Controllata via the use of an extra action button that they gain by standing near it, dealing a moderate burst of damage to the raid whilst releasing a single energy charge.

Players need to do this in a staggered way, as to drain all of the energy before the Picco di Energia Massiccia triggers.

Alternatively, the raid can stack up and use healing cooldowns, whilst a single player with an immunity can use all four charges in a single go.

You can see the remainingOverload charges as orbs!

Collasso Nervoso: The player who released the energy charge will receive a hard hitting 30 second dot. This simply must be outhealed.

Corto Circuito: The console will drain a nearby Ancient Ward of 30% of its power. This must quickly be topped up by all players with low or no stacks of Anima Prosciugata.

Essenza di Azeroth: A random DPS will gain a 40 second buff which makes spell casts instant, increases ranged and melee haste by 50% and increases resource regeneration significantly. The target dies at the end of the debuff.
Players who are fortunate enough to gain this buff need to deal as much damage as possible during the 40 second effect.

If the phase lasts for too long, the raid will eventually wipe due to players being killed via the Essenza di Azeroth buff.

Heroic DifficultyDecreto della Regina

Players need to quickly identify which combination of decrees they have been given as to minimize the amount of Sanzione stacks they will receive.

The most potent two combinations that players will have to deal with is the Isolati! and Soffri! or the Aggregati! and Soffri!.

Players with the Aggregati! and Soffri! combination should aim to all stack within a single Arcane Orb. Once this is soaked they can then move together to the next.

Players with the Isolati! and Soffri! should find an unoccupied Arcane Orb and soak it by themselves.

Fermati!Marcia!

Players with Fermati! will have a purple zone placed around them. If they leave the zone they will gain stacks of Sanzione.

If a player has Fermati! and Soffri! they should find an Arcane Orb within their purple zone and soak it whilst minimizing movement as much as possible.

Players with Marcia! need to keep moving, as patches will spawn underneath their feet and detonate shortly afterwards, applying a stack of Sanzione.

Some players may have Marcia! and Aggregati!. These players should find each other and move around as a group to counter both decrees.

Stay within your purple zoneif you get the Stay! decree.

Rovesciamento della Fortuna SuperioreRovesciamento della FortunaRovesciamento della Fortuna Superiore

Rovesciamento della Fortuna Superiore will turn all Ancient Wards into Wards of Power and vice versa.

Tanks should quickly move Azshara to the one remaining Ancient Ward when this is cast, as to reduce the chances of the boss gaining a damage dealt increase.

Scarica ArcanaScarica ArcanaRetroazione

This will cause her to apply Scarica Arcana to additional targets when the ability is cast again.

This forces players to make sure they are hidden from their allies and the boss, as to reduce the overall amount of Scarica Arcana debuffs the raid needs to deal with.

GelosiaGelosia

Players marked with Richiamo in phase three or four will likely reach the boss if they are given even one stack of Gelosia, forcing them to move away from their allies before they are forcefully moved towards the boss.

Mythic DifficultyDivide et ImperaDivide et Impera

Any player who passes through the beam "instantly perishes".

Players with immunities are be able to pass through the beam without dying.

Players will need to carefully position themselves within the room as to ensure that everybody can continue to counter the bosses abilities without getting one shot by this beam.

The beams always appear at set times, although their angles can be different.

The beams are stationary in phases one, two and three. The beam will rotate around the room "Halion style" during phase four.

Decreto della Regina

The same configuration of decrees are applied to the raid each intermission, with only the targets being randomly chosen.

As an example: Two players will always gain "Soak, Stand Still and Stand Alone" - but the players with this can be different every time.

Currently this ability is mainly countered by a fancy weakaura, which unfortunately isn't public yet.

Tidemistresses

The raid also only has three minutes to do this, as all adds will enrage three minutes after the phase has begun.

/saracasm on sounds like a piece of cake lol /sarcasm off

Commento di pherkier

One of the best fight in game so far

Commento di Xiuhtec

One thing which is not clear from the dungeon journal in-game nor from this guide is that charged spears do NOT do the 100k+ raidwide explode damage if they fly off into the water. The journal description makes it sound like they explode when they reach the target player, but this is incorrect. They only do the raidwide explosive damage if they hit a line-of-sight blocker like the panel or a pillar. Lining up properly in phase 3 so spears break the shield but don't then hit something else got my guild over a significant hurdle at that point, where the AoE bursts were just ridiculous and unhealable otherwise.

Commento di Blacfang

What's with the 2 Statues Light up when u kiss azshara and click the statue before the boss fight begins?
What's the point of them Lighting up?

Commento di Takouhi

One of my favorite things about this fight, is that as a Resto Shaman, if you have Sharas'dal, Scepter of Tides as a transmog, she whispers to you about your insolence in taking her scepter.
