Ciudadela del Fuego InfernalhereCiudadela del Fuego Infernal Hellfire AssaultDetailed guideKey Mechanics

If your raid performs their target swapping correctly, there is very little raid damage during this fight.

Save your single target cooldowns for tanks who are tanking Hulking Beserkers

Spread out 8 yards if affected by Howling Axe.

Interrupt Repair, cast by Ingeniero contratado if you have an interrupt.

Save emergency raid cooldowns if the Gorebound Felcasters get out of control.

Make sure both sides of the room have healer coverage in case people need to chase a tank or add.

Atracador de hierro Detailed guideKey MechanicsFase base

Remain spread eight yards to avoid damaging allies with Orbe inestable.

Move away from the front of the boss, if you or someone near you is targeted by Tromba.

Inmolación fire will move during Aporreo.

Move out of the boss's path when she casts Ataque relámpago.

Use raid cooldowns for Pounding.

Spot heal people with high stacks of Immloation.

Fase Aire

Move away from the targeting circles before the boss finishes casting Bomba de Fuego.

Move out of Chorro de combustible before the boss ignites it with Fuego repentino.

Run away from the raid when targeted by Artillería. Use a defensive cooldown before the ability hits.

Stay out of the targeting circle when the boss lands (Golpe en caída), or you will die.

You may wish to assist DPSing the fire bombs if no one has high stacks of Immolation that would require healing.

Kormrok Detailed guideUniversal Mechanics

Spread out four yards during Aporrear or when Manos codiciosas spawn.

Stack up (remaining four yards apart) and AoE when the boss casts Manos codiciosas.

Heavy use of damage reduction cooldowns, such as Power Word: Barrier and Spirit Link Totem, is recommended for the Grasping Hands spawn.

Avoid the purple waves when the boss casts Flujo vil. This is easiest with your back to a wall, such as the one to the right of the entrance.

Heal people who are assigned to run over Explosive Runes.

Move 40 yards from the tank when s/he is affected by Ráfaga explosiva.

After the boss has jumped to the Charco sombrío

Avoid waves from all three pools when the boss casts Flujo vil potenciado.

After the boss has jumped to the Charco hediondo

Ensure that you are closest to a pre-arranged pool when the boss uses Manos arrastradoras. Do not spread out too much, as this can split your raid between pools.

Sanguino Detailed guideKey MechanicsIn the Arena

DPS priority: Espíritu de Vinculacrúor > Esencia de Vinculacrúor > Ensamblaje Vinculacrúor > Sanguino.

Stand five yards from other players to avoid damaging them with Sombras emergentes.

Move to the sides of the arena when afflicted with Toque de fatalidad.

If targeted by Destino compartido, move quickly towards the rooted player. Affected players will be linked with a blue and purple beam.

Do not stand in the purple circles caused by Oscuridad aplastante.

Save major raid healing cooldowns for Festín de almas, which is cast roughly every 1.5 minutes. Distorsión temporal/Heroísmo/Ansia de sangre is usually cast on the second Festín de almas, making sure to chain them for the entire duration.

In the Stomach

You will be transported into Sanguino's stomach by dying in the arena, or when affected by Sombra de muerte.

Heal up the friendly Draenei spirit NPCs in the stomach.

Leave the stomach by running into the centre column before 40 seconds have passed; otherwise you will instantly die.

Environmental Hazards:

Avoid purple pools.

Hellfire High Council Detailed guideKey Mechanics

Bosses will be tanked apart, with Dia Siseonegro separate from Gurtogg Sangre Hirviente and Maestro del acero Jubei'Thos.

Make sure you have a healer assigned to the Dia Darkwhisper tank, since they may be far away from the raid.

If affected by Marca del nigromante, get away from the raid before Dia casts Cosechar.

Avoid the ghosts summoned by Horror gemebundo. This is easier to do from the edges.

At 30%, stack up to make dispelling Marca del nigromante easier, as Cosechar is no longer cast.

Gurtogg Sangre Hirviente

If you get Ira vil, use a personal cooldown to survive towards the end, as Gurtogg gains a stacking buff (Fury) while attacking the target.

It is possible to dispel Fury with Calmar.

Move away from the large brown circle when Gurtogg uses Salto demoledor.

At 30%, use raid cooldowns to heal up the high stacks of Sangre mácula.

Maestro del acero Jubei'Thos

Dodge the Fel Blade attack. This is marked by an arrow in the direction that it will be thrown.

At 30%, stack up to make healing Golpe malvado easier.

If necessary, use a raid cooldown here, since the fight now has gotten easier with 2 of the 3 bosses dead.

Kilrogg Ojo Muerto Detailed guideKey Mechanics

Run to the back of the room when targeted by Buscacorazones.

If you have an interrupt, you can interrupt Rending Howl.

Use raid cooldowns that are usable while moving when Kilrogg casts Agonía mortal.

Three people can stand in runes in front of Kilrogg when he casts Visions of Death. If you are one of these, heal those that are killing as many demons as possible before you or Khadgar are killed.

Señor de las Sombras Iskar Detailed guideKey MechanicsFase base

Use movement abilities if affected by Vientos fantasmales (before receiving the Ojo de Anzu).

The follow macro can greatly ease throwing around the Ojo de Anzu. It will throw the Eye to your friendly mouseover target:
/target
/click ExtraActionButton1
/targetlasttarget

Move out of the raid when affected by Chakram vil, and stay away from other players affected by it.

Move out of the raid when targeted by Incineración vil.

You shouldn't need major raid cooldowns during this phase.

Fase Aire 1 (70%)

Stack up to spread the damage from Explosión enfocada.

Save raid cooldowns for this phase, to recover from the Fel Blast.

A healer will have to dispel while holding the Eye of Anzu during Phantasmal Bombs. Dispel with the Eye if assigned to do so.

Fase Aire 2 (45%)

Stack up to spread the damage from Explosión enfocada.

Save raid cooldowns for this phase, to recover from the Fel Blast.

A healer will have to dispel while holding the Eye of Anzu during Phantasmal Bombs. Dispel with the Eye if assigned to do so.

Fase Aire 3 (20% boss health)

Stack up to spread the damage from Explosión enfocada.

Save raid cooldowns for this phase, to recover from the Fel Blast.

A healer will have to dispel while holding the Eye of Anzu during Phantasmal Bombs. Dispel with the Eye if assigned to do so.

Socrethar the Eternal Detailed guideKey MechanicsEnsamblaje ligado al alma

Move out of the raid if targeted by Ataque de llamarada vil or Orbe vil volátil.

Move away from the swirling green circle when the boss uses Prisión vil. Attack and kill the Prisión vil cristalina if anyone is hit by this ability.

Use pre-emptive damage reduction cooldowns on those people soaking Reverberating Blow.

Alma de Socrethar

Move out of the raid immediately when affected by Regalo de los Man'ari.

Spam your single target heals on the person affected by Gift - they will need significant healing. Discipline priests are especially good here, with Clarity of Will.

Use your utility spells, such as Earthbind Totem, to help slow any ghosts headed to the raid.

Interrupt Socrethar's Exert Dominance, if you are not needed to interrupt Clamasombras Sargereis.

Raid cooldowns can be used during Apocalypse.

Velhari la Tirana Detailed guideKey MechanicsUniversal Mechanics

Stack with other players when Edicto de condenación is cast. This can be soaked by classes with immunities, such as Bloque de hielo.

Phase 1

Minimise movement to counter the effects of Aura de opresión.

Move out of Llamarada abrasadora circles before they explode. These are spawned by being hit with Golpe aniquilador, and while the boss is channelling Tempestad infernal.

It is possible to spawn two Llamarada abrasadoras on top of each other; move away as soon as the second spawns.

Save all your cooldowns and use minimal mana during this phase since the next phase is much worse.

Phase 2 (70%)

All players with Fuente de corrupción should group up in a designated area. Discuss this with your raid leader.

Use a personal cooldown to survive Edicto de condenación, towards the end of the phase.

You should organize a raid cooldown rotation for Edicts in this phase, as they hit very very hard and people cannot be healed up beyond a certain percentage due to Tyrant's aura.

Phase 3 (40%)

Stack up underneath the boss to minimize pool spawns.

The raid will move a short distance every time Velhaari casts Baluarte del Tirano. Mazo de la Tirana will also force movement.

Use raid cooldowns towards the end of the phase, when Aura de malicia has reached high stacks - preferably as they come up after phase 2, and preferring mobile cooldowns such as Revival.

Señor vil Zakuun Detailed guideKey MechanicsArmed

Move away from the raid when affected by Contaminado.

Heal those soaking Rumbling Fissures to seal them

When affected by Energía latente (from sealing a rift), avoid all Wakes of Destruction. You cannot seal any other Rifts with this debuff.

Don't be afraid to protect pillars from waves if you don't have a debuff.

Heal up people with the Defouled debuff, focusing Melee players first. Only heal them to full if they are away from other players.

Disarmed

Move to the back or sides of the room when affected by Seeds of Destruction, to avoid hitting players with Energía latente or Cristales viles.

If you are affected by Energía latente and Seeds of Destruction, simply make sure that you dodge other players' waves when the Seeds explode.

Tanks take more significant damage during this phase, so use single target cooldowns here.

Heal up people with the Defouled debuff, focusing Melee players first. Only heal them to full if they are away from other players.

Phase 3

Move away when affected by Contaminado or Seeds of Destruction.

Stand in Rumbling Fissures to seal them, and be aware of your Energía latente debuff.

Heal up people with the Defouled debuff, focusing Melee players first. Only heal them to full if they are away from other players.

Use raid cooldowns here during Seeds of Destruction.

Xhul'horac Detailed guideUniversal Mechanics

The boss will be moved every time he changes phase, so as not to cross fire (Fel) and shadow (Void) damage zones – doing so causes Aniquilación de Sombra vil. This will also occur if you take Fel or Void damage and then take the opposite type, due to Tocado por vileza and Tocado por el vacío.

You may occasionally need to cause an explosion between the Fel and Void zones, to clear space, but this is usually left to the melee DPS. Assign a healer to keep an eye on these people

Phase 1

Move to the edge of the arena before Oleada vil expires.

Run away from other raid members with Chains of Fel to break it.

Help people get out with fire or chains by using your run speed utility spells, if you have them.

Move to the edge of the arena before Oleada del vacío expires.

Do not stand in the purple circles, caused by the Voidfiends. Doing so will create a Void pool.

Run into the centre of Agujero negro, with other players, to close it.

You may need to spot heal those soakers of the Black Holes, or those attacked by Voidfiends.

Phase 3 (35%)

Move to the edge of the arena before Oleada del vacío or Oleada vil expires. Ensure that the pools are placed near those of the same damage type.

Phase 4 (20%)Oleada vilOleada del vacíoEnvironmental Hazards:

Avoid green and purple patches on the ground.

Avoid green orbs unless you're assigned to intercept them.

Avoid purple swirls.

Mannoroth Detailed guideKey MechanicsMannorothPhase 1

Run into melee with Maldición de la Legión.

Get away from the raid and run into the green pool in the centre with Marca de Fatalidad – do not let the purple ring around you touch any other player when you take damage from the pool.

Stay spread three yards apart to avoid Diablimplosión vil and Deflagración vil.

Do not stand in the swirling green circles, or near to Infernal nefastos.

Raid damage is quite minimal here.

Interrupt the imps if you can.

Phase 2 (Invocador Hierro vils dead)

Group up behind Mannoroth, who should be tanked in front of the left-most pillar. This helps to negate Mannoroth's Mirada.

When Mannoroth's Gaze is cast, run with the affected players (who will run into the pillar) to soak the damage and heal up any damage taken after.

Stay out of the dark patches when Tormentinferno vil is cast.

Run away when Buscador vil is cast. Three circles will appear in succession, growing in size. Stay out of each one. Return to the pillar once the cast is finished.

Phase 3 (65%)

Continue to deal with all of Mannoroth's abilities as you did in Phase 2.

If affected by Fuerza de las Sombras, you will run into the pillar behind you. If you are not near the pillar, run towards Mannoroth until the cast is finished.

Continue to heal up after Gaze.

Phase 4 (35%)

Move towards the centre of the platform, as the pillars have now all been destroyed.

Continually dodge the meteors from Tormentinferno vil potenciado.

Do not stand in front of the boss when he casts Explosión masiva potenciada.

The minimum amount of players should run with those affected by Mirada potenciada de Mannoroth, to minimise the size of Sombras observadoras. Use damage reduction if you are soaking and heal up this group after Gaze

Get to melee range before Fuerza de las Sombras potenciada is cast. Use movement abilities to counter its effects.

Run as far as possible from the circles placed by Buscador vil potenciado.

Environmental Hazardss

Infernals and their pulsing AoE.

Buscador vil concentric, consecutive green telegraphs that you should be out of before they land.

Avoid the dark black circles that telegraph Tormentinferno vil.

Archimonde Detailed guideKey MechanicsPhase 1

Run out of the raid if targeted with Fuego apocalíptico. A location to run to should be pre-assigned.

The entire raid will move when Atracción de llamas is cast. Use a speed increase towards the end of the phase.

Spread out when Ráfaga de sombra vil is cast, then group up in the purple areas before players land.

At 85%, Archimonde will begin to cast Profanar. Move from the green circles and run into an orb of light when they appear.

Phase 2 (70%)

Continue to deal with Atracción de llamas as you did in Phase 1.

If you have Caos forjado or Caos concentrado, move out of the raid. Do not stand between the players with these debuffs.

Run 30 yards from your initial location when affected by Tormento encadenado. If all three players do so at the same time, it is lethal, so stagger the breaking.

Interrupt Overfiends' Heart of Argus if you can

Move out of the purple circle when Acechador nefastos cast Consumir magia.

Phase 3 (40%)

Continue to deal with Tormento encadenado and Caos forjado/Caos concentrado as you did in Phase 2.

Spread out six yards when Rebote demoníaco is cast.

Some players will need to enter the Vacío Abisal. To do so, run into the green circle around a tank affected with Destierro abisal.

Vacío Abisal: Move from the swirling brown circles (Tormenta abisal).

Archimonde will cast Lluvia de caos. Do not stand in the large, swirling green circles.

Ensure that you have a defensive cooldown if breaking Tormento encadenado during Lluvia de caos. Heal these people up

If Infernal Doombringers spawn while a tank is in the Vacío Abisal, Cazadors can use Distracting Shot to keep one occupied until a tank is free, and use single target cooldowns here

Environmental Hazards:

Fuego apocalíptico.
