Whenever one of these elementals reaches 20% health, he begins to cast Reconstituição.

If players do not kill the caster before the 20-second cast completes, the caster will heal 10% of its health every second for 10 seconds, essentially restoring it to full health.

Players must be careful not to allow more than one of these enemies to begin the Reconstituição cast at the same time, and must target their DPS on any enemy casting Reconstituição.

The Tora Meteórica ability draws a light brown circle on the ground, marked with a yellow arrow, and players must stand inside this circle in order to share the damage dealt by the effect.

If no players stand in the brown circle, the entire raid will take extremely heavy damage. Estocada Terrana draws an orange circle on the ground, and players must move out of this to avoid taking extremely heavy damage.

Stand in brown, move out of orange.

Oro should be tanked right on top of one of either Lokk or Rokka, and players should kill Oro first.

Melee should stay with Oro and cleave both enemies; ranged DPS should stand with the lone elemental and his tank, but focus primarily on Oro.

All players will need to assist in soaking Tora Meteórica that spawn near them.

Return to Table of ContentsTectus Tips & StrategyA Montanha VivaTremor Tectônico

If Tectus completes a Tremor Tectônico, he will regain 20% of his life and gain energy at a faster rate, bringing the next Tremor Tectônico more rapidly than the first.

Currently, Tectus is much easier to kill than his Shards or Motes are, so players may wish to save Sede de Sangue/Heroísmo/Distorção Temporal for the middle of the encounter when there are 4 Motes and 1 Shard active.

Pilar Telúrico

Players must place these Pillars properly around the edge of the encounter area; they are targeted on a random ranged DPS or healer, so it is important that these players do not move in to the center of the encounter area and spawn Pillars where they will cause line of sight difficulties for the remainder of the fight.

Once the Pillar indicator has appeared, players must move quickly out of its area of effect to avoid death.

Throughout the fight, he will also summon smaller versions with Fraturar; these do not persist, but will deal heavy damage and knock back any players within their area of effect. Again, players must move quickly out of Fraturar.

Salva Cristalina

The targeted player(s) will display an arrow above their heads before the Salva Cristalina begins to fire, and they should move out of the group to avoid damaging other players with the Barrage's effect.

One popular strategy for handling the dual demands of Pilar Telúrico and Salva Cristalina is for the raid to move clockwise to avoid Pillars, and for players targeted by Barrage to move counter-clockwise to ensure that the Pillar-avoiding path always remains clear.

Fragmento de Tectus

The Shard of Tectus has all the same abilities as Tectus does, including the Astilha da Montanha buff.

Tanks should each taunt a Shard to spread out the tank damage, while players focus on killing one of the two Shards.

When a Shard is slain, it Shatters, forming four even smaller clones called Partícula de Tectus.

These Motes retain nearly all of the abilities that the Shards had, but can be killed at any time.

The tank damage from tanking all four Motes can be extreme, so some groups may find it easier to split the Motes between the two tanks, rather than having one tank hold all four Motes.

The ideal kill order is Tectus > Shard 1 > Motes 1-4 > Shard 2 > Motes 5-8.Berserker Distorcido pela NoiteRasgaterra Distorcido pela Noite

The off-tank should hold these adds within range of the melee DPS so they can be cleaved down effortlessly.

Earthwarpers have a dangerous cone attack, Dardo Telúrico, that requires them to be faced away from the melee; they also have a dangerous cast, Dádiva da Terra, that cannot be conventionally interrupted.

Players can choose to either stun the Earthwarper to prevent the cast, allow it to go through and buff Tectus with 10 stacks of Acrescência (causing high damage on the Tectus tank), or the add tank can intercept it and gain stacks of Petrificação. Intercepting Dádiva da Terra deals very heavy damage and the tank who does so cannot tank Tectus while affected by Petrificação.

The ideal method of managing Dádiva da Terra is to have a stun rotation and kill the Earthwarpers quickly.

Return to Table of ContentsTank Responsibilities

Face the Night-Twisted Berserkers and Earthshapers away from the raid, but position them within range of melee cleave abilities

When Tectus Shatters into two Shards of Tectus, each tank should taunt one Shard

When a Shard of Tectus shatters into Motes of Tectus, one tank can hold all 4 Motes, but if damage is too high on the Motes tank, have the Shard tank taunt one Mote away from the group

Return to Table of ContentsDamage-Dealer Responsibilities

When Tectus, or one of his Shards, is at low health during Tremor Tectônico, focus DPS on this target to kill it

Ranged DPS should prioritise damage on the current kill target, but multi-DoT other Shards and Motes to help keep Acrescência under control

Melee should cleave and stun the Night-Twisted adds and stun the Earthshapers as much as possible to prevent the uninterruptible Dádiva da Terra

Ranged DPS should stay stacked up with healers on the edges of the encounter area, and move as a group to avoid Pilar Telúrico

Move out of Fraturar to avoid taking heavy damage

Players targeted by Salva Cristalina should move away from the rest of the group to avoid damaging the entire raid

Use personal damage-reduction cooldowns for Tremor Tectônico or when targeted by/standing in more than one Salva Cristalina

Return to Table of ContentsHealer Responsibilities

Tank damage will be quite high, especially when tanking multiple Motes of Tectus

Raid damage will be high during Tremor Tectônico, and damage-reduction and healing cooldowns should be used during this time

Healers (except for Mistweaver Monks) should stay stacked up with the ranged DPS on the edges of the encounter area, and move as a group to avoid Pilar Telúrico

Move out of Fraturar to avoid taking heavy damage

Players targeted by Salva Cristalina should move away from the rest of the group to avoid damaging the entire raid

Use personal damage-reduction cooldowns for Tremor Tectônico or when targeted by/standing in more than one Salva Cristalina

The respawned versions have all of the abilities of the original version, but are not affected by A Montanha Viva, and therefore can be killed outside of Tremor Tectônico.

They will, however, spread Acrescência to other nearby enemies, so players should focus on killing these respawned versions immediately.

Tanks will need to continue to be mindful of the Earthwarper's facing (to prevent players being struck by Dardo Telúrico) and to continue to manage Dádiva da Terra/Petrificação.

Stunning the Earthwarpers to prevent Dádiva da Terra casts will be incredibly important since the damage from soaking Dádiva da Terra is very high and allowing Tectus or his Shards/Motes to gain additional Acrescência could result in tank fatalities.

"The Shard of Tectus has all the same abilities as Tectus does, including the Shard of the Mountain buff, and additionally, whenever they are close together they will buff each other with Accretion.
Tanks should split up and hold the Shards far apart while players choose one Shard to kill."

But that's a Mythic only mechanic, if the Dungeon Journal is correct. On Normal/Heroic they might as well be tanked on top of another - right?

Comentário de Krytikal

Looks like a really fun and intense fight, can't wait to try it out. Great guide too!

Comentário de Frazyo

Thought trash was the boss, got disappointed when I didn't see loot xD

Very fun fight that requires good raid co-ordination.

Comentário de justinbail3y

I've been discussing with some guildies whether or not it's a good idea for the person marked with Salva Cristalina to run back towards the wall and THEN counterclockwise. I've found in some of our more successful attempts that (as a healer) you may find yourself in a situation during later phases in which multiple people are affected with the debuff, and simply running counterclockwise may not be as easy of an option with the multitude of Pilar Telúrico's strewn about.

I haven't had a chance to fully vet this idea out with our group, but I believe that it will allow for less overall healing during the shard phases.

Also...Salva Cristalina DOES affect the melee, so having a multitude of healing classes chaining AoE healing abilities definitely helps.

Lastly, I run a holy paladin, but I did not see any reduction from Tremor Tectônico in my logs when I would cast Devotion, considering it's Nature damage

Comentário de Wolfkiba

Found this guide very helpful. When we came to doing this on heroic we found it easier to stack the 2 shards together so melee could cleave them both and keep the stacks down. This also helped melee to be clear of the crystalline barrage trail. When one shard died we kept them stacked and focused the other shard, just cleaving the motes. In a 30 man raid we had 2 holy priests and a druid plus me on monk and a paladin to heal it so we could for the most part rotate personals and raid cds on each tectonic upheaval. Very fun fight :))

Comentário de Broughden

"The optimal strategy is for tanks to separate Lokk and Rokka so that players near each enemy will have only one set of these ground effects to deal with."

Is this still true? Because while running it on normal tonight the raid I was with refused to try because they said it no longer worked? The circles still overlap. Are they right or is Wowhead right?

Comentário de madar222

We killed this boss in heroic with 7 melee dps from the 20 ppl, so 9 melee (with tanks). We marked one side of the room where the ranged don't go in the first 2 phases, so melee can stay on that side since no barrage happen there.
When the first shard shatter, one tank hold one shard and one mote and the raid nuke down that mote, while the other tank pull away the other 3 motes. The simple just AE down everything didn't work for us, because the many melee dps and tons of crystal barrage around the stacked mobs. After the first mote is down from the first shatter it's become easyer, we kill the remaining motes one by one and shatter the other shard too.

Comentário de Elmuerte

Question. You have the ranged group moving clockwise *and* the barrage victim moving clockwise. This is contrary to how most people do regular/Heroic. Is that a typo or a key difference? If the latter, probably worth calling out.

Second question. It is my understanding that the barrage comes from Tec/Shard/Mote's rear end. If you tank the boss facing the ranged group, and both the victim and the group are moving clockwise then the clouds will spiral out from his behind to his right side and will be in the way of the tank/melee later on. It seems a better strat would be to either move the victim ccw while facing the boss at the ranged group so the clouds exit the boss and spiral to his left, leaving his right side clear for melee/tanks (who are also moving clockwise). Alternately facing the boss *away from the ranged group would have the cloud move almost radially and keep things tidy for the melee/tanks.

Thanks for the guide!
