AbilitiesTormentTorment

The Torment is shown through the alternative power bar that, by default, appears at the bottom of the screen. If you allow the bar to completely fill to 100 Torment, you will gain a debuff called Unbearable Torment.

Unbearable Torment will make you deal 20% less damage, reduce your hit chance by 90%, reduce the healing you do by 25%, and increase all the damage you take by 90%.


Torment Bar	Once full you will be debuffed with Unbearable Torment

TormentConfessTormented SoulTormented Eruption


All players receive an Extra Action Button.Use this to enter the Soul Cage to remove your Torment.	The Extra Action Button can be used again to exit the Soul Cage only once your Torment has been completely removed.

Running over an orb will absorb it and remove 35 Torment from the player.

Once you reach 0 Torment, you can reuse the extra action button to return to the main encounter area.

Players cannot remain inside the Confession cage for too long, as you’ll be taking ever increasing ticking damage from the Soul Corruption debuff which is being periodically applied to all players within the cage.


Avoid the Tormented Eruption circles!	Soak the Remnant of Hope orbs to remove your Torment.

TormentTormentConfess

The teams would need to consist of at least one tank & one healer

Once the team is downstairs, they need to damage the add to generate a large amount of orbs.

Once every member of the team has zero Torment, they can all use their extra action button in unison to return to the encounter area again.

The raid leader will want to determine how often you enter the cage, as it will vary from group to group depending on how well the raid is able to counter the bosses abilities.

All raid members should be prepared to have to enter the cage at least once, tanks will have to go inside considerably more often.

Bosses


The bosses should be stacked for the majority ofthe encounter to maximize damage output.	The bosses must be separated before Atrigancasts his Bone Saw or Belac casts Fel Squall.

AtriganTormentBone ScytheTormentScythe SweepTormentBone Saw

After a short cast, Atrigan will deal damage and apply Torment to nearby players every second.

If any player attacks Atrigan during Bone Saw, they will gain a substantial amount of Torment. This includes applications of debuffs as well as cleave abilities, however pre-existing dots will not generate Torment for that player.

All DPS should swap to Belac during Bone Saw, whilst the tank needs to move Atrigan away from Belac before Bone Saw begins to ensure that passive cleave doesn’t occur.

Bone Saw

Atrigan should be dragged away from Belac around the sides of the room, to make sure that raid positioning isn’t too disrupted.

Once the Bone Saw is over, Atrigan should once again be placed next to Belac to allow extra DPS through cleave abilities.

BelacPangs of Guilt

This is an interruptible cast which will deal a large burst of damage to players.

To ensure that each Pangs of Guilt is interrupted, you will need to assign 3 players to interrupt on a rotation.

Do Note: You’ll need to assign backup interrupts for when the assigned players Confess to drop their Torment, as they will be out of range of Belac.

TormentTormenting BurstTormentEchoing AnguishEchoing Anguish

This is a 12 second dot which applies 4 Torment every second.

Once the debuff expires or is dispelled, the afflicted player will trigger Anguished Outburst, which will deal a burst of damage and apply 10 Torment to any players within 8 yards.

Players afflicted with the Echoing Anguish need to move 8 yards away from the group and be dispelled.

Healers shouldn’t be too trigger happy with dispels for this debuff, as you may dispel a player who is stacked and cause a large amount of excess Torment and damage to go out onto the raid.

Fel SquallBone Saw

After a short cast, Belac will deal ticking damage and apply Torment to any nearby players whilst also applying a large amount of Torment to any player who attacks him during this time.

Atrigan should be pre-moved away from Belac to allow all dps to swap over to him, without running the risk of accidently cleaving onto Belac.

Do Note: During the Fel Squall, Belac will not cast any abilities, and therefore doesn’t need to be interrupted for his Pangs of Guilt.

Strategy Summary

Keep both Atrigan and Belac stacked up to allow DPS to cleave, only spreading them apart for either the Bone Saw or Fel Squall.

Face Atrigan away from the raid to ensure that only the tank is hit by the Scythe Sweep.

Do not attack Atrigan during Bone Saw or Belac during Fel Squall

Set up an interrupt rotation of three short cooldown interrupts for Belacs Pangs of Guilt.

Move away from players when afflicted with Echoing Anguish and then be dispelled.

Have high Torment groups consisting of one tank, one healer and a few dps Confess simultaneously so that they can gather Remnant of Hope orbs to drop their Torment.

Dodge the green Tormented Eruption bolts whilst fighting the Tormented Soul inside the Confession cage.

Ensure that all players leave the Confession cage together to avoid anyone being left behind.

Looking For Raid DifficultyHeroic DifficultyCalcified QuillsCalcified Quills

The player targeted by this ability should position themselves so that the Calcified Quills hits as few players as possible.

Everyone must keep an eye on their boss timers and be aware of what direction Artigan is facing when this is cast, so they can avoid the knockup.

Suffocating DarkTorment

Suffocating Dark does not have a cast time and the zones are immediately placed onto players. Therefore ranged players must be prespread for this ability, preferably around the edges of the room to keep the encounter area clear.

However, you must not stand at the entrance of the room, as players leaving the Confession cage will always re-enter the main encounter room by the door and you do not want them to land straight into a Suffocating Dark zone.

Avoid the Suffocating Dark circles. Keep away from the entrance of the encounter area.

Mythic DifficultyConfessTormented Fragment

These adds will fixate a player and will hit them moderately hard with melee attacks.

When the Tormented Fragment reaches 0 hp it will cast Explosive Anguish, which will deal a large burst of damage to anyone within 8 yards after a few seconds.

Tormented FragmentTormented FragmentHarrowing Reconstitution

To achieve this the raid will want to be organise their “torment-dropping” groups extremely well, limiting their size to around 4-6 players.

The groups want to ensure that they all leave the cage simultaneously so that all of the adds will spawn close to one another.

The groups also want to avoid leaving the cage during Belacs Fel Squall, as you will not be able to aoe down the adds without cleaving onto Belac.

Tormented Fragment

This makes AoE slows a vital tool to be utilised in keeping the adds close to one another for the best cleave possible.

The fixated players should also try and have the adds run in the same direction, by kiting them in a predetermined direction.

The Inquistion! What a show!
The Inquistion! Here we go!
We know you're wishing, that we'd go away,
But the Inquistion's here and it's here to stay!

Nobody expects the demonic inquisition!

There's no mention of this ability in the dungeon guide or any other guide I can find online, but the ability Unbridled Torment seems to start casting around 8-8.5 minutes in to the encounter (perhaps it is triggered by other means, it just happened around here for the pug i was in) on Atrigan. Seems to be some form of enrage.

Comment by skulldarkwow

FYI to tanks. Atrigan's Scythe Sweep can be parried. Done this encounter on both normal and heroic so far with a Veng DH and it missed me approx. 25% each attempt.

Getting "knocked up" by Belac. The cad! How dare he get us pregnant, to say nothing of the "mental" torment he puts us through. Can't wait to deliver my little Demon Hunters, though.

Got a bug on heroic mode.

Belac died but Atrigan did not, even though they share the health pool.
He kept a small amount of HP (~15M) and did not take anymore damage from us.
We had to wipe and call it a day.

Further more, when I defeated them again the next day, I got no loot.
Looks like the buggy defeat was enough to get me saved... Oh, joy!

Comment by Farmbuyer

as players leaving the Confession cage will always re-enter the main encounter room by the door

This is not true. Sometimes players land there, but just as often players land elsewhere on the ring around the outside of the room, including on top of Bone Saw.

It seems to be entirely random which players land where on which exit.

Comment by Razorgrace

It seems Fel Squall and Bone Saw do not add any torment to your bar if you do not attack active boss directly, i.e. as a shaman I can Chain Lightning without any troubles (tested on LFR).
