Quick Tips

During Извергающаяся тьма, move to the safe area for each explosion to avoid taking lethal damage.

Phase One

Move away from allies when targeted by the Пронзающий взгляд.

Stack up as a group behind the boss to help funnel the Силитид-воин adds before focusing them down.

Phase Two

Move away from the group to place the Ominous Cloud in low traffic areas when the Тревожный обман debuff expires.

Do not move into the Ominous Cloud, as it will spawn a deadly Страж Йогг-Сарона!

Interrupt and kill the Нерубский заклинатель Бездны adds as soon as possible.

Phase Three

Soak the Сфера порчи before it lands on the ground.

Damage the Воля Осквернителя mind controlled player to break the effect.

Use damage cooldowns and Bloodlust to burn the boss down as soon as possible.

Tank-Specific Quick Tips

Make sure to face the boss away from the raid when Хлыст Бездны is cast.

Use a large cooldown to survive the entire Мощь Бездны sequence, or taunt after the Раскалывание.

Tank the boss in the choke point between the Силитид-воин adds and the raid during phase one.

Tank the boss on top of an active Нерубский заклинатель Бездны add during phase two.

Зек'воз AbilitiesИзвергающаяся тьмаИзвергающаяся тьмаИзвергающаяся тьма

Извергающаяся тьма is a series of three consecutive explosions which deal high shadow damage to anyone caught within them and a smaller amount to everyone outside of them.

These explosions take the form of three circular areas centred around the location of the tank at the time Извергающаяся тьма was initially cast.

One of the three areas will be marked for an explosion, leaving the two remaining areas as a safe space for the raid to stand in to dodge the explosion.

The pattern of the marked areas will change after the each explosion, forcing the raid to move into the newly available safe spaces.

The explosion area will be different for each of the three consecutive explosions. The sequence of which area is safe or not is chosen randomly.

A small circle in the center.

A ring around this central circle.

The entire rest of the encounter space outside of the two previously listed zones.

Извергающаяся тьма

During this time the boss will be actively hitting the tank and casting other abilities.

The group should attempt to remain close to one another as they dodge, as this will allow the healers to more efficiently combat the incoming damage.

Do note: This ability used to be avoided by running far from the boss, this is no longer possible as the third area now covers the entire encounter space.

Мощь Бездны

The series starts with Хлыст Бездны, a frontal shockwave which deals a burst of shadow damage and reduces the healing received of any player hit by 25% for 8 seconds. This effect can stack.
The tank needs to ensure that they face the boss away from any other player as to take the hit alone. The boss will rotate and move to match the tanks movement during this time.

Раскалывание

The tank needs to have active mitigation up to lessen the blow of this high damage ability.

Хлыст БездныХлыст Бездны

Alternatively, the second tank can taunt just after the Раскалывание cast. This is preferable when encountering this boss with lesser gear, as it will help spread the damage out more evenly and reduce the chance of a one shot.

Извергающаяся тьма

The tank should attempt to face the boss towards the edges of the explosion to help the raid position easier.

Искра титанов

This damage is unavoidable and is simply there to give the healers something to heal throughout the fight.

Phase One: 100% - 65%Пронзающий взглядПронзающий взгляд

The player marked with the Пронзающий взгляд should immediately move away from their allies to prevent the damage from bouncing.

If this is not achieved, the Пронзающий взгляд can quickly start dealing lethal damage to a group of clumped up players, specifically melee groups.

This can be cast during the Извергающаяся тьма. The group should be stacked to allow a safe space for the marked player to easily move to.

Силитид-воинСилитид-воин

Upon reaching a player they will melee hit them and apply a Зазубренные жвалы physical damage dot with a 10 second duration. This can stack.

These adds always spawn at the far west side of the room. The tank should position Zek'voz between these adds and a stacked raid, as this will cause the adds to path directly through the boss.

As the adds reach the boss, the group should cleave them down as soon as possible, whilst using crowd control spells to keep them in place, notably stuns, slows, snares and displacement spells are strongest.

It is either impossible or highly unlikely for the adds to spawn just before, or during a Извергающаяся тьма!

Пронзающий взглядPhase Two: 65% - 30%Тревожный обман

This 12 second shadow damage dot will spawn an Ominous Cloud at the location of afflicted player upon expiration.

This cloud is permanent and will slowly drift around the encounter space.

Тревожный обман afflicted players should place the Ominous Cloud at the side of the room, away from high traffic areas.

This debuff will be applied to players whilst Извергающаяся тьма is occuring. Just like the Пронзающий взгляд, the group should remain stacked up to give the afflicted players suitable areas to drop off the debuff.

Страж Йогг-Сарона

Players must avoid doing this, as the Страж Йогг-Сарона is very dangerous.

The add needs to be tanked and will slowly gain energy over time. Upon death, or upon reaching full energy, the add will cast a Выброс Тьмы which kills the add whilst dealing a large burst of shadow damage to the raid.

If an add is accidentally spawned, the group should nuke it down whilst healers use damage reduction cooldowns and heal the raid in preparation of the high Выброс Тьмы burst.

Нерубский заклинатель Бездны

These adds will spam cast Стрела Бездны, an interruptible cast which deals a burst of shadow damage to a random player.

The raid should assign three players per add to ensure that all casts are interrupted. Stuns, silences, displacements and hard crowd control can be used to interrupt the cast.

Groups that have access to long range displacements such as Death Grip can group the adds up to help the raid kill them more efficiently.

All DPS should prioritise killing these Нерубский заклинатель Бездны adds over dealing damage to the boss, whilst the tanks position Zek'voz nearby to allow for cleave DPS.

Groups with few interrupts may wish to hard crowd control the adds before killing them off one by one.

Извергающаяся тьма

Groups with sufficient ranged interrupts and crowd control may want to kill the adds during the Извергающаяся тьма.

Тревожный обманНерубский заклинатель Бездны

Do note: Any Нерубский заклинатель Бездны adds, Тревожный обман debuffs and Ominous Clouds active upon transition will remain active going into the last phase.

These remaining adds and debuffs should be dealt with as soon as possible so the group can purely focus on phase three mechanics in isolation.

Phase Three: 30% - 0%Искра титановПерегрузка

The raid should remain stacked as much as possible throughout the phase to help healers combat the incoming damage.

Сфера порчиСфера порчи

Upon hitting the ground the orb will deal ever increasing bursts of damage to the raid every 5 seconds.

A player must stand in the marked location to intercept the orb. Doing so will cause it to move forward in the direction the player is facing whilst raising up the the air.

The orb will then begin to slowly descend once again, repeating the cycle.

The orb catching player should ensure that they face towards the group when soaking, to ensure the orb doesn't travel too far away from the stacked raid group.

The orb must be caught each time it lands, as the ticking damage to the raid in combination with the additional damage from the Искра титанов can quickly overwhelm the healers.

This orb will be active during the Извергающаяся тьма. If it is due to land in a zone that is exploding, a player with a large damage reduction cooldown should go and catch it to prevent additional raid damage.

Сделка с Осквернителем

DPS players should be first in line to get this debuff, as the increased damage done will help end the encounter sooner.

Upon expiration the player will be afflicted with Воля Осквернителя. This will mind control the player until they have been damaged down to 50%.

The mind controlled player should be nuked down by the DPS as soon as possible. The player is susceptible to all forms of crowd control during this time.

Воля Осквернителя afflicted players will spam cast Psionic Blast, dealing a burst of damage and fearing a random target for 6 seconds.

The Psionic Blast needs to be interrupted as the raids number one priority.

Сфера порчи

The group must keep an eye out for these orbs and attempt to soak them as much as possible.

Raid Finder DifficultyПронзающий взгляд

This makes the ability far less punishing, as the entire raid could be hit by this ability on Raid Finder difficulty and nobody would die.

Heroic DifficultyХлыст Бездны

If a tank was to take the entire attack sequence, they would be left with an 8 second debuff which reduces all incoming healing by 100%.

If large cooldowns are used for the entire sequence, the tank should be left with enough health to safely survive for 8 seconds without incoming healing.

That being said, this extra reduced healing does make the taunt after the Раскалывание far more appealing, as both tanks will be able to receive healing rather than just one.

Извергающаяся тьма

Two of the three areas will now be marked for an explosion, leaving the one remaining area as a safe space for the raid to stand in to dodge the explosion.

The pattern of the marked areas will change after the each explosion, forcing the raid to move into the newly available safe space.

The safe area will be different for each of the three consecutive explosions. The sequence of which area is safe or not is chosen randomly.

Силитид-воинЗазубренные жвалы

As the strategy kills the warriors before they reach their target, this additional slow is insignificant.

However, if the adds do need to be kited for whatever reason, this will make it far more punishing if they ever reach their target.

Нерубский заклинатель Бездны

This passive roots the add makes them immune to "forced movement effects", notably effecting displacement effects such as Death Grip.

This prevents the raid from stacking the adds, instead the group will need to focus them down one by one, or use long range cleave or multi-dot spells.

Сделка с ОсквернителемВоля ОсквернителяВой БездныСделка с Осквернителем

This Вой Бездны will damage and fear anyone within 8 yards for 6 seconds.

Just before a player is due to be mind controlled, they must move at least 8 yards away from their allies to ensure they do not fear the otherwise stacked raid group.

The target is still susceptible to all CC, including Death Grips. These spells should be used to attempt to bring the mind controlled player next to the boss to be cleaved down.

Воля Осквернителя

This limits the time you have in phase three significantly, as eventually you will run out of players as the raid slowly withers to the mind control... and eventually death!
