古爾丹 Abilities古爾丹古爾丹古爾丹古爾丹

Phase One consists of avoiding 古爾丹s spells whilst fighting three demon mini-bosses, 惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪, 審判官維希茲 and 『陷捕者』德卓里克斯. Once all three mini-bosses are defeated phase 2 will begin.

Phase Two consists of fighting 古爾丹 directly. Players will need to deal with his high impact abilities that get empowered over the course of the phase.

Phase Three begins once 古爾丹 reaches 40% health, at this point he will lose most of his Phase 2 abilities.

Essence of Aman'Thul

Tanks gain 共鳴屏障. Once used, it will cause that player to absorb all damage taken for 6 seconds.

Healers gain 散射力場: Once used, it will cause that player to create a protective shield around them, absorbing 50% of fire damage taken up to a cap, shared among allies within 10 yards.

DPS gain 時間擴張: Once used, it will increase that players casting, movement, and attack speed by 30% as well as decreasing cooldowns by 30% and causing their Periodic Effects to occur 30% faster.

時間擴張古爾丹Phase 1: The Council of Elders古爾丹古爾丹古爾丹液態地獄火

You can either have the ranged players spread out and then move away from the marked location before the ability lands, or you can have all of the ranged players stack up in one location and have the healers use
their 散射力場 extra action button to help mitigate the damage.
If you chose to use the 散射力場, do note that you will need to organize the healers into two sets, as 液態地獄火 comes in before 散射力場s cooldown has recharged.

古爾丹魔能流瀉

Players can see which direction he is going to cast this in, as he has to charge it up beforehand. Players can use this time to sidestep out of the path of the ability, to avoid taking any extra damage.

古爾丹古爾丹之手

This marks an area of the room an causes a meteor to land there, dealing a large amount of shadow damage to anyone caught within the targeting circle.

古爾丹 will cast this three times in a row, every 15 seconds at the beginning of this phase.

The mini-bosses that spawn from the 古爾丹之手 appear in a set order and must be killed off in order to progress into Phase Two.

惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪擊碎本質

The tank must use the 共鳴屏障 ability to absorb the damage of this 擊碎本質. Tanks will need to rotate who gets hit by the ability in order to guarantee that 共鳴屏障 will be available for each incoming hit.

審判官維希茲暗影閃現

Tanks and melee damage dealers should move towards 審判官維希茲 as he will remain stationary on any location that he 暗影閃現s too.

審判官維希茲 will chain cast Dark Blast at the tank, dealing a small amount of shadow damage each cast.

審判官維希茲 will spawn in multiple eyes by casting 維希茲的目光. These eyes will spawn around the location of random players.

The eyes will then send out a beam which deals a large amount of shadow damage to any player caught in their path. The eyes then slowly rotate on the spot.

Because of this, players want to stick to one side of the room whilst 審判官維希茲 is active.

This will cause any of the eyes that spawn to remain on one side of the room, keeping the other side of the room free for player movement for the rest of phase one.

Players also want to focus down 審判官維希茲 as soon as possible, as you are able to kill him before any eyes spawn through this ability.

靈魂漩渦

This cage will slowly pull in all players whilst dealing light ticking damage to them.

Any players who are caught near the cage are afflicted with 被撕開的靈魂, a debuff which increases all physical damage taken by 100% and also deals light ticking shadow damage over the course of its 18 second duration.

When this ability is cast, the targeted player should move away from the raid and place the cage in a clear area of the room. The tank targeted by 靈魂漩渦 cannot avoid taking at least 1 stack of 被撕開的靈魂.

While under the effect of this debuff it is unwise to be taking hits from the mini-bosses, due to the additional damage you will take, so therefor the other tank should taunt after the 靈魂漩渦 cast.

審判官維希茲

Damage dealing players should save cooldowns and 時間擴張 for when he spawns so that they can kill him quickly.

After 審判官維希茲 has perished, the other two mini-bosses should be worked on next. The order of which dies next doesn't matter too much, however it is likely that 惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪 will be closer to death as he is the one that spawned first.

古爾丹Phase 2: The Ritual of Aman'Thul古爾丹

Tanks want to keep him in the middle of the encounter area, whilst the ranged players form a loosely stacked group, around 15 yards away from 古爾丹. This is because he maintains his 液態地獄火 ability.

When the ability comes in, ranged players can keep stacking underneath the 散射力場 from healers, whilst the melee damage dealers take a significantly lower amount of damage as they're far from the explosion.

古爾丹惡魔束縛

To remove the debuff, the affected player must break their chain by moving away from the location where they initially received the chain. When the chain breaks the player will receive a large burst of fire damage split between anyone within 5 yards.

You want to have the ranged players stacked 10 yards behind the melee players. As soon as the ability is cast, bonded ranged players can break into the melee camp, whilst the melee camp can break into the ranged camp.

This ability will always target the primary tank. The afflicted tank should be taunted off of, whilst they move into the melee camp to break their bond.

古爾丹古爾丹之眼古爾丹

Players should try and be spread out before the ability lands to reduce incoming raid damage.

The eyes will also periodically duplicate, summoning a copy of itself nearby. The copy that spawns will have the same health as the Eye it duplicated from.

When the eyes spawn, you want to nuke them down as soon as possible. Damage dealers should plan for this and have 時間擴張 ready for the eyes, to make sure that they die quickly.

This will also help reduce the health of the duplicated eyes, or stop them from spawning all together, as the eyes can be destroyed before duplication occurs.

古爾丹惡魔鐮刀

This will deal a large amount of fire damage split between the tank and anyone within 2 yards of them.

This cast will also give 古爾丹 15% attack speed for 10 seconds. This buff stacks.

古爾丹惡魔鐮刀

For each point of energy used, it increases the damage of 惡魔鐮刀 by 5%.

If 古爾丹 reaches full energy, he will cast 惡魔鐮刀 regardless if the tank has anyone nearby.

古爾丹

To achieve this, tanks want to trigger this ability every 11-12 seconds by having the two tanks stand within 2 yards of one another.

Both tanks should use a form of active mitigation for the 惡魔鐮刀 to reduce the damage you take.

Although Tanks can also solo take the 100% energy hit, by stacking large cooldowns or by using their 共鳴屏障 extra action button ability, we recommend that you do not do this, as you would rather save large cooldowns for his 強化惡魔束縛.

古爾丹惡魔束縛強化惡魔束縛

You want all Dps and Healers to be stacked up underneath Gul'dan so that when the boss knocks you back you'll land close together and on the platform.

All ranged players will then need to go and help soak the 2 non-tank bonded players.

This ability targets the main tank. That tank wants to use large cooldowns or 共鳴屏障 to break their bond without having the split the damage with raid members. Tanks may need to rotate who is tanking the boss to make sure that they always have a sufficient cooldowns to break the empowered bonds.

液態地獄火

You want to have ranged players stack up around 15-20 yards away from melee, so that the fire that spawns will be placed close together. This will give you more space in the encounter area to move and deal with additional abilities.

Ranged players need to be aware of overlaps, where the 強化惡魔束縛 will directly follow an Empowered Liquid Hellfire. You need to ensure that you move as a single unit as you move from the Liquid Hellife, so you remain stacked up for the incoming Bonds.

古爾丹之眼

When cast, this will spawn a single 強化古爾丹之眼. The eye will channel beams of fire damage to multiple players at once, dealing ever increasing damage to them and to anyone within 8 yards of them.

Ranged players must be spread apart 8 yards before the 強化古爾丹之眼 spawns, as the splash damage from the beams deals a large amount of damage.

The 強化古爾丹之眼 will also follow their highest threat target, so they should be picked up by the tank. The empowered eye can also duplicate, so nuking the eye down is even more important now due to its empowered form.

古爾丹Phase 3: The Master's Power

At this point a gust of wind will push players towards one side of the platform. Players want to be stacked in the middle of the room and run against this push-back to avoid falling off.

Gul'dan will then remove all players extra action buttons, and then phase 3 will begin.

Tanks want to drag Gul'dan to one side of the platform. Throughout this phase you will need to continue to deal with his 惡魔鐮刀 every 11-12 seconds, just like in phase 2.

Ranged players will then want to spread out on one side of the room in smaller raid sizes, or two sides in larger raid sizes.

This will help deal with the incoming 強化古爾丹之眼.

強化古爾丹之眼

Dps should try and save cooldowns for each time an eye spawns, including using Bloodlust on the very first eye.

If tanks are able to face Gul'dan towards the center of the room, whilst still keeping him at the edge of the platform, this will cause the eye to spawn closer to ranged dps, allowing them to switch to it more easily.

薩格拉斯之焰

This is a debuff applied to multiple players at once. After 3 seconds, those players will start dealing ticking damage to themselves and anyone within 8 yards of them.

Shortly after anyone takes damage from this ability, a patch of 荒寂之地 will spawn underneath them.

The raid needs to keep the amount of 荒寂之地 patches to a minimum, so that they have the largest space possible in which to spread and move from other mechanics.

Anyone targetted by this ability must move away from the raid quickly and place the fires out of harms way, with melee players moving to the edges of the encounter area, whilst ranged players place the fires behind the group they are in.

This ability can be placed on the tank. When this occurs, have the other tank taunt so that the debuffed tank can move away to place the fire.

薩格拉斯之焰荒寂之地

You want to move out the raid, then stand still whilst the debuff ticks twice. At that point you then want to move to the edge of the 荒寂之地 patches you have created and allow the remaining patches to spawn there.

This will keep the 荒寂之地 as grouped up as possible, by having 2 patches of stacked fire, rather than 4 patches of spread out fire.

靈魂虹吸

This healing absorption debuff needs to be topped up to allow the affected players to receive healing during large incoming damage.

For each Siphon Soul cast on players, a single soul will be placed within the Well of Souls which is directly in the middle of the room.

These souls must be removed from the well before 黑暗收穫 is cast, as each soul will deal additional damage during the ability.

That player will gain 靈魂腐敗, a 3 minute debuff which deals ticking damage. As this debuff stacks, you want to make sure that all ranged players soak, to allow the debuffs to be evenly distributed across the raid.

It is also important that players soak during the downtime between the 強化古爾丹之眼 and the 薩格拉斯之焰, as the healers will be preoccupied healing those abilities and may not be able to keep players alive whilst they are soaking in the well.

黑暗收穫薩格拉斯之焰毀滅者風暴

The explosions will grow bigger and gain more damage over the course of the series.

You need to make sure that gul'dan is on the edge on one side of the room. Then, as soon as the cast starts, have everyone run over to the other side of the room to avoid the damage.

The explosions will clean up the room by removing any 荒寂之地 patches on the ground. After the cast he will then teleport to the tank.

During the explosions, the boss can apply 薩格拉斯之焰 to players. These players need to react quickly and try and place the 荒寂之地 near the incoming explosions, so that the fire can be cleared immediately.

毀滅者風暴強化古爾丹之眼

The entire raid will need use a movement speed increase and run over to the eye, so that it can be killed off quickly before it starts duplicating.

DPS should save a cooldown for this point, even if it is just a second potion.

Strategy SummaryPhase 1

Avoid standing within 古爾丹s 魔能流瀉 and 古爾丹之手.

Ranged players should stack up whilst healers use 散射力場 to mitigate the damage of 液態地獄火

Tanks must take turns using 共鳴屏障 on each 擊碎本質 cast from 惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪.

Tanks should move away from the group when 靈魂漩渦 is cast on them, thus reducing the chance of extra players gaining stacks of 被撕開的靈魂. Players should move away from the cage.

The entire raid should stick to one side of the room whilst 審判官維希茲 is active. This will keep the other side of the room clear of his 維希茲的目光 eye beams.

Damage dealers should save cooldowns and 時間擴張 for when 審判官維希茲 spawns. This will reduce the amount of 維希茲的目光 eye beams in the encounter area.

Healers dispel 吸取 as quickly as possible to reduce the healing 審判官維希茲 receives (Heroic Only)

Move from the rumbling 魔能石碑 patches and the green 痛苦的靈魂 patches (Heroic Only)

Phase 2

Tanks stack on top of one another every 11-12 seconds to trigger 古爾丹s 惡魔鐮刀 at the lowest possible damage, whilst allowing his attack speed buff to drop.

Ranged players should stack 10 yards behind the Gul'dan so that the ranged 惡魔束縛 targets can move to break their bonds into melee. Whilst the melee 惡魔束縛 targets break into ranged.

Tanks should taunt switch when the Bonds of Fel are applied, to allow the main tank to break his bonds into melee without triggering 惡魔鐮刀.

Eyes of Gul’dan should be swapped to and killed off as soon as possible, preferably with players using 時間擴張. Players targeted by their beams should move 8 yards away from any other player.

古爾丹 should be tanked in the middle of the room, to allow players targeted by 強化惡魔束縛 to remain on the platform after being knocked back.

Players should run over to targets affected by the 強化惡魔束縛 so that they can break their bonds without taking lethal damage, whilst the tank breaks their bonds solo by using large damage reduction cooldowns.

Ranged players should be stacked up away from 古爾丹 for the 液態地獄火, whilst healers continue to use 散射力場 to mitigate the damage it deals.

Ranged players should stay close to previous Empowered 液態地獄火 patches to help keep the encounter area clean.

Tanks should make sure to maintain threat on the 強化古爾丹之眼 as the DPS nuke it down.

Players need to move from the 古爾丹之手 and Damage dealers should kill off the Dreadlord it spawns as soon as possible whilst interrupting its 屍臭波襲. (Heroic Only)

Phase 3

Be next to Gul'dan at the beginning of the phase, and run against the winds that try and push you off the platform.

Tanks want to position Gul'dan on one side of the room, whilst they stack of one another every 11-12 seconds to trigger 惡魔鐮刀 at the lowest possible damage, whilst allowing his attack speed buff to drop.

Ranged players want to be spread evenly on both sides of the room in larger raid sizes, or on one side of the room in smaller raid sizes.

DPS need to be kill off the 強化古爾丹之眼 whilst the ranged players are spread 8 yards to avoid splashing damage onto one another.

Players afflicted with 薩格拉斯之焰 need to run away from the group to place the patches of 荒寂之地 away from anyone else.

The 薩格拉斯之焰 should be stacked on top of one another as much as possible, to increase the space the raid gets to work with.

Healers need to heal up players with 靈魂虹吸 to allow those players to receive healing during large raid wide damage.

Ranged players need to remove the souls in the 靈魂之井 by standing within it, this will reduce the damage taken by 黑暗收穫 to survivable levels.

When 黑暗收穫 is cast, healers need to use healing cooldowns.

Looking For Raid Difficulty

Players will not have access to the extra action button abilities gained through the Essence of Aman'Thul. Abilities such as 擊碎本質 have had their damage significantly reduced to compensate for this.

In Phase Two, 古爾丹之眼 beam damage doesn't increase over time.

In Phase Three, there is no 靈魂之井.

Heroic Difficulty

惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪 will summon several patches which will erupt into 魔能石碑s. These obelisks will stun any player hit by them for 7 seconds whilst dealing ticking damage to them. Players must keep an eye on the ground to make sure that they move from any patches.

審判官維希茲 will apply 吸取 to multiple players. This is a dispellable dot with a 21 second duration. Each tick of the dot will heal 審判官維希茲 for a substantial amount. It is important that healers dispel these debuffs as soon as possible to ensure that 審判官維希茲 dies quickly.

『陷捕者』德卓里克斯 will now send out volleys of 痛苦的靈魂 which will land on the ground and explode, dealing damage to any player struck. Players need to identify the green landing indicator of the ability and move out of its way.

古爾丹古爾丹之手

The Dreadlord must be picked up by the tank whilst the DPS focus their damage into him. Strong single target DPS may want to use 時間擴張 on the Dreadlord rather than on the 古爾丹之眼 adds.

Dreadlords will cast 屍臭波襲 which will send out a large wave towards a player, dealing a large amount of shadow damage to anyone in its wake whilst putting them to sleep for 5 seconds.

The 屍臭波襲 is interruptible, so you should make sure that each cast gets interrupted. Each time the ability is interrupted, the Dreadlord will gain a stack of 集中攻擊, a stacking buff which increases damage done and attack speed by 25%.

Players must kill the Dreadlord before the 集中攻擊 stacks become overwhelming.

Mythic DifficultyThis Mythic Overview has been provided by Ortholomus from Sellswords of Eternal Kingdom-Proudmoore.
古爾丹The Council of Elders古爾丹The Ritual of Aman'Thul古爾丹The Demon Within古爾丹之手惡魔領主庫拉茲瑪毀滅者風暴毀滅者風暴Phase 1 - The Ritual of Aman'Thul

Tanks gain 共鳴屏障. Once used, it will cause that player to absorb all damage taken for 6 seconds. This does not change from Heroic.

Healers gain 散射力場. These bubbles should be used by healers throughout Phase 1 to help players break bonds. On Mythic, the damage absorb amount per bubble is 30,000,000 damage and allows three bond players per single bubble to solo break their bond as long as they break inside a bubble. Scattering Field should be only be used to break bonds and not for the Liquid Hellfires.

DPS gain 時間擴張. On Mythic, Time Dilation lasts for 30 seconds rather than 10 seconds. DPS should use their Time Dilations immediately after breaking the first initial bonds when starting the encounter.

暗影凝視 - Parasitic Shadow Demons fixate and stun a player until they reach their target or are killed. If a Parasitic Shadow Demon reaches its target, the player is then applied with 寄生之傷.

暗影罩氅 - Parasitic Shadow Demons are surrounded by a shadow shroud which absorbs any attack that is more than 15 yards away. This means that only melee will be able to effectively damage and kill these adds

體內的惡魔斷魂烈焰撞擊斷魂

烈焰撞擊 - At full energy, 體內的惡魔 leaps at the furthest target, and does a raidwide AoE, decreasing in damage as distance from the point of impact.

斷魂 – At full energy, 體內的惡魔 strikes his target for 13650000 to 14350000 Physical damage and shears a soul fragment of his target from their body. This also creates several arcs of Shadow magic in a cone that travel outward. Each shadow arc also shears a soul fragment of any targets struck from their body.

被撕裂的靈魂– Any target struck by Soulsever is affected by Sheared Soul. This player cannot be healed until another player collects their Soul Fragment.

魂斷 – Any player who collects a Soul Fragment becomes is inflicted with 1.2 million damage and is then given the Severed debuff, increasing their damage taken from collecting additional Soul Fragments by 900% for 30 seconds.

分割之魂 – Once the Sheared Soul player’s Soul Fragment has been collected by another player, the player is then afflicted with Severed Soul, which places a 7.8-8.2 million healing absorb on the player.

夜之球

扭曲光環 - The Nightorbs have a small void zone around them called Distortion Aura which will silence/pacify any player that comes into contact with it.

善變彈幕 - The Nightorb will also cast Capricious Barrage at its current target which does a splash AoE.

夜之護盾 - The Nightorbs are shielded by Nightshield which absorbs 50% of all damage taken. This can only be ignored by a player with the buff 埃辛諾斯壁壘.

時間停止領域 - When a Nightorb dies, it spawns a Time Stop Field for 10 seconds. Any player inside the Time Stop Field will be stunned and immune from damage for its duration. All players debuffs, buffs, and CDs will also freeze.

不穩定 – While a Nightorb is alive, it is unstable and removes about 1.3% of its health every second. Instability is also affected by 惡魔剋星.

黑暗泰坦幻象時間停止領域埃辛諾斯靈魂碎片體內的惡魔

混亂種子 - The Soul Fragments of Azzinoth manifest an orb of chaotic energy which explodes upon reaching its destination. Any player caught in the explosion will take massive ticking damage every half-second, for 6 seconds.

埃辛諾斯壁壘 - Increases threat generated by 200% and decreases magic damage taken by 60%, and allows the wearer to bypass a Nightorb’s 夜之護盾. This can be removed from the 埃辛諾斯靈魂碎片 by Mages and Warlocks.

熱情 - The longer a 埃辛諾斯靈魂碎片 is alive, it will gain a stacking buff of Fervor, increasing all damage done by 30% and attack speed by 5%.

惡魔精華 - When a Soul Fragment of Azzinoth dies, it will spawn a Demonic Essence orb at its location which starts at 1% HP. Standing in the Demonic Essence void zone will heal it for 4% a second, per player inside. At 100% health, the Demonic Essence will turn into a 純淨精華, and cast 純淨精華. 純淨精華 also has the important role of stunning the boss during the 黑暗泰坦幻象 ability applying both 受傷 to the boss and 惡魔剋星 to all enemies.

惡魔剋星 – Increases damage taken by 50% for 5 seconds. Demonbane is stackable. For example, if three 純淨精華 casts go off in a short period of time, then the boss will take 150% additional damage for 30 seconds. Likewise, if two 純淨精華 casts go off, the boss will take 100% additional damage for 15 seconds.

受傷 – Stuns the boss for 15 seconds.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but getting rid of the Eyes that Gul'dan summons is imperative. The rest of the mechanics you can mostly dodge out of (if you're paying attention), but if those eyes are left unchecked, they multiply and can wipe the raid in seconds, targeting multiple players with death-rays.

I've seen a raid wipe up to 3 times on this (LFR nonetheless.. or maybe because of it) simply because people focused solely on Gul'dan.

In all fairness, even if you read the Dungeon Journal (usually a great tool for getting the jist of raid mechanics), it says literally nothing about the Eyes. Not. One. Word. This is either a brilliant "challenge-causing" decision on Blizzard's part, or they're just sadistic. Either way, be sure to give that Dungeon Journal a read-through before jumping into any new raid. Everyone will thank you.

"Legend has it that there is an additional phase for this encounter on Mythic. We'll have to wait and see!"

Would have expected this guide to be updated by now....

評論來自 Kaerfemagsh

before the fight he says something like "death is coming & she will be the end of you" or something along those lines. Who's this "she" thats supposed to be our doom? Azshara (didnt know her & guldan were on speaking terms)?

WHERE IS KHADGAR AFTER YOU KILL GUL'DAN?

評論來自 GentlemanMaj

I'm confused so does gul'dan's loot not spawn on mythic or do you get it from killing the demon within, if so does the demon within drop the mounts?
