Heroic Boss Guides: TL;DR
BY Andrew Miesner / January 17, 2020
Welcome to our TL;DR Cheat Sheet! This is meant to give you basic information on the key aspects of each fight, and is over-simplified. We strongly recommend that after you finish reading this, you visit the page for each boss to get more in-depth information on how the abilities work and a detailed strategy.
Back and forth between P1 and P2 till he dies
Phase 1
- Nobody stand in front of, or behind, the boss (except for active tank)
- Red circle under you, get out
- Boss does the giant red swirlie, get 35 yards away
- Immediately after, run to the furthest edge of the room and wait for explosions to end
Phase 2
- 3 people need to soak the red soak circles, run over pillars
- Everyone else finds and kills stealthed mobs
- Kill any pillars your 3 person team couldn’t
Back and forth between P1 and P2 till he dies
Phase 1
- Melee stand to the boss’s side, ranged and heals behind him
- Don’t get hit by Black Wings
- If you get the purple targeting circle, move towards the edge of the room to drop puddle
- Don’t stand in giant purple swirlie. After it explodes, add spawns from the middle
- Tank 1 gets boss, tank 2 gets add 1 when it spawns
- When add 2 spawns, tank 2 taunts boss. Boss will eat add 1 when it gets close
- Repeat this when add 3 spawns
- Stand in the purple puddle during Stygian Annihilation
Phase 2
- Everyone stack in melee
- Tanks run around and soak blue orbs coming from the side
- Drop your debuff on the raid group
- If you get small purple swirlie, move 8 yards out till it goes away
Back and forth between normal and intermission phase. Intermission every 20% HP
Normal Phase

Intermission
- Boss splits raid in half with debuffs
