Mythic Changes

• New add, Mawsworn Overlord
  • Larger versions of the regular adds
  • Has a circle around him. Any other adds within the circle are buffed with Defiance, making them immune to crowd control and deal 200% increased damage
    • Important note here - this does NOT REMOVE existing crowd control. It only prevents NEW crowd control
  • This add cannot be gripped or knocked back, must just be burned down
  • Additionally, if the Overlord reaches Garrosh, it grants Defiance to ALL Agonizer adds, super bad news bears
• Torment hurts a lot more, you just die now
• Warmonger Shackles hurt a shitload more now too, need to plan out timing of popping them
  • Hellscream is only a 25 second cast on Mythic. If a tick goes off, you’ll wipe
• Echoing Screams got buffed, passive 4k shadow every 2 seconds to the raid
• Ruinblade forces tank swap each cast now

Strategy

• The primary bits of difficulty here are dealing with the adds properly, and the Warmonger Shackles. Both require a good deal of coordination.
• Comp - 2 tanks, 5 healers, 13 DPS
• Bloodlust on pull
• Tanks need to swap after each Ruinblade
• Adds
  • You’ll want to have multiple players with knockbacks and/or grips in your raid
  • As soon as the adds spawn, isolate the Overlord
    • Use those knockbacks or grips to move smaller adds away from the Overlord
    • Stack up the Agonizers, away from the Overlord
    • Stack your Brands of Torment on the Overlord, and blow it up as fast as possible

• • • As soon as the Overlord dies, everyone should swap and annihilate the Agonizers
      • Bring the Brands of Torment on top of the Agonizers for the damage buff
      • You may get a Torment while you're trying to kill adds. Keep them slowed / CC'd if this happens
  • Make sure you always have slows applied to the Agonizers
  • Utilize Brands of Torment to their fullest. Always double stack these on whatever you’re killing - the extra damage is incredibly powerful
  • As a note - you CAN hard-CC the Agonizers. Freezing Trap, Imprison, etc will work. Doing this is better than just a slow, so hard-CC them when possible
    • You can see this in the gif above
• Warmonger Shackles
  • Assign groups of 3 for this before you pull. You can NOT do this twice during the same fight.
    • Plan for 6 sets of Shackles, meaning 18 people need to yoink chains
    • Assign every player except your 2 tanks
    • In your assignments, specify which shackle each player is doing - left, center, right
  • When these come out, everyone in the raid should stack near the center of the room
  • Drop a Warlock’s Gateway from the middle Shackle, to the back of the room
  • The assigned 3 person team should all click their Shackles, and wait for the RL to call out
  • Have these people click the gateway, which’ll shoot them to the back of the room & break their Shackle
    • Raid Leader calls out which player goes when. Ensure there’s enough time between breaks for the healers to stabilize the raid

• • Pop DR cooldowns during this. Barrier, AMZ, Devo, etc. This’ll help keep the raid healthy
  • Get through all 3 Shackles as quickly as possible, because if Hellscream gets a tick off, you wipe
• The real pain in the ass is that you can have Shackles overlap with adds
  • When this happens, obviously still kill the adds, but prioritize getting Shackles done ASAP
  • You can survive being slow on adds, you cannot survive being slow on a Shackle
  • This overlap always happens at 4:20. See GIF below for example

• Aside from that, don’t mess up heroic mechanics. Dodge swirlies, dodge Torment, survive the dance, etc.
