Make sure to have Feint ready for Raging Inferno. Even with the protection of the Seed, it still deals very high amounts of damage.

You can Blind one of the adds in the last Phase of the encounter, so it doesn't walk too close to the raid.

Crossing the lines of the Verdant Matrix can be done by using Shadowstep on a friendly target on the other side.

You can also Shadowstep over Impending Loom beams; just make sure you do not land on a Verdant Matrix line. There are two spots at the edge of the bosses hitbox, where you can walk up on the roots to dodge the beams without taking a Verdant Matrix dot.

Remember that both Crimson Vial and Health Potions can help trigger the Cauterizing Wound debuff on demand, if the absorb shield is already low enough.

Make sure to have your cooldowns available for the intermission phases.

You can soak multiple seeds at once in Phase 2 and 3, if you use Cloak of Shadows. You CANNOT do this on Mythic difficulty.
