The build above is your generic single target talent tree. Each Boss below will note if it uses this build or a different one if anything should be tweaked. Running the same talent build for every single Boss is not optimal but this build will perform decently on all encounters.

Talents
For Tindral, we recommend the default talent build at the top of the page.
Tips
- The Taunt swap is done when Searing Wrath stacks drops off.
- In Heroic difficulty and lower, you and the other Tank needs to alternate soaking Blazing Mushroom so they do not explode.
- In mythic difficulty, you need to alternate soaking Blazing Mushroom and Poisonous Mushroom. Taking two of the same will kill you.

Fyrakk the Blazing
Talents
For Fyrakk, we recommend either the talent build on the top of the page. Or alternatively changing to a talent tree including Illuminated Sigils and possibly Sigil of Chains to help your raid control the adds in Phase 2.
Tips
- The tank swap mechanic on this encounter is Fyr'alath's Bite, generally you want to taunt and switch at 2 stacks of the debuff. Do note that this ability has a frontal cone effect and needs to be aimed away from your raid.
- In Phase 2 there will be two Burning Colossus add spawns; tanks should take one each of these and position them on top of the smaller adds.
- In Phase 2 you can use Sigil of Chains and Sigil of Silence to help stack and control the casts of the small adds.
- In the last Phase the tank swap is Infernal Maw which leaves a constant ticking DoT which lasts until the fight is over. Tanks need to coordinate so no tank gets too many stacks.
For more information, please refer to our Fyrakk guide.
