Lore

The Antoran High Command, comprised of Admiral Svirax, Chief Engineer Ishkar, and General Erodus, is the third encounter housed within Antorus, the Burning Throne.

Long ago in the golden age of eredar civilization, a council was formed to oversee the defense of Argus and maintain peace. But after their dark bargain was struck with Sargeras, these master tacticians used their military expertise to help orchestrate a Burning Crusade that ravaged countless worlds.

Now the full might of the Legion's army is theirs to command, and they wield this terrible power to annihilate all who oppose the Dark Titan's will.

Outline

The Antoran High Command is technically a single phase encounter, however it features three bosses that will engage the raid alone at separate times throughout the fight, breaking it into three distinct pseudo-phases. All three bosses share a health pool.

TL;DR

4.1.

Tanks

  • Perform a taunt swap at 2 stacks of Exploit Weakness Icon Exploit Weakness.
  • Stand behind the boss when not actively tanking to avoid gaining stacks from Exploit Weakness Icon Exploit Weakness.
  • Face all three bosses away from the group at all times.
4.2.

Healers

  • Have cooldowns coordinated for Fusillade Icon Fusillade impacts, when General Erodus is active.
  • Players inside the pod will be taking increasing ticking damage over time and will need immense surgical healing.

Positioning

Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp

We advise you to use Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust/Heroism Icon Heroism/Time Warp Icon Time Warp when General Erodus is active ("Phase Three"). This is the highest risk phase and damage taken will be at its maximum; Bloodlust/Heroism fulfills a dual function here as both a means to finish the encounter as soon as possible and as a much needed boost to healing. Bloodlust can alternately be used immediately on the pull for a slight boost in overall damage output efficiency.
