The Restless Cabal
We advise you to use the following talents against The Restless Cabal.
- Level 15: Heartbreaker
- Level 25: Hemostasis
- Level 30: Relish in Blood
- Level 35: Will of the Necropolis
- Level 40: Wraith Walk

Tips
- You can soak the Void Crash when it is at full size with
Anti-Magic Shell, thus negating the need for your raid to move as much to
avoid these. 
Asphyxiate will stun the Eldritch Abomination, acting as an
interrupt for the cast.- Be particularly aware of the time your raid will use the Void Stone, as this makes you immune to all healing (including self-healing) while it is up. Consider asking for external cooldowns during this time.
More tips will be added after the raid is released and once Mythic difficulty becomes available.
Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void
We advise you to use the following talents against Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void.
- Level 15: Heartbreaker
- Level 25: Hemostasis
- Level 30: Relish in Blood
- Level 35: Will of the Necropolis
- Level 40: Wraith Walk
- Level 45: Death Pact
- Level 50: Red Thirst
Tips
- You can soak the Void Crash (Phase 1) when it is at full size with
Anti-Magic Shell, thus negating the need for your raid to move as much to
avoid these.
- Asphyxiate will stun the Mindbenders (Phase 2).
- Your grips can be used as an interrupt on the Mindbenders in Phase 2, and to group them for easier AoE.
- If you tank first in Phase 2, you will be the add tank during the add spawns in Phase 2, therefore making grips easier.
- Be particularly aware of the time your raid will use the Void Stone, as this makes you immune to all healing (including self-healing) while it is up. Consider asking for externals during this time.
More tips will be added after the raid is released and once Mythic difficulty becomes available.
