Tips
When your Rimefrost or
Septic Taint is about to expire, you
should move to the edge of the room and away from other players to drop a pool.
Use
Transcendence: Transfer to get back in - this is especially important
on Heroic Mode, as excessive movement with the Poison Brand will harm you.
Some groups may have you soak Crushing Reverberation alone. This
is not an issue for Brewmasters at all, as
Stagger reduces the
immediate damage massively.
For more information, please refer to our Abyssal Commander Sivara strategy guide.

Tips
Stick to the edge of the boss arena, staying away from any Coral Growths,
as these spawn bubbles that will replenish the bosses shield. Kite her around
the arena slowly - when you are
Barnacle Bashed, a pool of
Cutting Coral
will form. You should swap after each bash.
For more information, please refer to our Lady Ashvane strategy guide.

Tips
Tanks have an important job on this fight. The boss' melee swings apply
Desensitizing Sting, reducing the damage you take by 10% for each stack.
Adds spawn throughout the encounter, and when they die, they leave behind
Amniotic Splatter, a pool which must be soaked but deals very high
damage.
By swapping as soon as each set of adds spawns, the soaking tank will have
enough stacks to take all 3 pools. If you are too slow to kill the adds and
your debuff runs out, you can use Dampen Harm,
Zen Meditation,
and healer externals to soak them.
In Phase 2, the Dreadcoil Hulk add will have a stomp you must soak. You can share the damage of this, but should be able to take it alone with 4+ stacks.
For more information, please refer to our Orgozoa strategy guide.
The Queen's Court
We advise you to use the following talents against The Queen's Court.
- Level 15:

- Major Slot

- The Crucible of Flame — Rank 3:

Tips
Swap when the Pashmar tank's Pashmar's Touch stacks fall off. Do your
first swap whenever convenient, probably around 5 stacks or so.
Use heavy cooldowns if you are tanking Pashmar when Zealous Eruption is
cast. You should also use healer externals during the
Obey or Suffer decree,
as you will be unhealable 50% of the time.
For more information, please refer to our The Queen's Court strategy guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha.

Tips
One tank takes damage from the boss during this fight, and the other takes 50% of the damage the boss tank takes. You must remain within 12 yards of each other and be the closest players to each other at the start of each phase. It is likely that Brewmaster will be the preferred tank for boss tanking.
For more information, please refer to our Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha strategy guide.

Tips
In the first phase, each tank takes one of Aethanel and Cyranus. They will
occasionally cast Painful Memories and
Longing. When
Painful Memories is cast, move the bosses out of line of sight of each other.
Similarly, move them so they can see each other after Longing. Failing to do
so will grant
Torment, increasing their damage greatly. You will
have to kite the bosses slowly during Longing, as
Cursed Heart pools spawn
underneath each boss. For this reason and because you will want to cleave the
bosses, it may be better to stack the bosses during Longing. Additionally,
swap when you reach 3 stacks of
Cold Blast.
Phase Two has Queen Azshara enter the arena and become tankable. The Ancient Ward nearest her will be drained of energy, so pay attention and move if you must. An Ancient Ward reaching 0 energy will end the encounter. Alternatively, being nearest the Ward of Power will charge it, making the fight more difficult. Avoid this.
She will apply a stacking Arcane Vulnerability debuff, which you
simply swap on occasionally. She should be positioned so players can easily leave
line of sight when they need to.
Ring of Peace is useful to stop adds when they march towards the
Rude of Power.
In Phase 3, a Loyal Myrmidon is spawned. Swap between the add and the boss
as you would before. The Myrmidon should be tanked with a Tidemistress between
it and the raid, as it casts Charged Spear, which is used to kill
the Tidemistresses.
The last Phase only adds a healing debuff for the tanks to swap on.
For more information, please refer to our Queen Azshara strategy guide.
