Lore
The Demonic Inquisition is the second boss in the Tomb of Sargeras.
Anticipating the arrival of mortal forces invading the Tomb of Sargeras, Kil'jaeden has called on his best captors, Atrigan and Belac, to lock down the interlopers and prevent them from using the Pillars to advance deeper into the dungeon.
Outline
The Demonic Inquisition is a single-phase encounter featuring 2 bosses that
engage the raid together. During the encounter, any damage taken from either
boss' abilities will increase the player's Torment levels. Upon
reaching maximum Torment (100), they must
Confess to remove a crippling
debuff and be transported into a prison area. This constitutes a pseudo-phase
of its own, where the jailed players must survive while collecting enough
Remnants of Hope to escape the cage. The two bosses share health, allowing
classes with efficient cleave (such as Destruction Warlocks) to shine
brightly.
Here is a preview of the fight from the PTR.
TL;DR
Tanks
- Coordinate your
Torment level with the other tank to ensure both of you do not
Confess at the same time. Atrigan's attacks will apply 2 Torment via
Bone Scythe, and therefore the Atrigan tank should be the first to Confess (alternating thereafter).
- Kite the boss during
Bone Saw and avoid attacking to minimize damage taken and
Torment gain.
- Keep Atrigan faced away from the group as he will periodically cleave the
space in front of him with
Scythe Sweep.
- Tank the Tormented Soul when you
Confess and are sent to Belac's prison.
Healers
- Be sure to delay the dispelling of
Echoing Anguish, giving them time to get out of the group so that the least amount of people are hit by
Anguished Outburst.
DPS
- Avoid attacking Atrigan during
Bone Saw and Belac during
Fel Squall to bypass generating additional
Torment.
- Melee should stay out of
Bone Saw to avoid taking heavy damage.
Everyone
- Positioning
- Ranged and Healers should form a loose spread to avoid taking any extra
damage or Torment from
Anguished Outburst and
Suffocating Dark.
- Tanks should keep the bosses split when possible as the casts of
Bone Saw and
Fel Squall are staggered.
- Ranged and Healers should form a loose spread to avoid taking any extra
damage or Torment from
- Interrupt Belac's casts of
Pangs of Guilt.
- Avoid
Bone Saw and
Fel Squall.
Confess when you reach maximum
Torment (100)to avoid the
Unbearable Torment debuff. Torment has no effect until reaching 100 and is acquired when taking damage from either bosses abilities.
- Collect as many Remnants of Hope as possible and avoid the
Tormented Eruptions when you are in Belac's prison after Confessing.
Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp
We advise you to use Bloodlust/
Heroism/
Time Warp
at the pull. The entire raid will be at 0
Torment, ensuring the
entire group gets maximum benefit (as no one will have their
Bloodlust
interrupted by
Confess). The bosses will also not be casting
Bone Saw and
Fel Squall for some time, allowing the raid to
cleave at maximum efficiency.
