Gnarlroot
Tips
Two phases single target encounter with adds spawning.
During the first phase Demonic Circle and to a lesser
extent
Demonic Gateway can solve the movements required to spawn the
Lashers when affected by
Controlled Burn.
During the second phase, a preplaced Demonic Circle allows to move to the
respective section of the arena if needed.
Enter the Uprooted Agony phase with a cooldown to get the most out of
the damage increase phase.
Tainted Treants can be affected by Curse of Tongues and can
be interrupted in Mythic difficulty.
Spreading Warlock Demonology 10.2 Class Set 2pc on multiple targets is
advised whenever cleaving adds is possible.
For more information, please refer to our Gnarlroot guide.
Igira the Cruel
Tips
Two-phased, single-target encounter with a fair bit of movement involved.
In the first phase other than avoiding Twisting Blade try to help burning
down
Blistering Spears, and if targeted, consider using active
mitigation such as
Dark Pact.
After the boss reaches 100 energy, they will start the second phase.
Again, active mitigation can be used for the soaking
of Marked for Torment and the following
Hacking Torment group
soak.
Save instant casts for when Slicing Torment happens, as there will
be a handful of global cooldowns where players are forced to move.
When targeted by Flaying Torment make use
of
Healthstone,
Mortal Coil to heal up if needed.
For more information, please refer to our Igira guide.
Volcoross
Tips
Single target encounter with a fair bit of movement involved.
Burning Rush can help to dodge the various waves and repositioning
through
Coiling Flames,
Volcanic Disgorge
and
Scorchtail Crash.
Both Demonic Circle and
Demonic Gateway can be used to
bypass the
Flood of the Firelands knockback.
For more information, please refer to our Volcoross guide.
Council of Dreams
Tips
Three targets council encounter which have to die at about the same time.
Smart Demonic Circle usage can prevent getting pushed
into
Noxious Blossoms while minimising downtime.
Demonology passive cleave will allow to get value from two targets close, just not to the same degree as the other Warlock specializations.
Warlock Demonology 10.2 Class Set 2pc usage can be optimized by covering
both bosses that will be tanked together, whereas having the mark on the
third will not necessarily provide tangible benefits.
For more information, please refer to our Council of Dreams guide.
Larodar, Keeper of the Flame
Tips
Two phases single target encounter with periodic adds.
In the first phase Demonic Circle,
Burning Rush
and
Demonic Gateway can help create distance
from
Scorching Roots if needed.
Soak orbs when possible, using active mitigation such
as Unending Resolve or
Dark Pact, and avoid the various ground
effects.
At 40% health, the boss will transition into the second phase.
Counter the healing absorption from Flash Fire
with
Mortal Coil and
Healthstone if needed.
Spreading Warlock Demonology 10.2 Class Set 2pc brand is once again
beneficial if treants can be cleaved.
For more information, please refer to our Larodar guide.
Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle
Tips
Two phases single target encounter.
Plan with the Raid when to use personal defensive cooldown as a variety of
soaks will require coordination with healers alongside the usage
of Dark Pact,
Unending Resolve and
possibly
Mortal Coil and
Healthstones.
Strategic Demonic Circle placement can help
cross
Verdant Matrix lines, however, might be better saved for
placing
Weaver's Burden away from the group,
alongside
Demonic Gateway.
Upon reaching 100 energy, the boss will deal heavy raid-wide damage and summon two adds starting the second phase.
Save cooldown in order to burn down the assigned Warden.
For more information, please refer to our Nymue guide.
Smolderon
Tips
Two phases single target encounter.
In the first phase, pay attention to not trigger Cauterizing Wound
prematurely with the usage of
Healthstones or
Mortal Coil, as
it could spawn a void zone in an unwanted spot.
Active mitigation should be considered when
soaking Brand of Damnation, but depending on the timer and Raid
strategy might be better to save when about to enter the second phase
with
Blazing Soul.
Try to enter the second phase with as many resources and cooldowns
possible, due to the damage amplification offered by Devour Essence
Orbs.
Demonic Circle and
Demonic Gateway can help when dealing
with
World in Flames mechanic.
For more information, please refer to our Smolderon guide.
Tindral Sageswift, Seer of the Flame
Tips
Three phases encounter with Dragonriding intermissions.
Across the phases, the mechanics will be the same, just with different overlapping.
Outside of dodging the obvious damaging effects, the main mechanic that
prompts a different talent setup is the Mass Entanglement, where
having burst AoE is the key to solving otherwise problematic overlaps.
Warlock Demonology 10.2 Class Set 2pc single brand,
Implosion
and
Demonic Strength on a group of roots should provide enough
damage to solve the issue, provided 2 or 3 imps sets are active at the time
of the spawn.
It is advisable to pool Demonic Core at the end of phase 1 and 2
in order to have additional resources to burn the
Supernova at the
beginning of the new platform.
During intermissions, it is important to collect as
many Dream Essences collectively, but at the same time, the sooner the
dps reach the new platform, the sooner they can damage
the
Supernova.
For more information, please refer to our Tindral guide.
Fyrakk the Blazing
Tips
Three phases encounter mostly single-target with the addition of cleave in phase 2.
Active mitigation such as Dark Pact or
Unending Resolve
should be used for
Dream Rend casts.
Demonic Circle can be used to get back in the group if targeted
by
Firestorm.
Demonic Gateway should be placed for the Raid to quickly avoid fall
off damage.
Demonic Circle should be used to negate the knockbacks in the last
phase.
