This fight has 2 targets, with additional adds spawning throughout the
encounter. Both Doom and
Bilescourge Bombers are good on this
fight, but keep in mind running both will delay your opener by around 4 casts.
Choosing between Grimoire: Felguard and
Soul Conduit is
dictated by your traits and if you can make use of the additional cleave.
Make sure to reposition your Felguard so that you are able to cleave multiple targets; however, remember that Visage from Beyond is the priority add, so make sure to save resources if needed.
Custody of the Deep is a DPS-check mechanic, so make sure to coordinate
with your raid to pop these bubbles before they expire.
Warlock's mitigation and high stamina make them a good candidate for Zaxasj
tanking and to soak Void Crashes after they bounce twice. Make sure to
place your
Demonic Gateway and
Demonic Circle to minimize the
raid damage taken from
Crushing Doubt.
