7.1.

General Tips

7.2.

Healing Tips

  • Use Evangelism Icon Evangelism during Pa'ku's Wrath Icon Pa'ku's Wrath, which occurs every 1:10. This means you will need to alternate your Evangelism casts with another ability, Cry of the Fallen Icon Cry of the Fallen. Keep in mind the priority here is Pa'ku's Wrath since it is substantially more damage to heal compared to Cry of the Fallen.
  • Keep an eye on players with Kimbul's Wrath Icon Kimbul's Wrath as it leaves a permanent DoT.
  • Dispel players with Mind Wipe Icon Mind Wipe as quickly as possible, making other healers a priority.

General Tips

Healing Tips

  • Use Evangelism Icon Evangelism to counter Ire of the Deep Icon Ire of the Deep damage in Phase 2. Phase one usage of the cooldown will be limited due to the split nature of the encounter.

The number of players required to remove Freezing Blood will increase throughout the encounter; at 50 energy it requires 3 players, at 75 energy it requires 5, and at full energy all players will lose all visibility and line of sight to one another.
  • Phase 1Frozen Siege Icon Frozen Siege will disable a random Ballista making it not able to be controlled, but the ice can be destroyed.
  • First Intermission — Icebound Images will spawn around Jaina. The images need to be killed as they will buff Jaina with Arctic Armor Icon Arctic Armor making Howling Winds Icon Howling Winds uninterruptable.
  • Second Intermission — Tide Elementals will have Splitting Frost Icon Splitting Frost which makes it split into more elementals upon death.
  • Phase 3 — Information in the dungeon journal is missing for this phase but it is guaranteed to have several mechanics as other final bosses have had in their final phases, making that phase much more difficult from lower difficulties. More information will be added here for this phase.
