2.6.

Damage Pattern

Bloodbound Horror Heroic Damage Patterns

There are really only 3 primary mechanics that are relevant on this fight from an incoming damage/heal absorb perspective. Gruesome Disgorge Icon Gruesome Disgorge is the tank frontal that you stand in to go to the other realm. This mechanic deals a large amount of up front damage and then deals constant ticking damage to you for the entire duration you spend in the other realm. Goresplatter Icon Goresplatter is a large damage over time effect that follows being forced to run away from the boss. This happens infrequently, requires a lot of movement, and often results in limited people being in range. As a result, it's often better to leave handling this to your cohealers. The final mechanic is a large heal absorb on a 30 second cadence called Crimson Rain Icon Crimson Rain. With discipline being able to hit a 30 second cadence easily with Bright Pupil Icon Bright Pupil allowing double Power Word: Radiance Icon Power Word: Radiance every 30 seconds, this is where you'll want to focus most of your healing.

2.7.

What to Ramp for

Crimson Rain Icon Crimson Rain will be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Sikran for Discipline Priest

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

2.10.

Damage Pattern

Sikran Heroic Damage Patterns

The primary incoming damage on this fight revolves around the core Cosmic Simulacrum Icon Cosmic Simulacrum mechanic. The boss will summon Simulacrum's of various players targeted by a mechanic, which will pulse damage while alive. These Simulacrum's need to be shattered by Decimate Icon Decimate, causing significant raid damage via Cosmic Shards Icon Cosmic Shards. If any Simulacrum's are still alive, the boss will destroy them all themselves with Shattering Sweep Icon Shattering Sweep. While there is a decent amount of damage taken just from the Simulacrum's being alive, your primary ramp targets will be when the Simulacrum's are destroyed via Decimate Icon Decimate as this will be significant damage over a short period of time. Shattering Sweep Icon Shattering Sweep itself also does significant damage on its own even when not destroying any Simulacrum's.

2.11.

What to Ramp for

Decimate Icon Decimate and Shattering Sweep Icon Shattering Sweep be your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

2.14.

Damage Pattern

Rasha'nan Heroic Damage Patterns

While there is a variety of mechanics causing damage on this fight, the primary mechanic you will care about as a discipline priest is the Erosive Spray Icon Erosive Spray cast with the Lingering Erosion Icon Lingering Erosion DoT after the fact. There will also be the occasional web mechanic called Spinneret's Websnap Icon Spinneret's Websnap that is caused by players snapping their web strands, but while this is raid wide damage, the timing is a bit inconsistent due to being player driven and its not nearly as much damage as the Erosive Sprays.

2.15.

What to Ramp for

Erosive Spray Icon Erosive Spray will be your primary ramp target for this encounter.

Tips for Broodtwister Ovi'nax for Discipline Priest

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

2.19.

Damage Pattern

Broodtwister Heroic Damage Patterns

The primary damage on this fight is from a few locations. Volatile Concoction Icon Volatile Concoction deals Raid wide damage when it expires from the tank and happens very often. Attempting to time your ramps to occur when one of these is expiring will be a large gain. Unstable Infusion Icon Unstable Infusion is a heal absorb placed on the entire raid constantly throughout the encounter. As a result, using your ramps basically on cooldown will have huge value in this encounter as there is almost always something to heal. Ingest Black Blood Icon Ingest Black Blood happens 3 times a fight and is a large amount of damage for a short period. It is not, however, worth delaying cooldowns to specifically target Ingest Black Blood due to the general high damage during the entire encounter.

2.20.

What to Ramp for

Ramp for the first Ingest Black Blood Icon Ingest Black Blood and then mostly on cooldown for Volatile Concoction Icon Volatile Concoction and Unstable Infusion Icon Unstable Infusion damage. This fight is mostly near-constant damage.

Damage Pattern

Ky'veza Heroic Damage Patterns

The primary damage on this fight will come from 2 mechanics. Nether Rift Icon Nether Rift does significant raid wide damage while active and the intermission mechanic, Starless Night Icon Starless Night, also does a good amount of damage. Targeting either of those mechanics for ramps will be solid. There is not much complexity damage pattern wise on this fight as it is almost entirely a movement/positioning encounter. Managing your movement and positioning properly will be the most important factor to success.

2.25.

What to Ramp for

Tips for The Silken Court for Discipline Priest

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

2.29.

Damage Pattern

Silken Court Heroic Damage Patterns

This fight is broken up into 3 phases with 2 intermissions between said phase. Each phase has a variety of different mechanics that deal significant damage. In phase 1, Venomous Rain Icon Venomous Rain occurs every so often dealing solid damage to a select number of players. Burrowed Eruption Icon Burrowed Eruption deals a large amount of damage as the boss prepares to charge across the room. This is a very good ramp target. As you transition out of Phase 1, you'll enter the first intermission where Entropic Barrage Icon Entropic Barrage will be the primary damage source until the boss' absorb shield is broken.

Once into phase 2, Web Vortex Icon Web Vortex and Stinging Burst Icon Stinging Burst become the primary sources of damage. Web Vortex is when the boss grips everyone across the room towards the boss and webs them together. This involves a large burst of damage when it occurs. As this involves a large amount of movement from both the pull and the movement afterwards to break your web, it is not an easy mechanic to target with a ramp unless you have access to a Spatial Paradox Icon Spatial Paradox. The other primary mechanic in this phase is Stinging Burst Icon Stinging Burst which occurs whenever a debuff is dispelled. While this can be slightly annoying to time a ramp around due to the player controlled nature of the timing, it is still your best option in Phase 2.

Moving into the next intermission, Seismic Upheaval Icon Seismic Upheaval provides constant damage throughout the phase until the bosses absorb shield is broken. In Phase 3 of the fight, Unleashed Swarm Icon Unleashed Swarm is a large AoE channeled by the boss for a short duration. This is an incredible ramp target.

2.30.

What to Ramp for

Burrowed Eruption Icon Burrowed Eruption, Entropic Barrage Icon Entropic Barrage, Stinging Burst Icon Stinging Burst, Seismic Upheaval Icon Seismic Upheaval, and Unleashed Swarm Icon Unleashed Swarm are your primary ramp targets for this encounter.

Tips for Queen Ansurek for Discipline Priest

Note that it is early days and that this section will be far more fleshed out as the Season progresses and cool tricks and tips are found.

2.34.

Damage Pattern

Ansurek Phase 1 and 2 Heroic Damage Patterns
Ansurek Phase 3 Heroic Damage Patterns

In Phase 1, Ansurek has a variety of damaging mechanics, but the Frothy Toxin Icon Frothy Toxin damage will be the most dangerous. This is a large burst of damage shortly after jumping the Venom Nova Icon Venom Nova. Silken Tomb Icon Silken Tomb can also be quite dangerous and a good Power Word: Barrier Icon Power Word: Barrier target as it expects the raid to stack up fairly tight. After leaving Phase 1, both the small intermission and the platform phase you'll be dealing with the Wrest Icon Wrest mechanic as the Queen attempts to pull you into her or off the platform with her webs. Each time she does so, it deals a significant amount of damage and is a good target for your ramps. On the middle platform there will be a dispel mechanic called Gloom Blast Icon Gloom Blast. This deals a very large amount of damage on dispel and is by far the most dangerous part of the platform phase.

Once entering Phase 3, the primary damage is going to come from three mechanics, Gorge Icon Gorge, Royal Condemnation Icon Royal Condemnation, and Queen's Summons Icon Queen's Summons. Each of these results in a large amount of damage during a fairly high damage phase in general.

2.35.

What to Ramp for

For P1, target ramping for the Frothy Toxin Icon Frothy Toxin explosion. Plan to cast your Power Word: Radiance Icon Power Word: Radiance casts after you land from the Venom Nova Icon Venom Nova jump.

During the Platform phase, you'll ramp for the Predation Threads Icon Predation Threads and Gloom Blast Icon Gloom Blast. The exact timers for these depends on the group you are in as the boss alternates pulling each side.

In the final phase, your primary ramps will be focused on the Gorge Icon Gorge casts, but mini/Rapture Icon Rapture ramps can be focused on Royal Condemnation Icon Royal Condemnation or Queen's Summons Icon Queen's Summons as well.
