Quick TLDR Guide

1.1.

Boss Phase:

  • If you are targeted by Rolling Acid Icon Rolling Acid, pay attention to which side it is on. If it is on your left, move left. If it is on your right, move right. Keep the middle clear.
  • Avoid being hit by Rolling Acid Icon Rolling Acid by standing between them.
  • Run away with Spinneret's Strands Icon Spinneret's Strands and break your link web.
  • Healers: Players snapping Spinneret's Strands Icon Spinneret's Strands triggers Spinneret's Websnap Icon Spinneret's Websnap dealing raid wide damage.
  • Be close to the boss before Infested Spawn so that the raid can AoE the adds down.
  • Tanks: Swap after each cast of Savage Assault Icon Savage Assault.
  • Healers: Erosive Spray Icon Erosive Spray will deal a very large amount of damage to the raid. Prepare to use cooldowns for this.
1.2.

1.3.

Boss Phase:

  • Rolling Acid Icon Rolling Acid
    • If you've done the Dawnbreaker dungeon, you will be familiar with this mechanic. Two players will be marked with this mechanic.
    • If the wave is on your left, it will roll left and vice versa for right.
    • Your aim is to keep the space between the waves clear so the raid is not hit by the wave.
    • When this wave hits a Sticky Webs Icon Sticky Webs it will turn into an Acid Pools Icon Acid Pools.
  • Spinneret's Strands Icon Spinneret's Strands
    • Several players are targeted by this ability. They will have radius circles around them. These players should run away from the raid.
    • These players are then tethered to their webs and take ticking damage from the tether.
    • Moving out of the radius of the web will snap the tether and trigger Spinneret's Websnap Icon Spinneret's Websnap dealing raid wide damage
  • Infested Spawn
    • Players in the raid are targeted by this ability and should group up in melee range. Shortly after being targeted, adds will spawn.
    • Being in melee range means that players in the raid can AoE these down easier.
  • Tanks: Savage Assault Icon Savage Assault
    • This tank mechanic deals both physical and nature damage. 90% of unmitigated damage (damage done to your health pool) is then applied to you again as a DoT.
    • This is a good time to use defensive cooldowns and external cooldowns from healers to reduce the amount of unmitigated damage taken.
    • Tanks will be swapping after each hit of Savage Assault Icon Savage Assault to prevent Savage Wound Icon Savage Wound from becoming unmanageable.
1.4.

Heroic Changes:

  • All players in range of Spinneret's Strands Icon Spinneret's Strands are tethered to the web.
  • Infested Spawn will deal AoE damage when they spawn.
1.5.

Intermission:

  • Rashanan will fly away to another place on the platform, which indicates the start of the intermission.
  • During this phase, you must be mindful of Acid Pools Icon Acid Poolss and Sticky Webs Icon Sticky Webss as they will be in your way.
  • Once reaching the destination, Rashanan will cast Acidic Eruption Icon Acidic Eruption. This must be interrupted as soon as possible; any ticks will deal increasing amounts of raid wide damage.
  • Once this has been interrupted, Rashanan will fly away again and cast Acidic Eruption Icon Acidic Eruption.
  • After you interrupt Rashanan for the third time, this phase will be over.
1.6.

Heroic Changes:

  • When Rashanan goes back into the Main Phase, they will cast Web Reave Icon Web Reave. This ability will target one player and attempt to pull them off the platform.
  • If Web Reave Icon Web Reave does not hit 4 players, the entire raid will be dragged off the platform. Have your raid soak this slightly out of melee range to be safe from the ability.
2.

Mythic Strategy

Currently, this tab will only contain information on what changes on Mythic. A more robust strategy will be added after the raid goes live.

1.7.

Mythic Changes:

  • All players in range of Spinneret's Strands Icon Spinneret's Strands are bound to the web.
  • Snapping a web will trigger damage to all players in the area, meaning that these webs must be placed far away from the raid.
