Shadow Priest DPS Manaforge Omega Raid Guide — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

This build is aimed at maximizing pure single target damage. We choose to drop Psychic Link for the minor gain in damage we get from Descending Darkness. If the fight ever has any adds opt to play the Cleave build instead.

• Plexus Sentinel
• Fractillus

This is one of several bosses in the raid where you get to use your Extra Action Button to active a Reshii Wraps mechanic. Use this macro to bind that ability.

The following is Mythic footage recorded before Pre-Patch. The exact rotation will be different but the positioning and the mechanics remain the same. Certain mechanics might not exist on other difficulties.

• Watch for the countdown of Obliteration Arcanocannon going off on the tank. You want to use Fade for each of these.
• In case of emergencies you can use Dispersion to bypass the wall without dying if you cloak ability is still on cooldown.

• After each intermission the boss has a shield active that needs to be broken. This is where Shadow Word: Death with Devour Matter comes in handy, be sure to prioritize this ability.
• This boss has awkward timings for us, you typically want to delay you cooldowns and only use them when you are fighting the boss, not as you are running and killing adds in the intermission.

• Be sure to pre-position yourself so that if you get Manifest Matrices you do not have to move far.
• When using your Reshii Wraps to phase through the wall be sure to have your character facing the direction you want to go, not your camera.

• When fighting the adds in the intermission try and position yourself so you can hit a set of adds and the boss at the same time. This way you can cleave off the boss.

The following is Mythic footage recorded before Pre-Patch. The exact rotation will be different but the positioning and the mechanics remain the same. Certain mechanics might not exist on other difficulties.

• If you are ever targeted with Infusion Tether you should immediately pop Fade and focus the adds down if they are alive. As soon as you can get through run to the edge of the room to break the tether, I found Dispersion to be helpful for this. You can also use Spatial Rift to easily break out as a Void Elf.
• If you are assigned to soak an Infusion Pylon you might consider using a Flash Heal or Fade to mitigate incoming damage. Use Desperate Prayer as your stacks get high. Ideally once you hit 8-10 stacks you should let your other raid member take over soaking.

• Your priority during this encounter should be to kill adds as soon as possible. Be sure to keep Vampiric Touch active on all adds and the boss. I found that using 1 charge of Tentacle Slam per add spawn is the easiest on Mythic difficulty.
• Once the boss hits 50% health they will take 25% increased damage. Ideally this is when most groups will use Bloodlust so be sure to save your cooldowns for this.

• There are no mechanical tips for this boss.

• On mythic two adds will spawn instead of one. I opted to focus the outside add first while still keeping Vampiric Touch active on the inner add and the boss for optimal cleave. You should have 2 charges of Tentacle Slam for each set.

• There are no defensive tips for this boss.

• Whenever adds are broken out with Soulfray Annihilation they will take 200% increased damage. You should always target these adds directly to cleave onto other adds or the boss to maximize Psychic Link damage.

• There are no specific tips for this boss on Mythic difficulty.

The following is Mythic footage recorded before Pre-Patch. The exact rotation will be different but the positioning and the mechanics remain the same. Certain mechanics might not exist on other difficulties.

• Be sure to use at least Fade for each cast of Arcane Expulsion before the intermission phases.

• Avoid using Tentacle Slam for re-dotting just a single target if possible.
• Be sure to cast Vampiric Touch on the Shielded Attendants that spawn during the intermission and maintain this until they die. While their shield is active you should cast Shadow Word: Death when talented into Devour Matter as a Voidweaver.
• After the intermission ends the boss will go into Mana Splinter phase where he takes double damage. This only lasts for 12 seconds so be sure to have your damage ready in time to make the most of this window. Usually we need to use our abilities on cooldown so you might not have much for this phase, but can at least bank up Surge of Insanity procs a bit.

• Note that while the Collectors are active in phase 1 they take 99% reduced damage and therefore there is no reason to keep DoTs active until you phase into the intermission.
• Depending on the strategy your group is using you might need to main target the Arcane Echo when it is active. On certain strategies you leave this add up and just cleave it down with Psychic Link so be sure to coordinate with your raid which you should focus. Either way make sure Vampiric Touch is always active on the add and the boss.
• During the intermission you can position yourself towards the back-middle of the room to DPS all Arcane Collectors at once with Psychic Link. The ideal position is on the console side of the middle pillar to be in range of everything. The goal is to kill these all within the same time so target swap to the one that has the highest health. Use Tentacle Slam to refresh or apply DoTs to the collector that has the adds near it to save GCDs manualy DoTing.

• Be sure to use all main cooldowns on cooldown ASAP. The timings on this encounter are very tight but if you use everything right away you should get good line ups.

• Be sure to roughly keep their health even, you want them to die close to each other.

• On Mythic, Ilyssa will cast Sigil of Chains that will apply a slow effect to you for 6 seconds. This is a great time to make sure you have Fade available so that we can purge it with the Phantasm talent.

• While both bosses are active be sure to focus Voidwing and cleave onto the boss.
• Shortly after you finish the platforms you will jump into the second intermission where Voidwing will take double damage. Be sure to have full cooldowns available for this damage amp.

• During the intermission when you are on the platforms be sure to focus target the Manaforged Titan. Your next priority is the Nexus-Prince.

• During the intermission the Nexus-Prince adds are shielded, which is a good opportunity to make sure you are using Shadow Word: Death to take advantage of Devour Matter as a Voidweaver.
