Lore

Taloc is the first boss encountered in Uldir.

The titan keepers enacted countless systems to detect and contain any breach from the facility. Their most powerful construct, Taloc, kept watch for any signs of corruption in the region and ruthlessly excised any that he found. But as thousands of years passed, its internal defenses began to decay, making it vulnerable to corruption.

3.

Outline

Taloc is a three-phase encounter in which the raid will need to manage dropping area denial effects in a clean and organized fashion. The fight is also punctuated by an elevator segment, in which the encounter platform descends through a series of laser beams which must be dodged. Organization and communication are integral to surviving this encounter.

TL;DR

4.1.

Tanks

  • At 100 Energy, the active tank must be sure to aim Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore at large patches of Blood Storm Icon Blood Storm to soak them up.
  • Once the Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore cast is complete, use any movement speed abilities available to run from the area.
  • When the boss reaches 35%, be sure to tank the Coalesced Bloods that begin to spawn.
  • When off tanking, run over Volatile Droplets to prevent them from hitting your raid.
4.2.

Healers

  • Be sure to have raid healing spells ready for Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore.
  • Pay extra attention to players afflicted with Plasma Discharge Icon Plasma Discharge.
4.3.

DPS

  • When Taloc reaches 35% Health, he will take 99% reduced damage and begin the Transition Phase. This lasts about 90 seconds, so plan cooldowns accordingly.
4.4.

Everyone

  • Drop Blood Storm Icon Blood Storm as close together as possible.
  • Be at least 30 yards away from Taloc when he casts Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore.
  • Aim your camera down the elevator shaft during the Transition Phase to avoid Uldir Defensive Beam Icon Uldir Defensive Beams.
  • When Taloc turns to face the raid and casts Sanguine Static Icon Sanguine Static be ready to dodge out of the way.
4.5.

Positioning

  • Assign a spot in the room to drop Blood Storm Icon Blood Storm and have the raid spread loosely near that area.
  • Have Taloc tanked in the center of the room.
  • When Taloc begins casting Cudgel of Gore Icon Cudgel of Gore, have the active tank run to the Blood Storm Icon Blood Storm pile, while the raid runs away from the active tank.
  • During the Transition Phase, have the ranged positioned near the edge of the platform in order to call/mark safe spots for the melee and tanks.
  • At the bottom of the elevator have the raid loosely spread, and drop Blood Storm near the edges of the room, slowly shifting the raid clockwise or counterclockwise.
5.

Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp

We advise you to use Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust/Heroism Icon Heroism/Time Warp Icon Time Warp when the elevator reaches the bottom of the shaft in the Transition Phase. This will allow the DPS to clear out any remaining adds from the previous phase, and will give the healers a nice buffer to ease the somewhat chaotic transition.
