Tips
- This fight has multiple adds and bosses so you want to make sure you apply
Virulent Plague to all targets. - If the other boss or adds are close to
your main target, you want to cast
Death and Decay to maximize your
cleave. - Be careful of your cleave when there are players afflicted by
Cerebral Assault to stop yourself dealing too much damage.
Due to the continuous 3 target cleave this fight offers, using 
Epidemic
over 
Death Coil is recommended when 3 targets are stacked up. This happens
when there is a Visage from Beyond stacked on the 2 bosses.
