Quick TipsGeneral

Tanks, taunt Фа'туул Устрашающий off of one another when your Скобление разума stacks drop.

A single ranged DPS needs to tank Глашатай Заъксаш by using the Афотический взрыв!

Avoid standing within the Сокрушение Бездной zones during periods of high incoming raid damage.

Have a single player stand within a Сокрушение Бездной zone to soak it, preventing it from bouncing around further.

Move away from the raid to reduce the damage you deal to them when Тяжелые сомнения expires.

Do not stand near the player targeted by the Афотический взрыв

Move out of the Захват рассудка cone.

Do not attack players who are "hostile to allies" - they are not mind controlled!

Gain Обещание силы by standing near the Глашатай тьмы afflicted player. Make sure not to have high stacks when incoming damage happens!

Let through the Узрите погибель casts in a staggered fashion by interrupting the Зловещее чудовище adds.

Keep damaging the Видение из-за грани to prevent it from casting Ужасающее эхо.

Relics

Void Stone - Quickly damage through and remove the Темный панцирь to allow the raid to receive healing once again.

Trident of Deep Ocean - Stack enemies within the shield and damage them to destroy the shield.

Tempest Caller - Keep everyone above 25% health to prevent them from being hit by Annihilation.

The Restless Cabal Abilities & Strategy

Players leaving the platform will be afflicted with Окутывающая тьма which deals heavy ticking damage and applies a 99% damage and healing done reduction for 30 seconds.

At no point in the encounter should players leave the platform and gain this debuff.

Глашатай ЗаъксашФа'туул Устрашающий

These bosses do not share a health pool and when a boss reaches 1 hp they will cast Пакт неусыпных.

This cast prevents the bosses death and will heal them to 20% hp upon completion. The spell is interrupted when both bosses are bought to 1 hp.

This forces the raid to get both bosses to the 1 hp mark within the 20 second cast time of the Пакт неусыпных, as otherwise the heal will likely cause the raid to fall far behind and wipe.

Фа'туул УстрашающийСокрушение БезднойСкобление разумаФа'туул УстрашающийСкобление разума

Tanks should taunt off of one another each time their Скобление разума stacks drop, which is usually around the 3-4 stack mark.

Both tanks should focus their efforts into positioning and maintaining threat on Фа'туул Устрашающий, as Глашатай Заъксаш is tanked and dealt with by a ranged DPS.

Сокрушение БезднойСокрушение Бездной

After a few moments this area will explode, dealing damage to all players within 10 yards.

If no players are hit, a new smaller area will be marked and the ability will repeat. This size reduction also reduces the damage the Сокрушение Бездной deals.

The Сокрушение Бездной will "bounce" like this and reduce in size twice, at which point it will bounce around until the ability eventually hits somebody.

Players need to actively avoid getting hit by the Сокрушение Бездной until it has reduced to its smallest size.

When raid damage is low, a single player should stand within the Сокрушение Бездной as to remove it, which will increase raid damage as casters are able to stand still for longer periods of time.

Тяжелые сомненияТяжелые сомнения

This 12 second debuff slows movement speeds by 25% and deals ever increasing damage every 2 seconds.

Upon expiration, the debuff explodes, dealing raid wide damage which is reduced the further players are from the debuff.

Players afflicted with Тяжелые сомнения should move away from the raid and towards the sides of the encounter space, whilst the majority of the raid spreads loosely around the middle.

They must make sure that they do not run near the player who is tanking Глашатай Заъксаш at the time, as they also may be near the edges of the encounter space.

Move away from the raid whenafflicted with Тяжелые сомнения! Глашатай ЗаъксашАфотический взрывГлашатай ЗаъксашАфотический взрыв

This deals a burst of shadow damage to the target and anyone within 5 yards. This damage is reduced the further the target is from Глашатай Заъксаш.

The bolt also applies a debuff which increases threat generation by 150% for 30 seconds. This debuff is refreshed each time the Афотический взрыв hits the player.

Афотический взрывГлашатай Заъксаш

All players should avoid dealing damage the Глашатай Заъксаш at the beginning of the encounter, as to allow this ranged DPS tank to get some initial threat.

Once the player has sufficient threat on the boss (usually around 10 seconds into the encounter), players should feel free to deal damage to this boss.

Tanks should avoid ripping threat from Глашатай Заъксаш at all times, as the Афотический взрыв threat generation debuff will make it difficult for the ranged player to rip threat back off of them.

Афотический взрывГлашатай Заъксаш

A healer must be prepared to cover this ranged tank during this time, as the ranged tank will likely move far out of range of the raid.

Once Глашатай Заъксаш is in the desired position, the ranged tank should attempt to move slightly closer to the raid, as to allow the healer to maintain range on them without a large amount of disruption to their positioning.

That being said, the ranged DPS tank should always avoid standing within 5 yards of any other player, as to prevent the Афотический взрыв debuff from splashing onto anyone else.

Захват рассудкаГлашатай ЗаъксашЗахват рассудка

After the 6 second cast, all players within the cone will take a moderate burst of shadow damage and become hostile to allies for 4 seconds.

All players should side step out of this cone, which is easily done as long as they are paying attention.

Move out of the Захват рассудка frontal cone.

Players who are "hostile to allies" can attack other players with their spells as well as be attacked by other players. Healers are also unable to heal them whilst the debuff holds.

Players who are accidentally hit by this should be left alone. Do not throw out damaging spells or crowd control their way, instead just leave them and wait for the debuff to expire.

Глашатай тьмыГлашатай тьмыОбещание силыГлашатай тьмы

This 10 second debuff will apply Обещание силы debuffs to all players within 5 yards every 5 seconds.

Обещание силы is a magic debuff with an endless duration. It increases the damage you deal by 10% whilst reducing your maximum health by 10%.

This debuff increases passively over time, eventually capping out at 9 stacks (reducing health by 90% and increasing damage by 90%).

This debuff can be dispelled at any time. However on heroic, dispelling the debuff will deal damage to the dispeller.

Глашатай тьмы

Although the damage bonus is very powerful, the reduction to the players health pool could lead to them being one shot by unavoidable mechanics, such as the Тяжелые сомнения debuffs.

The raid needs to be prepared to remove all Обещание силы debuffs before these damage sources come in, as to ensure nobody is one shot.

When the Обещание силы debuff is dispelled, the players will maintain the same health percentage (If you have 90% health and then the debuff is dispelled, you will still have 90% health).

Обещание силыГлашатай тьмы

These few DPS can use the large damage increase to great effect, before having it removed before an unavoidable damage source comes in.

By limiting the amount of players who receive the Обещание силы debuffs, it helps healers ensure that all players are dispelled at the correct time.

Groups with priests may wish to increase the amount of people who take the damage buff, as they are able to use Mass Dispels to remove the debuff off of multiple players at once.

Tanks, the ranged DPS tank and healers should avoid gaining this buff, as the health reduction is likely to cause more problems than the damage buff is worth.

Relics of PowerRelic of Power

There are three relics in the encounter space. Each relic has a powerful effect when activated that the raid will need to counter.

The raid gets to choose the order in which the relics are activated, simply by positioning the bosses closest to the relic they wish to activate next.

Each relic should only be used by each boss once, because if an individual boss uses a particular relic more than once they will gain a 300% damage increase buff: Переполняющая мощь.

When a boss activates a Relic for the first time, they will gain a permanent 10% damage buff. These buffs stack up, meaning that the boss will be dealing 30% extra damage after activating all three relics.

Void StoneТемный панцирь

This is a large damage absorption shield which reduces the healing all raid members receive by 100% whilst it holds via Объятия Бездны.

DPS must focus their damage into the boss with Темный панцирь as to allow the raid to receive healing once again.

Healers should ensure that all players are healthy before the Темный панцирь activates, whilst tanks use defensive cooldowns to survive during this time.

If the raid is struggling to remove the Темный панцирь within a reasonable time, the group might want to use the Обещание силы debuffs to increase their outgoing damage.

Trident of Deep OceanОпека глубин

This shield has a health pool which can be seen in the boss frames. Any enemy within the shield will have 75% of the damage they take redirected to the shield.

The shield will explode after 20 seconds, dealing damage equal to its remaining health to all players in the raid via Глубинный взрыв. If the shield is destroyed before this time, it will dissipate harmlessly.

Tanks should position as many enemies underneath the shield as possible, as to increase the amount of damage the shield will take.

Just like the Void Stone, the raid may want to utilise the Обещание силы debuffs to help damage through the shield if they are unable to destroy the shield before it explodes.

Damage enemies within the shield to destroy it before it explodes!Tempest Caller

This Шторм аннигиляции damage reduces the damage players deal by 50% for 3 seconds and will instantly kill any player who is lower than 25% health when it deals damage to them via Аннигиляция.

All players should remove their Обещание силы debuffs before activating the Tempest Caller relic.

This is the most healing intensive part of the encounter, so healers should be prepared to cover this incoming damage with cooldowns.

Players may also want to use their own personal damage reduction cooldowns to ensure they do not drop below 25% health.

Groups with confident healers may wish to activate two Tempest Caller relics back to back at the beginning of the fight, as the bosses will not have any damage increasing buffs at this point and the damage is manageable if healers coordinate their cooldowns correctly.

That being said, raids with less powerful healers or PUGs may wish to avoid activating the Tempest Caller relics back to back, as they may be unable to out-heal the damage.

As long as the group never has a boss activate the same relic twice, and as long as the bosses do not activate relics at the same time, the relics can be done in pretty much any order.

That being said, a decent order for your group to start out with can be found below, as this one ensures that the bosses stay close together for cleave, whilst also keeping the two Tempest Caller activations far apart to allow for healing cooldowns to be ready once again.

Organised raid groups with confident healers may wish to have both Tempest Callers relics triggered at the beginning of the encounter as to keep the damage they deal to a minimum.

Зловещее откровение and Видение из-за граниRelic of PowerУзрите погибельФа'туул УстрашающийЗловещее откровениеЗловещее чудовище

Each add will cast Узрите погибель, a 9 second cast which will cause the add to die and deal moderate shadow damage to the raid.

Although the raid could survive three Узрите погибель explosions at once in theory, it is likely to kill off a player or two.

The Зловещее чудовище adds should be interrupted in such a way as to let the Узрите погибель casts through in a staggered way.
This should be done by having one add not be interrupted at all, the next add should be interrupted once, and the last add should be interrupted twice.

This will stagger the Узрите погибель casts 8-9 seconds apart, allowing healers to top up the raid between each hit.

During the Шторм аннигиляции, the raid may wish to interrupt all adds until the spell has ended, as the Узрите погибель might drop players below 25% health.

Глашатай ЗаъксашВидение из-за грани

This add casts Ужасающее эхо, which will deal a burst of damage and fear all players for 6 seconds if the 15 second long cast goes through.

The only way the cast can be interrupted is by bring the add to 1 hp.

Once at 1 hp, the add will regenerate health at an ever increasing rate via Сгущение Бездны.

Once it reaches 100% health, it will begin to cast Ужасающее эхо once again. The add will despawn after 1 minute.

Ужасающее эхо

As the add cannot be moved in any way, the raid will need to return to this add each time it reaches 100% health.

The add can take damage whilst regenerating, so players who can passively cleave/multi-dot the add should do so as to keep the add regenerating for longer periods of time.

Heroic ChangesАфотический взрывАдепт погибели

This debuff permanently makes the player "hostile to allies" whilst reducing all incoming healing by 75%.

Gaining the Адепт погибели debuff is highly likely to lead to the players death, as they will not be able to be assisted by healers.

This additional mechanic acts as a larger punishment if the Афотический взрыв ability is mishandled, especially if it ever hits multiple players at once.

As long as only one person has threat on Глашатай Заъксаш throughout the encounter, the Адепт погибели debuff will never be applied.

Обещание силыКрушение

This prevents players from using abilities such as Mass Dispel and Revival to remove a large amount of Обещание силы debuffs at once.

The raid must be careful not to apply Обещание силы debuffs to too many members, as otherwise healers and priests will not be able to remove them all at the correct time without taking substantial damage themselves.

Узрите погибель

If a Узрите погибель cast goes through whilst the raid has the debuff a previous cast has left behind, it will likely kill multiple players.

This additional mechanic acts as a punishment for players not interrupting the adds correctly, and this forces players to stagger the rate in which the three Зловещее чудовище adds are interrupted.

Видение из-за грани

This makes the raid to deal with the add for a longer period of time, potentially forcing them to kill the add an additional time to interrupt the Ужасающее эхо.

Ranged DPS must be ready to switch to this add the minute it begins to cast again, as the damage and disruptive effect from the fear can easily cause wipes on heroic difficulty.

Mythic ChangesАдепт погибелиАдепт погибели

If you somehow managed to find a way to survive with a 75% healing reduction on heroic, you most likely wont be able to survive with a 100% healing reduction on mythic.

This change is to further punish raid groups who do not handle the Афотический взрыв correctly.

Just like heroic, a single ranged DPS should tank the Speaker throughout the encounter, with Balance Druids being a great pick as they have several strong defensive abilities.

Незавершенная формаЗловещее чудовищеНезавершенная форма

This is passive is added to the encounter to prevent guilds from permanently interrupting the Зловещее чудовище adds throughout the entire encounter with complicated interrupt rotations.

Additionally, the Узрите погибель cast is now 6 seconds long and also increases damage taken by subsequent casts by 500% for 7 seconds, up from 100% for 6 seconds.

The adds cannot be stunned or blanket silenced, making the adds recast the second they are interrupted.

Узрите погибель

This requires 2 interrupts between each successful Узрите погибель cast, rather than just the one that raid groups could use on heroic.

During the Void Stone and Tempest Caller relics, all three adds are usually interrupted one additional time as to allow the Темный панцирь to be broken or to give time for healers to prepare for the combination of Узрите погибель and Шторм аннигиляции damage. Doing this requires one additional interrupt per add.

Interrupts required for the different Relics of Power!Ужасающее эхо

Players need to focus damage into these adds as soon as possible as to prevent their shorter Ужасающее эхо cast from going off, and may need to kill them up to two times before they despawn.

Once they have been defeated for the first time, the bosses should generally be tanked on top of the adds as to allow DPS to passively cleave them down, reducing the chance that they will need to defeat them more than one additional time.

The tanks must be ready to move the bosses over towards the next relic if they are due to empower within the next 5% of their maximum health.

If a Visage from Beyond is due to reform and complete its cast during a relic empowerment, players should adjust their damage so that these events do not overlap.

Relic of PowerVoid StoneСущность Бездны

This essence will pull in all players towards the Void Stone. This effect is stronger for each new Сущность Бездны created, but the strength of the Сущность Бездны will reset once the Void Stone is reactivated.

Once the 10 seconds have passed, the Сущность Бездны despawn. This happens every 40 seconds.

Players should actively move against the pull in effect from the Сущность Бездны, as otherwise they will become stacked up and find it difficult to spread out until the effect has ended. During this time they may be targeted by a Void Crash which could prove fatal.

Trident of Deep OceanСущность океанаСущность океанаTrident of Deep Ocean

Players who come into contact with the Сущность океана will be stunned for 8 seconds, which could easily lead to a death as they will be unable to move from other mechanics.

The Сущность океана will appear as orbs near to, or at the location of players. This attack is telegraphed via a swirly circle moments before the orb appears.

The raid should attempt to bait the Сущность океана away from Relics that they haven't done yet, as they will want that space to be as clear as possible when they do get to them.

The raid should also avoid standing towards the middle of the room as to keep paths towards the Зловещее чудовище relatively free. This space should only be occupied when the adds are present and need to be interrupted.

The Сущность океанаs can be cleared from the encounter by having somebody run into it with an immunity such as: Aspect of the Turtle, Divine Shield or Anti-Magic Shell.

A good time to clear is completely based on how well the essences have been placed, but it is generally beneficial to do so just before a set of Зловещее чудовище adds spawn.

Avoid the Сущность океана orbs! Tempest CallerСущность буриTempest Caller

Сущность бури will deal damage to the nearest player every 2 seconds and each attack will deal 10% more damage than the last via the application of an 8 second debuff.

If the Сущность бури brings a player below 25% health, the player will instantly die via the Аннигиляция spell.

The raid will need to set up a rotation of players to take turns soaking a Сущность бури with a rotation of two players per essence spawned. These players should switch on the 3-4 stack mark.

Zaxasj: Trident of the Deep Ocean

Fa'thuul: Trident of the Deep Ocean

Zaxasj: Void Stone

Fa'thuul: Void Stone

Fa'thuul: Tempest Caller

Zaxasj: Tempest Caller

Trident of Deep OceanVoid StoneTempest Caller

This is to keep the amount of Сущность бури to a minimum, as they reduce the amount of Обещание силы debuffs the raid can have active throughout the fight.

Обещание силыОбещание силы

Players have 9 stacks and the Тяжелые сомнения debuffs are due to expire.

Most classes cannot survive the two Тяжелые сомнения hits whilst maintaining 9 stacks of Обещание силы, however some can with immunities or large damage reductions such as Слияние с Тьмой, or a large amount of shields.
Players have 6+ stacks and are afflicted with Тяжелые сомнения.
The ticking damage of the Тяжелые сомнения debuff can be enough to kill somebody who has high stacks of Promises, and therefore should be dispelled. Once again, large damage reductions or a large amount of shields can allow the player to survive.
Eldritch Abominations are active and due to cast Узрите погибель.
Although a player may be able to survive a single hit of Узрите погибель with high stacks, they are highly unlikely to have enough cooldowns to survive the additional two hits. The entire raid should remove all Promises of Power debuffs when the Eldritch Abominations appear.
The Tempest Caller relic is about to be activated.
Players will already be dealing 50% less damage during this relic, so not having the 90% damage increase at this point isn't a big deal.
Additionally, the lower health pool of the player makes it extremely likely that they die to Аннигиляция.

Several classes are able to keep themselves alive when the Crushing Doubts expire and they have 9 stacks - notably Shadow Priests with Dispersion (or shields applied via Power Word: Shield, Sanctum and Death Denied), Warlocks with a mixture of shields from other sources and Dark Pact/Unending Resolve, and classes with immunities (such as Demon Hunters and Hunters).

The only time this is different is when dealing with the Зловещее чудовище, in which all players who cannot survive a 9 stack Crushing Doubt explosion should wait for all 3 adds to explode, where those who can survive can grab the Promises of Power slightly earlier - when one Зловещее чудовище remains.

Crushing Doubt is a key mechanical obstacle that the raid must deal with throughout the fight. It will cause a fair amount of wipes as you get timings and cooldowns in a good position, mainly due to the high amount of Promises of Power debuffs needed to beat the enrage timer.

Crushing Doubt will always pick ranged targets over melee targets. These ranged targets should attempt to move 25-30 yards away from the raid and each other to let the debuff expire.

It is important that the afflicted targets do not move too far away from their healers, as otherwise they will likely die solely to the debuff.

Horde players should be aware that Troll players will have their debuff expire quicker, as its duration is affected by the Voodoo Shuffle racial.

Having the Crushing Doubt overlap with the Зловещее чудовище adds exploding works well, as long as adequate cooldowns have be assigned to cover both sources of damage.

Additionally, having a set of Crushing Doubts overlap with a Tempest Caller activation from the Speaker can work well if healers are confident that they can cover the damage.

This isn't possible for every single Crushing Doubt, but aligning these events by damaging the bosses down to their relic activation health thresholds will make your progress easier on this fight.

As the time in which these overlaps occur relies entirely on the damage output of your individual raid, trying to make these overlaps occur will be entirely down to your raid composition and performance.

Shortly afterwards, the raid will have a set of Crushing Doubts expire. All debuffed players will be around 4-5 stacks at this point.

Nobody should be dispelled at this point. Instead, the raid should survive, pop Bloodlust and use all damage cooldowns as this will gain the most damage from the spell.

This is largely because there isn't any active relic essences present at the beginning of the encounter, allowing players to stand relatively still and plough damage into the bosses.

A player with 9 stacks of Promises of Power will likely be one shot if they soak a Void Crash, even if it has bounced twice and is at it's smallest size.

As a large portion of the raid should have a high up-time on the Promises of Power debuff, the Void Crash should be deliberately soaked by Tanks, Healers or anyone without Promises of Power at the time.

Players should avoid using large damage reductions or long cooldown defensive abilities to soak the Void Crash, as these are better served to survive Crushing Doubt explosions when high Promises of Power stacks are present.

spreading out the tempest callers is completely unnecessary on heroic. The damage is not that bad.

What made this boss a joke for us is just doing each relic twice in a row. We started on Trident

Speaker -> 75% first trident.
He spawns his sole add right next to trident and we cleave/dot to get the add to 1hp while still damaging the Tridentbubble

Then we do big guy to 75% and do the trident a 2nd time. This makes the add the Speaker spawned a joke mechanic because he's staying next to the Trident the entire time we're doing both bubbles, so by the time the trident mechanic is done the 2nd time, the original Speaker ad will despawn

Just rinse and repeat to the other 2 relics, making sure the Speaker activates the relic first. This completely trivializes the speaker's ad.

Back to back tempest callers is nothing. It's not crazy raidwide AOE. Maybe on mythic this won't be viable but it's completely and unnecessarily complicated to do one boss -> one relic, then the 2nd boss -> different relic like this guide suggests.

This boss feels way undertuned

also "Although the raid could survive three Witness the End explosions at once in theory, it is likely to kill off a player or two." Just no. The 2nd and 3rd explosions will do like 700k each, it will kill everyone but pallies and mages

Комментарий от Rekiel

Ужасающее эхо casting time is now 20 sec. Therefore you don't have to nuke the add down, on either difficulties. On normal difficulty, if you push hard to delay the second cast, then it could be just ignored, it is hard to track 40 sec from spawning, but, well, you might have a good heuristics.

On heroic difficulty, you can ignore the second cast using totem Тотем трепета , and it will be gone before it finishes the third echo. Tremor works!

In our group, we did double tempest, double stone and then double trident. We did not want to gain 10% to 20% more damage from the storm, and the trident is the least threatening skill.

Usually raid groups have 4~6 CDs to deal with massive raid-wise damage, so just use 3+ cooldowns for the Fa'thuul's storm and use another 1 or 2 for the next. You might also save couple of damage smoothing spells or externals for the void stone, in order to let the ranged DPS tanking Zaxasj be alive.
