The Nokhud Offensive Mythic+ Dungeon Guide

Throughout the fight, 1 of the 3 Dragonkiller Lance weapons will begin to reload, becoming usable by players when complete to deal 5% of the bosses health in damage, stun the boss for 5s, and reset his phase timers. I recommend having the healer run over to these and use them when ready.

Nokhud Saboteurs will spawn across from the reloading lance and attempt to Dismantle them, use stuns, slows, and knockbacks to prevent them from reaching the lance and allow you to cleave them down with the boss, or use a long term CC like polymorph and imprison to keep mobs CC’d indefinitely.

On higher tyrannical keys use a defensive for each Shards of Stone cast to survive, but usually being full health is enough. Also be sure to run out of the Tectonic Stomp AoE.

Every ~30s the boss will begin to cast Eruption, dealing lethal damage to the group if successful. Hitting the boss with a Dragonkiller Lance will stop this cast, but as mentioned above you don’t actually need to wait for this cast to start, as just stunning the boss with the lance will reset his entire phase timer, so just use those on CD as that will also reduce your damage intake by interrupting some Shards of Stone casts.

This boss is stationary, dealing heavy nature damage to anyone who steps beneath it and casting Wind Burst on the tank if they step out of melee range, so try your best to stay close and avoid this extra damage intake. Occasionally the boss will gain the Energy Surge buff, use a purge to remove this effect, or if you don’t have one just make sure the tank has some sort of defensive running.

At 100 energy the boss will begin to channel Electrical Storm, dealing heavy party damage for the duration. Be sure to stagger your defensives and healing CDs to allow you to survive this phase.

Throughout the fight several orbs of Uncontrollable Energy will spawn around the room. Soaking them deals a small nature hit and provides a 5% damage and healing increase for 20s, which stacks up to 10. At the same time, if any orb reaches the boss it’ll do a hit of raid damage and give the boss a 5% damage increase for 1min, so you want to avoid this. Ideally you want to get to max stacks and then maintain your stacks for the duration of the fight. Note that none of these will spawn while the boss is channeling Electrical Storm, so you want to soak an orb as late as possible in this phase to allow you to maintain your buff.

Lightning Strike forms a 15yd circle around every player, dealing a big hit and causing any orbs hit to be destroyed via Electrical Overload. Spread out around the boss to avoid cleaving these circles, and if possible try to soak orbs instead of destroying them, though don’t risk overlapping an ally in the process.

Teera can’t be tanked and will intermittently use Spirit Leap to jump to a different spot. Tanks pick up Maruuk, be sure to have a defensive up for the Brutalize cast, and then just drag him around with Teera to maximize cleave damage.

Teera’s Quick Shot deals damage to a random player, on it’s own this isn’t too scary but it can be extremely dangerous if it overlaps with any other source of damage, or if it picks you multiple times in a row, so watch your health and use potions or defensives as needed.

Occasionally she will use Repel, knock players away from Maruuk, then channel Guardian Wind to constantly push them back, so interrupt this spell as quick as you can.

When Teera reaches 100 energy she will shoot a Gale Arrow at everyone but the tank, use a defensive for this and try to stack as a group so that the tornados are easier to dodge. You can also opt to have 2 stacks, 1 for ranged and 1 for melee, if that's easier. Also keep in mind these tornados will also return to their original location, so watch out for that too.

Avoid the Maruuk’s Frightful Roar AoE, and use a magic dispel to remove the fear if someone gets hit.

When Maruuk reaches 100 energy he will channel Earthsplitter, aiming 3 waves of lethal swirlies at 2 players at a time, leaving behind Aftershock puddles for a short duration, so be sure to avoid these hits. This again can be easier to dodge if your group is stacked, or at least lined up, then rotates in the same direction as swirlies are fired.

From 100% to 60% health the boss is unempowered, dealing physical damage with his attacks.

Iron Spear targets a random player, dealing splash damage to them, followed by the boss charging at their location with Iron Stampede. Use a defensive if needed and avoid the charge attack. This is quite easy if you play near the large rock on the south side of the boss arena, as this counts as terrain and will stop the charge attack if you run behind it with the spear.

Upheaval frontals at a random player, also applying Quake to each party member. Loosely spread to avoid cleaving each other and avoid the frontal.

Rending Strike targets the tank, applying a 10s bleed that also increases the damage taken by Savage Strike by 500%, which follows shortly after. Make sure you have a defensive up for this 2nd hit.

At 60% health the boss runs to the centre of the room, summons 4 Nokhud Stormcaster, and goes immune to damage until they are defeated. Keep their random target Storm Bolt cast interrupted, avoid the Lightning swirls, and heal through the Stormwinds ticking damage.

From 60% until dead the boss is now empowered by lightning, gaining additional effects on his abilities. Lightning swirls also continue for the remainder of the fight.

His new spear attack is Static Spear, which now grips all players to the location upon contact, so everyone will now need to avoid the Iron Stampede charge, or again just play on the south side of the room near the large rock and have the spear target run behind it.

Crackling Upheaval now also causes Quake to leave behind a Crackling Cloud puddle, so try and move this away from the rock you are using to avoid Iron Stampede and use a defensive here as you’ll always eat at least 1 tick in addition to the Quake damage.

The new tank combo consists of Conductive Strike followed by Thunder Strike. Healers make sure to dispel the magic DoT before the 2nd hit happens to avoid the damage amp. Tanks you’ll want to now defensive the 1st hit instead of the 2nd because of this.
