Boss Notes:

• Move the boss to any images that have spawned but watch out for the initial burst of damage.
• You can avoid stacks of Shadow Shock with Anti-Magic Shell
• You can use Gorefiend’s Grasp to gather up Images of Absolution and clear up room.
• As both tanks are always a different colour and there is nothing to tank when the boss goes away we are prime candidates to call out or mark which Illusion to attack.

Boss Notes:

• Death Grip the Darters towards the raid for more cleave.
• Use Gorefiend’s Grasp to help kill the Drone waves faster.
• When the bosses have to be split up, the range is not as big as some might expect, so keeping them close will still allow some classes to cleave.

• This can also be interrupted by Strangulate and/or Death Grips.
• You can avoid Void Corruption stacks with Anti-Magic Shell.
• When you have Despair, make sure you help the healers top yourself with death strikes towards the end of the debuff. Don’t waste your runic power too early.

Boss Notes:

• Anti-Magic Shell does not prevent any debuffs, but it can be used to reduce damage from his tank hitting abilities.
• Death Strike is very effective for Decaying Strike and as a Death Knight you should be able to take more than other tanks.
