Raid Setup

Introduction

4-Target Cleave fight and the bosses do not share a health pool

Recommended Setup: 2 Tanks / 4 Healers / 14 DPS

Useful utilities: Immunities

This guide has been updated for Awakened in Season 4 of Dragonflight.

With the item level curve of Season 4 and there not being any affixes means that the fight should be quite similar to when it was first released. Any further updates needed for Awakened tuning will be made as soon as possible.

Easy Mode

Mechanics

Primal Blizzard Mechanic Icon

Primal Blizzard

Range and Melee clear in seperate fire

On Mythic, clearing stacks of Primal Blizzard will consume the fire on the ground. Early into the fight that could become problematic if all players soak the same puddle. The best way to deal with this is having Melee players soak the closest fire puddle, and Range players the one in the back. This will ensure that there is enough fire for all players.

Conductive Mark Mechanic Icon

Conductive Mark

Spread and clear with Pillars

On Mythic, the marks will not expire unless removed by getting close to an Earthen Pillar. Additionally, the damage taken by it is increased by a lot, so it's very important that players spread properly for each application of Conductive Marks to avoid heavy damage spikes.

Strategy

This fight behaves exactly like it does on Heroic but forces you to play it much cleaner.

General Tips

  • Properly spread each time Conductive Mark is cast and remove it with Earthen Pillar
  • Kill as many of the Earthen Pillars as possible with each Meteor Axe Cast
  • Range players, do not clear in Fire puddles close to melee when removing Primal Blizzard stacks. It will force melees to run into far puddles or freeze them if they do not clear on time.
  • Ensure all 4 bosses die roughly at the same time, as this is much more punishing on Mythic.
  • If you are struggling to stay alive, you may add another healer or get one of your DPS players to spec into heal. It will help a lot with out-healing clumsy plays.
