Baleroc
Strategy Guide
This fight has only one phase.
The boss has very few mechanics but dealing with them properly is very important.
Healers have to manage their healing buff stacks to keep tanks alive.
Baleroc infuses his weapon with fire or shadow, both having differents effects.
Rotate your players to soak Shards of Torment.
DPS
SOAK SHARDS
OF TORMENT
Every 30s, Baleroc summons a Shard of Torment (two in 25 man), which casts Torment on the closest player within 15 yards.
Being the closest player to a Shard of Torment grants you Torment stacks, which give healers stacks of Vital Spark on direct heals.
If no player is within 15 yards of a Shard of Torment, it AoEs the whole raid for massive damage.
DPS
ROTATE SHARD
SOAKING
When Torment runs out, the player gets Tormented. This increases shadow damage taken by 250% and reduces healing done by 50%.
Rotate who soaks and avoid soaking as a healer.
Coming into melee contact with another player while Tormented spreads the debuff.
IF TARGETTED
QUICKLY RUN TO
THE LINKED PLAYER
Baleroc connects two random (non-tank) players, if they don't get within 4 yards of eachother within 8 seconds, they explode and deal high damage to the entire raid.
HEALERS
