Rashok, the Elder
Strategy Guide
This fight alternates between 2 phases, a P1 and an intermission.
In P1, you fight Rashok and deal with his abilities while he gains energy. At 100 he enrages and kills the raid.
Drag Rashok to the middle of the room just BEFORE he enrages. It starts an intermission which drains his energy back to 0. On Normal, you can do this 3 times.
In P1, Rashok regularly jumps on a player, leaving a permanent lava pool that shoots waves. DO NOT STACK LAVA POOLS. The room will get cramped.
During intermissions, Rashok does nothing while being drained and the raid takes massive damage. Then P1 starts again.
In P1, before every jump, Rashok spawns 2 orbs in the room that explode after 15s. If both explode, the raid wipes. Make him jump on one of the orbs to destroy it.
In P1, the DoT applied by Rashok's smash is now permanent. It can only be cleared by going to the middle of the room, which deals raid-wide damage.
After draining Rashok's energy 2 times, the conduit breaks and players can no longer clear the DoT from soaking his smash.
Rashok slowly gains energy. Drag him to the middle of the room BEFORE he reaches 100 energy and enrages. This starts an intermission.
The room is slowly filled by lava pools that shoot lava waves. Do not stack lava pools.
EVERYONE
MAKE RASHOK JUMP
ON ONE OF THE 2 ORBS
TO DESTROY IT.
EVERYONE
MAKE RASHOK JUMP
ON ONE OF THE 2 ORBS
TO DESTROY IT.
Regularly, Rashok targets a player and then jumps on them. Rashok drops a permanent lava pool where he lands and deals a burst of damage to the raid.
If Rashok lands on a shadowflame orb, he destroys it and prevents it from exploding. You must destroy one orb with every jump.
Each active lava pool increases the jump damage by 20%. The room will slowly get filled with them.
If Rashok lands on an another lava pool, it wipes the raid.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE WAVES.
When Rashok jumps on a player, all lava pools send out waves that damage any players they pass through.
Lava pools also regularly shoot out lava waves. You will have to dodge more and more of them.
EVERYONE
EVERYONE SOAK TO SPLIT THE
DAMAGE AND MINIMIZE THE
ENERGY RASHOK GAINS.
Rashok marks a large circle and smashes it, dealing massive damage split between players hit and giving him up to 50 energy.
The more players soak this smash, the less energy Rashok gains.
Everyone needs to soak this.
EVERYONE
STAGGER CLEARING THE
DOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM.
Rashok's smash applies a permanent DoT to all players.
Going to the conduit in the middle of the room clears it, but also deals raid-wide damage.
After draining Rashok's energy twice, it breaks the conduit. You won't be able to clear the DoT in the last P1.
EVERYONE
SOAK THE PROJECTILES.
ONE PLAYER EACH.
Regularly, Rashok launches a wave of projectiles in the room that need to be soaked. One player each.
Any projectiles that aren't soaked deal raid damage.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE CONE.
When he reaches high energy, Rashok turns toward a player and casts a massive mortal frontal cone.
Drag him to the center of the room shortly after to start intermission.
If or when Rashok reaches 100 energy, he enrages and quickly kills the raid.
Drag him to the conduit in the center of the room right BEFORE he enrages to trigger an intermission and drain his Energy back to 0.
You can do this 2 times, then you need to kill him.

Starts when you bring Rashok to the conduit in the middle of the room.
Bring him before he reaches 100 energy.
Short phase where Rashok does nothing and the raid takes massive damage.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE EXPLOSIONS,
THEY WILL KILL YOU.
Lines of explosions constantly shoot out from Rashok while he's being drained.
Rashok does nothing but constant, massive raid damage while being drained of his energy.
After draining Rashok's energy 2 times, the conduit breaks and you need to kill him before he enrages.
This also prevents players from clearing their DoT after soaking the smash.
Once all his energy is drained, Rashok frees himself from the conduit and deals a burst of raid damage. Then P1 starts again.
Also grants Rashok a long buff that increases the damage he deals in intermission by 500%.
Do not drag him to the middle of the room by mistake before it expires or it will kill you.

RESOURCES
A general WeakAura pack that provides "icon" style mechanics/debuff as well as short descriptions for each. Pretty standard. We also recommend downloading Causese Sound addon to hear vocal announcements. Feel free to thank the amazing Causese here (sorry, no Twitter that I know of...).
Another must have by Causese if you play or are planning to play tank. It informs you when to taunt and how your co-tank is doing with their mechanics.
Make sure to checkout the Causese Sound addon to also pair it with appropriate sound announcements.
