Strategy Guide
3 phases fight with 2 intermissions. It unfolds as follows: P1 -> Intermission 1 -> P2 -> Intermission 2 -> P3
P1, P2 and P3 are pretty similar: You fight the boss alone and deal with similar abilities. Intermission 1 and 2 are also pretty similar: The boss is immune and you fight adds.
P1 lasts until the boss has fallen to 65% HP.
Then Intermission 1 begins. It lasts about 2 minutes.
Then P2 starts. The phase ends when the vault's integrity drops to 0 or the boss' HP is under 25%, whichever happens first.
Intermission 2 lasts until you've killed its add.
Finally P3, the last phase. Burn the boss before the platform is filled with AOEs.
P1 lasts until the boss reaches 65% HP. The big danger is getting pushed off the platform.
EVERYONE
DROP YOUR BOMB OUT
OF THE RAID AT
ASSIGNED SPOTS
Several players get a bomb debuff that explodes after 8s. The explosion deals huge damage to the raid, reduced by the distance between players and the explosion.
Each explosion drops a zone on the ground that reduces movement speed and is mandatory to survive the boss' pushback.
EVERYONE
RESIST THE PUSHBACK
BY USING THE SNARE
ZONES FROM THE BOMBS.
At 100% energy, boss starts a 3s pushback channel that damages the raid.
You need to use the zones left by the Static Charge bombs to resist it or you'll be thrown off the platform.
EVERYONE
SPREAD AND INTERRUPT
OR PURGE TWICE THE
ADD TO KILL IT.
Heroic Changes: The add spawns with two charges. When you remove one, it dies and spawns a new add with one charge. Deal with the adds and you're good.
Every player gets a bomb, inflicting damage to the player and those nearby.
All players spawn 1 invulnerable add with 2 Volatile charge. Interrupting (stun, kick, fear, incapacitate, etc.) or purging the add removes a charge. At 0 charge, it dies.
If the add finishes its 3.5s Burst cast, it inflicts a heavy stacking DoT to the whole raid and dies.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE BOSS'
BIG BEAM.
A lethal beam of damage facing a random player.
EVERYONE
DODGE THE ZONES
ON THE GROUND.
IT'S NOT A BUFF.
AoEs in random places on the platform that stun and deal damage.
Tank swap ability. Heavy mix of physical and nature damage, and applies a vulnerability. Switch after each stack.
The boss deals constant ticking damage to the raid and regularly applies a DoT to a few players.

The boss deals constant ticking damage to the raid and regularly applies a DoT to a few players.
At 65% HP, a 2 minute intermission occurs. Dodge Raszageth beams and kill the adds. Surging Ruiner > Stormseeker Acolyte > Oathsworn Vanguard
EVERYONE
SPLIT THE RAID IN HALF
AND USE THE KNOCKBACK TO
REACH LOWER PLATFORMS.
Entering intermission, Raszageth casts a knockback. It allows you to reach the lower platforms for the intermission.
Split your raid in half and send a balanced group on each of the two lower platforms (left and right, not center).
Calculate the knock properly. You can get knocked off the platforms.
EVERYONE
BREAK THE SHIELDS FROM
THE ADDS AND QUICKLY
TAKE THEM DOWN.
This add spawns with a shield that deals damage to the raid.
When the shield is broken, 7 additional minions spawn and the add gains an aura increasing the damage of all adds by 100%.
EVERYONE
WATCH OUT FOR THE
BOSS' BREATH SWEEPING
ACROSS THE PLATFORM
The boss sweeps across the platform, exhaling lightning in a line, inflicting near-lethal damage and leaving behind damaging AoE.
Raszageth is immune to damage during this phase.
Bolt cast on a random player. Interrupt it as much as possible.
This add gains 10% haste after each successful hit.

This add gains 10% haste after each successful hit.
Bolt cast on a random player. Interrupt it as much as possible.
A phase similar to P1. We believe it ends after one or several casts of Stormsurge, dropping the Vault's integrity to 0%.
EVERYONE
STAY CLOSE TO PLAYERS
WITH YOUR POLARITY AND
BREAK THE ABSORB SHIELD.
Heroic Changes: Touching a player with a different polarity now triggers an AoE. Pre-spread or you might take a heavy amount of damage.
At 100 Energy, the boss gains a shield that must be broken. While active, each player gains a polarity (+ and -). Being close to a player from the same polarity gives you a 200% amplifier buff, being close to the opposite one inflicts a DoT.
If the absorb shield isn't broken after 25s, it explodes and inflicts a nasty 90s DoT to the raid.
EVERYONE
QUICKLY MOVE THROUGH
THE WAVE TO
LIMIT ITS DAMAGE.
The boss hits the floor with her wings, dealing damage to the raid and releasing an expanding ring in the room that pushes back and inflicts damage.
Move through it quickly to limit the damage.
EVERYONE
MOVE OUT WITH THE
BOMB. IF NO PLAYER IS HIT
THE BOMB IS REMOVED.
Several players get a bomb that slows them. After 4s the bomb explodes and leaves behind a DoT.
If the explosion hits other players, the bomb will jump to the nearest player hit. After each jump, the explosion's radius gets smaller, so it's easier to prevent further jumps.
EVERYONE
SPREAD AND INTERRUPT
OR PURGE THE ADD
TO KILL IT.
Heroic Changes: The add spawns with two charges. When you remove one, it dies and spawns a new add with one charge. Deal with the adds and you're good.

EVERYONE
WHEN THE BIG ADD TELEPORTS,
FOCUS DOWN THE SMALL ONES
AND USE CONTROLS TO SLOW THEM.
The Stormfiends teleport. They leave behind tiny adds that will rush toward the Stormfiends. If they reach them, they apply a stackable 25% damage buff and heal them by 5%.
After some time, the tiny adds become immune to CCs.

EVERYONE
SPREAD FAR FROM THE
RAID IN A SAFE SPOT. YOU
WILL GRIP EVERYONE.
Speculation:
An 8s bomb on random players. Upon explosion, it inflicts damage to the raid based on the distance. The farther away, the lower the damage.
It should also pull the raid to the location of the explosion. Bombs should go to far safe spots.
EVERYONE
USE THE KNOCK TO
REACH THE TOP PLATFORM.
AIM WELL OR DIE :(
Raszageth casts this knockback when she enters in Phase 3.
Use it to get knocked back onto the top platform or you will die. Position well.
EVERYONE
KILL THE BOSS
BEFORE THE ROOM IS
FILLED WITH AOES.
Soft enrage mechanism, the room is slowly filled with AoEs.
EVERYONE
DON'T STAND ON TANKS.
TANKS MUST MITIGATE TO
REDUCE THE DAMAGE TO RAID.
New tank mechanic
Beam on the current tank for 2s, inflicting massive damage. 1.5s after the beam, this tank (and any other players hit) explodes and deals damage to the raid. The more the beam was mitigated, the less damage the raid takes.
Applies a vulnerability, so switch tanks.

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.
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).
