3 Phase Fight

Phase 1

Circular Room, managing space is the main mechanic.

• Plasma Discharge
  • Basic gunk drop mechanic, bring to outer edge of room, drops 3 puddles. GTFO puddles
• Cudgel Of Gore
  • Charges at the current tank after a cast, then slams ground, dealing 98k damage to anyone hit. Tank needs to aim this into the puddles of gunk, the slam clears the gunk within 15 yards.
  • Everyone else needs to back away 30 yards, as he does AoE damage to the raid, decreasing based on distance up to 30 yards, plus knockback. DO NOT GET KNOCKED BACK INTO PUDDLES
• Retrieve Cudgel
  • Charges towards wherever he left his cudgel, don’t get hit
• Sanguine Shock
  • Basic knockback mechanic. Selects a target, then after a few seconds knocks back everyone between the boss and that person. Only issue is the knockback can put you into the gunk, killing you.
  • CAN target people with plasma discharge, knocking them into gunk. This may require healer single target CDs to save the people.
  • It hits in a small frontal cone, and sends out 5 thin waves of blood
  • Melee need to be aware when this occurs, so they don’t get hit
  • Range need to react as fast as melee. This ability travels through the room rather quickly, and it requires ranged to be paying attention
• P1 Strat
  • Raid should be loosely spread out through the right-hand side of the room. Tank boss at far north point. Bring Plasma Discharges to a pre-marked spot on left side of the room, say rear-left facing boss. AIm Cudgel of Gore towards the gunk. Whoever is targeted by Sanguine Shock moves to the other side than where the gunk is, say to the right side facing the boss. At 60%, this phase ends.

Phase 2 - Elevator

• Volatile Droplet
  • Little ooze adds, fixate random raid players and explode on contact + 5 yard knockback. These droplets explode when they reach their targets. The offtank can run over these and soak the explosion, and this is highly recommended.
  • Keep raid closely stacked on a marked player, with the Offtank closer to the middle of the room to soak the adds.
• Coalesced Blood
  • MUST be tanked.
  • Leaves a Blood Storm on the ground, basically just more gunk. Will need to be slowly kited around the outside of the elevator.
  • LAZER BEAM
    • During intermission, there’s Lazer Beams beneath the floor
    • This is COOL AS SHIT
    • You need to look below the platform as we move, and not get hit by the lazers as the platform passes through them
    • Think like, security system lazer beams in movies

• P2 Strat
  • Raid starts on an edge of the elevator with one ranged player marked as a stack point. Everyone stacks on that player except for tanks. One tank handles Coalesced Blood, slightly behind where the raid group is, moving closer to them as needed due to Blood Storm on the ground. Offtank stands closer to the middle of the room than the raid stack. We slowly work our way around the outside edge of the elevator until we hit the bottom.
  • Upon reaching bottom, boss does medium knockback to kick us off elevator, and clears the entire room of gunk patches.
  • Kill off all remaining adds ASAP
  • Lazer Beam will most likely require one person choosing safe zones. I recommend your Raid Leader be the marked player for everyone else to follow. The RL's only job during phase 2 is to track the lazer beams, and guide everyone to safe spots so you don't lose people.

Phase 3 - Rinse and Repeat of P1

• All mechanics from P1 return, handled the same way
  • The room is so large you never actually need to clear the gunk, but still should. Use the Cudgel of Gore charge as it was used in p1.
• Volatile Droplet
  • These adds continue spawning throughout all of Phase 3
  • Offtank simply soaks these before they hit someone.

• Phase 3 Strat
  • This phase is a repeat of p1, plus adds to soak. The easiest way to handle it seems to be to essentially ignore the idea of clearing blood pools with the Cudgel, and simply continue moving around the room. The Plasma Discharge puddles should be dropped to the LEFT, as close to the wall as possible, ~20 yards behind where the boss is. When you run out of room where you start the phase, readjust positioning by rotating to the right.
  • The rest of the raid should be loosely spread behind the boss, but on the left-side of the room, focused on avoiding Sanguine Static.
    • Targeted person for Sanguine Static should move to the RIGHT side, to face the ability away from the rest of the raid
  • Tank targeted by Cudgel of Gore should still attempt to aim it somewhat towards the gunk, but mainly just away from the raid
  • Basically, if you look @ picture below, start exactly as p1. Every time plasma discharges are dropped, shift the boss clockwise. Continue aiming Sanguine Shock away from everything. Offtank soaks the Volatile Droplets wherever they can, before they reach the raid.

Mythic Changes:

• Hardened Arteries
  • Debuffs a target, making them progressively slower over 6s, then exploding for 82k damage to everyone within 8 yards
    • 1 shot mechanic to anyone standing near, so GTFO
  • Looks to be 10 at a time
• Enlarged Heart
  • Targets a random TANK, and then causes an explosion on that person for 827k damage, split between everyone near. Forced stacking.
    • One at a time, cast on tanks
    • 5-6 seconds to react before it explodes, all players that are not affected by Hardened Arteries must collapse on melee with the debuffed tank
• Both of these mechanics occur at the same time, every 60s. Everyone with Hardened Arteries needs to spread out. You get a targeting circle, make sure your circle isn't on top of another player's character. Everyone NOT affected by Hardened Arteries needs to stack into melee on the Tank with Enlarged Heart. Once the abilities both explode at the same time, reposition how you were.
• Lastly, on Mythic there are significantly more Lazers in p2. It appears you pass through Lazers around twice as often, and there's always 2 Lazers at a time.
