The last raid of MoP is here, thank you all for reading. Do I need to start No Life at 95 soon?




Immerseus

Overview:

Fight consists of two phases, he'll be stationary in the middle the entire time. Each time his health goes to 0 phase 2 begins, the more puddles you kill/heal, the less energy he'll have in phase 1, the faster the fight will end.

Phase 1: There's constant void zones being formed from Sha Bolts, stay spread out and move as soon as one forms. He'll do a 180 degree Swirl that spouts water clockwise. Either outrun it or go to the other side.

Phase 2: He splits into Sha Puddles and Contaminated Puddles. You don't want these to reach Immerseus as they cause damage to the raid. Slow/Stun/Root/Kill Sha Puddles, stand next to them when one dies to be buffed with Sha Residue to help you kill Sha Puddles faster. Heal Contaminated Puddles, the more you heal the slower they go, stand next to them when they're topped to get mana back.

What to do:

Tanks: Turn the boss away from everyone, only one tank should be in front of him at all times. Don't walk into the boss. Taunt off when he uses Corrosive Blast. Don't stand in Sha Bolt void zones, don't get hit by Swirl. Help kill Puddles in phase 2.

Heals: Don't stand in Sha Bolt void zones, don't get hit by Swirl.Get ready to aoe heal when Puddles reach him in phase 2, heal Contaminated Puddles to full as fast as you can, HOTs are useful here.

DPS: Bloodlust at the start. Don't stand in Sha Bolt void zones, don't get hit by Swirl. Don't stand in front of the boss or walk into him. In phase 2, Slow/Stun/Root/Kill Sha Puddles, stand next to them when one dies to be buffed with Sha Residue to help you kill Sha Puddles faster.

The Fallen Protectors

Overview:

You fight Rook Stonetoe(Monk), He Softfoot(Rogue), and Sun Tenderheart(Priest). They all must die within 20 seconds of each other or they heal for 20% of their health. Whenever any of them reach 66% or 33% health, they'll start an add phase.

Rook should be tanked facing away from everyone at all times due to Vengeful Strikes, which stuns everyone in front of him. He'll toss Corrupted Brew at random people, just stay out of the green swirls. He'll use Clash to bring everyone to him and immediately start Corruption Kick, run out when that happens. He summons three adds during his add phase. Misery causes Defiled Ground, stay out of it. Sorrow casts Inferno Strike, which is a meteor, stack up to absorb it. Gloom casts Corruption Shock, a chain lightning that hits everyone within 4 yards.

He Softfoot will Gouge the tank unless he turns away or runs out of range. He will also Garrote random members. He drops Noxious Poison which is green gas you don't want to stand in. During his add phase he places a Mark of Anguish which roots you and fixates an add on you, this gives you an extra action button that allows you to toss this mark on someone else. The Embodied Anguish will stack Shadow Weakness on its target which causes it to take more and more damage. You can just pass the mark to the tank and have him deal with it.

Sun Tenderheart will randomly Sha Sear someone, stay spread out. Dispel Shadow Word: Bane as soon as possible. She also casts Calamity for 30% of everyone's health, this is unavoidable. Her add phase starts by putting a bubble on the ground. During Dark Meditation, everyone must stay under the bubble and aoe down the adds, phase ends when the Embodied Despair and Embodied Desperation die.

What to do:

Tanks: Bring each to 66% one at a time and then to 33%, they all must die within 20 seconds of each other. One tank on Rook and one tank on He. Face Rook away from everyone, you can tank He on top of Sun for the cleave. Turn around or run away when He uses Gouge. Stay out of Corrupted Brew, run out of Corruption Kick, Noxious Poison, Defiled Ground. Stay spread out for Corruption Shock and Sha Sear. Make sure to pick up adds during Rook's add phase, use a cooldown when you get focused by Mark of Anguish. Go into the bubble during Dark Meditation, but still face Rook away from everyone.

Heals: Stay out of Corrupted Brew, run out of Corruption Kick, Noxious Poison, Defiled Ground. Stay spread out for Corruption Shock and Sha Sear. Dispel Shadow Word: Bane as soon as possible. A lot of raid damage will go out during Sha Tenderheart's Dark Meditation.

Dps: Bring each to 66% one at a time and then to 33%, they all must die within 20 seconds of each other. Bring them down in the order Rook>He>Sun and repeat, bloodlust on Sun's second Dark Meditation. Stay out of Corrupted Brew, run out of Corruption Kick, Noxious Poison, Defiled Ground. Stay spread out for Corruption Shock and Sha Sear. During Rook's add phase, always kill Sorrow first, and then Misery and then Gloom. Stack up for Sorrow's Inferno Strike. ALWAYS kill adds before focusing a boss. Get in the bubble for Sun Tenderfoot's Dark Meditation and aoe adds.

Norushen

Overview:
Each player has a Corruption meter, the more corrupt you get, the less damage you deal to the Amalgam of Corruption. Players will randomly be selected to test their ability to perform their roles. Performing your role successfully will cause your corruption to be reduced, you get a buff that lets you do bonus damage, take less damage or do more healing. Each time you exit the portal a new add will spawn which needs to die, if they reach the Amalgam of Corruption, the Amalgam gains Fusion and does 5% more damage for 15 seconds. Icy Fear is an Aoe on all players not in the portal every 3 seconds, it'll do more damage as time goes on. When it reaches 50% health it becomes Frayed and spawns adds every 10% of health lost thereafter. More adds will also spawn from Draw, which spawns an add for everyone above 75 corruption. The Amalgam will use Self Doubt on tank which requires a tank swap. When an add dies, it leaves a void zone that will deal aoe damage to everyone until it is picked up. Picking it up will increase corruption, so a tank or healer should pick it up.

What to do:

Tanks: Tank swap when Self Doubt is used. Offtank needs to pick up Manifestation of Corruption adds and stand in Residual Corruption void zones that form when they die to stop the aoe. If you are selected to be tested, you have to survive against a Titanic Corruption for a minute. Avoid all AOE on the ground and interrupt the Titanic Corruption whenever you can.

Heals: If you are selected for the test, heal up all friendly adds. Stand in Residual Corruption void zones that form when they die to stop the aoe if the tanks are busy. Icy Fear is an Aoe on all players not in the portal every 3 seconds, it'll do more damage as time goes on.

Dps: Always kill adds first, the adds cause damage they take onto the boss with Foul Link. Kill adds in the test realm while avoiding damage, collect the orbs to be purified. Bloodlust after 50%, still kill adds.


Sha of Pride

Overview:
Each player has a Pride meter, every minute the Sha uses Swelling Pride which does damage and adds 5 pride to all players. Depending on how much pride you have, something else will happen.
25-49 Pride: Bursting Pride - Explosion of Sha Corruption at the player's location, move out. 5 pride to anyone who gets caught in it.
50-74 Pride: Projection - Summons a projection 15 yards from the player, the player has to stand on his own projection or it explodes in 6 seconds. 5 pride gained if damaged.
75-99 Pride: Aura of Pride - The player gains a 5 yard aoe that will cause damage and 5 pride to anyone within 5 yards.
100 Pride: Overcome - Permanent mind control.
The Sha will also put Mark of Arrogance on players, this will deal damage. The dispeller will receive 5 pride. Sha of Pride summons Manifestation of Pride adds to attack, these need to die quickly, they will randomly attack players causing 5 pride, and when they die the two closest players gain 5 pride. The Sha will also randomly target players with high levels of pride with Self-Reflection, which causes a reflection to explode at the player's location. He also casts Corrupted Prison which puts players in a prison, two players have to step on the switches next to the prison to free the players.
Norushen will use Gift of the Titans on random players, when this happens you will not gain pride for 20 seconds. Whichever healer has this should dispel Mark of Arrogance from other players. If all players with Gift of the Titans stand within 8 yards, they gain Power of the Titan, increasing haste and all damage and healing done by 15%.
At 30% health, the Sha is Unleashed, kill it quickly.

What to do:

Tanks: Tank swap when you have Wounded Pride Don't stand on top of the other tank, watch the Sha's energy, when it reaches 100 it'll cast an ability, run away from Bursting Pride, run and stand on your own Projection if it spawns, don't get hit by Self-Reflection if it spawns at your feet.

Heals: Stack up loosely behind the boss, watch the Sha's energy, spread out when it reaches 100 it'll cast an ability, run away from Bursting Pride, run and stand on your own Projection if it spawns, don't get hit by Self-Reflection if it spawns at your feet. Whichever healer has this should dispel Mark of Arrogance from other players. If a player is imprisoned, two players go step on the glowing yellow plates to release them. If all players with Gift of the Titans stand within 8 yards, they gain Power of the Titan.

Dps: Bloodlust at 30%.  Stack up loosely behind the boss, watch the Sha's energy, spread out when it reaches 100 it'll cast an ability, run away from Bursting Pride, run and stand on your own Projection if it spawns, don't get hit by Self-Reflection if it spawns at your feet.Swap and kill Manifestation of Pride ASAP, interrupt and stun it. If a player is imprisoned, two players go step on the glowing yellow plates to release them. If all players with Gift of the Titans stand within 8 yards, they gain Power of the Titan.
