The tips and recommendations listed here are based on educated opinions from PTR raid testing and reviewing logs and videos, so strategies can change as we develop a better understanding of each fight or as the spec and bosses are tuned. If you have any disagreements, feedback, or questions, please feel welcome to reach out to the team.


Miscellaneous Tips

  • Recommendations that include Icefury are written with the assumption that you have access to Frost Shock, the same applies to Liquid Magma Totem, Totemic Recall and Call of the Elements.

  • GCDs spent on healing and utilities are GCDs not spent on damage, but both are necessary to down a raid boss. Find the balance to optimize your contributions to your raid team.

  • Time spent in Ghost Wolf is time spent not doing damage. Practice proactive movement and utilize Spiritwalker’s Grace, Gust of Wind and instant casts as much as you can for movement heavy encounters.

  • Planning and using Earth Elemental on a particular phase can alleviate the difficulty of whole parts of a fight. It will increase your maximum health by an additional 15 % and can give you Primordial Bond for the whole duration. Be careful and remember that it could interfere with your Primal Fire/Storm Elemental usage when Primal Elementalist is talented.

  • Recall that Stampeding Roar is now more potent than Wind Rush Totem. Depending on your raid comp, it may be better to spend that talent point somewhere else.

  • Remember to buy Gateway Control Shard in Valdrakken. It will allow you to use Demonic Gateway easily.

Additional Notes:

  • Renewed Hatchlings (Mythic-only) are CC-able. There’s potential for a strategy where you would perma CC them, which would make Earthgrab Totem and Hex viable options. It’s unlikely since the boss is one of the first ones, which means it probably won’t require this level of micro management (logs seem to indicate this as well)
