Broodlord Lashlayer Guide: Strategy, Abilities, Loot (Updated for the Season of Mastery)

• You will want at least 2 tanks.
• Positioning is key. Get in correct positions and do not move. You will want to hold the boss with your back into a corner since he does a knockback ability.

• The tanks will get a healing reduction debuff, so make sure to keep them topped.
• You will immediately go from doing the Suppression Room to fighting the boss, so play conservatively and make sure to have enough Mana at the end of the Suppression Room.

• Two Rogues should stay out of combat while stealthed to keep using Disarm Trap on the pillars as they come back up.
• Melee need to make sure to run back and LoS every time the boss is about to cast Blast Wave.

• Getting the boss positioned correctly is the most important part of the fight. Have your tank pull the boss to the corner next to where he is standing, with the tanks wedging themselves into the corner. The boss will knock back the tank occasionally, and this will circumvent that.
• The melee need to be ready to run back and LoS when Blast Wave is about to go out.
• Have two Rogues stay out of combat in stealth to keep the traps disarmed.

• Blast Wave is a cast that Broodlord Lashlayer will do, exploding to deal lots of Fire damage to anyone nearby. Melee either need to run far away to where ranged are standing, or LoS it around the corner next to him.
• Mortal Strike will debuff your main tank, reducing their healing taken by 50% while active. Just make sure to spam your tank with lots of healing.

Broodlord Lashlayer is a much easier fight than the two preceding it. To start the fight, you will need to finish making your way through the Suppression Room, which basically just involves moving purposefully while AoEing down whelps, with at least two Rogues staying in stealth to disarm traps in the direction that your raid is traveling. Once you get through the Suppression Room to the end and clear the last wave of whelps you are attacking, you will want to pull immediately, since more adds will keep spawning.

Pull Broodlord Lashlayer into the corner to the right of where he stands. Have your tank wedge themselves into the corner with their back to it to avoid the knock back mechanic that he does. Broodlord himself only has three main abilities, consisting of a cleave, a mortal strike, and Blast Wave. The cleave and mortal strike just mean your tanks will need lots of healing, but the Blast Wave means your melee will need to run back and LoS around a corner when it is being cast.

The other important part of the fight is to not forget about traps. Have two of your Rogues, preferably the same two from the Suppression Room, stay stealthed out of combat to keep using Disarm Trap on the traps as they reactivate. If you can keep traps under control, position the boss correctly, and keep tanks alive, the fight should prove to be an easy kill.
